I'm not going to rank myself but heres how I'd rank companies based on consumer products, customer service etc.

1. Fully
2. Uplift
3. Herman Miller
4. Steelcase
5. Haworth

​

I'd avoid:

1. Xdesk
2. Imovr

There are of course tons of other brands that are great but I always look at who they are, what they are offering, price to value, are they just a "brand", or do they actually have a warehouse to service their customers . For example, Ergonofis. Seems like a great company. Probably is a great company. However, their flagship desk frame is a linak DL1 kick and click system which is IMO a bad frame. So while the company may have great customer service, I just can't put my faith in them when they use such a bad frame...again, in my opinion. I'm obsessed using the best and in my eyes, using a bad frame, but spending thousands on marketing because our tops are beautiful and they will buy it anyways doesn't sit well with me.

This site has a sort of tiering which seems to make sense to me.

I just received my Uplift desk and got it put together.. I'm in love with this thing. Very sturdy and the laminate is high quality it seems. I got the 60x30 and im enjoying my work sessions so much more. I'd recommend getting some monitor arms with them to maximize ergonomics.. I got the crestview ones for $200 but they are worth it, clamp on and fully adjustable.

I think you will always be fine with Fully Jarvis. They have great support and are responsive. We own an L shaped desk with Bamboo.

I don't think it's that deep. You scored getting some cheaper ones that work well. Uplift from my experience is a high quality desk and thats the only point I was getting across. I definitely dont think however that you can apply that same expectation for the actual desk. Maybe monitor arms you can score at a cheap price like that - I don't recommend someone try and cheap out for the actual desk though.

Seconded. Both my buddy and I got desks from them (1 year apart). Both came without issue. Mine had a minor manufacturing defect on one of the screws but nothing major that I felt warranted an email to them. Sti

Another option is https://ergonofis.com/ many of their desks are made in Canada, just the motor comes from China

I did ask them about where their products are made and this is the answer I got:

“Please see the attached screenshot for our hardwood desktop origins. The frames and motors are made in China.”

I’ve been using a MotionGrey frame for 5 years - pretty affordable and no complaints. For the surface, I bought a butcher block countertop from Home Depot (yes, I know they’re American… this was 2020). Should be able to find something similar at Home Hardware or IKEA.

Bestar is a Canadian company from Lac Magantic, Quebec.

I bought my standing desk from them, off Costco’s website site. It’s been years; I don’t know where it was made but I’m sure you can look up origin on their website.

When I bought the desk I didn’t even realize it was a Canadian company. Based on the name I had assumed it was a Chinese brand, in the way Amazon now has all these off-brand names that look like a random series of letters.

After some googling I was pleasantly surprised. Even more so when I learned they are based in Lac Megantic, and how the company invited businesses that were affected by the Lac Megantic rail disaster to work out of their factory while the town was being rebuilt.

No.

At our price points. Yes.

But there are other desks out there that are more stable but also 4x the cost.

Even the cheapest model (essentially a Jarvis) is very solid in the low position, stiff enough for computer use in the high, and doesn't strain with 300 pounds. The four-leg, four-motor Apex Pro Max with a crossbar is as far as you can take any desk with off-the-shelf lifting columns. It could be an engine lift.

It's always possible to take things further with an unlimited budget. There's just no reason to do it unless the top is four inches of granite.

My deskhaus Apex Pro is extremely sturdy. It's on carpet which I know isn't always ideal but it doesn't rock or sway or feel unbalanced. I even do reverse body weight rows on mine when feeling the motivation. Anyway, I've had it for 2 years now and I think it has been a great purchase.

Just buy a Deskhause. You won’t regret it.

Must try FlexiSpot

Their support chat on the website is very responsive, even reached out via email after to confirm a question.

My desk, that’s my favorite because I already own it and it’s got my stuff on it. /s

I have a 90x70 progressive L shaped desk in my home office and it’s my battle station and lab.

I've only owned one so far, but the vari v2 72x30 has been great for my gaming station so far.

It's sturdy, has dual motors and was under 900.

Got mine from dokk.store, but not sure they ship to US though. Stable AF, highly customizable and relatively cheap compared to others.

If you're in the US, fully is probably your best chance right now.. 30% off plus 10% discount code (ohana10) was still good this past weekend.. for a total of 37% off the Remy or Jarvis. For a moderate size that's roughly $300-$500, or the same price as the cheap stuff on Amazon

I built myself a desk on a USM KITOS frame. It's a modular system for office desks by the same Swiss company that produces USM Haller modular furniture, the KITOS system has been around since the 1980s. They're built extremely sturdy (think steel tube held together with M12 bolts) and have a few manual and electric sit-stand options. In my case I got a tiltable sit-stand frame from an architectural office, and the arm and leg extension from a bank. Because the system is modular, you can build them in arbitrary sizes and shapes, you see them regularly as L-shaped desks, as coffee tables on a single column, and as hexagonal and oval conference tables.

I got an Ikea electric sit/stand desk leg set, and chose a different desk top for it. So far, I love it and it didn't break the bank. I chose a solid wood butcher-block top and just screwed the legs on.

If money isn’t an issue I’d recommend you build your own. Order a set of standing legs from Amazon, I recommend Huanuo or Vivo, and then get a piece of butcher block counter top from Lowe’s or Home Depot. Looks infinitely nicer and is infinitely more sturdy than any of the ones you’d order with the cheap particle board veneer tops.

Secretlab Magnus Pro XL. It's a gaming desk but it can also work as a regular desk. It's not heavily branded or stylized.

Depending on your budget and country your in. Personally I went with a company called desky and well just down the road from me so was a no trainer though I did have to pay more compared to other amazon or others but I liked the variety of woods and colours though you can always get one of those kitchen bench top and screw it on some frames.

That post has only three recommendations and barely any upvotes.

Fully.com. Really nice products priced appropriately. I have the Capsico chair and their widest /tallest standing desk in black laminate.. I’m 6’6” and it was the brand that would actually accommodate my standing height. Life changing.

Just get stand alone standing desk legs (like here) and any slab of wood you want. It only took me a few hours to build once I had the bits and I have never built anything in my life.

Here is my desk: (random pic, was showing a friend how I was reorganising stuff).

I have a Varidesk. It’s very sturdy. The one I have is extremely heavy.

Really happy with my Uplift two years in. Thing is a tank, great design, lots of options, solid company. Maybe a bit more than a basic but I bought this as my second after my other brand crapped out with no replacement parts.

I ended up getting an adjustable height Husky work table from Home Depot. Half the price and twice as sturdy. The tabletop is a 1 inch thick slab of wood.

That's why I got rid of mine, TBH.

Too big/heavy.

Will be investing in replacing the whole desk instead.

I am in Japan so I got the top from Rakuten (its like amazon), but there must be some form of wood shop everywhere.

Stoked to see our Duo on the list! You’re definitely right about measuring your standing height beforehand— something that people don’t always account for is you might want to get a mat as well to make standing more comfortable. It usually doesn’t add a lot of height but it’s worth thinking about (and shopping for if your feet or back get fatigued from standing).

I am not sure of the best, but I made one with a mono price stand and Home Depot wood block, It has been pretty good for my use

Honestly? None. Standing desks are not better for your health like was claimed, and in fact can be worse. Set a timer every 30 minutes to stand and stretch, then sit back down. That is better for your health than a standing desk will ever be and it’s free.

I’ve had an uplift for a couple years - I have an L-shaped desk. 

I stand quite a bit during the day so I’ve loved having it. 

Flexispot is what I have. Works fine. Get an anti-fatigue mat for standing.

r/StandingDesk

Go on Facebook marketplace and search for flexispot. If you’re anywhere near a big city chances are there is a pallet wholesaler near you and flexispot closes out models like crazy. People around me (small city) buy pallets of tops and pallets of bases for $100-300 per pallet and each pallet has 15-20 units on them, and bases and tops all match up with flexispot (except for a few niche models). So they resell them as complete desks for $75-150 each and make a healthy profit. I got an E7 pro with black top for $100. Retail is around $700.

Vari desk

I have a Vari standing desk and it is great
