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 2019-2024. 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.
The C-Frame and T-Frame styles, as well as different foot lengths, offer different benefits for different preferences.
The C-Frame Style is the most popular because it's designed with the legs and frame body offset to the rear, allowing for more room for mounting accessories under the desk, between the front of the desk and the crossbar, that is just under the desktop and connects the two legs. We're talking about more space for accessories like drawers, storage cubbies, keyboard trays, and CPU holders.
The C-Frame Style also comes with either 27.5" or 24" long feet. Choose the 27.5" feet for maximum stability with a desktop depth of 27.5" or more. Choose the 24" feet if your desktop depth is less than 27.5", to avoid having the feet extend beyond the desktops front and rear edge.
The T-Frame design centers all parts of the frame under the desktop, with equal space in front of and behind the frame. The T-Frame style is typically utilized for conference tables, side tables, desks accessed from both sides, or when symmetry is desired at the expense of accessory mounting space under the desk and legroom. The T-Frame style is only available with 27.5" long feet.
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.
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 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.
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.

FAQ
Click here (pdf) for FAQs for our UPLIFT V2 Frame and UPLIFT V2-Commercial Frame.
Click here (pdf) for a comparison of the UPLIFT V1 Frame vs V2 and V2-Commercial Frames.
We recommend attaching a desktop that is at least 1" thick and 42" to 80" wide, like one of our hundreds of different UPLIFT Desktops. Your desktop will also need to be compatible with wood screws, which you will use to connect the frame to the desktop. UPLIFT Desktops have machined inserts that allow machine screws (instead of wood screws) to hold the desktop to the frame. Solid wood, laminate, and other sturdy composite materials make for great desktops. A door can work well too!
Go for it! Just make sure your top is at least 1" thick and is centered on the frame. Test it to make sure you are comfortable with it not tipping over. You are the designer so please make sure it's stable and doesn't overhang the frame too much where it can become a tipping hazard if a person climbs on it.
We do not recommend installing a glass top on the UPLIFT Desk frame, as you will not be able to secure the glass top with screws. If you have a bit of experience with DIY, you might be able to install a glass desktop that has been first installed on another material (like wood).
Yes, the frame includes wood screws needed to attach it to your desktop. They are 3/4" long so we recommend using a desktop that is at least 1" thick. We recommend that you purchase shorter screws separately if your desktop is less than 1" thick, to avoid the screw penetrating all the way through your thin desktop.
No, painting the frame would compromise the tolerances between the telescoping leg stages and your desk will cease to function.
The C-frame offsets the frame more to the rear of the desktop, allowing more room to mount accessories at the front of the desktop where you need them. The T-frame is centered under the desktop and offers a symmetrical aesthetic and is usually selected for applications like a conference room table where people are on both sides of the table.
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.
