UPLIFT 24" Deep Standing Desk

This shallow depth desk was created to help maximize floor space in areas with limited space. It's also great for fitting more furniture into larger spaces. Oftentimes, the rear 6" of a 30" deep desk is not utilized, so this shallow depth desk is a great option to save space. To compensate for the shallower desk we recommend that you use a monitor arm to "float" your monitor (or monitors) above the desktop. This will free up the desktop real estate that monitor stands occupy on your desktop surface.

Saving 6" of space across the back of a 30" desktop can make a big impact on many workspaces at home or in the office. It can make a difference in a smaller sized work-from-home office by allowing you to maintain adequate space for additional furniture. In a commercial office setting, the smaller desk footprint can allow for larger aisles between desks, or for the use of space division products to provide social distancing and more "elbow room" for employees. If used in rows of desks, the difference can lead to another row of desks fitting in the same square footage, meaning more utilization of the facility while still allowing room for social distancing by separating desks more side-to-side.

The 30" Deep Desktop version of this desk was chosen by Wirecutter as the "Best Standing Desk" in both 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 review periods. Wirecutter did not review this 24" Deep version. The only difference is the depth of the desktop so we believe that the review applies to this desk as well. This 24" deep desktop secures firmly to our patent-pending UPLIFT V2 or V2-Commercial Frame with machine screws and metal inserts within the desktop. The frame includes an accessory mounting point system that accepts accessory attachments directly mounted to the sturdy steel frame.

Shipping is free (in the contiguous US), and our desks typically ship the same day you place your order (unless noted differently on our desk configurator). We provide easy-to-follow assembly videos and instructions to keep it simple for you. We also offer professional installation options.

In addition to making fantastic products, customer service is our primary focus. Which is why we offer free returns with our 30 Day trial with free return shipping and our desks are backed by a 10 Year Warranty!

UPLIFT V2 Shallow Depth Standing Desktop Options

Shallow Depth, Space Saving Desktop Options

Choose from multiple colors of durable laminate, carbonized bamboo, or rubberwood solid wood.

GREENGUARD-Gold Certified Laminates

Our 1" thick laminate tops are available in a variety of solid colors and wood grains. Laminates are a great choice if you want durability, symmetrical patterns, and consistently matching colors at a great price. Our GREENGUARD-Gold (PDF) laminates meet strict chemical emissions standards for use in indoor spaces—including homes, schools, healthcare environments, and commercial spaces.

Bamboo

Bamboo is 40% harder than oak, making our 1" thick bamboo a solid choice. It is also an eco-friendly choice as bamboo is one of the most ecologically-sustainable materials on the planet. Our bamboo desktops get their color from the carbonization process and use UV-cured clear finish.

Rubberwood Solid Wood

Our environmentally-conscious rubberwood desktops are both sustainable and beautiful. We recycle old Pará rubber trees that have spent thirty years producing latex sap for rubber products. You can appreciate this unique and beautiful solid wood desktop for years to come.

New Features on the UPLIFT V2 and V2-Commercial Frame

UPLIFT Desk Raises the Standards of a Height Adjustable Desk

UPLIFT V2 - Raising the Standard in Height Adjustable Desks

Our V2 Standing Desk Frame is the most advanced standing desk frame. We took our original frame to achieve even greater heights with improvements in safety and stability. We added patent-pending mounting points for a convenient and sturdy connection of current and future innovative desk accessories. The UPLIFT V2 Desk was reviewed and declared to be the "Best Standing Desk" by Wirecutter in 2019-2021 and the #1 best desk pick by TechRadar, and many others.

The UPLIFT V2 frame is engineered for safe, reliable, and fast height adjustment with two separate motors (one in each leg). Unlike other desk brands, our anti-collision feature works great in both directions. Using dual motors and advanced sensors has provided the UPLIFT V2 sit-to-stand desk frame with an industry-leading anti-collision system.

To make our desk have maximum stability, we added stability braces at the top of each leg. To do so, we inverted the leg orientation and put the larger tube section at the top, in order to give us the space for the stability braces. These angular braces eliminate the side-to-side wobble and the need for a lower crossbar.

The UPLIFT V2 frame is outfitted with 3-stage legs. These three telescoping stages enable the UPLIFT V2 to adjust 33% faster with a 33% greater height range than less capable desks. Desks that use 2-stage legs have a substantially limited height range and are considerably slower. The purpose of a standing desk is to allow and encourage you to frequently adjust your position throughout the day, to the exact height, it's important to choose a desk with 3-stage legs and a large vertical adjustment range.

The patent-pending accessory mounting point system allows for quick, no-drilling required, and sturdy attachment of our exciting and exclusive desk accessories.

UPLIFT V2-Commercial Desk - Rated Best Standing Desk by Wirecutter

The UPLIFT V2-Commercial Standing Desk Frame has all the same advantages and benefits as the UPLIFT V2 Desk, but was specifically designed to provide a seated and standing height range that's ergonomically ideal for 95% of all desk users, from a 5' tall seated individual to a 6'3" standing person. The V2-Commercial desk travels 2.7" lower than the V2 desk, and meets the ANSI/BIFMA G1-2013 height standard required by many of the world's largest companies.

Read on below to find out which UPLIFT Desk frame is the right choice for you.

Advanced Keypad Feature: Tap a button or paddle to automagically position the desk. Then have time to move your chair and standing mat as the desk glides to your standing height.

Tap Into Your Desk's Full Potential

The Basic Keypad is an entry-level keypad with no advanced features. It has up and down buttons for height adjustment. To change the desk height, press and hold a button until the desk reaches the desired height.

The Advanced Keypad adds these features:

One touch movement - Tap a button to transition between sitting and standing height, without holding the button down. Lets you reposition your chair and get ready to stand while the desk moves.
Child Safety Lock - Prevents the desk from moving until deactivated
Min & Max Height Settings - Prevents your desktop from impacting shelves above or cabinets below
Auto-Dark LED display will go dark 10 seconds after use
And more...

The Advanced Comfort Keypad includes the Advanced Keypad features and adds an angled face for easier viewing, raised dividers between buttons for no-look operation, and a satisfying, rubberized, soft-touch feel.

The Advanced Paddle Keypad includes the Advanced Keypad features and adds intuitive desk adjustment with no need to look at the keypad. Double-tap the paddle and the desk moves automatically to a preset height. A programmable standing reminder feature notifies you when it's time to stand.

Patent-Pending Mounting Point System

Both the UPLIFT V2 Frame and UPLIFT V2-Commercial Frame feature one of our coolest innovations: 48 accessory mounting points, integrated right into the frame body. This patent-pending system gives you four dozen different spots to attach an UPLIFT Desk accessory directly to our sturdy steel desk frame. You can mount a power strip, desk extension (with or without a CPU holder), a hammock, a foot hammock, and more—all using this quick-attach system.

To get you started, we created an under-desk hammock, perfect for assuming a different posture in your own space. It's fun and is a great change of pace. Believe it or not, your desk is strong enough to hold a 200 pound person; just attach the hammock to the frame and give it a try (hammock is not recommended for desktops under 72" wide, please consider a 72" or 80" wide desktop if you'd like to use a desk hammock).

Please note: the hammock is only compatible with the UPLIFT V2 Frame. It's not compatible with the UPLIFT V2-Commercial Frame due to interference with the crossbar under the desk.

Power Solutions for Your Desktop

When working at a height adjustable desk, we recommend that you use power solutions that move with your desk to prevent cords and cables pulling as the desk goes up and down. Our in-desk power grommets, clamp-on power modules, and surge protectors are all tailored for the dynamic desktop, providing you with the cord slack your devices need to keep them from coming unplugged or pulling off your desk as the desk moves.

Keep Those Cables Managed

Especially on a smaller desktop, we recommend that you choose a cable management solution that helps you stay organized and safe. Cables that are routed and bundled look great and set the tone for your workday experience. Properly managing your computer cables also helps prevent snagging as the desk moves to standing or sitting positions. A snag could pull something out of the wall, or off of the desktop.

We include an under-desk wire management tray with every UPLIFT Standing Desk.

Frequently Asked Questions

Click here for FAQs for our UPLIFT V2 Frame and UPLIFT V2-Commercial Frame.

I plan on upgrading to a larger desktop later—can I still use this same frame when I do?
Yes, definitely! The UPLIFT V2 Frames are interchangeable, so most parts are the same on all of our desk bases. If you decide to move to a 30" deep desktop, you will simply need longer side-brackets and feet. If you need help, please contact us for assistance.
Can I get a desk that is narrower than 24"?
Our 24" tops are the narrowest desktops we keep in stock; they're ideal for most compact spaces. The shortest side brackets for the UPLIFT V2 or UPLIFT V2-Commercial Frame are just under 22" deep. If you need something custom made to your measurements, we can cut our laminate and solid wood desktops to meet your exact specifications, with a minimum depth of 22".
Why aren't these sizes also listed with the standard desks?
We wanted to shine a light on our most compact desktops, while also simplifying the desk buying process. Some accessories and options that work on a 30" deep desk do not work on a 24" deep desk so you'll notice a couple of differences if you use our configurator to build both desks. your choices aren't overwhelming as you build out the standing desk of your dreams.
Why should I use the shallow depth desk over a smaller version of a traditional desk?
The UPLIFT V2 24" Deep Standing Desks are 24" deep, versus the standard 30"-deep tops available on other UPLIFT Desks. This makes them the perfect solution when you're working with limited office space or when you need to fit more into a larger space.
What if I need a size that isn't listed here?
If you require a shallow desktop in a size you don't see here, we can make you a custom laminate or solid wood desktop for you. For a quote, call, chat, or email our sales team, and we'll be happy to help!
Do the feet of the desk protrude past the desktop?
No, our shallow depth desks come with a set of shorter feet that don't stick out past the edge of the desktop.
What accessories can I install on the UPLIFT V2 24" Deep Standing Desk?
Due to the small amount of space under the desktop, some accessories are unavailable. Build your desk with our configurator where you'll see all the compatible accessories.
Can I buy a desk smaller than 42" wide by 24" deep?
At this time, the smallest top we offer in stock is 42" wide by 24" deep. You can purchase a custom made laminate or solid wood desktop that is any size as long as it's not smaller than 22" deep and 42" wide. Please contact us for a custom size desktop.
Are there any differences between the shallow depth desk and the regular UPLIFT Desk (besides the depth)?
The side brackets and feet for the desk frame are shorter so they don't stick out from underneath the desktop, and the desk does not need as large of a base to stabilize it. In other words, you'll get the same great 3-stage frame as offered with the other UPLIFT Desks.
Can I use a treadmill with this size desk?
The shallower desktop depth is compatible with treadmills, but we recommend a desk that is at least 72" wide for use with a treadmill. At that size, you can keep your treadmill handy while still being able to stand or sit next to it. Some people do place a stool on the treadmill when they'd like to sit.
Which control box is on my desk?
Just take a peek at the silver label on your control box (under your desktop). If that label indicates v4.1, v4.2, or v4.3, you have the newest version of UPLIFT Desk's control box, complete with new features!
What features are on the version 4 control boxes?
- When adjusting the height of your desk, it stops when it comes in contact with an object (to help avoid damage and injury). Our updated version 4 control box comes with a handy new safety feature called collision sensitivity. This allows you to set three different levels of sensitivity for this anti-collision function.
- There's also a keypad lock, which enables you to keep other people (children included) from adjusting the desk height (when it's locked).
- You can now toggle quickly between one-touch and constant-touch height adjustment modes.
- Whether you're metric or standard, you can now switch between inches and centimeters on your keypad.
Why does UPLIFT Desk use 3-stage frames?
3-stage frames use three spindles and can change heights 33% faster than 2-stage legs, which many of our competitors use (to cut costs). A 3-stage frame also means you get a 33% larger height adjustability range, so our desks fit both shorter and taller users (and even kids)! Going with a 2-stage leg is not a good compromise, that is why we don't offer them.
Why are dual motors important?
All of our frames come with a motor in each leg. This makes our desks much quieter when raising and lowering—as well as stronger, more reliable, and safer than desks with just a single motor. We think you'll agree: it's the little details that add up to make an outstanding desk.
