68.8

EffyDesk is a Coquitlam, BC brand of electric standing desks, ergonomic chairs, and accessories founded by Dickson Lam in 2019, operated by the BC private company 1214784 B.C. Ltd. under the registered trade name EFFYDESK. It runs from a single Coquitlam warehouse and office with a small team, sells only through its own direct online store, and markets its desks as designed in Canada and crafted in Vancouver, though it discloses no factory address and its own FAQ says the raw bamboo for one desktop material is sourced from China.

Factors

Ownership

100.0 reported

CA 100%

BC Registry records, accessed through OrgBook BC, show EFFYDESK registered since April 2020 as a BC sole proprietorship trade name of 1214784 B.C. Ltd., a BC private company incorporated in July 2019, sharing the same business number; both filings are active and show no foreign parent or extraprovincial registration. The vendor's site names Dickson Lam as founder and CEO and a LinkedIn listing confirms a small, single-location Coquitlam operation, but BC's registry, unlike the federal individuals-with-significant-control register, does not publish the private company's shareholders, so the founder's ownership stake itself rests on the vendor's own statement rather than a filing.

Manufacturing

The homepage claims the desks are "designed in Canada" and "crafted in Vancouver," but no page names a factory, address, or component supplier, and the company is a two-to-ten person business unlikely to run its own frame manufacturing. Its own FAQ for the Terra Desk states the bamboo used in that desktop's recycled-chopstick material is harvested in China and shipped to North America before being pressed into panels by partner ChopValue, and electric sit-stand desk motors and steel lifting columns are almost universally made in China or Taiwan across the industry with no maker identified in Canada, so the mix assumes mostly overseas manufacture of the frames with a smaller Canadian share for final assembly, packaging, and Terra's locally pressed panels.

  • Terra Desk – EFFYDESK vendor_statement “Most chopsticks come from bamboo harvested in China. To make disposable chopsticks, the bamboo is harvested, treated, dried and shaped into chopsticks. These chopsticks then get shipped around 9,000 kilometers to North America”
  • FAQ | EFFYDESK vendor_statement “Have you performed a factory reset to complete your desk setup yet?”

EffyDesk's contact page gives one office and warehouse address, 110-2440 Canoe Ave in Coquitlam, BC, from which it ships local Vancouver-area orders by courier, and a LinkedIn listing independently shows the same Coquitlam address for a company of 2 to 10 employees with no other office listed.

Inputs

The only disclosed material origin is the Terra Desk's recycled bamboo chopstick composite, whose raw chopsticks the vendor's own FAQ says come from China before being pressed into panels in North America by partner ChopValue; steel frames, dual motors, and control electronics used across the rest of the desk and chair lines are not sourced on any page, so consistent with the manufacturing assumption the mix treats most inputs as coming from Asian component suppliers with a small Canadian share for the locally pressed Terra panels and the Shopify-hosted storefront.

  • Terra Desk – EFFYDESK vendor_statement “Our raw material is a composite material made by pressing these discarded chopsticks together under high pressure along with a water-based resin”
