Yes, not only do we construct our desktops with high-quality European E1-level adhesives, we seal them all with a UV-cured protective coating that doesn't off-gas or emit VOCs.
Take a look at the Proper Care & Use of your UPLIFT Desktop page.
If the air in your area is especially dry, your wood desktop could be at increased risk of cracking and splitting. Wood contracts in very dry environments, leaving it vulnerable to cracking and warping. If you live in a very dry environment (Las Vegas, Denver, Salt Lake City, etc) and your desktop does crack, contact us so we can send you a repair kit to fill the affected areas. Simply sending you a replacement desktop will likely result in the same cracking due to the dry environment. See the solid wood desktop repair kit instructions (pdf).
If you live in a very dry area and potentially repairing your wood desktop isn't something you're comfortable with, we recommend that you take a look at our Bamboo, Eco, or Laminate desktops.
Please contact us if you have additional questions.
Regardless of the species, 1.75" thick solid wood desktops are very durable and will even harden over time. However, these surfaces can become scratched and require maintenance for longevity. If you live in a very dry climate, you will need to keep your desk hydrated with lemon oil. Otherwise the wood may dry out and form small cracks. See our Desktop Care Kits for desktop maintenance options.
With the exception of some naturally beautiful and expected imperfections such as minor knot holes and hairline cracks, your solid wood desk will be sanded, finished, and smooth. Woodworkers add filler to these minor defects and sand everything smooth before applying the top coat.
While your custom desktop will be manufactured from solid pieces of the same wood species on both sides, the bottom surface may include cosmetic defects such as minor cracks that do not affect structure or performance, blemishes, etc. Sourcing material that is equally pristine on both sides of the desktop would be extremely cost prohibitive.
Absolutely! Every custom solid wood desktop is made to your specifications for width and depth once you place your order. Contact us for a quote. Tell us how wide you want the desk to be and we'll cut it to within a 0.25" tolerance. Please note that we recommend a width from 42" to 80", for proper frame support.
Our solid wood desktops sometimes have a slight variance either over or under the selected dimensions because of the nature of the wood. We reject any variances over 1/4", but below that amount (either over or under) is within our accepted margin.
We've partnered with the National Forest Foundation to plant five trees in U.S. national forests for every solid wood desktop we sell. You can rest easier knowing that these new trees will help beautify our national parks.
These desktops are not mass produced. Each desktop is custom made to your exact specifications by our skilled woodworkers once you place your order. Wood is then sourced, dried, prepared, cut, and formed into a larger panel before being cut to your precise measurements. This is followed by the addition of grommet holes and desk attachment pre-drilled holes and threaded inserts. Lastly, your new desktop is finished with multiple coats of stain and/or clear lacquer finish, cured, inspected, packed, and sent to you.
Yes, we stock solid wood desktops in various species and five standard widths from 42" to 80" as well as 24" and 30" deep options. These desktops have been crafted by our woodworkers and are ready and waiting in the warehouse. That means we can get them to you quickly! You will just have to choose from the sizes and species we have available in stock. See our UPLIFT Standing Desk page for those options and more.
The color difference you're seeing is a result of natural variations in the wood. Different wood species can also get a little lighter or a little darker as they age.
If you are in the market for a one-of-a-kind natural desktop that reflects the untamed, pure habitat in which it grew, then solid wood is for you. However, if you prefer a desktop with uniform lines, finish, pattern, and color, you may prefer a laminate, bamboo, or eco curve desktop.
We're proud to offer more than a dozen species of solid wood, along with multiple wood stain and barkline options so that you can create the desk that you want.
Our woodworkers boast years of experience with these native Texas woods, and have been hired by us specifically for their speediness and attention to detail.
Each desktop is custom-made and one-of-a-kind, so your finish may vary slightly from our photos.
The UPLIFT Rectangular Solid Wood Desktop is available in several standard sizes. Choose a depth of 24'' or 30'' and a width of 42'', 48'', 60'', 72'', or 80''. If you want a custom size wood desktop up to 96'' wide, give us a call for a quick quote.
Your UPLIFT Solid Wood Desktop can be ordered with square edges on all four sides, a natural barkline on just the front edge, or a natural barkline on the front and back edges of your desk.
We give you the option to add wire or power grommets to your desktop. Wire Grommets let you route your cords and cables through a swiveling slot that opens and closes on your desk. Or upgrade to a Power Grommet, which adds a duo of power outlets to each grommet hole, giving you freedom to power and charge devices straight from your desktop.
Grommets are located fifteen inches from the center of the desk, to the left and right. In our ergonomic experience, we have found that this is an ideal spot for the best combination of cable management and accessory use.
