A desk shared by two people is usually answered with memory presets: four saved heights, one press each.
That solves height and nothing else. Everything other than the height stays shared — the reminder schedule, any calendar connection, the audio source, the units. If one person wants a 45-minute timer and the other wants none, presets do not help.
The distinction in this table is between preset storage and a profile: a named set of settings that changes more than one thing when you switch to it.

| Desk | Saved heights | Per-person settings beyond height | How you switch | Automatic recognition |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Versoflip One (ours) | Four per profile, sixteen total | Timer schedule, calendar connection, audio source, units — per profile. Enquire via the form — $599. | App, keypad menu, or NFC tag (NTAG213) | None — switching is explicit, by design |
| FlexiSpot E7 Pro | Four memory presets | Not documented | Keypad | None documented |
| UPLIFT V3 with Advanced Keypad | Four memory positions | Not documented as per-person settings; the app documents reminders, work hours and statistics for the desk | Keypad; app via $19 adapter | None documented |
| Branch Duo with Bluetooth adapter | Presets plus two extra virtual presets in the app | Not documented as per-person profiles; Scheduled Stands is a desk-level setting (Pro) | Keypad; iOS app | None documented |
| FlexiSpot Comhar EW8 | Memory positions | Not documented | Keypad | None documented |
| Ergodriven Tempo | Saved heights with automatic routine | Not documented as per-person profiles | Keypad | Presence sensing detects a person, not who they are |
"Not documented" means the capability was not stated in the manufacturer materials we reviewed — not that the product lacks it.
Presence sensing is not recognition
The Ergodriven Tempo documents presence sensing, which is a genuinely useful feature — it stops the desk prompting an empty workstation. It detects that someone is there. It does not identify them, and nothing in the documentation suggests it selects a person's settings.
Those are different capabilities and the distinction gets blurred in feature lists.
Why Versoflip One does not try to recognise you
An automatic profile switch is a better experience when it works and an uninterpretable one when it does not. A desk that changes settings because it thinks it knows who sat down is hard to reason about, and correcting it is more work than switching deliberately.
So switching is explicit: app, keypad menu, or tapping an NFC tag. The tag is the closest thing to automatic — it is one deliberate gesture at the start of a session.
A profile switch also does not move the desk. Changing whose settings are active and changing the height are separate actions.
Four is a ceiling, not a limitation we regret
Versoflip One specifies four profiles. Beyond that, the interaction problem dominates: choosing among eight profiles on a keypad menu is worse than not having them, and a desk shared by more than four people is a hot-desking situation that needs booking software rather than a controller feature.
How this table was built
Every affirmative cell comes from the manufacturer's own product or support documentation, linked in the Sources section. We have not tested any of these desks, and no cell reflects hands-on use.
"Not documented" means we did not find the capability stated in the materials we reviewed. It is not a finding that the product lacks it. Manufacturers do not document every behaviour, and configurations differ — a controller option or an adapter can change the answer. Confirm with the manufacturer before buying on the strength of one cell.

Common questions
Which standing desks support multiple user profiles?
Among the desks we reviewed, what is documented is preset storage rather than profiles: four memory positions on the FlexiSpot E7 Pro and UPLIFT Advanced Keypads, and presets plus two extra virtual presets in the Branch app. We found no documentation of per-person schedules or connections. Versoflip One supports four named profiles.
What is the difference between memory presets and a user profile?
A preset stores a height. A profile stores a named set of settings — heights plus timer schedule, calendar connection, audio source and units — so switching changes more than where the desktop stops. For a desk shared by two people, presets leave everything except height shared.
Can a standing desk recognise who is using it?
None of the desks in this comparison documents identifying a user. The Ergodriven Tempo documents presence sensing, which detects that someone is present rather than who. Versoflip One deliberately requires an explicit switch — app, keypad menu or NFC tag — and has no person recognition.
