Deskhaus - Apex - Two Leg

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 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’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.

Deskhaus. Substantially better than Uplift / Flexispot.

Deskhaus. You won't regret it.

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 got mine from deskhaus. It’s very sturdy.
