Overview
When you told us what you wanted in a solid wood desk, we listened: durability, beauty, and availability. Prepare your workspace—because you can now have your UPLIFT V2 Solid Wood Standing Desk quicker than ever before (and for less money). Most desktop styles ship from our warehouse in as little as one business day.
We paired a beautiful genuine-wood desktop with our reliable, powerful, and innovative UPLIFT V2 Frame—the frame from the desk Wirecutter named "Best Standing Desk"—to bring you a cutting-edge workstation that helps you accomplish more throughout the day.
Choose from five solid wood desktop styles, each boasting unique woodgrain details; and all tops are sealed with air-safe finishes, protecting both your desktop surface and indoor air quality for years to come.
To see all available desktop styles, check out our UPLIFT V2 Standing Desk which presents all available 2-leg desk materials.

Authenticity makes the difference. Some desk makers simply stain maple wood to imitate other hardwood species, satisfied with expensive imitations. At UPLIFT Desk, we don't believe in that approach.
We offer real hardwoods with rich colors and distinctive grains, including acacia, ash, walnut, and luminous, red-hued African mahogany. These heavyweight desktops are cut to a solid 1.75" thick (which is about 1/4" thicker than most solid wood furniture).
Everyone can agree that while nature isn’t perfect, it is certainly beautiful. If you are in the market for a one-of-a-kind natural desktop with asymmetrical lines, random grain patterns, spotty colors, knots, and other irregularities, then you will love our solid wood desktops. They reflect the untamed, pure habitat in which they grew and their alleged imperfections are often what lead customers to buy them in the first place. However, if uniform lines, finish, pattern, and color are characteristics that match your style, you'll likely be happier with one of our great laminate desktops. All this said, we take quality very seriously, and we are sure you will agree that your Solid Wood UPLIFT Desk is not only the most functional height-adjustable desk on the market, but also the most exquisite.
Looking for a size or cut you don't see? We also offer custom solid wood desktops in unique styles that are made to order.

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 15-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.

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.

Do more with your desk while maintaining a clean look at your workstation. The UPLIFT V2 Frame boasts a sleek design that hides 48 independent, patented mounting points, to use to install a wide array of desk accessories.
We're also excited about our planned attachments, including desk extensions, CPU holders, and power strips. We even have an under-desk hammock available now. Use your desk in a whole new set of ways: you can even indulge in an afternoon power nap, if the mood strikes you.
Please note: the hammock is only compatible with the UPLIFT V2 Frame. It's not compatible with the UPLIFT V2-Commercial Frame because it interferes with the stability crossbar.
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 want everyone to enjoy the health, comfort and productivity benefits of a beautiful, customizable, long-lasting, high-value and thoughtfully designed standing desk that encourages more movement throughout the day.
Our products have enabled more people to work better and live healthier. Join a family of hundreds of thousands of UPLIFT Desk users, including most Fortune 500 companies.

We're honored to be named the "Best Standing Desk" by Wirecutter for 3 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.
Let us help you get started putting together an office that supports everyone. If your plans include an office of four or more desks, we offer complimentary space planning to help you turn your dreams into an affordable reality. Just complete four simple steps, and we'll configure your office desk space for free, absolutely no strings attached. In addition to your layout, you'll also receive a discounted quote for your order.

Note: Wood Desktops and Dry Climates
If the air in your area is especially dry, your wood desktop could be at increased risk of cracking and splitting. Wood naturally expands and contracts depending on the amount of moisture in the environment, and without enough humidity, the moisture in your desk can evaporate, leaving it vulnerable to warping.
It's a completely natural process, but it's unfortunately something that could affect your new wood desktop. If your desktop does crack or split, we're happy to send you a repair kit to fill the affected areas. If 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 instead.
If your desktop has already warped, please click here for instructions (pdf) on using our solid wood desktop repair kit.

Click here (pdf) for a comparison of the UPLIFT V1 Frame vs V2 and V2-Commercial Frames.
Our UPLIFT V2 Solid Wood Standing Desks are available in many exotic hardwood species, including Acacia, Ash, Walnut, African Mahogany, and Pheasantwood.
African Mahogany is a rich, red-tinted hue, compared to the plainer brown of traditional Honduran Mahogany.
Pheasantwood is a beautiful rare wood with a natural pattern that features contrasting gold and brown coloration, resembling the black and golden figured patterns of a pheasant's tail feathers. Sanded, it produces an intense reflection of color unlike any other. Note that Pheasantwood is an uneven wood, so you may see filler used in the construction of your top to create the smoothest possible surface.
Our UPLIFT V2 Solid Wood Standing Desks are ready to ship the same or next business day. They will typically arrive within 4-6 business days after shipping, if you are located in the contiguous United States.
All standard desktop sizes of solid wood tops are available with grommets. For an option with no grommets, you will need to order the 80"x30" size desktop, or a Custom Solid Wood Desktop.
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.
Custom-built solid wood desktops as unique as you are.
Please note: Pheasantwood desktops with grommets have barkline front and square back. 80x30 Pheasantwood desktops with no grommets have barkline front and back.
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.
