What Is the HAT Collective One Touch?
The HAT Collective One Touch Single is a premium electric sit-stand desk converter that installs on any existing desk in under 20 minutes. Instead of buying a completely new standing desk, the One Touch sits on top of your current desk and raises your monitor, keyboard, and work surface to standing height at the press of a single button.
It's fully freestanding — no clamps, no screws into your desk surface, no modifications of any kind.
What's in the Box
When your One Touch arrives you'll find:
- One Touch converter unit (upper and lower work surfaces)
- Electric motor and lift mechanism
- Power cable
- 75mm and 100mm VESA adapters (included for monitor compatibility)
- Installation instructions
Everything you need is in the box. No additional hardware required.
Installation Overview
Time required: Under 20 minutes
Tools required: None
Desk modification required: None
The One Touch is designed to be fully freestanding. You simply place it on your existing desk surface and connect the power cable. The electric motor does the rest.
Step-by-Step Installation
Step 1 — Choose your desk position Place the One Touch on your desk where you want your workstation. The lower worksurface is 36"W x 17"D and the upper surface is 36"W x 15"D — make sure you have enough desk depth to accommodate both surfaces comfortably.
Step 2 — Connect the power cable Plug the power cable into the back of the unit and connect to a wall outlet or power strip. The motor is electric so it needs a power connection to operate.
Step 3 — Mount your monitor Attach your monitor to the upper surface using the included VESA adapters. Both 75mm and 100mm VESA patterns are included. The One Touch Single supports monitors up to 43" with a weight of up to 25 lbs per monitor.
Step 4 — Set up your keyboard and accessories Place your keyboard, mouse, and any other accessories on the lower work surface. Total weight capacity across both surfaces is 100 lbs.
Step 5 — Test the one-touch adjustment Press the button to raise the converter to standing height. The 20" height adjustment range accommodates users of virtually any height for proper ergonomic positioning. Press again to lower back to sitting height.
That's it — your sit-stand workstation is ready to use.
One Touch Lineup — Which Model Is Right for You?
The One Touch comes in several configurations depending on how many monitors you're running:
| Model | Monitors | Price | Best For |

| One Touch Single | 1 | $1,159 | Single monitor home office |
| One Touch Dual | 2 | $1,409 | Dual monitor workstation |
| One Touch Two Over Two | 4 | $1,699 | Trading desk 4 monitors |

One Touch vs Full Standing Desk — Which Should You Choose?
| Factor | One Touch Converter | Full Standing Desk |
|---|---|---|
| Installation | Under 20 minutes, no tools | Assembly required |
| Cost | $1,159 – $1,869 | $1,099 – $1,589+ |
| Works with existing desk | Yes | No — replaces your desk |
| Best for | Renters, corporate offices, quick setup | Permanent home office |
| Portability | Easy to move | Difficult to move |
If you already have a desk you love and don't want to replace it, the One Touch is the right call. If you're setting up a permanent home office from scratch, a full standing desk like the HAT Collective Mid HAT or Hi-HAT may be a better fit.
