UPLIFT Desk Review: The Best Adjustable Sit Stand Desk Around

[@Brittany38122]

I used to work for UPLIFT, and it's truly the best place I ever worked. They took care of their staff (of over 200 now) like family. Loved the review--I splurged on their pheasantwood desk for my home setup before I left. :)

[@badseedtech]

Wow, you sure don't hear people say things like that much these days. That's refreshing. They've been fantastic to work WITH as well. I'm a big fan.

[@MTashed]

My man this was a great review. I have wanted one for a long time, and Uplift is actually working with my channel and sending me one. Knowing it is this kick ass has me even more excited

Out of all the KZbinrs I've watched over the years your production quality surpasses them all. Amazing audio, lighting, aesthetically pleasing etc. Probably some of the most genuine reviews that I can trust when I'm looking to buy a quality product. So thank you!

[@chadlittlefield7969]

This is actually the best review I've ever watched on KZbin. Goooooood work!

[@Brian.M]

Uplift desk is a great option for sure. I did MONTHS of research before going with them. Felt like they offered the most with warranty, price, customization, build quality, and positive independent reviews. Been using mine for about 1.5 years now and I still love it. They also have great customer service. I contacted them with very detailed and specific questions and they had no problem answering. You could tell they REALLY know their product. Plus they're based in Texas.

[@LinksTune]

This is easily the most real and best composed desk review I’ve ever seen. Brb, buying one

[@ccarpenter2k]

At no point can you even see the desk lol This is a terrible video. The talking is cool but at no point did he show the entire layout to see if you would even want if. What if the cables on top are still junk? What if there is a lack of depth? What if the keyboard is too close to the monitors ? None of this you can view. Where are the grommets located exactly? How are the wires ran down? So many questions

[@monster5608]

I'm not sure about you all, but I'm super pumped I found this channel! He makes it so interesting that I watch videos about products I'll never even buy. Definitely thinking about this one though!

[@mu2freighter]

This is helpful beyond belief! I'm disabled, in a power wheelchair with just one hand working, so the ability to precisely set the height is essential just in general. Sometimes I want to scoot in, but the wheelchair's controller sits a couple of inches higher than the armrests, so being able to raise the desk just above that is incredibly valuable. Just as useful is the ability to raise the desk up so high that I can drive myself in under it to adjust cables, perhaps also reach the PC's ports if I go with the underside tower holder for the single gaming PC I plan to use. Win, win, win. Last, I was originally planning to spring for the 4-leg version of the desk to avoid any wobbling, in the same 72X30 size you use here. After seeing the way you specifically addressed this concern in your video, though, I'm seriously reconsidering this. Not only would it save a bunch of complexity and clutter, especially at the outer corner where I'll be frequently moving around in my wheelchair, but being in the sorry shape I am I'm going to have to enlist some friends to assemble and set up the desk...and this iteration is _far_ less heavy and clumsy to set up, so it shouldn't be a completely miserable experience for my friends helping me. Thanks so much for making this vid!

[@DogHairDontCare]

Solid review. What's most impressive with this desk per spec is that not only does it support the tall guys like you, but it actually goes low enough for proper ergonomic height for sitting for shorter people. That means this desk will work most people. I originally passed this desk up due to cost compared to competitors; however, after looking at height ranges, this is literally the only desk that will work for me. It's better to know that my only option is highest quality than to know that my only option is the cheap one that might suck. Guess it'll be my investment of the year.

[@rahjahlamonstah2760]

Thank you for this! I've been considering an Uplift for 2 months and I'm so glad I saw this before purchasing. Funny thing too I almost bought the flexispot then I saw your review. I'm a fan for life

Had been researching adjustable desks for a couple weeks for my new WFH Dream job before I found your review. You convinced to go with Uplift Desk V2 and F YEAH! This thing so awesome! My tight space limited me to a 48" x 24" top and it's still a million times better than my previous set up. Thanks again for the honesty.

[@aslamc9288]

I was looking at the FlexiSpot desk, checked out this review, and now I’m really considering getting an Uplift. Thanks for this great review!

[@jrbrayjr2003]

I bought the V2 Commercial 4-Leg Uplift desk and I love it. Like a lot of people these days, my company went all remote so I had to use my home office 100% of the time. My back was killing me after the first month of sitting at a sit-down desk, so I decided to get a standing desk. I did some research and asked some of my professional colleagues and they recommended Uplift. I ordered the desk and the parts arrived a month later. My sons and I put it together and it's been great. It supports my large monitor and provides plenty of desk space. I got the reclaimed wood tabletop. I highly recommend this desk.

[@andrewbell2739]

Really appreciate this comment, James. If you see this - which I really hope you do lol - would you say it's more stable than their commercial C frame with a laminate top? I understand that you probably have never had that setup in front of you, but I was wondering how stable the 4 leg setup compared to the two legged commercial frame. Having a hard time (to say the least) stomaching a $1200 setup. Also, what's your setup? Do you have a monitor mounted to the desk? Or there any heavy things on-top of the desk itself? Would really appreciate your input!!

[@FrederickDunn]

All great stuff!!! I just ordered the bare bones legs and frame system, right now, they offered the control panel and monitor holder FREE as a holiday incentive pack. I'll be building my own tabletop custom for what I do in the studio. Your video helped bring it all together and show the great potential the table has.. I also got the wheels as I'm using it for product photography and giving seminars. Super solid looking and I hadn't considered the height.. wow! Great job and I like your studio setting!!! Thumbs up! All the best. 300 lb lift capacity?! YES PLEASE!!!

[@badseedtech]

Nice man, thanks for the comment. I long for the day when I can have one for my main desk and a rolling unit as a photo table. Would make studio life SO much easier.

Thanks for this review, I've been digging into whether or not an Uplift desk is the right move for me and my illustration work and this video helped significantly.

I have a glass desk and usually don't sit in silence so didn't take the time to notice the wobbling sound while typing. Googled "glass desk for computer" and saw images of what could potentially be my ticking time bomb of a desk, so long story short I looked through trying to find a desk like this that offers everything without jumping up $200+ per attachment like other companies and this seems perfect! If their prices on their website didn't sell me already, your video definitely did, great quality. I'll be ordering one in the next day for sure!

[@randyalanjones]

Cobra Kai you bought the one with the crossbar and the thicker legs. It only goes up to 48.7 inches vs the one without the crossbar that goes up to like 50.5. The question is do you see any movement side to side at all raised to the top?

[@andrewbell2739]

Cobra Kai, how are you liking the desk? I'm considering the commercial c-frame for my new setup and want to make sure it holds up and resists any bit of shaking at peak heights. Also, does the bar takeaway form leg real-estate under the desk? In other words, are you comfortable and does the bar get in the way of anything? All these things concern me GREATLY at a $1000+ price point.

[@jackattack2060]

@@andrewbell2739 I am loving it, ensure if you get solid wood, that any pressure pads that you put on it will absorb the clear coating. i.e. monitor pads, keyboard pads. Ensure you ask how to avoid it before you purchase. I have some areas that will need to be redone eventually, nothing terrible I'm just OCD.

Jon, how you liking the setup? Trying to get as much feedback from everyone as possible regarding the durability, size and frame. Considering the 4-legged or commercial C-frame myself. Spending $1000+ on an unreliable desk is flat out disturbing. Looking at a 72-80" white laminate setup or just getting the frame with a cheap butcher block that's heavy duty and will weigh down the frame more and hopefully resist shake.

[@ta6491]

Consider mentioning that this is a sponsored review upfront rather than at the end of the video. I know you mention you would've purchased it all the same, but as a review it makes a difference knowing whether there's any bias involved from the start. It seems deceptive mentioning it as an after thought. That said, thank you for the in-depth review.

[@badseedtech]

Thanks for the feedback. Despite not being financially compensated for the review (which is what constitutes a "sponsored review"), I can see how one could assume there is bias there - when, in fact, there is not. Receiving a free product in no way changes how I evaluate and present a product. Nonetheless, to err on the side of caution, I have since started mentioning this at the top of my reviews. I'm sure you didn't intend to be insulting, just as I didn't intend to be deceptive.

Great review! I have been looking at this desk for a week on the website and trying to decide what to get. First I was planning to get the commercial frame that has the cross support bar so it wouldn't wobble like so many desks seem to at standing height, however, after several reviews I watched (and all the stuff on your desk for weight!!!), it seems the reg frame is pretty stable thanks to the corner wedge on the top part of the frame. That would be the only thing I think you missed mentioning. Really happy to see the cord management options they offer because I wasn't sure which to get and most reviewers seem to have got the basic only or bought their own off Amazon. Great job and thanks for the info!

Dude, same. The price just really makes me hesitant on pulling the trigger. Not being able to see it in person and understand how stable the desk is at standing height bugs the piss out of me.

awesome review. looking at getting one within the month, this sold it for me. By chance could you show some video of the wobble front to back at your usage height? i havnt seen a video worth a damn showing that off yet for any of the desks. Also the CPU holder, how does it work? how does it put pressure against the CPU to keep it from rocking and falling out?

[@badseedtech]

Thanks man. I'll try to get some footage. Would have included it in the video but the challenge is that my floors are laminate over concrete - its a repurposed warehouse space form the 30s and the floors are REALLY uneven. It takes a lot to balance this desk on this surface and if its moved even slightly has to be readjusted. I didn't feel it did it justice. Expect a little wobble...maybe a 1/4" in either direction if you really get after it. I'm testing a model from a competitor right now and this desk performs much better in that regard. As for the CPU holder, I'm afraid I can't answer that one for you as I opted to not go with it. Still really impressed with the unit overall though. I've really embraced the sit/stand function.

[@alanismajere]

@@badseedtech Appreciate the reply, i didnt realize it was that uneven lol, now i get why you didnt really do a test for that purpose. glad to hear its better than some competition your checking out.
