Uplift Desk - UPLIFT Standing Desk, 4-Leg (V2 Frame)

I bought an Uplift and can’t recommend it enough. I did the premium walnut top and it’s definitely a BIFL purchase as it’s very sturdy! I try to stand for a minimum of 1hr in the morning and afternoon; it’s worked wonders for my bad knee.

I have the UpLift all Walnut slab desk. We love it, it’s beautiful and we get compliments on it constantly. We got the dual arm for monitors and a few other bells and whistles. No misses at all with the motor, we have had it over a year. Will be getting another when we move and need a second desk in the office.

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 was at the Uplift showroom a couple of weeks ago and the 4-leg frame was absolutely rock solid. Like I put my entire weight on it trying to move it and it wouldn’t even register. All 2-leg versions they had there had some slight wobble fully extended. It was not too bad but it depends on your sensibility. To me it was too much and will be getting the 4-leg, others I was with are getting the 2-leg.

I've got the uplift 4 leg v(latest 2 maybe) in the 80x30 and it's rock solid. Before that I was using an ikea desk which was just flat table top on two short sets of big drawers, literally can't get more stable, and I would say both are about equally wobbly (which is practically zero).

I think there are nuances when it comes to what people refer to as stability. Deskhaus is famous for the videos of pushing desks around at various heights and you can see them bounce around. I think at this point in the standing desk game the designs are so similar you may really not notice a difference between the 3 (i have the uplift 4 leg with connected feet) in that regard. I think rigidity is also important when it comes to something like monitor wobble. I had a thin 1 inch rubber wood which I hated because it was neither thick or rigid enough to absorb day to day actions. For example I could feel typing vibrations thru the rest of the desk which obviously can make monitor wobble more noticeable. This went away when I ended up swapping for a 1.75 inch walnut desktop. Point being I'd focus more on trying to get a thicker > 1.5 inch hardwood desktop. I think the added rigidity will help with monitor wobble.

I ended up getting the one from Uplift. 72x20 Walnut for 800. Haven't had to do any upkeep its kind of up to you. I used to care more and would put some oil on it periodically, haven't done that for years tho lol.

Uplift owner here with 6 monitors. It works.

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.

I think Uplift would fit with almost all your criteria if you wanted to do minimal DIY stuff. Motorized with programmable presets 48" width Considered to have good stability for a 2 legged desk. Available in C frame with or without a crossbar. The crossbar is for side to side stability, something not really needed for most desk use cases. Uplift states that the standard V2 with wedges has equivalent side to side stability as their desk with the crossbar. The crossbar version is mainly to maintain side to side stability with a lower minimum height. Standard desk shape with a good height range. Large amount of desktop options that are predrilled. It comes with a cable management tray that has an adhesive and two screws. Drilling/screwing accessories is really not as difficult as it may seem but with the amount of stuff you have, you probably don't even need a cable management tray. Using the supplied sticky back cable tie mounts and some zip ties, you can easily use the frame of the desk itself to manage your cables. If you don't like that, there are some lighter/smaller cable management raceways that can be attached using adhesive like this https://www.amazon.com/6X15-7in-Management-Install-Self-Adhesive-Organizer/dp/B07Q8QN5CB?th=1. They have tons of accessories which makes it a one stop shop, but you can find better deals for most of them from other places like Amazon. Grommet holes are more of a personal preference but remember that grommet holes can be added but cannot be removed or moved. Just one power strip is all that you need but if you wanted to mount it to the desk without drilling, they do have power strips that mount to the frame. Most available monitor arms clamp onto the back or have the option to switch for grommet mount, so there is no issue with adding those later.

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

If the OP does go with this recommendation, the 4 leg model is very large in depth and may not work with a monitor arm clamp without modifying the desk. They may need to remove an adjustable crossbar (shouldn't affect stability per Uplift) or add a block to help with clamping onto the frame.

I was referring to the distance from the front to back of the desk. The frame itself is a little over 25" in depth, so with a 30" depth desktop, there is only about 2.5" of space from the edge of the desk to the frame. Clamps like the Ergotron LX need around 3" of space to clamp, so the desk would have to be modified in some way to get that 3" clamp to fit the 2.5" space.

Yep it is big enough to clamp on the frame but the circle piece of the clamp wouldn't be centered on the frame and the frame isn't thick enough for full contact of the clamp. They would need something like the block of wood I mentioned to have full secure contact, especially if it is holding 4 monitors. Easiest option would be to remove the adjustable cross support but some people have complained about needing to remove a piece to make monitor arms work.The grommet mount would definitely be an option but not everyone likes a grommet mount.

The Uplift V2 and V2 Commercial have additional features to increase the side to side stability (wedges on the column for the V2 and a crossbar for the V2 Commercial). The V3 supposedly has similar/better stability to the v2 without the wedges. The Uplift also has accessories that will bolt directly to the frame, which may interest those who don't want to or can't mount things to the desktop.

Uplift hands down. Recently got their longest desk with a Pheasantwood top. It not only looks great but is very sturdy and good room. I have a 43 in curved Dell Ultrasharp with a 36 in LG with room for a docking station and other small stuff. Would highly recommend their cable sleeve to hide the cables. Don't bother shopping elsewhere. Oh and great customer service too.

I got an oak solid wood desk from uplift, it has held up great for ~4 years

My mistake - it was "Natural Ash" and it doesn't look like it's offered anymore.
