Deskhaus - Apex Pro

Quality and readymade arent a thing in the standing desk space in 2025. I did a deep dive after needing the same as you last year. I decided quality was more important than readymade so I went with the Deskhaus Apex Pro legs + wood countertop from Floor & Decor. Then spec'd out with Balolo desk accessories. The countertop took a couple days to stain and seal but super happy I did it this way. Here is my review: [https://www.reddit.com/r/StandingDesk/comments/1hg2oj6/deskhaus\_apex\_pro\_is\_it\_still\_worth\_it\_in\_2025/](https://www.reddit.com/r/StandingDesk/comments/1hg2oj6/deskhaus_apex_pro_is_it_still_worth_it_in_2025/)

Deskhaus Apex Pro! Perfect desk

Deskhaus apex pro. Pricey but absolutely SOLID. I’ve had mine for a year, using it every day and have had zero issues with it. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Deskhaus apex pro is what I have and it’s solid. I have dual monitors mounted on it as well as lights, mic, full size speakers, etc. it’s super stable and I love that it has 3 presets so I have one for sitting, one for standing, and one for my balance board.

I bought an Apex Pro from Deshaus and it’s fantastic. I watched a lot of YouTube videos and paid attention and I wobble when standing. My house is old and the floors aren’t level, I have dual monitors, speakers on stands, and clamps on my desk for mic, lights, etc so I knew I needed something stable and a solid wood top. I also have two dogs that are goofy, but not super aware of their surrounds and will run into things so a 4 leg desk was on my shopping list. This desk is rock solid, even when it’s not on a level floor and loaded up. Love it! It’s fast and quiet allowing me to switch between sitting and standing easily. Get yourself an anti fatigue floor mat too. I grabbed the ergodriven topo mat

https://desk.haus/products/apex-pro-2?variant=43592854470877 It goes down to less than 2 feet and over 4 feet. Sturdiest desk I’ve found. Doesn’t even wobble. Even my old desk on my hair pin legs wobbled more than this beast.

Return it and go with Deskhaus

I'm 6'6 and a pretty built dude. I lean on my Apex Pro like 3-4 hours a day with barely any monitor wiggle. Super solid desk. 

I have a Desk Haus Apex Pro. It's a standing desk. Super solid. Doesn't really wobble at all. The top I have on it is from ikea. It's solid wood but I don't think they carry it anymore. It's over 5 years old. Uplift was the other brand I was looking at. I think standing desks are the way to go. Even if you don't want to stand its super nice to be able to make small adjustments to the height of your desk. You can line it up perfectly with your armrests or raise it if you're watching a video and eating. I actually stand with mine quite a bit. But what's really nice is most allow you to use your own top. So you can have the exact size desk you want at the exact height you want. In the future if you need or want to change desk size you can just get a new top.

I have a Deskhaus frame and it's worked great. I'm a hobbyist woodworker and I [made my own top](https://www.reddit.com/r/StandingDesk/comments/vp1wfp/my_diy_standing_desk_made_with_solid_cherry_and/). But I've looked at the various pics of solid hardwood desk tops from Desk Haus on their social media, they look quality to me.

If budget was not an issue, I would go with a 4 leg. I only have personal experience Desk Haus's Apex and Vertex frames. Both of these are solid and do not move at standing height. I recommend them. I would have said any 4 leg would probably be fine, but I just found this video about the E7 plus and it moves a lot at standing height: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcE-Muz0zKY&t=516s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcE-Muz0zKY&t=516s) That kind of movement you typically get form a 2 leg. I'm actually surprised their 4 leg moves this much. Comparing the two frames the E7 Plus has only 2 cross beams, front and back. The Apex has 4, 2 around each leg. The feet on the E7 Plus go all the way to the edge of the foot. The Apex the foot is a bit wider, about 1/4" on each side. But it is like 2x the cost. Desk Haus does have their Peak Pro import shipping in March that's supposed to also be solid that's about 1.5x more. Uplift 4 leg frame seems similar (4 cross bars), but it is also about 2x. Uplift had an older version without a foot to connect the legs that was super unstable (Desk Haus has a video), but it looks like they might have addressed it? For me what sets Desk Haus apart is it is run by a small business. The owner is obsessed with stability and not cutting corners. The cost reflects that though, so it's not really budget friendly. But that is 4x your max budget. If you wanted to get closer, you could go for a 2 leg. The 2 leg frames have the same concerns with cutting corners to reduce cost. Any 2 leg is going to have some movement no matter how good they are.

I just want to point out that Desk Haus's Walnut tops are full length boards. I have an 80x36 bespoke Walnut from Desk Haus. It's amazing. What's your budget? If you consider Desk Haus and have the money, the Vertex Pro is a tank. Compared to the Apex, it is beefier. I have both - I use an Apex w/ a 60x30 Beech top as a work bench.

I’m 6ft and I have zero wobble. I have their Apex and Vertex desks. Both are rock solid. On Vertex I have a big ultrawide mounted and studio monitors. Peak has even better lateral (side to side) stability because of the wedge design on columns. Front to back, absolutely zero movement. Side to side, you have to really go out of hour way to push on it. I don’t trust FlexiSpot. They did their own comparison video and labeled a Desk Haus desk as their own. I’ve also heard their support is a bit of a nightmare. They have a forever sale to make you think you are getting a deal, but you are not. They use thinner gauge steel than Desk Haus. There is a big weight difference. I want to say their foot is 3lbs and Desk Haus is 9lbs. Might be remembering wrong, but I know it was a big diff. Chris the owner of Desk Haus does video comparisons, and FlexiSpot falls short. Chris is obsessed with quality and not cutting corners - it’s the reason he started Desk Haus. He has really pushed competitors to do better. He’s done follow-up comparisons of competitor desks and given them props for improving. I believe Uplift was one of the most recent ones. Because Desk Haus is a small American business that doesn’t ship oversees, Chris has been known to make recommendations of competitor desks available in Europe, for example. He is super knowledgeable, and knows who cheaps out and who doesn’t. All the above, many reasons why they come so highly recommended. I have 3 from them. My Vertex has an 80x36 heavy walnut top. I got an Apex with a 60x30 butcher block I bought from floor and decor. And I got one for my wife, 60x30 HPL (high pressure laminate). My brother has one as well. Something to keep in mind is they do have 2 leg desks to be competitive, but their main product is their 4 leg. No matter how good their 2 leg desks is, a 2 desk will have some movement and they are very upfront about that.

Skip secret lab, might as well put 2 sticks and hold the desk up with your hands. Between Deskhaus and Flexispot, your budget will give the answer. Both are great and what you look for is the stability in standing height, which is the most crucial part for a standing desk. Both of these are rock solid in sitting position. If you willing to spend more go for Deskhaus, if you want a solid value for money go for Flexispot E7plus. I would go only for 4 leg options since they are more stable.
