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!
If a rectangular 24" deep desk on a 2-leg frame isn't what you're looking for, visit our Adjustable Height Standing Desk page to view all the different types of desks we offer including these popular choices:
(Above) 60x24" Carbonized Bamboo Desktop
(Below) V2 60x24" Walnut Laminate Standing Desk
Choose from multiple colors of durable laminate, carbonized bamboo, or rubberwood solid wood.
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 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.
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.

UPLIFT Desks are engineered for world-class stability, safety, and reliability. They feature an impressive vertical travel range of over 25.5", fast height adjustment, one-touch operation, and individual drive motors in each leg. Both the UPLIFT V2 and UPLIFT V2-Commercial Frames are built with top of the line quality components and precision machining that is built to last. So the desk you invest in today works for you well into the future with our 10-Year warranty. Certifiably sturdy and strong; both frames meet the ANSI/BIFMA X5.5-2014 standard for durability and stability.
The combination of one-to-one motor to leg ratio and advanced collision sensors result in an industry leading anti-collision system. Unlike other desk brands, the UPLIFT Desk anti-collision feature works great as the desk moves up or down, and the sensitivity can be adjusted to account for usage differences.
A desk that raises quickly to a preset height with a touch of a button is a desk that you'll use more often to keep moving. Using a desk should be effortless and fun. UPLIFT Desks are equipped with 3-stage legs with a large vertical range to allow frequent sit-stand transitions throughout each day. UPLIFT Desks have a 33% greater height range and are 33% faster than competing desks. Less-capable 2-stage desks have a substantially limited vertical travel range and are considerably slower, which can impact comfort and productivity if the desk doesn't go low or high enough for the task at hand.
The patent-pending accessory mounting point system allows for quick and sturdy attachment of our exclusive desk accessories without the need to drill holes into your desktop. This mounting system adds sturdy modularity and ultimate customization capabilities to your dream workstation.
Both the UPLIFT V2 and UPLIFT V2-Commercial Desks have been awarded top ratings as the "Best Standing Desk" by Wirecutter in 2019-2020 and in 2020-2021. UPLIFT Desk has also been rated #1 by TechRadar, 9to5Mac, Lifehacker, Business Insider, Entrepreneur, Wired, and many others.
We stand firmly behind the quality of our products. Desks and most accessories come with a 10 Year warranty, desktops have a 5 Year warranty.

The UPLIFT V2 and V2-Commercial desks are equally stable. The V2-Commercial desk has a height range that starts at about 3" lower than the V2 and conforms to the ANSI/BIFMA G1-2013 height standard. The key difference between the two is the height range as listed below:
The UPLIFT V2 Desk has stability braces at the top of each leg for maximizing stability without the need for a lower crossbar between the legs. To provide the space needed for the stability braces, the leg orientation is inverted with the larger telescoping tube section at the top. These angular stability braces eliminate side-to-side wobble and replace the need for a lower crossbar.
For the V2-Commercial Desk to achieve a 3" lower starting height with a larger overall height adjustment range, the three telescoping leg sections were designed to be shorter and travel farther. Because of this, the telescoping leg stages overlap each other less than they do on the V2 desk legs. To compensate for less overlap, the V2-Commercial desk has thicker legs connected by a lower crossbar. The end result is best-in-class stoutness that matches the award-winning stability of the V2 desk.
The V2-Commercial Desk was developed to optimally accommodate users under 5'4" tall. It meets the ANSI/BIFMA G1-2013 height standard to accommodate users who are 5'0" to 6'3" tall (5th percentile female seated height to 95th percentile male standing height). With the lower starting height, the V2-Commercial Desk also better accommodates children. Adding a keyboard tray allows the V2 desk to accommodate a 4'10" or taller user, and allows the V2-Commercial desk to accommodate a 4'6" or taller user.
We recommend the use of a keyboard tray with either desk to position the keyboard and mouse so your wrists are perfectly straight and the keyboard tray height is perfectly positioned either lower or higher than your desktop height. The optimal position for your keyboard and mouse is to have your upper arms hanging comfortably at your sides, with elbows at about 90 degrees, and wrists perfectly straight while typing and mousing. This will usually place the keyboard tray just above your lap. UPLIFT keyboard trays have 8" of height adjustment and move vertically from 5" below to 3" above the underside of the desktop (without a 2.8" thick track spacer). Adding a keyboard tray allows the V2 desk to accommodate a 4'10" or taller user, and allows the V2-Commercial desk to accommodate a 4'6" or taller user.
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:
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.
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.
V2 72x24" Walnut Laminate Standing Desk
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.
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.
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.

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 feet. If you need help, please contact us for assistance.
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.
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.
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!
No, our shallow depth desks come with a set of shorter feet that don't stick out past the edge of the desktop.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
Most desk issues can be solved quickly by following our desk reset and troubleshooting instructions. These steps can be completed in just a few minutes. If you still need assistance, please contact us.
