Most Often Asked

  • How do I know if my order is in stock or when it will ship?

    Every product has a primary lead-time published at the top of the page, just to the right of the price. If the product has options or accessories that differ from the primary lead-time, the information will appear just below each option in red text. An option that appears grayed out or cannot be selected could mean that it is not compatible with another option; if this is the case there will typically be a note informing you of the particular incompatibility.

    Backorder notices will also be displayed on the shopping cart page and on your order confirmation email.

    During typical operations, we ship in-stock products the same day they are ordered if ordered by 3pm Central time.

  • What is my shipping transit time?

    1-4 business days depending on your location. For more information, visit our Shipping page. When your order ships you will receive an email with tracking information to track your shipment. If your tracking number doesn't provide tracking information immediately, please wait a few hours for the shipping carrier to update status then check again.

  • How do I change or cancel my order?

    Once order processing has begun or the order has shipped, it can no longer be changed or cancelled. So please act quickly by filling out the contact us form. Please include the details of your change request.

  • Should I choose the UPLIFT V2 Frame or the UPLIFT V2-Commercial Frame?

    The UPLIFT V2 Frame is our most popular frame—and it's the one both Wirecutter and techradar have named "Best Standing Desk".

    • Height adjustment range of 25.3" - 50.9" (with a 1" desktop installed and no casters added)
    • Inverted leg design (larger at the top) with a welded, corner stability brace
    • Tightened tolerances between each stage of the telescoping legs
    • Meets and exceeds ANSI/BIFMA X5.5-2021 Stability, Strength, and Durability Standards

    The UPLIFT V2-Commercial Frame is designed to support ergonomic working postures for people from 5'0" to 6'3", whether seated or standing. Thus it is better for shorter people because it's lowest height is about 3" lower than the V2 Frame.

    • Height adjustment range of 22.6" - 48.7" (with a 1" desktop installed and no casters added)
    • Complies with ANSI/BIFMA G1-2013 Height Standards
    • Lower, telescoping stability crossbar for reinforced strength
    • Tightened tolerances between each stage of the telescoping legs
    • Meets and exceeds ANSI/BIFMA X5.5-2021 Stability, Strength, and Durability Standards

    Learn more about the similarities and differences between the V2 and V2-Commercial frames by reviewing our UPLIFT V2 Frame Comparison (pdf) and UPLIFT V2 Frame FAQ (pdf).

  • Why does the UPLIFT V2-Commercial Frame have a crossbar?

    In order to comply with the ANSI/BIFMA G1-2013 minimum height requirement and still provide you with a wide range of stable height adjustment, we included an optional steel lower crossbar to the UPLIFT V2-Commercial Frame.

    We also beefed up the V2-Commercial Frame legs, giving them a 35% larger cross-sectional area than the UPLIFT V2 Frame legs. This design further increases the stability of the legs. The desk frame and the lower crossbar telescopes to fit desktops between 42" and 80" wide, providing you the option to change desk size or configuration in the future if needed.

    For additional information on the differences between the UPLIFT V2-Commercial Frame and the UPLIFT V2 Frame, you can review our UPLIFT V2 Frame Comparison (pdf) and UPLIFT V2 Frame FAQ (pdf).

  • What are the ANSI/BIFMA X5.5-2021 Stability, Strength, and Durability ratings?

    Meeting and exceeding these strict requirements for desk loading, racking, leg strength, vertical adjustment, and cycle testing ensures that UPLIFT V2 and UPLIFT V2-Commercial Frames are the most reliable standing desk frames you can buy.

    You can learn more by reading the UPLIFT V2 Frame FAQ (pdf).

  • What are the ANSI/BIFMA G1-2013 Height Standards?

    These standards, which are observed by corporations all over the world, ensure that people from 5'0" to 6'3" tall can work ergonomically at their desks, whether seated or standing. All UPLIFT V2-Commercial Frames comply with these standards when paired with one of our many 1" thick bamboo, rubberwood, laminate, or eco desktops.

    You can learn more about this standard by reviewing our ANSI/BIFMA G1-2013 Height Standard (pdf).

  • What is the keypad lock feature? How do I use it?

    Since late 2017, all UPLIFT Desks with an advanced keypad have shipped with a keypad lock feature which adds an extra level of safety for our customers. When activated, this important feature prevents children or others from adjusting the desk height without permission. To lock the keypad, press and hold the "M" button until the keypad's LED display reads "LOC." To unlock the keypad, press and hold the "M" button again until the display changes back to the numerical height display.

    Review our Programming Your UPLIFT Desk (pdf) to learn more.

  • If I live outside of the United States, will this frame work with my outlets and voltage?

    All UPLIFT Desk control boxes and legs are designed for 120V power input. If you are ordering an UPLIFT Desk for use where 120V power is not available, you'll need to use a step-down transformer to prevent damaging the desk frame's electronics and voiding the warranty. If you have any questions regarding whether or not you will need to use a step-down transformer with your UPLIFT Desk, contact us.

  • How many motors are in your desk frames?

    UPLIFT Desk frames are exclusively built with a motor housed in each leg. So, 2-leg desks use two motors, 3-leg desks use three motors, and 4-leg desks use four motors. In an effort to reduce their cost, many UPLIFT Desk competitors utilize only a single motor in their 2-leg frames which reduces their lifting capacity, speed, and reliability and also cause them to be noticeably louder during operation.

    Want to learn more? Check out our UPLIFT V2 Frame FAQ (pdf).

  • What is a 3-stage frame?

    UPLIFT Desk frames are industry-leading thanks to our 3-stage leg design. Our 3-stage frame leg design adjusts up and down using two spindles per leg instead of just one like you would find in a 2-stage height adjustable desk. This dual spindle design makes our desks stronger, quieter, and more reliable as well as helps them adjust 33% quicker, saving you time throughout the day.

    Learn more about our 3-stage frames by taking a look at our UPLIFT V2 Frame FAQ (pdf).

  • What are your desk feet made out of?

    Our UPLIFT V2 Frame feet are cast from partially recycled aluminum, which provides both style and strength. UPLIFT V2-Commercial Frame feet are fabricated from high-grade steel for unparalleled strength. Both materials are recyclable, environmentally friendly, and are often used in the constructions of office furniture.
