2-Leg V2 Standing Desk

I have an Uplift V2 Commercial C frame since early 2020. It’s a solid desk and still going strong. I’m not sure what the V3 changes but it looks like it doesn’t have the lower crossmember. That may be a plus if you’re mounting a PC under there, but I love using it to put up my legs.

I got the Uplift and it’s been great, no complaints.

In my opinion, single motor desks are more prone to issues as they have to have some sort of differential mechanism for the side without a motor. My four legged Uplift has four motors and it’s so quiet and smooth. BTW, a two legged Uplift v2 desk has a 355 lb weight capacity and a four legged one supports 535 lbs.

After doing a lot of research which included lots of great info from the smart people in this sub I set my requirements; at least a 60x30 hardwood desktop for durability and four legs for stability. I’m very fortunate that I didn’t have to scrimp on price but also didn’t want to spend more than I had to. I was planning buying a Flexispot four leg base, ~$650 on sale and buy a 60x30 butcherblock countertop from Home Depot for $150. The countertop would require finish sanding and some sort of finish; I was planning on using a nice oil that I liked. So roughly $800 and a little extra work on top of assembly. I started checking out on eBay, Facebook Marketplace and other secondary markets. After a couple of weeks I bought a slightly used Uplift desk, one of the best brands on the market that matched my requirements exactly. Four legs (and four motors ) and a 60x30 1.5” thick solid hardwood desktop. This thing is as stable as a regular desk or a dining room table. This exact desk sells for $4800 new, I got it for $650 less than 20 miles from my house. The only down side was the desk weighed approximately 350 pounds so I paid a couple of strong guys a few bucks to lug it out of our van and upstairs to my office.

Don't ignore the secondary market. Yesterday I just bought a 1.5 year old four legged Uplift desk with a 1.75" inch thick 60x30 inch solid wood desktop (approx $2450 new) for $650 from Facebook Marketplace

Buy a quality desk with a sufficient weight bearing capacity and you’ll have no problem. My Uplift desk will support approximately 500 pounds. A cheap desk might support only 150 pounds. You get what you play for.

I'm using an [Uplift Standing Desk V2](https://www.upliftdesk.com/2-leg-standing-desk/?4275=4865&4276=4654&4279=3821&27944=20608&4280=11390&10958=8704&14905=11667) with the C frame. When I got it they were still reasonably priced, but I'd say if it's in budget they make good stuff. I recently helped a friend with their [Desky](https://desky.com/) and the quality seemed really good and their customer service team was really good. They were also one of the few that could get a L shaped desk with a low enough setting for her shorter seated height. Both Uplift and Desky also were some of the few that hard a deep enough desktop, 24in deep seems to be pretty standard but we both wanted 30in. Whichever desk you end up with, I'd recommend splurging on a control pod that has preset one touch memory options. Having to hold the button down, even on a preset, for the entire time the desk is in motion gets wearisome. It sounds trivial (and yeah it kinda is), but if you're constantly changing the height of the desktop it will be something you have to deal with each and every time. My work supplied desk is like that and it drives me nuts. I can't say I use the standing desk at home or in the office for standing as much as I do seated, tho it does get moved in to that position from time to time. Really my main reason was getting it so that my seat height was correct for me. I always found desk heights to either be a too high or too low situation and being able to customize the height to a just right level was a god send. After having to get carpal surgery on both wrists, I really started paying a lot more attention to ergonomics and do not regret the cost of a proper desk, chair, monitor arms and keyboard one bit after the fact.

I love my uplift standard shaped desk, but they can get very pricey for the L shaped. I'd take a look at Desky as well as the others. Helped a friend get an L shaped from them and only have positive things to say about the experience.

Love me a good standing desk. When I was WFH I had/have a Uplift, and thankfully got a similar sized standing desk in the on prem office as well. If you're looking for a standing L Shaped desk, I'd look at Desky. They're a lot less expensive for their L shaped (or at least were last I checked) and good quality. Between the height adjustment of the desk and getting monitors up on arms, my comfort levels are so much better.

Not sure what you’re worried about with uplift, they have a great reputation. I’ve had their commercial C desk for years. With v3 all of their desks go down extra low. I would like another one, but I don’t want to pay that much so I’ve been looking at what else I might be able to get or see if I could find one used.

I have a two leg Uplift with a crossbar, and I’ve never noticed any wobble. They are great desks!

I am 5’4” and I have the Uplift C2 Commercial Frame and it goes low enough for me. The specs say it will go down to 21”

I have a dual monitor setup with two laptops on it and it is stable enough for me. I am standing at it right now typing and I do not notice any wobble on my screens. I do see a little vibration on my laptop screen as that is on a monitor arm. For normal use I find it to be good. It will move if I lean on it or push it but any two leg is going to do that.
