Deskhaus - Apex Pro Max

Our Peak series has wedges for lateral stability. I should have mentioned the Apex Pro Max too but thats almost double the price so unless you want a rock....it's hard to justify. https://preview.redd.it/5tndrmv5hegg1.jpeg?width=450&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f71e53aefb8419ee1967ec5f84d52119de3de062

I've posted this before, but huge fan of desk.haus.. it's been the sturdiest desk I've found. I have their apex pro max with a live edge walnut top.. this thing does not budge at max height. https://preview.redd.it/bvcscclks7if1.jpeg?width=2992&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1718d9c0c528b38f5236e67bd244bb8d5d9f5699

I did like two weeks of research on standing desks last year. If you want the best (in the US) look at [DeskHaus](https://desk.haus). Get a 4-leg model (Apex Pro for me). Buy once. Cry once. I am not affiliated in the slightest.

I've had my desk haus apex pro for 1.5 years now and I'm very happy with it. It's pricy (I only bought the legs and bought a separate butcher block top). But, it's super stable -- built like a tank. The 20 year warranty is also great for the peace of mind. I have a 2 monitor set up (with ergotron arms) as well plus a few electronics mounted under the desk. I use it every day and the desk is spacious and doesn't wobble. Definitely worth the money for me.

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

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’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.

I had some good responses with Deskhaus, Flexispot, and Uplift. Didn't really contact anybody else.

I think the Desky would be worth it over the one on Wayfair. The Wayfair one's desktop is in three pieces, so you will have two joints down the depth of the desk. Warranty is a good indicator of the company's faith in their product, so I would go with the longer warranty. Their site doesn't show that the 10 year warranty is something you would purchase like an extended warranty, so it should come with your purchase of the desk. I have a Deskhaus desk that I am very happy with and have used an Uplift desk that was also great. I believe Desky's desk is also manufactured by the same company, Jiecang, except the Deskhaus Apex is manufactured in their US factory. Uplift would be a good one stop shop for you. They just came out with their v3 but I don't know how it compares to their v2. Deskhaus has their Peak series that is comparable to the Uplift v2, but I don't know if you are willing to wait for it to come back to stock. The Deskhaus Apex is a great desk and I love it, but I don't see it's worth anymore compared to the Peak unless you really want something American made.

I’ve been using a DeskHaus frame and piece of butcher block countertop for about 5 years now. Frame still works flawlessly. You’ll need some DIY experience to save money on some countertop and finish it yourself, but that’s by far your cheapest option for a large top with solid wood. Edit: Sorry I read your post wrong. Last I checked I think Uplift had decent prices on laminate tops in many sizes.

I would buy Deskhaus. I have mine and is super stable and does its job. When I had an issue (day 1, bad part), it was resolved via overnight shipping.
