- Just added the Uplift V2 Standing Desk to my home office. In this video, I will show you how I set it up, how it looks and functions, and my thoughts on the desk including whether there's detectable wobble at standing heights.

15:28 What is wrong with this guy? You can plug in a two-pronged plug into a three-pronged outlet. All wall outlets have three-prongs. How is this a negative?
I was thinking the same thing.....I'd rather have a 3 prong and not need it than having a 2 prong and needing 3!
Agreed. Lol
lol, no mercy...
Agreed. Really odd
I'm so glad someone said it. Not wanting a grounded outlet is one of the strangest complaints I have ever heard, its just plain better and safer.
I was so sick and tired of browsing through many standing desks reviews. Each review I watched from other people made me so confused because they made it fancy with lights and so on.
But you my friend, your review is excellent and just what I needed to hear. Thank you!
Enjoyed the review. You have a unique way of speaking, word choice, etc. Your voice has a great inflection to it and the way you speak evokes a calming cadence. Great job!
Thanks Rusty
I have had experience with both V2 standard and V2 Commercial frames, both of C-type. I currently own V2 Commercial for working at home. I think the Commercial version is more stable at higher height (especially above 40'') while at sitting height (about 30'' for me) the two versions are essentially identical in terms of stability. I am exactly 6' tall (182cm) and have had no problem like hitting the bar with my shins. However, something buyers should consider is that V2 Commercial is pretty heavy and bulky, making it hard to carry when moving. Also, the crossbar is visible and some may not like the look, not to mention that V2 Commercial is more expensive (+$80 as of now). If I could I would go with the V2 standard because I it was a real pain moving the V2 Commercial frame to a third floor apartment with no elevator.
Good to know, thank you. I feel you on the move
Thanks for the heads up!...Agree with you that the crossbar does not suit my location aesthetics...
Honestly the best review video on an uplift desk! Thanks.
16:00 - every two prong cord can be plugged into a three prong outlet. I’m not understanding the issue there.
The third prong is the ground. It's safe to ignore it if the lamp doesn't need it.
Two things: It seems to me that there is no harm having that grommet 3 prong. In fact, I prefer having all my outlets 3 prong, so I can use them for anything. Second, Can't you just fold that cable over itself before it goes into the snake? Doesn't seem like there are really any negatives here for that accessory.
You’re right Eric. I would agree now that I’ve had it a while. Good points there.
lol i also didn’t understand the complaint against the three prong. it’s better to have 3-prongs than not. you can still plug in a 2-prong into the 3-prong outlet
A good, honest review. I have the 80" (thanks work!) and can echo most points in this review. Well made and as a standing desk skeptic who started experiencing back pain from sitting, I love this desk.
Thanks for the input!

“Comparison is the thief of joy” guy said Jarvis so much, I forgot it was a video about the uplift desk
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.
They have 30-day free returns - why didn't you just send it back?
Thanks for the review. I wonder if you don’t notice any wobble because you’re flush against the wall. If we have monitor arms attached, the desk can’t be against the wall. Also why do you think having a three prong power adapter is bad? That’s way better. You can still plug a lamp into it.
Three prong simply gives you more options. If you have a drill, you can add a USB terminal easily. More important, how is your desk holding up?
Would the “T” shape legs provide more stability compared to the “C” shape?
Thank you for your review. It was worth watching from start to finish.
THANK YOU!
I read another review that the ANSI compliance couldnt be confirmed which causes a bit of concern.
Thanks for this honest review.
The Jarvis powered grommet also has a 3-prong outlet, but it only has one, and has a USB-C and USB-A. Looks like that grommet is the same price as the Uplift one.
What made you choose this as opposed to the jarvis? Also the Jarvis actually does have the upper wedge supports. That was the main reason i was gonna go with uplift first
Does it wobble at all at the sitting height?
Spent too much time on all the stuff and not enough on the stability of the desk.
Obviously they raised the price a lot. Yesterday (08/05/20) the Bamboo surface is the standard price, Rubber Wood top for additional $20. Today they raised $40 for Bamboo surface desktop, and $70 for the Rubber Wood!
I'm wondering why you didn't mount your power outlet, wouldn't it have looked neater?
You’re absolutely right. I hadn’t gotten around to it by the time I shot that video. In fact, it’s still on the todo list currently ha. But yes it should be done for sure.
I was considering this desk, and your video helps me a lot what to choose for those options! Thank you so much Travis!
Great to hear Kevin!
Nice review. I had a desk before but the under wire management didn't come with mine. I do want a slide out keyboard tray so the top is clean when I don't need the tray and I guess the 60 inch is a nice size but I guess I'd go for the 72 inch because I'd have my gaming set up on one end with my headphones....lol. Oh! another thing I forgot to mention, I got from amazon a clamp surge protector that had USB ports for charging and just attached it to the back.
I'm hesitating between the banboo or the laminate top. Any advice
Is this desk the lighter or darker bamboo?
Is this the hands down best standing desk that money can buy? I’m looking for a desk for work and gaming. What other brands would you consider to be leading in its class, or in other words world class?
I just assembled mine and it took 6.5 hours across two days. Travis didn't go for any options, such as the keyboard tray and the slim under-desk drawer. Once you get off the main path into some customization, the documentation quality drops way off. Parts of it were flat-out inaccurate; parts were non-specific (after several sentences specifying when to use a machine screw and when to use a wood screw, it says 'use another screw to attach the bumper'; which screw is another screw?). Worst of all, parts were self-contradictory, simultaneously telling you DO and DON'T do something. They are trying to work around several different desk models and the version I was going for simply lacked illustrations, so I could not tell -- even with online searches -- what the final assembly would look like.
The quality of the desk is fantastic; it arrived beautifully and carefully packed; customer service is friendly. But that documentation--- far below average. And since you build the desk upside down, that was most of a day on my hands and knees. Factor that into your buying decision; it turns into quite the core workout!
Thanks for sharing that Scott!
@Ne Ws I'll be getting my Uplift delivered in about month. Do you recall which screw it was? Hope I don't run into the same problem, thanks for the info!
It’s not there to be more sturdy...
Literally the next line of what he was reading... We’ve reduced unwanted desk movement, such as side to side or front to back wobble
Unwanted desk movement due to there not being any corner braces on the commercial frame which are found on the standard only.
@@TravisMedia you are absolutely wrong! It specifically says that the cross member adds more stability in the second paragraph. It has nothing to do with those braces. At least be accurate. People who are looking for the most stable desk and follow your incorrect review will end up with the wrong version.
@@malverdetx8582 On Reddit r/StandingDesk Uplift answers a lot of questions. Here's a quote from Uplift themselves when asked this question.
"Just looking at them, you immediately see one difference: the V2-Commercial model has a crossbar, and the V2 does not.
The V2 frame is designed with optimal stability in mind - it has 45 degree support brackets right underneath where the desktop sits. The majority of my customers are 100% happy with the V2.
The V2-Commercial frame is designed to meet BIFMA standards of the average individual’s height, so we lower the overall height range a few inches. In short: I recommend the V2-Commercial frame for individuals 5’2” and under, otherwise you will love the V2 frame and appreciate that extra leg room. You are good to go with the V2-frame. I am 6'3 and it gets higher than I would ever need.
The stability between the two is pretty negligible at average heights. They each have their strengths (V2 is a tad more stable at higher settings than the V2-Commercial, and vice versa for lower settings)."
Also, Deskhaus has their own TH-cam video (Which Uplift Desk Would I Buy?) comparison of the two where he demonstrates that the crossbar makes no difference in stability by loosening it and comparing.
All my laptops have 3 prong plugs. I don't even think 2 prong outlets would be safe because then people use those suicide adapters
Great review
I'm 6'3" as well. Looks like a nice desk! Are you still happy with it?
Sure am. Using it daily.
If you actually had better wire management you would not find an issue with the AC Plugs Y Point.
I ordered a desk from uplift. Did it come in two shipments? I only received one box so far . BTW great video really helped a lot.
Thanks bro
Hey Travis! So after however long it’s been would you still recommend this desk?
100%. Still works great and looks almost like the day I got it. I’m planning a follow up vid on the desk and monitor here in a few weeks.
Are you from the uk and how much is the shipping from the USA
how many of those sticky zip ties come with the standard package?
I had a bad experience with another standing desk and it was very wobbly. Any wobbly or sturdy issues?
Whats the better desk, Uplift V2 or Jarvis Fully?
I haven’t any experience with the Jarvis, sorry.
Any standing desk will wobble at standing height. Even 4 legged ones are not perfectly solid. Good thing is nobody stands up and shake their desk daily. Just buncha mouse clicks to get the work done
Drop the ldap bro
Is the bamboo hollow?
No
Stuck between this and the Vari standing desk 60x30 🤔
I am as well! What did you decide, and how is it going?
Great review thanks, but who doesn't have a drill!? lol
yeah go buy a drill!
found out its all from the same OEM so it doesn't even matter. it'll just come down to preference and no real price difference, your already spending a lot so why not go in a little more.
You sound like Will Smith when I can’t see you. Lol
😂
Wrong dude. It’s called a cross support. Check out desks at BTOD. They put both those desks to shame. And do wobble tests. They stand and surf on top of thier desks. Buts its german Made. Be prepared to pay
Do you think the UPLIFT Commercial frame would solve the wobble issue?
I have the 80by30 on Commercial frame. Frame uses the big wheel option. No Wobble.
@@iamintractable1805 i bought the 48*30 Commerical Frame for $100 extra i think well worth it because the leg are wider.
it's called a loom
edit: also, braces --> gussets
Nice review, but it's "height", not "heigth" :)
‘I don’t have a drill’ Who the hell doesn’t have a drill... bruh, go to Home Depot and get yourself a drill man...
Better With Rum Glad you found so much value in the video!
no wobble pls
holy shit
no wobble wobble wobble
