You deserve much more for your stuff bro, definitely sub'd. Much love.
Right back atcha Aiishwin! Thanks for the support. Maybe someday we'll get there, just got 1k last month which was a big milestone! I think just producing more content is going to be the best part of this channel, once we've got more time on our hands that is :D
I have had 5 sit/stand desks for various apartments and offices. One I got cheap off Wayfair, which I regret. It lacked the height range, and I underestimated the annoyance of holding the button down without a memory option. All my Uplift Desks have been excellent quality, even my cheapest. Went with 60" wide pheasantwood for my latest. Expensive, but I love it. The company has upped their game from the time I got my first one 5 years ago. Fast delivery and easy to assemble now.
I've seen so many Standing Desk reviews but non seemed convincing enough until now, I enjoyed every bit of this video and I'm happy to have discovered your amazing channel!
@UTTERMOSTUBER I actually ended up with the two leg version 😂 So far (roughly a year later) it’s been great. Minimal wobble and still going strong. The four legged version does look awesome, though.
@UTTERMOSTUBER I think if you can swing it, the four legged version is probably worth it. That being said, I’d venture to guess the difference is not as substantial as the price difference would suggest. Do I wish I got the four leg? Sure. Am I also happy with my 2 leg? Sure am. I do wish I got a real wood top, but I ended up with the bamboo top. I’ll likely source a reclaimed wood top at some point in the near future as those are awesome looking.
Great video. I also purchased the 4 leg version, but I got the cheaper laminate version. It was a bear to assemble alone, but well worth it in the end. Love the desk and couldn't be happier. I too recommend spending the extra for the 4 leg version (unless of course you're only going to have a monitor and printer or something like that). Otherwise, very nice and sturdy standup desk.
Thanks for watching Reginald, and thanks for taking the time to comment on our little video. The 4 leg version is 100% the way to go, but agree with you that if you're not stressing a lot of weight on it then it's totally fine to save a little and go with the L-shape leg. I almost got the laminate version tbph, but the reclaimed wood was too alluring :D
@@masterofnone11 I got a 60 in whiteboard desktop on the commercial frame and paid $1149.00 (I could have kept it under $900 but I splurged on a few extras due to my work pitching in)
The only thing that was keeping me from getting an uplift was the fact there wasn’t 4 legs. Turns out I didn’t scroll far enough down on the webpage. Think this is the desk for me! Great video thank you!
I got the 72inch 2 leg version with the reclaimed pheasant wood (it has a bark line finish on the front) and I love it. Your review was very helpful when I was looking for a desk!
Great review! I recently bought the conference desk version offered by Uplift. 8'x3'-6", expandable to 9'x3'-6". Hands down the best desk I've ever had and incredibly sturdy!
It's a tough choice for sure, I still really love the reclaimed wood and wouldn't change my decision for anything. It's a real pleasure to work on every day. There are a ton of options out there though from countless companies. Just go with your gut!
I just set up the UPLIFT L-shaped desk last weekend, also got the matching fixed table to match which gives me a large U-shaped work area. Also got 2 under desk CPU holders, one for tower and other for UPS which really helps with cable management using a UPS and 3 monitors. It was expensive but this is a very solid built desk. All parts are constructed very well with nice finishes, leg motors are smooth and quiet.
I got the same four legged make. It's best to order the monitor arms from Uplift, because there is such a narrow rim on the back, that most monitor mounts from other companies won't work. You can install off-brand mounts through the grommet holes (if you have them), but the placement isn't ideal, and it blocks the grommet hole. Again, they won't be able to clamp onto the back side of the desk. The two legged desk doesn't put the same restrictions on the monitor mount selection. Uplift doesn't make a mount rated for 20 lb+ monitors. Great desk though, everyone who sees it is envious.
the first fuckin review that actually resonated with me as a creator. Thank you. Still using the same desk my father and I built back in Jr high. Im 31 now and this is starting to help me narrow down the listing. The stop motion was amazing.

basically if you keep this desk for 12 years it will cost you around $13\$14 per month if you keep for 20 years the cost goes down to $8... so its actually cheap! really nice... im looking for one like this one... will plan my budget for the end of the year and get one! great video!! by the way, my math to get to the that monthly cost is basically divide $2000 by 12 years which is 144 months..
What an incredible review. I'm looking at getting an ergonomic desk and setup for home similar to what I use at work. This video helped a lot, thank you!
So watching this video for the first time I immediately notice the wireless charger, I have the exact same one. I'm not alone in searching the cheapest wireless charger on amazon :D
I’m not sure if I’m going with this desk as I’m still researching on standing desks, but you definitely earned my sub. What a great quality vid. Nice background music with great video footages along with awesome contents. I will be enjoying any vid of your even if the topic isnt interesting if it is in this quality. Good work!
@@Clockwork9 Thanks for the reply! Quick question regarding the desk, how sturdy is the desk with the 4 legs? Have you ever noticed any wobbles when you write something on a paper, type on a keyboard fast, or moving around the mouse quickly? I am a bit sensitive and my current desk wobbles which makes my monitors shake (texts move around slightly) just a bit when I am typing, and it drives me nuts :( It would be awesome if you can share your experience with us in terms of the sturdiness of the desk! Thanks for your help in advance.
It’s quite sturdy. I will say with the monitor arms they do have an ever so slight wobble, but you have to really be hammering the keys. It’s there at times, but it’s really not that bad. Other than that, writing on it there doesn’t feel like any wobble and nothing else on the desk moves.
TLDR: Uplift will not exchange a faulty leg on a 1 week old desk. They will not honor their 15 year warranty and I do not recommend them to a new standing desk user. I don't often make comments like this but I had a recent Uplift Desk experience that has bothered me. I decided to go with Uplift desks mostly because of the warranty and customer service experience that some spoke of, while I understand they are overpriced, quality and customer experience is important to me so I did not mind. My desk arrived less than a week ago and the right side leg was faulty out of the box it makes a knocking sound when lowered and my desk shakes back and forth. My girlfriend who shared my office labeled it as "annoying" without me telling her there was an issue and I agreed. I contacted their customer service team and provided them with pictures and a video that they require for proof, in the video you can clearly hear the knocking sound but it is difficult to tell the desk was shaking (filmed on my iphone). Here is their response: - "Good morning, I do appreciate the help. The warranty team did not notice an excess amount of movement or sounds. They did recommend if on carpet to loosen the Leveling Caps on the feet to give more support with the padding, and to possibly tighten the feet and legs. We do expect some movement in the desk. Please let me know if you have any questions or other details to share." I adjusted the feet and the shaking and knocking persisted. I found it to still be an issue prevalent enough to bother my girlfriend and I as I transitioned the desk. I sent the video to my brother who said that his uplift desk did not make a similar knocking noise and shake while being lowered. I asked the customer service rep if the leg was covered under warranty as I am looking for a leg exchange not a new free leg. This was there follow up: - "Good morning, The leg does have some sound as it lowers fully. The warranty team was unable to capture anything outside normal movement and sounds with the prior video. If you have any other details please let me know and I can help send it to the team to review. Please let me know if you have any questions." They charge a premium price and do not offer premium customer service or a premium product seemingly. I am just looking to swap my leg for another and was willing to cover shipping but their team will not cover a week old desk under their 15 year warranty, if you are considering uplift I would absolutely not recommend their company and if you have questions before you purchase PM me I would be happy to answer.
Clockwork 9 Yeah Man so far so good. I’m not handy at all and I was able to put it together. No problem. There is some wobble when the desk is at the highest point but nothing that impacts me working from that position. So far very happy with my purchase.
Totally agree Eddie. I just checked because that makes sense and they sell casters as an option for $29 which seems fair to me. I don't move my desk at all, so never even considered them.
You are 100% right! I meant to talk about that but completely forgot to loop back around to it. In my case the keyboard tray is useless, it just puts you way too far away from the desk and the monitors and I like the desk space with the monitors pushed back. If you like the keyboard tray style working (turns out I hate it!) then it's great, very high quality but not more me. Should have put that in the review! -Andrew
@@JohnLeMayIV Sadly no, Uplift was going to send us the whiteboard desk (among other things) to do a review on but they dropped off the face of the earth on that. We really wanted to check it out.
WOW-amazing video. I’ve been looking at getting one of these desks for a while now and this video really helped make up my mind. What was the verdict on the keyboard mount? I don’t think you got around to talking about it. Thanks for this!
I appreciate your review of this desk. I'm just starting my journey for a standing / height adjustable desk and Uplift is at the top of my list too. Could you share which monitor arms you ordered and from where? I like the way those look and may follow in your footsteps.
Those are Uplift branded, but I don't see that they sell those anymore. As long as you check what weight the arms can hold, any arm will be comparable.
Great video, I was hoping you'd get into why you didn't like the keyboard tray. When buying mine I am thinking about just using my already purchased humanscale keyboard tray, but in general I prefer to have my kb and mouse on the desk as you have it, I just can't find a keyboard tray that feels good. Also, A+ quality so earlier into your channel, subscribed.
I meant to get into it, just completely slipped my mind. I felt the same way about every keyboard tray and I was hoping the Uplift one would be better, but it wasn't. I just hate keyboard trays in general, they flop around all the time and just generally feel very unstable, plus I prefer the placement up on my desk (as you do).
Really good review! Thank you for the video. From your own judgement: do you think it's possible to mount a 33lbs keyboard with a keyboard tray on the front of this desk without the desk getting wobbly while playing on it around 45" height? Thanks for your answer!
Thanks Karim! I'd imagine if you get a solid wood desk it would be pretty darn solid on there, the desk itself is pretty rock solid too. If this desk can't handle it, I doubt many could. Another consideration is their underslung rail system for mounting keyboard trays, it's nice. I took it off since I prefer to put everything on the surface, but it's a good keyboard tray for sure. The keyboard tray might get wobbly (which I don't like) but the desk is really solid with the solid wood.
I never liked the look of the keyboard drawer offered from Uplift. I wonder if you could have simply pulled the legs off your old desk and still used it?
Strongly considering this, even more now thanks to your review. You said you'd talk more about the keyboard tray but never came back to it. I noticed you weren't using it, so I'm very curious as to your thoughts. Thanks
Hey MaryLou! I got rid of the keyboard tray almost immediately. It just didn't sit sturdy enough, I don't think any keyboard tray will. I much prefer setting everything on the desk top.
man you know I've been looking for a stand up desk but a couple of things keeps me from just jumping in. 1) no type of drawers with the stand up desk and I just feel for the money you spend you're really getting nothing but a desk with a electric motor. 2) im kind of OCD and man all I see is them damn wires running everywhere lol! well I guess I could get some type of wire organizers or something. just my 2 cents anyway a great video and I'll probably check out their site but maybe ill wait until they start adding some drawers to them UPDATE! Umm I just went to the website and they do have a wide variety of options for naunces I mentioned above. WOW! super excited now maybe I'll get me a stand up desk after all. thanks Clockwork 9
Was going to reply with what you said in your update! Glad you found a solution. My wife situation is out of control lol. I ended up using drill in cable ties since the ones provided all came loose
@@Clockwork9 did you check out the uplift website they do have Cale organizers on the website and a couple of drawers also. one of the drawers even locks if you have the desk that's larger than the 48inch. I think im going to go ahead and order one especially being that you do also have the flexibility to add your own table top. so you don't have to have just an old bland top. Your top is nice though. appreciate the reply man but go back on there site they have quite a few options. again good review
@@jasontaylor2237 I did actually get a little half-circle drawer with the desk. I should have mentioned in the video that it did not fit because of the cross bars, which I thought was a pretty bad oversight on their part considering they sold it with the desk as an option. Double check with them that the drawer you get will fit with your desk.
Need to know what other desks you have compared it to in the intro. Any new mattress is "the best I've ever used by far" if I've only used average mattresses.
Thanks for the compliment! We're a creative agency that specializes in video/photo stuff for commercial work, but this is not a paid advertisement. I got the desk and thought it would be a good idea to do a before and after with my honest opinion. I spent a long time searching for a good standing desk and came up empty a lot. Most of them were very cheap looking. I watched a TON of reviews, read every article I could find and put together list after list with prices and specs. I settled on this one for a number of reasons, the primary one being that it checked all my boxes from the quality top to the rep of the company backing it. The warranty that it comes with is only as good as the company behind it. It wasn't a totally smooth journey after I got it, but I still love it. Uplift hasn't ever given us a dime and we don't have any contact with them (we tried to get a referral link but they declined) but I'm sure this video has sold them a lot of desks. They did put it in their newsletter way back when we first put the video out, but nothing aside from that.
@@Clockwork9 Ok I believe you and thanks for replying! I'm a natural sceptic and these days advertisers have gotten very good at hiding disguising their ads, in podcasts and so on.
@@shaymalus Totally feel that man, hate when people try to mask advertising as genuine opinions or speak on a topic then lead it into an ad. Our biggest core value here is authenticity in everything. It may view as almost an ad because of how much I gush about how I love it when in fact I really do love it that much!
Do you notice any wobble while typing or when you press on the front of the desk slightly? I recently bought a mojodesk and noticed when I lift my arms off the top my monitors and desk top wobble a little. Nothing major just enough to make me question my purchase.
I was looking at the underside and I'm worried about the monitor clamps i have. It sets in deep and has 2 hands screws to tighten. I also have a LONG power strip bar that I can mount, I'm wondering if all that space under the desk would accommodate it.
That reclaimed fir looks really amazing, what is the texture like? And also how did you attach the monitor arms? Isn't there not enough room on the back to use the clamp?
The texture is great. Smooth with a natural wood roughness to it that is softened by the coating. The monitor arms are clamped like normal arms, but the bar going across the back (and front) due to the 4 leg configuration makes it impossible to attach without first removing it.
I really like the Douglass Fir table top you chose. Today their website shows two options with fir. Reclaimed Fir and Rustic Reclaimed Fir. Which one would you say yours is?
Personally, I do not use the keyboard tray and am taking it off (I think!). It's just not my kind of setup for how I like to access things on my desk. I would probably say most ergo specialists would recommend something like that though with posture/hand placement etc, but for me it's not how I like to place my keyboard. -Andrew
Thank you Sandy! Basically I went with the upgraded desk controller (panel on front for more customized options) a keyboard tray (uninstalled since it was very wobbly) the deluxe cable management kit (comes with a holder that attaches underneath for a surge protector and some cable management items) rotating drawer option (can't install because it's impossible on this desk model, Uplift had no response and did not take a return) the two monitor arms and a free anti-fatigue mat.
@@Clockwork9 wow thank you so much! I’m about to pull the trigger on purchasing the desk and was overwhelmed with all the accessory options. That’s too bad the keyboard tray was nothing stable and they didn’t reply to you. Thank you again for the info!!
@@Cristina-nq2oc Unless you're getting it for the top, there are some other options within this price range that might be a better option. Options from Workrite Ergonomices, Autonomous and others have come a long way since I made this review. I think Uplift did a really phenomenal job with the reclaimed wood top.
Steelseries mouspad, Logitech MX Master 2s Mouse (now a 3), Wacom Intuos5 Pro, Saitech USB Hubs, Mbox 3 Mini (now an Audient iD4, much better DAC), Grado Labs SR60e headphones, Mathis Wireless Aluminium Keyboard (replaced with the far superior Apple aluminum keyboard). That's about it!
How were you able to attach your monitor arms? As I understand it, the 4 leg frame doesn't leave a whole lot of room between the back of the desk top and the crossbars that are underneath the desk.
Well tbh I loosened the back bar and kind of wedged them in there. With a solid wood top they told me the support bars weren't even necessary. I didn't know that until after we put it together and set it up and to take it apart and remove the bars was something I didn't want to do :D
It was far too floppy and it made me move so far from the desk with it extended. I much prefer my keyboard and mouse on the sturdy surface of the desk.
Great video. Someone posted elsewhere that on the 4 leg version they were unable to fit the clamps for the monitor mounts and were told by uplift to remove a support bar. Did you have this issue? If not, what monitor arms did you go with?
That's true, I had to remove the cross bar in the back but I kept the one in the front. That was what their support said to do. I went with the Uplift Pro arms, and they're great. Their reasoning was that since the top I had on the desk was so rigid, that I didn't really need the cross bars at all.
Clockwork 9 So I’m building V2 and the 80x30 came in broken on 3 pieces. From the grommet points on both holes. It was compressed recycled wood. . 😭😭🤢🤢🤢🤮. I Won’t know what will until Monday.

I just set up the UPLIFT L-shaped desk last weekend, also got the matching fixed table to match which gives me a large U-shaped work area.

5:13 I love that this is something to be mentioned about desks now lmao
The quality of this video is amazing
Anyone else notice the Tombow Fudenoske brush pens on the desk? Amazing pens and an amazing desk.
You noticed! They are really fantastic pens.
Clockwork 9 tell me about it 😂 I use them on a daily basis and I love them
I’m not sure if I’m going with this desk as I’m still researching on standing desks, but you definitely earned my sub. What a great quality vid. Nice background music with great video footages along with awesome contents. I will be enjoying any vid of your even if the topic isnt interesting if it is in this quality. Good work!
Thanks for the kind words!
@@Clockwork9 Thanks for the reply!
Quick question regarding the desk, how sturdy is the desk with the 4 legs?
Have you ever noticed any wobbles when you write something on a paper, type on a keyboard fast, or moving around the mouse quickly? I am a bit sensitive and my current desk wobbles which makes my monitors shake (texts move around slightly) just a bit when I am typing, and it drives me nuts :( It would be awesome if you can share your experience with us in terms of the sturdiness of the desk!
Thanks for your help in advance.
It’s quite sturdy. I will say with the monitor arms they do have an ever so slight wobble, but you have to really be hammering the keys. It’s there at times, but it’s really not that bad. Other than that, writing on it there doesn’t feel like any wobble and nothing else on the desk moves.
Clockwork 9 sweet! It’s quiet expensive but it seems like a good product! Again, thanks for the great review, and stay safe ;)
Thanks, you too!
TLDR: Uplift will not exchange a faulty leg on a 1 week old desk. They will not honor their 15 year warranty and I do not recommend them to a new standing desk user.
I don't often make comments like this but I had a recent Uplift Desk experience that has bothered me.
I decided to go with Uplift desks mostly because of the warranty and customer service experience that some spoke of, while I understand they are overpriced, quality and customer experience is important to me so I did not mind.
My desk arrived less than a week ago and the right side leg was faulty out of the box it makes a knocking sound when lowered and my desk shakes back and forth. My girlfriend who shared my office labeled it as "annoying" without me telling her there was an issue and I agreed. I contacted their customer service team and provided them with pictures and a video that they require for proof, in the video you can clearly hear the knocking sound but it is difficult to tell the desk was shaking (filmed on my iphone). Here is their response:
- "Good morning, I do appreciate the help. The warranty team did not notice an excess amount of movement or sounds. They did recommend if on carpet to loosen the Leveling Caps on the feet to give more support with the padding, and to possibly tighten the feet and legs. We do expect some movement in the desk. Please let me know if you have any questions or other details to share."
I adjusted the feet and the shaking and knocking persisted. I found it to still be an issue prevalent enough to bother my girlfriend and I as I transitioned the desk. I sent the video to my brother who said that his uplift desk did not make a similar knocking noise and shake while being lowered. I asked the customer service rep if the leg was covered under warranty as I am looking for a leg exchange not a new free leg. This was there follow up:
- "Good morning, The leg does have some sound as it lowers fully. The warranty team was unable to capture anything outside normal movement and sounds with the prior video. If you have any other details please let me know and I can help send it to the team to review. Please let me know if you have any questions."
They charge a premium price and do not offer premium customer service or a premium product seemingly. I am just looking to swap my leg for another and was willing to cover shipping but their team will not cover a week old desk under their 15 year warranty, if you are considering uplift I would absolutely not recommend their company and if you have questions before you purchase PM me I would be happy to answer.
Great review, I really enjoyed it. Must admit I loved your original desk too it looked beautiful.
Thanks Mike! We loved those desks too.
Just ordered a 2 legged VertDesk v3 Electric Sit Stand Desk w/ Voice Control 72x30. Shipping out in a couple of weeks. Wish me luck.
How'd that turn out? Liking it?
Clockwork 9 Yeah Man so far so good. I’m not handy at all and I was able to put it together. No problem. There is some wobble when the desk is at the highest point but nothing that impacts me working from that position. So far very happy with my purchase.
Desk looks great, however for that price it should have casters. Make it easier for people who have a physical challenge to move the desk.
Totally agree Eddie. I just checked because that makes sense and they sell casters as an option for $29 which seems fair to me. I don't move my desk at all, so never even considered them.
This desk is sick... I need to step up my game haha
Thanks, Andrew, for the great video!...Have you considered caster wheels?
Time lapse construction was super cool!
Am I taking crazy pills or did he never come back to the keyboard tray like he mentioned he would? I noticed he's not using it.
You are 100% right! I meant to talk about that but completely forgot to loop back around to it. In my case the keyboard tray is useless, it just puts you way too far away from the desk and the monitors and I like the desk space with the monitors pushed back. If you like the keyboard tray style working (turns out I hate it!) then it's great, very high quality but not more me. Should have put that in the review! -Andrew
@@Clockwork9 good to know, I'm probably going to buy this desk!
Totally recommend it! We’re going to be getting one of their whiteboard desks soon, kind of excited to see how that works out
@@Clockwork9 Did you get this? I am wondering about getting this top.
@@JohnLeMayIV Sadly no, Uplift was going to send us the whiteboard desk (among other things) to do a review on but they dropped off the face of the earth on that. We really wanted to check it out.
WOW-amazing video. I’ve been looking at getting one of these desks for a while now and this video really helped make up my mind. What was the verdict on the keyboard mount? I don’t think you got around to talking about it. Thanks for this!
It's sitting in my garage at home lol. It was pretty useless and flopped around like crazy when typing.
smooth AF~~~~ good job
I appreciate your review of this desk. I'm just starting my journey for a standing / height adjustable desk and Uplift is at the top of my list too. Could you share which monitor arms you ordered and from where? I like the way those look and may follow in your footsteps.
Those are Uplift branded, but I don't see that they sell those anymore. As long as you check what weight the arms can hold, any arm will be comparable.
Just ordered one of these I cant wait
You should have at least 1M subs
I thought u have atleast 100k subs, dang my guy, nice vid!!
Thanks Gerald, working on it! :D
Impressive review quality
Thanks Aziae!
Great review my guy!
Great video, I was hoping you'd get into why you didn't like the keyboard tray. When buying mine I am thinking about just using my already purchased humanscale keyboard tray, but in general I prefer to have my kb and mouse on the desk as you have it, I just can't find a keyboard tray that feels good.
Also, A+ quality so earlier into your channel, subscribed.
I meant to get into it, just completely slipped my mind. I felt the same way about every keyboard tray and I was hoping the Uplift one would be better, but it wasn't. I just hate keyboard trays in general, they flop around all the time and just generally feel very unstable, plus I prefer the placement up on my desk (as you do).
@@Clockwork9 my Humanscale one is very very stable with a nice zero titlt, the mouse platform is less than perfect. I used to drop the mouse a lot.
Really good review! Thank you for the video. From your own judgement: do you think it's possible to mount a 33lbs keyboard with a keyboard tray on the front of this desk without the desk getting wobbly while playing on it around 45" height? Thanks for your answer!
Thanks Karim! I'd imagine if you get a solid wood desk it would be pretty darn solid on there, the desk itself is pretty rock solid too. If this desk can't handle it, I doubt many could. Another consideration is their underslung rail system for mounting keyboard trays, it's nice. I took it off since I prefer to put everything on the surface, but it's a good keyboard tray for sure. The keyboard tray might get wobbly (which I don't like) but the desk is really solid with the solid wood.
This video is amazing, the quality is just mind blowing 😍 btw what monitor is that on the left?
Thanks Thomas! That is the very old LG 31MU97-B. I've had that monitor for about 6 years as of Jan 2021.
Amazing story, very well done!!
I never liked the look of the keyboard drawer offered from Uplift. I wonder if you could have simply pulled the legs off your old desk and still used it?
Love it. Next upgrade: a 49-inch super ultra-wide monitor to replace your 2 monitors 😊
Thanks! To pretend like I hadn't thought about that would be me lying to myself 😏Oh the $$...
Strongly considering this, even more now thanks to your review. You said you'd talk more about the keyboard tray but never came back to it. I noticed you weren't using it, so I'm very curious as to your thoughts. Thanks
Hey MaryLou! I got rid of the keyboard tray almost immediately. It just didn't sit sturdy enough, I don't think any keyboard tray will. I much prefer setting everything on the desk top.
Great review, this may be my next purchase. Also, what is the song in the background? Really makes the video.
Awesome review dude
man you know I've been looking for a stand up desk but a couple of things keeps me from just jumping in. 1) no type of drawers with the stand up desk and I just feel for the money you spend you're really getting nothing but a desk with a electric motor. 2) im kind of OCD and man all I see is them damn wires running everywhere lol! well I guess I could get some type of wire organizers or something. just my 2 cents anyway a great video and I'll probably check out their site but maybe ill wait until they start adding some drawers to them UPDATE! Umm I just went to the website and they do have a wide variety of options for naunces I mentioned above. WOW! super excited now maybe I'll get me a stand up desk after all. thanks Clockwork 9
Was going to reply with what you said in your update! Glad you found a solution. My wife situation is out of control lol. I ended up using drill in cable ties since the ones provided all came loose
@@Clockwork9 did you check out the uplift website they do have Cale organizers on the website and a couple of drawers also. one of the drawers even locks if you have the desk that's larger than the 48inch. I think im going to go ahead and order one especially being that you do also have the flexibility to add your own table top. so you don't have to have just an old bland top. Your top is nice though. appreciate the reply man but go back on there site they have quite a few options. again good review
@@jasontaylor2237 I did actually get a little half-circle drawer with the desk. I should have mentioned in the video that it did not fit because of the cross bars, which I thought was a pretty bad oversight on their part considering they sold it with the desk as an option. Double check with them that the drawer you get will fit with your desk.
really wish they had a 36" deep desk. 30" is juuuuust too short in the depth department
Need to know what other desks you have compared it to in the intro. Any new mattress is "the best I've ever used by far" if I've only used average mattresses.
Amazing quality review, thanks!
Am I alone in thinking that the production quality is so high on this video because its a paid advertisement ? Feels like an Ad, not a review
Thanks for the compliment! We're a creative agency that specializes in video/photo stuff for commercial work, but this is not a paid advertisement. I got the desk and thought it would be a good idea to do a before and after with my honest opinion. I spent a long time searching for a good standing desk and came up empty a lot. Most of them were very cheap looking. I watched a TON of reviews, read every article I could find and put together list after list with prices and specs.
I settled on this one for a number of reasons, the primary one being that it checked all my boxes from the quality top to the rep of the company backing it. The warranty that it comes with is only as good as the company behind it. It wasn't a totally smooth journey after I got it, but I still love it. Uplift hasn't ever given us a dime and we don't have any contact with them (we tried to get a referral link but they declined) but I'm sure this video has sold them a lot of desks. They did put it in their newsletter way back when we first put the video out, but nothing aside from that.
@@Clockwork9 Ok I believe you and thanks for replying! I'm a natural sceptic and these days advertisers have gotten very good at hiding disguising their ads, in podcasts and so on.
@@shaymalus Totally feel that man, hate when people try to mask advertising as genuine opinions or speak on a topic then lead it into an ad. Our biggest core value here is authenticity in everything. It may view as almost an ad because of how much I gush about how I love it when in fact I really do love it that much!
Do you notice any wobble while typing or when you press on the front of the desk slightly? I recently bought a mojodesk and noticed when I lift my arms off the top my monitors and desk top wobble a little. Nothing major just enough to make me question my purchase.
Amazing desk. You defo should get Herman Miller chair as an excellent addition to this fantastic desk! :)
We've been rocking Aeron chairs since day one! Couldn't live without them.
@@Clockwork9 ha! Love it!
Outstanding production quality. I just bought 1. What the music in the background?
I’ll find it for you. It was off of Artlist.io
I was looking at the underside and I'm worried about the monitor clamps i have. It sets in deep and has 2 hands screws to tighten.
I also have a LONG power strip bar that I can mount, I'm wondering if all that space under the desk would accommodate it.
Loved your video! I was wondering what ergonomic keyboard tray you have?
Today on "As The World Turns", finding a standing desk.
Can you provide information about the adjustable mouse/keyboard please?
That reclaimed fir looks really amazing, what is the texture like? And also how did you attach the monitor arms? Isn't there not enough room on the back to use the clamp?
The texture is great. Smooth with a natural wood roughness to it that is softened by the coating. The monitor arms are clamped like normal arms, but the bar going across the back (and front) due to the 4 leg configuration makes it impossible to attach without first removing it.
@@Clockwork9 Great thank you, I've made up my mind to grab it!
First desk looks good. It got personality i dig the first one but i like it longer with more steel or metal legs
I really like the Douglass Fir table top you chose. Today their website shows two options with fir. Reclaimed Fir and Rustic Reclaimed Fir. Which one would you say yours is?
This was the Reclaimed Fir top.
Do you use the keyboard tray? Just wondering if I truly need it or just put my ergo keyboard on the desk. I plan on getting a kneeling chair too.
Personally, I do not use the keyboard tray and am taking it off (I think!). It's just not my kind of setup for how I like to access things on my desk. I would probably say most ergo specialists would recommend something like that though with posture/hand placement etc, but for me it's not how I like to place my keyboard. -Andrew
Clockwork 9 I appreciate your response. Thx
Hello, was the decision to go with 4 legs because of stability? Do you notice any kind of wobble in your monitor arms while working with this desk?
The 4 legs was for stability. It helps but it doesn't eliminate wobble, especially when it's raised up significantly.
I haven't seen their 4 leg version, just the V2 options.
Just saw the price, this is where my poor behind ducks out! Take care everyone!
damn love the look of that wood, I wonder what stain they used to get that look. Unreal video! thanks
The footage was beautiful, I wish more detail was given to the types of accessories you went with
Thank you Sandy! Basically I went with the upgraded desk controller (panel on front for more customized options) a keyboard tray (uninstalled since it was very wobbly) the deluxe cable management kit (comes with a holder that attaches underneath for a surge protector and some cable management items) rotating drawer option (can't install because it's impossible on this desk model, Uplift had no response and did not take a return) the two monitor arms and a free anti-fatigue mat.
@@Clockwork9 wow thank you so much! I’m about to pull the trigger on purchasing the desk and was overwhelmed with all the accessory options. That’s too bad the keyboard tray was nothing stable and they didn’t reply to you. Thank you again for the info!!
@@Cristina-nq2oc Unless you're getting it for the top, there are some other options within this price range that might be a better option. Options from Workrite Ergonomices, Autonomous and others have come a long way since I made this review. I think Uplift did a really phenomenal job with the reclaimed wood top.
Nice setup! What are all the peripherals your working with here?
Steelseries mouspad, Logitech MX Master 2s Mouse (now a 3), Wacom Intuos5 Pro, Saitech USB Hubs, Mbox 3 Mini (now an Audient iD4, much better DAC), Grado Labs SR60e headphones, Mathis Wireless Aluminium Keyboard (replaced with the far superior Apple aluminum keyboard). That's about it!
How were you able to attach your monitor arms? As I understand it, the 4 leg frame doesn't leave a whole lot of room between the back of the desk top and the crossbars that are underneath the desk.
Well tbh I loosened the back bar and kind of wedged them in there. With a solid wood top they told me the support bars weren't even necessary. I didn't know that until after we put it together and set it up and to take it apart and remove the bars was something I didn't want to do :D
Great video. You never talked about the Keyboard Mount like you said you would lol. What was the issue with it?
It was far too floppy and it made me move so far from the desk with it extended. I much prefer my keyboard and mouse on the sturdy surface of the desk.
channel needs way more subs glad to be sub 300 until youtube ruins it
Thanks for the sub! Promise nothing is going to get ruined :D
Great video. Someone posted elsewhere that on the 4 leg version they were unable to fit the clamps for the monitor mounts and were told by uplift to remove a support bar. Did you have this issue? If not, what monitor arms did you go with?
That's true, I had to remove the cross bar in the back but I kept the one in the front. That was what their support said to do. I went with the Uplift Pro arms, and they're great. Their reasoning was that since the top I had on the desk was so rigid, that I didn't really need the cross bars at all.
Can’t believe I’m about to spend $1400 on a desk. 😢 But looks hella worth it. Quality.
Totally worth it if ya use it most days for years!
Clockwork 9 So I’m building V2 and the 80x30 came in broken on 3 pieces. From the grommet points on both holes. It was compressed recycled wood. . 😭😭🤢🤢🤢🤮. I Won’t know what will until Monday.
@@DjHAndzrReal Damn- How did it ultimately turn out? And which wood specifically did you get, "rustic reclaimed fir", or "reclaimed fir solid wood"?
