I Picked The Best Standing Desk at EVERY Price

[@stevengiallourakis5816]

I liked this video, however I would have appreciated some of the negatives about the desks. What are the downsides of buying a cheaper desk? Is it unstable? Are the materials generally cheaper? Things like this would provide a more full picture of each of these desks.

[@Cruzan9]

Agreed.

[@zachall9539]

Yeah this was just a bunch of information that’s available on the website. No practical information on how the desks perform in an everyday setting

[@swlak516]

This video exists purely to fish for commission off of selling all these different desks to you

[@zachall9539]

@@swlak516For what it’s worth, I did a ton of research and landed on Uplift. If there’s an Uplift showroom in your area, I’d highly recommend going in to see them in person. Goin in definitely changed several of my options and I actually ended up spending less money than I was going to on a desk that’s better fitted for me

Interesting that you didn't consider Deskhaus Apex pro

I rather pay extra $$$ for the Vertex Pro.

[@btodtv]

It is hard for me to recommend a product like that. For that amount of money, customer service and warranty support are extremely important. All of the brands/products I recommended are from established companies, with full support staff. Having a single individual who does everything in the business is far too risky for me to confidently tell our audience that is the best pick for this big of an investment -GK

[@motorvor77]

@@btodtv That's entirely fair. I look at it as more of a trade off between supporting local and knowing I'm getting a solid product from the get go versus a big brand with less attention to quality larger markups, despite maybe being more comfortable with an larger company.

[@btodtv]

I disagree. Uplift offers very similar Jiecang frame quality and the exact same internal components (gears, motors, control box, etc.) for the same price, but offers better support today and in 10 years. They are significantly smaller in size than Herman Miller and Steelcase as well. So you're still supporting a privately owned local company, that has 20 years experience providing service to customers who invest $1000+ into products purchased through their store -GK

[@motorvor77]

@@btodtv For the two leg version, sure I can understand how Uplift may make more sense. But you're claiming the best standing desk at each price point and none of the higher price points are a 4-legged desk. I would imagine a 4-legged desk would be more solid than a 2-legged, ie the Apex Pro. You've reviewed lots of other far less notable desk brands, just seems odds to not review Deskhaus at this point, you can even include the caveats you mentioned above.

[@philreasoner7922]

I bought two Jarvis frames about a year ago and built custom desk tops in my shop - so far I've been incredibly happy with them! For the price point, I'm very glad I chose that vendor.

[@btodtv]

Thanks for sharing. Exactly what I recommend doing with that frame :) What did you make the top out of? They have definitely improved the frame (hopefully because of all of our content mentioning stability and wedge systems) and obviously have a solid team backing the product -GK

There are some I've come across that I really like but didn't make this list. I will continue researching. There are maybe one or two from this list I may consider. That said, I cannot think of any scenario where I would pay $1500 much less $7000 for a desk. Utter madness...IMO.

[@SpressoMan]

4:18 Oof, that's a tough one. I don't disagree with your choice; but at $1000, I'd have to seriously consider the Flexispot Odin. I really love my FS E7; and a four-leg option would be epic.

[@zy4620]

Why not review Desk Haus? Because they wouldn't give you a free review unit?

[@btodtv]

Because we don’t trust the company and would never recommend them. To date I have bought every standing desk we have reviewed or ranked. If you want a product that is more stable, has customer service and won’t get into extremely unprofessional fights online with their customers, go to uplift. -Greg

[@zy4620]

why do you not trust them? Is their product not worth the trust and the bucks you pay? Did they not deliver on time? Were they not able to keep production?@@btodtv

[@btodtv]

I don’t have a problem with the product. I have a problem with who is backing it. Don’t you find it odd they can’t reveal the companies that produce their surfaces or frames? Or that they create posts to bash their own customers? Maybe you should spend some more time looking into the brand in Reddit. And not just the astroturfing or upvoting they do with their multiple accounts. Personally, I don’t care what company you go with. But you asked why we won’t review it. The simple truth is you can buy an Uplift Desk that uses the same internal components with better stability, a warranty that is more likely to be covered in the long run for the same price. And as a bonus they act like a real business and treat their customers with respect. -Greg

[@Kakuz98]

Why do you review only Flexispot EC1? E7 and E7H are probably among the greatest desk deals. Also, the E7 Pro which is their high end product competes with the Fully Jarvis (outperforming it in several aspects according to a lot of people)
