Uplift Desk - V1 Height Adjustable Desk Frame (FRM200)

Most users are only going to have experience with 1-2 with either at home or what they use at their office. Ive had 2 uplift desks, one 2-leg 5-6fter v1 on laminate for 8 years and another 7ft 4 leg real wood and both frames have been perfect. The 5 ft has barely any wobble when standing and the real wood has no wobble at all. For the thousands I was spending, i just didnt like how I could not view the wood top before purchasing it. That could easily be a screenshot tied to a Qr code before they wrap it up to sit in their warehouse. Youll also want to look at the warranty. I dont think any youtubers have gone in depth on quality of motors.

I think Uplift have a heavy (4 leg) model. I have the two leg and very happy with it

I think the Ergotron XL arm fits. That's what I use on my 2 leg model, although parents poster is correct that the 4 leg model has a thicker top. I've found cheaper monitor mounts just sag so badly over time. For reference on my 2 leg I have 2 x 27" and 1 x 49" monitors as well as the laptop and PC + accessories and a 10" rack and I'm _at_ the limit of what the desk can handle. It's still pretty impressive load tho'

You could get the quality of a really good brand like Uplift by buying just the frame and then making the top from wood from the hardware store. A two leg frame from uplift is $470 and then spend $100-200 on making a top. Its the legs of the desk that matters the most. If you are afraid of making the top, you could see if IKEA has a table that would work for you

I had the 2 leg version and it worked fine. You just have to attach your speaker monitors to the desk so they rise with the desk for your listening position.

If you are using a free standing monitor base and only using the desk at the seated position, the 2 leg Uplift would be more than enough.

I custom built a desk from an UPLIFT frame/leg set, mostly because at 6'2" I was also not finding an affordable alternative that could go as low/high as I needed ergonomically. There are a few frames out there that work for taller people, but unless you are willing to spend +$5k then you might need to custom build it yourself. I spent maybe $2k total, for all desk hardware and computer accessories to complete a dual monitor (28" curved ea.) WFH setup. It is shockingly easy to spend $10k on a thoroughly ergonomic WFH setup for a tall person. The desk and monitor stand alone will cost more than you might expect lol

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.

Uplift. I got a 48"x30" and an 80"x30" to form an "L" shaped desk. However, I realized that I was not going to utilize most of the corner where the two tables "connect" and I instead moved the longer table to the opposite wall and put in a bookcase. I miss having the desks together, but the 30" depth of the tables made it so that I would not use the majority of that corner area. The long desk is used for projects such as architectural model-making (Masters of Architecture program) with space for all of the desired accoutrements and the smaller desk is for the computer monitors, speakers, mic, USB strip, some pens/pencils, and keyboard tray.

I have an Uplift desk I've used for nearly a decade now and I've been happy with it. They have some addon options for cable management and I got a little drawer attachment for my accessories.

I’m 5’3” on a good day (but have short legs) and have a desk from Uplift Desk - and it adjusts from about 23” to a little more than 48” - super flexible. On the chair front - go somewhere with a decent selection and try a bunch of of chairs out to see what works for you - even if you pick one up second hand. I really like the Herman Miller Mirra or Embody, but there are lots of options with a pretty good amount of height adjustment that should allow your feet to touch the floor.
