Details
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 X5.5-2021 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 patented 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.
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. All UPLIFT Desk products come with a 15 Year Warranty.
See the full Warranty Policy.
Choose between two frame types: the UPLIFT V2 or UPLIFT V2-Commercial. Both are equally stable. The key difference between the two is the height range as listed below:
For the Desk Nerds, Ready to Geek Out?
The 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 legs. To compensate for less overlap, the V2-Commercial legs are thicker and 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 a seated female 5th percentile (5'0") to a standing male 95th percentile (6'3"). We expanded this range to 4'11" to 6'5" as we've found those heights fit our desk well in most cases (for example standing males above 6'3" tall will have a slight decline angle in their forearm while using the desk and can use a keyboard tray if needed). With the lower starting height, the V2-Commercial Desk accommodates short children especially when used with a keyboard tray while seated. Using a keyboard tray brings the working height of the desk even lower, allowing the V2 desk to fit users 4'8" or taller, and the V2-Commercial desk to fit users 4'3" or taller. We also recommend the use of a keyboard tray for any intensive computer users, in order to position the keyboard and mouse ideally, so wrists are kept perfectly straight. The optimal position for your keyboard and mouse is to allow your upper arms to hang 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 height just above your lap while seated. UPLIFT keyboard trays have 8" of height adjustment and move vertically from 5" below to 3" above the underside of the desktop. They also mount to a track spacer under the desk which is 2.8" below the desk bottom surface.
Keypads are available in Flush or Angled mount.
All Basic Keypads use constant-touch height adjustment: press and hold a button until the desk reaches the desired height.
One-touch Adjustment to 4 Saved Heights
Set up to four different heights and then tap a button to "automagically" adjust your desk to one of them. Move your chair and position a standing mat or board while the desk autonomously glides to your standing height with the help of its anti-collision system
Note that the Advanced Paddle Keypad uses a paddle instead and buttons and offers all advanced keypad functions while allowing a simple double tap of the paddle to adjust your desk to one of two saved heights.
Keypad Lock
Prevents the desk from moving until deactivated. Useful if unsupervised small children are present.
Anti-Collision system
The 6-axis electronic gyroscope sensor in the control box measures desk motion and works well to stop desk motion whether moving up or down. If needed, advanced keypads can adjust the sensitivity of the system.
1-Touch or Constant-Touch
Advanced keypads are set to one touch mode for convenient desk repositioning. Set to constant touch or lock keypad if unsupervised children are present.
Min & Max Heights
Set stop limits to trigger before the desk impacts shelves above or cabinets below.
LED Display
Adjust to a specific height with the height display. Display auto off after 10 seconds of inactivity to avoid light distraction in dark rooms.
Height Calibration
Calibrate the displayed height on the keypad. Especially useful to account for the additional height added by casters.
Get the most out of your standing desk with sitting and standing reminders, standing time and calorie tracking, desk height control, and memory settings.
Move your body regularly throughout the day to improve productivity, mood, energy, and health.

The Bluetooth adapter unlocks the functionality of the UPLIFT Desk App
Patented, integrated mounting points attach accessories firmly to the steel desk frame. These 48 threaded bolt holes are built discreetly into the frame, hiding just under the desktop. Use the rock-solid attachment points to conveniently and securely attach useful accessories without drilling holes into the desktop.
This new mounting method is so sturdy, you can even hang a hammock underneath! And yes, we offer a free hammock with every UPLIFT V2 desk purchased. Please note: The hammock is only compatible with the UPLIFT V2 frame, it's not compatible with the V2-Commercial frame because it interferes with the lower stability crossbar.
Choose from CPU holders, desk extensions, power strips, hammocks, foot hammocks, etc. We are always designing more useful accessories that attach to these mounting points.
From the bottom of our hearts, we'd like to say thank you to our customers, for all of your support over the past 20 years.
We've built UPLIFT Desk based on your input and our goal remains the same:

We're honored to be named the "Best Standing Desk" by Wirecutter for 4 years in a row. We are also rated #1 by Techradar, 9to5Mac and many others. See more UPLIFT Desk reviews.
When it comes to powering all of your devices on a standing desk, it's best to utilize a power source that moves up and down with the desktop. Not only is it more convenient to have power outlets within arm's reach, but the risk of plugs pulling out of wall sockets when the desk moves is eliminated. We have many options to choose from, there's the Power Grommet, Clamp-On Power, 8-Outlet Mountable Surge Protector, Wireless Charging Power Hub, and Power Hub with USB. Also, a power strip is included with the Basic, Advanced, and Ultimate Wire Management Kits.
Our cable management tools help keep the whole office looking clean and organized. Every UPLIFT Desk includes one Wire Management Tray to get you started. The wire tray attaches under the desktop and houses a power outlet strip, cords, and any bulky power adapters in a discreet, centralized location that moves as your desktop moves.
The very popular Magnetic Cable Organizing Channel attaches directly to the frame leg and keeps wires routed discreetly down from just under the desktop to the floor.
Our favorite place to stow cables, wires, outlet strips, and bulky power adapters is inside the Wire Management Modesty Panel. The mesh panel attaches to the back of any size desk and provides a clean finishing touch to your workspace. It's essentially a large mesh pocket with velcro closures. A 29" wide Wire Management Modesty Panel is included in the Ultimate Wire Management Kit, or select a wider Wire Management Modesty Panel.
We understand that furnishing an office can be quite the task. Save time and make it easy on yourself; let our design team lay the foundations for your new office floor plan. We can create a customized layout to meet your needs, however big or small. If you're considering purchasing four or more desks, all you have to do is complete four simple steps, and we'll configure your office desk space for free, no strings attached.

You can't go wrong with our laminate desktop. Designed with durability in mind, this is a desktop that's ready to be there with you throughout the highs and lows at work.
Although laminate furniture has had some style fails in the past, we have worked with our designers to create an eye-catching desktop that mimics the look of real wood, minus the price tag. We exclusively offer Wilsonart certified laminates, which come with some of the most diverse finish options around, letting you create the custom desk that suits your style perfectly.
Laminate is composed of thermally-fused melamine laminate over 45 lb density E-1 rated particle board core, and comes with a 3 mm PCV edge banding. All of the layers of the laminate desktop are fused under high pressure treatment to form a very durable surface that's ideal for work. Our laminate desktops are also at one full inch, which are much thicker than the laminate desktop thicknesses offered by our competitors.
We have found that black dry erase markers tend to perform the best on these desktops. If any residue or ghosting is left behind after erasing the desktop, use Expo White Board Cleaner. If that doesn't remove all of the residue, try 70% isopropyl alcohol. You can also write over the unerased portion with another dry erase marker, let it dry, and then erase it.
You bet! The height adjustment of an UPLIFT desk is great for sewing or crafting. Just lower your desk when you want to sit and sew, and then raise your desk to an ergonomic height when you want to cut out fabric.
Yes! If you have your own desktop, check out just the UPLIFT Desk frame without a desktop.
You should be able to assemble the desk frame and attach it to the desktop by yourself. However, you will need two people to safely turn the desk right-side up after assembly. Check out our assembly video to see just how easy it is to put your desk together.
The 2-leg standing desk frame can support up to 355 lb of distributed weight. If there is a load difference of more than 100 lb between each side of the desk, the legs may become misaligned and not function properly.
Our Greenguard-Gold Certified laminates are 1" thick and available in a variety of beautiful, durable finishes.
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.
We stand firmly behind the quality of our products. All UPLIFT Desk products come with a 15 Year Warranty, visit the Warranty page for the full policy.
