Autonomous - SmartDesk Levitate

I am looking at the exact same options and got to try out a friend’s Levitate 1 for a little while. It does seem pretty sturdy when raised higher and the desktop is really solid. It’s thick and the contoured edge feels great when resting my arms there. It’s a nice touch. I also like the cable management system that folds up so you don’t have to see that all the time. My friend said it was a bit of a pain to put together but he really likes it overall and I think they made the 2 a little easier to construct. I prefer darker tones and a slightly larger desk so I am considering buying a LiftSync Quad frame (63”x32”), having a local woodworker craft a walnut top, and buying the Humanscale NeatTech Leather cable manager. The eFloat Quattro is my top choice because of larger size, color and material options, and cable channel but it’s way too expensive for me to justify without seeing it in person. Plus, I haven’t been able to find any in-depth reviews of it anywhere. If you remember, let me know which one you go with!

I got 1 from Autonomous about 12 years ago. Still going strong. I bought the stand mechanism with 2 motors and put a butcher block top on it just like another user did.

I'm 5'4" and have a Autonomous desk. It only goes down to 26" which is still a bit too high for me. I keep it down at 26" and have my chair adjusted to match the desk, and then use a Human Scale footrest to get my feet back up to where they should be.

The seat pan is a good depth for my legs and the arm rests adjust to where I need them as well.

I have had an autonomous for the past 4 years and love it

I’d prefer the Autonomous desk, pretty solid and priced around $500. No need to spend $800–$1k on a desk.

I got one shipped to me from Autonomous a few years ago. I mostly sit at it now but I have no complaints.

I love mine from Autonomus!

I've had a flexispot and autonomous. I didn't like the surface of the autonomous so when it got damaged I replaced with the flexispot legs and put some real wood on top. Working fantastic.

Use autonomous too, solid but I think modular desk from Dezctop for cleaner cable management and vertical storage will make it easier to use in the long term.

I've had an Autonomous brand desk for four years and love the frame itself but the desktop edge doesn't hold up well. So I'd definitely recommend the frame but if you go with their desktops plan on using some type of edge protection.
