V1 Height Adjustable Desk Frame (FRM200)

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.

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.

To follow up i have laminate tops. Theyre study, and ive no issues with either the flexispot or uplift laminate tops

I got an uplift desk frame, and bought my own top (ikea butcher block). Works great for me and my home office set up.

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

You could go the way I went by getting an Uplift frame for $550 to $799, and then get a top made locally for $250ish. For the three monitors Uplift has a three display arm. I have a 34in ultrawide and 2 24 in monitors on a single arm. I had posted my setup here https://www.reddit.com/r/StandingDesk/s/XBQlRhOVeg

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.
