Apex - Two Leg

I've had the Apex 2 leg for about 6 years now, daily ups and down, it's solid. I put on my own butcher block. I've had to reset the computer 2 or 3 times when it froze, but it's never collapsed.

Love my deskhaus

For 36" depth, you'll need to go the custom route, look for local woodworkers. For the frame, L frames should be fine but if you wanted to make sure it doesn't tip from the extra depth, Deskhaus's L frame can come in different foot sizes to accommodate different depth desktops but it has 6 legs so it is pricey. They do have a bespoke service, so they might be able to make it cheaper by going down to 3 legs but still have feet appropriate for your depth.

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

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.

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.

Desk Haus by a mile. With a high budget and the concerns you have, I would talk to them about your needs. Maybe go Bespoke. The owner Chris is amazing. US based, small business. Doesn't cut corners. Their standard 4 leg options are rock solid, less than $1300 on Apex with HPL. Peak is less because frame/steel is import. Apex frame is made in Michigan. I have 3 desks from them. My solid walnut 80x36 with Vertex frame cost me just over $3k with Bosch motors. My other two are Apex. Apex motors are better, metal internals vs Bosch has some plastic. Vertex frame is fixed length and beefier though. They don't sell Vertex on site anymore. Apex/Peak is adjustable width and are still very good. Minor lateral movement (side to side) between Apex vs Peak/Vertex (better). You really have to push. Front to back, zero movement. Avoid 2 leg options. Desk Haus has 2 leg options and they are good, but they don't recommend them. They carry 2 leg to be competitive. They highly recommend 4 leg over 2.
