I’ve had an original uplift desk since 2017, been using it daily for work, raise and lower it at least once a day. Still performs like it did on day 1. I can’t recommend them enough.

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.

as others have said uplift desk is your friend. As a left handed mouse user, i feel your pain. Uplift desks however are great quality. Theres a reason you dont see many for resale on fb marketplace

You get what you pay for. I barely get any wobble on my Uplifts

Even getting an Uplift frame and supplying your own top would cut it in half.

I have an 80" C leg Uplift, and it is very sturdy. I can wobble it if I try, but I have my monitors on arms, and they do not move under normal use, even at the highest height.

I have a flexispot at work, and an uplift at home. If money is a concern go flexispot. If not, uplift dual motor.

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'

I have Uplift and I am very happy with them. Don't forget to budget for power distributors, USB hubs/chargers and Monitor arms (I use Ergotron XL). I always am short of USB ports lolz (too many esp32) I also put a small 10" rack on my desk to hold the USB hun and ethernet switch.

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 am 6'1 and I rarely use the desk at max height, but I have an Uplift desk that maxes out at 48.7" with a treadmill. If you are worried about it, you can get wheel casters for your desk which will add a couple of inches to the max height.

The Uplift desks can certainly hand the weight if you go with a solid wood desk. I am not sure about the particle board tops. I can sit on the top and the motors don't even seem to notice the weight https://preview.redd.it/jb13pddqwsig1.jpeg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5fe3bf2145cedb1a54b8cdae70b9227765f1590b

I would recommend getting a standing desk and spend a little extra if you can afford to. The cheap desks will end up being replaced soon. Also check the standing height of the desk you buy. I am 6' and there are some that dont go high enough to feel comfortable while standing. I got an Uplift desk for the height as I am also using a treadmill at my desk.

I have not owned a Jarvis table but I did look at one at a hermin miller showroom. The display that they had seemed to wobble a bit, but that could be because it was a display model. I ended up going with uplift as I could get more options and people said it doesn't wobble that much at full height. I really do enjoy my Uplift desk and I am glad that I spent the extra on it.

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.

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.
