Overview
Ergonomists like to say that the best posture is your next posture. We all need to keep moving instead of straining to maintain a "perfect posture" for long periods.
Chosen "Best Standing Desk" by Wirecutter four years in a row. Review periods: 2019-2020, 2020-2021, 2021-2022, 2022-2023.

Assembly
Assembling an UPLIFT Desk is straightforward. This video provides a good overview of the UPLIFT V2 Desk assembly process to put your mind at ease.
The V2-Commercial Desk assembly process is very similar to the V2 desk. The primary difference is the installation of a Lower Crossbar, as shown in the V2-Commercial assembly instructions (pdf).
Visit the Assembly & Programming page for more information.
Get help with assembly from as low as $45 per hour. Ergonomic desk assembly can vary between 2-3 hours depending on the details of the order. You aren't charged until the assembly is completed. Enter your zip code on Taskrabbit to confirm service is available in your area. For more information, select the "Yes, send me information to book a Tasker" option above and post-order you will receive an email with assembly booking instructions. Assembly help should be arranged once you've received your product shipment.

This makes the V2-Commercial height adjustable desk suitable for most users, accommodating a seated 5th percentile (5'0") to a standing 95th percentile (6'3"). For greater working height range, add a keyboard tray as you configure your desk. With a keyboard tray the V2-Commercial standing desk accommodates users 4'4" tall and up, while the V2 standing desk accommodates users 4'8" tall and up. |

FAQ
Child lock and anti-collision. The keypad lock feature blocks the functionality of the keypad, perfect for preventing injury in spaces where children may be present. The anti-collision feature, which includes an integrated accelerometer and six-axis technology in the control box, stops the desk from moving if it collides with objects while rising or lowering.
Typically, height adjustable desk frames that meet the extended height range requirement of the ANSI/BIFMA G1-2013 standard are not as stable at their maximum height and tend to wobble. This is due to the reduced overlap between the legs' telescoping tubes. To remedy this issue, we added a steel telescoping crossbar between the frame legs to reduce side-to-side movement. In addition, we increased the cross-sectional area of the V2-Commercial Frame legs by 33%, which further increases frame stability. Both the frame and the lower crossbar adjust in width to fit desktops from 42" to 80" wide.
Our UPLIFT V2 Frame does not require a lower crossbar for stability because we designed it with a stability brace (pdf) at the top of each leg.
Both frames include dual crossbar rails just beneath the desktop for additional, hidden support. If you have any questions at all about which desk is right for you, please don't hesitate to contact us.
All two-leg UPLIFT Desks are designed with dual motors, which means each leg has a motor inside. This makes our height adjustable desks quieter, stronger, safer, and more stable than desks with a single motor driving both legs.
The Durability X5.5-2021 Standard ensures that both of our UPLIFT V2 Frames meet or exceed strict tests of desk loading, racking, leg strength, vertical adjustment, and cycle testing.
The UPLIFT V2-Commercial Frame supports ergonomic working postures (pdf) for 5th-percentile females (5'0") through 95th-percentile males (6'3") in both seated and standing positions. This means it meets the ANSI/BIFMA G1-2013 standing desk height requirements due to its height range of 22.6" to 48.7" with a 1" desktop installed. Meeting the ANSI/BIFMA G1-2013 standard is important for offices wishing to comply with BIFMA standards and for shorter users. Alternatively, the V2 Frame accommodates taller people (over 6'4") better than the V2-Commercial Frame.
Check the small label on your control box, usually located on the end next to where the power cord plugs in. This label has all the information you need to tell which program is on your control box. Compare the program number on your control box that starts with "99" to the program numbers found on the control box compatibility list (pdf) to determine what features can be accessed with your control box, as well as compatibility with the UPLIFT Bluetooth Adapter and Advanced Paddle Keypad.
Control boxes shipped as far back as 2017 include upgraded safety features, including the integrated accelerometer and six-axis technology. This feature improves the sensitivity of the anti-collision detection, stopping the desk more effectively if it collides with anything during movement. Combined with our Advanced Keypads, these control boxes also include features such as a Keypad Lock feature that blocks the function of the keypad so other people can't access it, a safety benefit in home offices where children are present. Additionally, you'll be able to switch between One-Touch and Constant-Touch desk movement modes or change the LED display between inches and centimeters. You can also set maximum and minimum desk height limits to prevent your desk from running into fixed objects like shelves or file cabinets. Compare the program number (starting with "99") on the control box label to the program numbers found on the control box compatibility list (pdf) to determine the capabilities of your control box.
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.
After purchasing desktop samples, you can apply the cost of the samples towards your new desk.

Take a look at the Proper Care & Use of your UPLIFT Desktop page.
Yes, not only do we construct our desktops with high-quality European E1-level adhesives, we seal them all with a UV-cured protective coating that doesn't off-gas or emit VOCs.
Greenguard-Gold certification (pdf) means that our laminate tops have been rigorously tested by an independent, third-party laboratory and meet strict UL guidelines for emissions of chemicals such as formaldehyde. Our desktops are safe for use in homes, schools, healthcare environments, and commercial spaces.
While most of our competitors offer a 3/4" thick bamboo desktop, our bamboo desktops are a full 1" thick, consisting of three individual layers of bamboo reeds arranged in alternating directions. This construction approach not only dramatically increases the strength of the desktop but also adds an appealing aesthetic effect along the edges of the top that we know you'll appreciate. Our 1" desktops are a full 33% thicker than the competition, adding extra durability to eliminate sagging. And our tops just last longer.
If you are in the market for a one-of-a-kind natural desktop that reflects the untamed, pure habitat in which it grew, then solid wood is for you. However, if you prefer a desktop with uniform lines, finish, pattern, and color, you may prefer a laminate, bamboo, or eco curve desktop.
First and foremost, be sure you are using ONLY dry erase markers or your notes and artwork may become permanent records! Second, UPLIFT Desk whiteboard desktops have a protective film applied to prevent scratches during shipment and assembly that must be removed before you begin using the desktop. Beyond these tips, all whiteboard surfaces require some extra cleaning from time to time due to buildup of dry erase marker. If any residue or ghosting is left behind after erasing the desktop, use a clean cloth or paper towel with a mixture of water and a little dish soap or use Expo White Board Cleaner. If these don't remove the residue, try a paper towel with some 70% isopropyl alcohol. DO NOT use Lysol wipes or Mr. Clean Magic Eraser as these products can permanently damage your whiteboard desktop surface.
All UPLIFT Desks operate on an input voltage of 120 Vac, but you can purchase a 240 Vac rated control box here. If you are located in an area that does not provide 120V and you don't want to purchase a 240 Vac control box for your desk, you MUST use an acceptable step down transformer to be covered by the desk's warranty. Neglecting to use a proper step down transformer or not connecting to a 120V power source will cause permanent damage to the desk's electrical components. Using a 120V plug adapter is not sufficient.
Choose from a variety of desktop styles and materials, including Greenguard-Gold Certified laminates, natural bamboo, natural-thick solid woods, and eco.
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.
