I spent a lot of time looking for a standing desk to use for my art studio and I wanted to report back here in case other artists are looking for this exact need. I needed something that had ZERO wobble at all heights. After a lot of research I chose the Uplift 4 Leg standing desk and it is amazing! I chose the desktop with NO cup holder/wire holes - not all desktops come in that option,but the bamboo does and it is great for a smooth, uninterrupted drawing/work surface. I got mine on wheels, so i can move it around in my studio and they are smooth and also lock if you need to. The customer service was EXCELLENT! They have a real human who answers and they were fabulous helping me correct a mistake \*I\* made on my order. The desk was easy to assemble - though I wouldn't personally know because I used their task rabbit pre-made task to have it assembled for $99. I am so happy with this desk and I wanted to shout out this solution for artists and a really great company (in my experience) in case I can help others shorten their research time or allay any doubts about the product!

i just got the uplift 4 leg commercial style frame. 72x30 with walnut butcher block top. i use a wacom cintiq to produce artwork, so i'm super sensitive to any wobble or instability. this desk is absolutely rock solid. very heavy duty (and slightly unwieldy to assemble at times), but so well made. but the biggest factor is the customer service of uplift. they were super helpful and responsive with all my questions before i purchased. they also promised that it would be delivered by my small window of availability to receive it. and they totally came through. so all in all, a great and confident purchase. little nits: \- the frame is so wide underneath the table top, that there's very little room for any (clamp on) mounting items. ie: modesty panels, even my ergo arm was a bit touch and go. i'm able to make it work. i hear the upcoming 4 leg v3 will address this, but i could not wait with my work schedule. \- there are a lot of cables for all the legs. but with some cable management brackets, i was able to hide them all away still with good range of movement for the variable heights. side note: i used my black friday discount to pay for the take away of my previous standing desk. hope this helps!

i just got uplift 30x70 4 legged desk. it is on the pricier side, but you may not need it as big (it will reduce the cost a bit). but the 4 legs makes it absolutely rock solid. and the customer service was insanely knowledgeable, and helped out greatly! i use a wacom cintiq on it, and i cannot have it moving at all, and it certainly does not. with memory settings, i transition from standing to sitting all day long. really love it! here's the base system you can customize to your liking: [https://www.upliftdesk.com/uplift-4-leg-standing-desk-v2-v2-commercial/?2014=4237&2154=2935&2931=3821&3371=3922&2017=11390&10977=8708&14927=11667](https://www.upliftdesk.com/uplift-4-leg-standing-desk-v2-v2-commercial/?2014=4237&2154=2935&2931=3821&3371=3922&2017=11390&10977=8708&14927=11667) good luck!

Uplift Desk is having a sale until December 2 that they call the "Best Sale of the Year". Code BFCM saves up to $670. I have their V2 two-leg desk and am very satisfied with it.

I was mistaken. I actually have the V2 **4**\-leg desk -- not the 2-leg one. As you would expect for a 4-leg desk, it is rock-solid when fully raised. This is with a 60" X 36" X 1.75" butcher block top.

I got a Swaner Hardwood 60"X36"X1.75" maple butcher block countertop from Home Depot to use with a V2 4-leg Uplift desk. It has a polyurethane finish which has held up very well and eased corners. It is very heavy but the desk is quite stable even when raised to maximum height. They also sell finished 48"X25" countertops in both 1.5" and 1.75" thickness. All these countertops are lighter in color than they appear on the website. You would need to drill holes to mount the top to the desk but Uplift supplies easy to understand instructions. I had to buy a screwdriver bit extender for final assembly -- the leg hardware interfered with the body of the drill.

Check out Uplift. My four legged v2 desk with a 60x30 hardwood desktop, although not L-shaped, has a 535 lb weight capacity. Be aware, Uplift is not a budget desk by any measure but the quality is beyond compare. You’ll only have to buy once.

I used an electric Varidesk tabletop model at work for several years before I retired. I hated it as it was way too high when I sat but I used a footstool. I changed positions multiple times per day as I have degenerative arthritis and sciatica and it helped. After I retired I became way too sedentary so I decided to buy an adjustable desk. I did a lot of research and decided the stability of a four leg desk was importantly to me as well as a hardwood top for durability. I’m very fortunate in that I could buy whatever I wanted but I tend to prefer a bargain. I decided to buy a FlexiSpot four legged base and a butcherblock countertop. While I was doing my research I was also looking for a deal on Facebook Marketplace and within a couple of weeks I ended up buying a like new Uplift four legged base with a 60x30 hardwood maple desktop which sells for $4450 new for $650 less than 20 miles from my house. The FlexiSpot and butcherblock world have been about $200 more than that. I’m really happy and change positions daily on days when I’m at my desk a lot. BTW, I’ve since read that people report the FlexiSpot 7 two legged desk and the Uplift v2 and v3 two legged desks are are very stable. I do not recommend buying a manual crack desk add that would get old very and I doubt you’d change positions much.

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.

Deskhaus Peak Pro Flexispot E7 Plus Max Uplift V2 **Standard** Four Leg. I think stability difference is unmeasurable between the options. The list isn't in any particular order.

I have the 4 leg V2. I figured buy once and cry once with this much equipment... I'm not sure on the weight. Monitors should be about 35-40 lbs. PC maybe 20? It's nothing unusual. This is my monitor stand, no weight listed: Hex 23" to 32" Monitor Desk Mount – VIVO - desk solutions, screen mounting, and more https://share.google/t8jPwAuEUzsIcpVZq All the misc junk on my desk, maybe an occasional cat? It certainly never struggles, but going from sitting to standing always gives the H01 code, and it will not move again for ~20 minutes.
