The StandDesk was created by millennials, is marketed right at millennials, and also has actually been demolished by millennials in excellent quantities. While it lugs a ten-year service warranty (the longest of any type of Chinese-made base), in this instance it’s not necessarily a dependable sign of the anticipated beneficial life of the lifting columns. For the rate, the StandDesk is a terrific lower-cost choice to the UpLift, Jarvis and also various other Chinese-made workdesks. Regardless of its security issues this is a far better product than the Autonomous SmartDesk or IKEA Bekant can ever intend to be, and also a good value generally. It’s the mid-priced offering in the wide classification of Chinese-made workdesks that is winning over clients from both its more affordable and costlier peers.

StandDesk Building, Configuration, and Devices

Constructing the desk is rather easy if you adhere to the thorough guidelines. Every one of the screws, screws, washing machines, and springtime washers been available in separate bags that are marked with their destination: table top, structure, as well as spares. There’s a consisted of hex device for securing all of the bolts into the frame, or, appear a hex little bit into your power device– simply be careful not to over-tighten.

Every one of the components have an excellent quality coating to them with rounded edges to stay clear of cut hands. Below is a shot of all the bolts that are fastened to the leg assembly– it’s not going anywhere!

Standdesk-Leg

The foot assembly also includes height-adjustable turning equipments to stabilize the front-to-back motion of the desk, which was really useful for the carpeted home office flooring. I’m also using a floor mat to shield the carpeting from chair wheel damage at sitting elevation, and press the chair back when I’m transitioning to standing elevation.

Standdesk-Foot

The deluxe controller was worth the investment. The switches are all variable pressure configured, meaning the backwards and forwards arrows will adjust the height by 1/10th of an inch with a single press, or continuously change the elevation by about 0.7 inches per 2nd if you hold the switch for two secs. The memory buttons are comparable in layout: push to remember the height setting, or hold the button down for 5 seconds to store a new elevation worth. I’m making use of button 1 for my resting placement and button 4 for my standing placement, which offers me 2 as well as 3 for anything I may require in the future.

Utilizing my Standdesk

I’ve been utilizing the new desk for a couple of weeks and have written down my preliminary impacts:

The motors are quiet but can be heard in the next area over. It takes possibly 25 secs for the desk to totally shift from resting to standing based on my presets.
I utilize an Ergotron side-by-side keep track of arm (specifically this LX design), triggering the desk to obtain a little rough when I change my weight against the keyboard. In hindsight, I need to have purchased the crossbar upgrade for my workdesk after figuring out the weight of my screens. If you prepare to do a double monitor arrangement, obtain the bar.

Due to the fact that gravity presses the discs in a human back, I need to increase the desk higher in the early morning as well as lower it at night.

An anti-fatigue floor covering is absolutely crucial for long duration standing. I bought an Octagonal mat from SmartCells, utilizing rubber “cells” that are pictured below.

Performance

In spite of any kind of troubles I might have had with the mobile or the cookie-cutter design, virtually every one of those problems washed away once I actually got down to using this point.

I didn’t think it was even feasible, the StandDesk in some way handles to be even more steady than the Jarvis, both at resting and also standing heights. The majority of days I such as to run my Jarvis at max elevation while pressed versus my wall; not always since it’s that unsteady, yet just because I want as much stability as I can get.

The StandDesk one ups the gambit even further, proving to be equally as constant on its own at standing elevation as the Jarvis is with wall support. This is all without the company’s bar enhancement, which they declare includes much more security when purchased as a part of the plan deal.When it pertains to weight resistance, the StandDesk shares yet even more stats with the Jarvis, being ranked for approximately 350 pounds of weight capability.

I’ve been making use of the desk for regarding 3 weeks currently for everyday work (and also complying with standing workdesk best methods), whether it’s keying out evaluations similar to this one from our desktop or a laptop computer from time to time. The desk holds up well versus non-coastered beverages, as well as the surface in addition to the desk still feels just as smooth and also slick as the day I opened it despite days of perspiring wrists wresting on it and also multiple clean downs with a cloth.

Though I never deliberately try to damage any type of desks as well hard, throughout some lighter tests (tossing a collection of secrets onto it from a range, as an example), it still stood up without a lot of visible indications of damages.

Last but not least, when I measured the sound result of the desk while it rose from a sitting setting to standing and also back once again, it was by far the quietest we have actually checked yet. I might hardly get it to make more than concerning 9.5 dB of sound, so if your biggest issue is the whirr of your electric motor, this is absolutely the one for you.

Customer support

Now, normally I do not include much concerning the customer service support of any type of offered business, only since I really feel that generally if a product functions the method its intended to, I should not ever have a reason to call them in the first place. And while I desire I could state that held true during my experience with StandDesk, I simply can not complete this testimonial without pointing out the countless, apparently limitless issues I came across trying to get my desk created.

For beginners, the desk I was sent out didn’t have any kind of memory phone included initially, which suggested I had no chance of in fact regulating the up/down feature on the desk itself. I contacted StandDesk concerning this issue, who returned to me around a day later on with an apology and a guarantee that a brand-new one would be shipped out quickly.

Standdesk testimonial handset

The resource of all our problems …
Concerning four days later a mobile phone got here in the mail. The mobile phone initially turned on, yet it had not been long prior to I observed that none of the programmable switches functioned, nor did the down switch, but for some reason the “memory” button dealt with the down feature just fine. I contacted the business again, as well as they apologized for the mixup and also stated they would have a new panel and also control box out to me within the week.

Over two weeks later my brand-new panel and also control box showed up. As soon as I installed them both the desk lastly started working the means it was expected to, however not after virtually a month of waiting and also to and fro with a firm that could not bear in mind to ship a core part of their product inside the exact same box from the beginning.

Points to Take into consideration

Regardless of its bankable functions, this stand desk additionally has its very own drawbacks. Considering that no singular stand workdesk can catch all of the attributes that you might need, you may think about these in your decision-making.

Lack of a Bar as requirement

Not having a supporting bar is certainly not a deal-breaker, particularly taking into consideration some of our other preferred workdesks such as the Fully Jarvis likewise don’t have one. In fact, this desk does have one if you desire, yet it is a paid add-on (a lot more on this later also).

The bar is seen by some as a hindrance, making it harder to place your legs easily below the desk. Others, on the other hand, locate that they supply included stability, usually important when desks are completely prolonged.

We have not read any type of complaints of the security of this desk, so we don’t think its something to really be worried concerning, although if you truly desired a workdesk with a bar then we suggest you have a look at the Varidesk ProDesk 60 Electric.

Alternatively, StandDesk does supply a different add-on bar that you can contribute to the desk yourself, just for an extra $49.95.

Security

The stability of a standing workdesk is one of the most vital elements of these desks. Without a steady desk you’ll discover it hard to concentrate, which might bring about you coming to be much less thinking about making use of the desk at standing elevation. To obtain the most effective return on your financial investment, you’ll wish to more than happy when using the desk.

Since the StandDesk Simple is the initial workdesk that I have examined with an optional cross assistance, I will break down my security tests into 2 areas. Both examinations will certainly consist of the regular front to back rocking test and an entrusted to best wobble. The first will certainly be without the cross support and also the secondly will be with it. Just to keep in mind, StandDesk.co says that the addition of the cross support can enhance security by as much as 15%. I have no idea just how they developed that number.

Without Cross Assistance

Left to Right: The wobble test was a different scenario. StandDesk Simple was the second desk that I examined that wobbled near the bottom with weight on the desktop. The first was the IKEA Bekant. By the time it reached 36″ the shaking movement misbehaved. Beyond this point it would certainly affect your work.

With Cross Assistance

Front to Back: Adding the cross assistance does not impact the rocking motion. The StandDesk Simple started to experienced a rocking activity at 36″. By 41″ the rocking movement misbehaved.

Left to Right: Including the cross assistance to the StandDesk boosted the wobble motion for lower elevations. With the cross support the wobble movement really did not begin till you reached 35″. By 39″ the wobble activity ended up being bad.

Keep in mind: It’s extremely important with adjustable standing workdesks to fully tighten all hardware. If there is hardware that is not entirely tight, the motion experienced when reached standing elevation will be overemphasized. This is specifically true with a workdesk frame that includes 32 screws, there are far way too many factors at which the desk has an opportunity to relocate.

Conclusion

Like all the Chinese bases we have actually evaluated in our laboratories, we need to narrow our referral on the StandDesk Pro to shorter customers with narrower desktop computers, as the stability just isn’t there for a large mass elevated high off the ground. American-made workdesks will be much better matched to these applications, as well as for a relatively obvious factor. Practically all American-made bases are made in US manufacturing facilities that are had by Swedish, Danish or German firms that created this industry, as well as their average citizens are a whole lot taller than the average Oriental consumer, so they started making longer-stroke training legs a very long time ago. And they have far more robot automation, laser-cutting devices, and sheer experience making standing workdesk bases, needless to say.

If you’re not also high, don’t have an extreme amount of hefty devices on your desktop computer, and do not need as well wide of a desk, the StandDesk Pro will certainly provide you excellent bang for your buck.

All that might transform with Yu’s promised StandDesk Pro 2.0 design that he anticipates to launch at some time in the future. Initially we were informed we ‘d see it by June 2018. Greater than a year later on it has yet to appear, and Yu states he’s had trouble obtaining the item top quality he needs out of numerous Chinese factories he’s attempted working with. The brand-new layout is apparently mosting likely to be much easier to put together and have a heftier crossbar style, to name a few improvements. He says the new base will certainly be supplied in both a “T-Leg” and also “C-Leg” arrangement, alleviating our worry regarding side-load stressing on the lifting columns.

If this new base ever concerns market we’ll update you right here. But we’re not holding our breath any kind of longer as the most current news on the firm is that Yu shut the small Los Angeles workplace and also has actually moved it to join with all its various other workers in southeast Asia.

In the meantime, a brand-new $399 standing desk with outstanding efficiency has actually been introduce through the brand-new joint endeavor in between US-based iMovR as well as China-based Eureka, the i1 electrical standing desk. While limited in size as well as shade alternatives, it has actually taken the mantle far from StandDesk’s long-ago standing as the best standing workdesk under $400.

The StandDesk was developed by millennials, is marketed right at millennials, and has been demolished by millennials in remarkable quantities. While it lugs a ten-year warranty (the longest of any type of Chinese-made base), in this situation it’s not always a reliable indication of the expected useful life of the lifting columns. For the rate, the StandDesk is an excellent lower-cost alternative to the UpLift, Jarvis and also other Chinese-made desks. In spite of its security issues this is a much better item than the Autonomous SmartDesk or IKEA Bekant could ever before wish to be, and a good value overall. It’s the mid-priced offering in the broad classification of Chinese-made workdesks that is winning over customers from both its more affordable as well as costlier peers.

Every one of the components have a top quality surface to them with rounded edges to stay clear of cut hands. Below is a shot of all the screws that are fastened to the leg assembly– it’s not going anywhere!

I’m also utilizing a floor mat to safeguard the carpet from chair wheel damages at resting height, and also press the chair back when I’m transitioning to standing elevation.

Standdesk-Foot

The deluxe controller deserved the investment. The switches are all variable stress set, indicating the backwards and forwards arrowheads will adjust the height by 1/10th of an inch with a single press, or continuously adjust the height by about 0.7 inches per 2nd if you hold the button for two seconds.

I didn’t assume it was even feasible, the StandDesk in some way handles to be even extra secure than the Jarvis, both at sitting and standing heights. Many days I such as to run my Jarvis at max height while pushed versus my wall surface; not always since it’s that shaky, yet just because I want as much security as I can get.

The desk stands up well against non-coastered drinks, and also the surface on top of the desk still really feels equally as smooth as well as slick as the day I opened it in spite of days of perspiring wrists wresting on it and numerous clean downs with a dustcloth.

Now, typically I don’t consist of much concerning the client service support of any type of provided business, only because I really feel that in general if an item works the method its meant to, I should not ever have a factor to call them to begin with. As well as while I desire I could say that held true during my experience with StandDesk, I simply can not complete this testimonial without discussing the various, seemingly countless problems I ran into attempting to get my workdesk assembled.

For starters, the desk I was sent out didn’t have any type of memory mobile phone included originally, which suggested I had no other way of really managing the up/down feature on the desk itself. I got in touch with StandDesk concerning this concern, who got back to me around a day later with an apology as well as a guarantee that a brand-new one would certainly be shipped shortly.

I got in touch with the business once more, and also they excused the mixup and said they would certainly have a brand-new panel and also control box bent on me within the week.

Over 2 weeks later my brand-new panel as well as control box arrived. Once I mounted them both the desk ultimately began working the method it was meant to, yet not after practically a month of waiting as well as to and fro with a firm that could not bear in mind to deliver a core element of their product inside the exact same box from the start.

Points to Consider

Lack of a Bar as criterion

Not having a supporting crossbar is absolutely not a deal-breaker, particularly taking into consideration a few of our other preferred desks such as the Totally Jarvis likewise don’t have one. Actually, this workdesk does have one if you want, but it is a paid add-on (much more on this later on too).

The crossbar is seen by some as a hindrance, making it more challenging to position your legs conveniently listed below the desk. Others, on the other hand, find that they provide included security, frequently essential when workdesks are fully extended.

We have not check out any kind of issues of the security of this desk, so we don’t think its something to actually be concerned concerning, although if you actually desired a workdesk with a crossbar after that we advise you have a look at the Varidesk ProDesk 60 Electric.

Stability

The stability of a standing desk is just one of the most essential facets of these workdesks. Without a secure workdesk you’ll find it difficult to focus, which might cause you becoming much less curious about utilizing the desk at standing height. To obtain the best return on your financial investment, you’ll want to be happy when using the desk.

Due To The Fact That the StandDesk Simple is the initial desk that I have examined with an optional cross assistance, I will certainly break down my stability tests into 2 areas.

Final thought

Like all the Chinese bases we have actually evaluated in our laboratories, we need to narrow our recommendation on the StandDesk Pro to shorter individuals with narrower desktops, as the stability just isn’t there for a big mass raised high off the ground.

In spite of any issues I might have had with the mobile or the cookie-cutter layout, pretty much all of those worries washed away as soon as I really came down to using this thing.

And also while I wish I can claim that held true throughout my experience with StandDesk, I simply can’t finish this review without mentioning the many, seemingly unlimited troubles I experienced trying to get my desk put together.

For beginners, the desk I was sent really did not have any type of memory handset consisted of originally, which meant I had no chance of really managing the up/down function on the desk itself.

Because the StandDesk Simple is the first workdesk that I have checked with an optional cross support, I will break down my security tests right into two areas.

Just to note, StandDesk.co states that the addition of the cross support can increase security by up to 15%. I have no suggestion just how they created that number.

Note: It’s extremely important with adjustable standing desks to totally tighten up all equipment. If there is equipment that is not completely limited, the movement experienced when reached standing height will be overemphasized. This is particularly real with a desk framework that includes 32 screws, there are much a lot of points at which the desk has an opportunity to relocate.

Final thought

Like all the Chinese bases we have actually tested in our laboratories, we need to tighten our suggestion on the StandDesk Pro to much shorter individuals with narrower desktop computers, as the security just isn’t there for a huge mass raised high off the ground. American-made workdesks will certainly be much better fit to these applications, and for a rather evident factor. Basically all American-made bases are made in United States factories that are owned by Swedish, Danish or German firms that invented this market, and also their ordinary residents are a great deal taller than the typical Asian customer, so they started making longer-stroke training legs a very long time back. As well as they have far more robotic automation, laser-cutting devices, and large experience making standing desk bases, it goes without saying.

If you’re not as well high, don’t have an excessive quantity of hefty tools on your desktop computer, and also don’t need too large of a desk, the StandDesk Pro will certainly give you good bang for your buck.

All that may transform with Yu’s assured StandDesk Pro 2.0 layout that he anticipates to release sometime in the future. Originally we were told we would certainly see it by June 2018. Greater than a year later on it has yet to emerge, and Yu states he’s had problem obtaining the item quality he needs out of numerous Chinese manufacturing facilities he’s tried dealing with. The new layout is supposedly going to be much easier to assemble and have a heftier bar style, to name a few refinements. He says the new base will certainly be supplied in both a “T-Leg” as well as “C-Leg” configuration, easing our issue concerning side-load stressing on the lifting columns.

If this brand-new base ever before involves market we’ll update you right here. Yet we’re not holding our breath any type of longer as one of the most current news on the company is that Yu shut the little Los Angeles workplace and has transferred it to accompany all its other workers in southeast Asia.

In the meantime, a new $399 standing desk with impressive performance has been present with the brand-new joint endeavor in between US-based iMovR and also China-based Eureka, the i1 electric standing desk. While restricted in size as well as color choices, it has actually taken the mantle away from StandDesk’s long-ago condition as the best standing desk under $400.

The StandDesk was produced by millennials, is marketed right at millennials, and has actually been gobbled up by millennials in outstanding volumes. While it lugs a ten-year warranty (the lengthiest of any type of Chinese-made base), in this instance it’s not always a reliable sign of the anticipated valuable life of the lifting columns. For the cost, the StandDesk is an excellent lower-cost option to the UpLift, Jarvis as well as various other Chinese-made desks. Despite its stability concerns this is a far better product than the Autonomous SmartDesk or IKEA Bekant could ever before want to be, and also a good value generally. It’s the mid-priced offering in the broad classification of Chinese-made desks that is swaying customers from both its more affordable as well as more expensive peers.

StandDesk Construction, Configuration, as well as Gizmos

Constructing the desk is quite easy if you follow the thorough guidelines. Every one of the screws, bolts, washers, as well as springtime washing machines been available in different bags that are marked with their destination: tabletop, frame, and also spares. There’s a consisted of hex device for fastening all of the screws into the structure, or, pop in a hex bit into your power device– just be careful not to over-tighten.

All of the components have a high quality coating to them with rounded corners to avoid cut hands. Below is a shot of all the bolts that are fastened to the leg setting up– it’s not going anywhere!

Standdesk-Leg

The foot assembly also includes height-adjustable turning equipments to maintain the front-to-back movement of the desk, which was extremely helpful for the carpeted office flooring. I’m also utilizing a floor mat to safeguard the carpeting from chair wheel damage at sitting elevation, and push the chair when I’m transitioning to standing elevation.

Standdesk-Foot

The deluxe controller was worth the financial investment. The switches are all variable stress configured, indicating the backwards and forwards arrows will change the height by 1/10th of an inch with a solitary press, or continuously adjust the elevation by about 0.7 inches per second if you hold the switch for two seconds. The memory buttons are comparable in design: push to recall the height setting, or hold the button down for 5 secs to store a brand-new height worth. I’m making use of button 1 for my sitting placement and also switch 4 for my standing position, which provides me 2 and also 3 for anything I might need in the future.

Using my Standdesk

I’ve been making use of the brand-new desk for a few weeks and also have listed my initial impressions:

The electric motors are quiet however can be heard in the following area over. It takes perhaps 25 seconds for the desk to completely change from sitting to standing based upon my presets.
I make use of an Ergotron side-by-side monitor arm (specifically this LX design), triggering the desk to get a little rocky when I change my weight versus the key-board. In knowledge, I ought to have purchased the crossbar upgrade for my workdesk after establishing the weight of my screens. If you plan to do a dual display arrangement, get the bar.

Due to the fact that gravity presses the discs in a human spinal column, I need to increase the desk greater in the morning and also lower it in the evening.

An anti-fatigue mat is definitely important for long duration standing. I purchased an Octagonal mat from SmartCells, utilizing rubber “cells” that are pictured listed below.

Performance

Regardless of any type of troubles I may have had with the mobile or the cookie-cutter design, basically all of those concerns gotten rid of once I actually got down to utilizing this thing.

Although I didn’t believe it was also possible, the StandDesk in some way takes care of to be a lot more stable than the Jarvis, both at resting and standing elevations. The majority of days I such as to run my Jarvis at max elevation while pressed versus my wall; not necessarily because it’s that shaky, yet even if I desire as much security as I can obtain.

The StandDesk one ups the gambit even additionally, confirming to be equally as steady on its own at standing elevation as the Jarvis is with wall support. This is all without the business’s bar addition, which they declare includes even more stability when purchased as a part of the bundle deal.When it comes to weight tolerance, the StandDesk shares yet even more stats with the Jarvis, being ranked for up to 350 lbs of weight ability.

I’ve been making use of the desk for about three weeks currently for everyday job (as well as following standing desk best techniques), whether it’s inputting out evaluations similar to this one from our desktop computer or a laptop periodically. The desk holds up well versus non-coastered beverages, as well as the coating on top of the desk still really feels just as smooth and also slick as the day I opened it despite days of sweaty wrists wresting on it and also multiple wipe downs with a rag.

Though I never ever intentionally attempt to dent any type of desks as well hard, throughout some lighter tests (tossing a collection of keys onto it from a range, for instance), it still held up without too many noticeable indications of damages.

Finally, when I determined the sound result of the desk while it increased from a resting setting to standing and also back once again, it was without a doubt the quietest we have actually evaluated yet. I can hardly get it to make greater than concerning 9.5 dB of sound, so if your greatest concern is the whirr of your motor, this is most definitely the one for you.

Customer care

Currently, usually I do not consist of much regarding the customer support support of any type of provided business, only due to the fact that I really feel that generally if a product works the method its supposed to, I should not ever before have a factor to call them in the first place. As well as while I wish I could claim that was the case during my experience with StandDesk, I merely can’t finish this review without stating the many, relatively countless issues I came across trying to get my desk put together.

For starters, the desk I was sent out didn’t have any memory phone consisted of originally, which implied I had no other way of actually regulating the up/down feature on the desk itself. I called StandDesk about this problem, who got back to me around a day later on with an apology and a pledge that a new one would certainly be shipped soon.

Standdesk testimonial handset

The source of all our issues …
Concerning 4 days later a mobile arrived in the mail. The mobile at first turned on, but it wasn’t long before I observed that none of the programmable buttons functioned, nor did the down switch, but for some factor the “memory” switch handled the down feature simply fine. I spoke to the firm again, as well as they excused the mixup and stated they would have a brand-new panel and control box bent on me within the week.

Over two weeks later my new panel and also control box arrived. As soon as I mounted them both the desk lastly started functioning the method it was intended to, but not after almost a month of waiting and also backward and forward with a company that could not keep in mind to ship a core part of their product inside the exact same box from the get-go.

Things to Take into consideration

Regardless of its bankable functions, this stand up workdesk also has its own downsides. Considering that no single stand workdesk can catch all of the features that you might require, you may take into consideration these in your decision-making.

Lack of a Crossbar as standard

Not having a supporting crossbar is definitely not a deal-breaker, particularly taking into consideration a few of our other preferred workdesks such as the Totally Jarvis likewise don’t have one. Actually, this workdesk does have one if you desire, however it is a paid add-on (more on this later on too).

The bar is seen by some as a limitation, making it more difficult to put your legs pleasantly listed below the desk. Others, on the other hand, find that they offer included security, typically vital when workdesks are totally extended.

We have not review any type of problems of the security of this workdesk, so we do not think its something to really be concerned about, although if you actually desired a desk with a crossbar after that we advise you have a look at the Varidesk ProDesk 60 Electric.

Additionally, StandDesk does offer a separate add-on bar that you can include in the desk on your own, just for an added $49.95.

Security

The stability of a standing desk is among the most essential elements of these desks. Without a steady workdesk you’ll find it hard to concentrate, which can bring about you ending up being less curious about utilizing the desk at standing height. To obtain the most effective return on your investment, you’ll intend to enjoy when utilizing the desk.

Since the StandDesk Simple is the initial workdesk that I have actually evaluated with an optional cross assistance, I will certainly break down my stability examinations into two areas. Both examinations will consist of the common front to back shaking test as well as a delegated appropriate wobble. The first will certainly lack the cross support and also the second will certainly be with it. Just to keep in mind, StandDesk.co says that the addition of the cross support can raise security by approximately 15%. I have no concept exactly how they generated that number.

Without Cross Support

Left to Right: The wobble test was a various circumstance. StandDesk Simple was the 2nd workdesk that I checked that tottered at the bottom with weight on the desktop computer. The first was the IKEA Bekant. By the time it reached 36″ the rocking activity misbehaved. Beyond this factor it would impact your job.

With Cross Support

Front to Back: Including the cross assistance does not influence the shaking movement. The StandDesk Simple started to experienced a shaking movement at 36″. By 41″ the shaking movement was bad.

Delegated Right: Adding the cross assistance to the StandDesk enhanced the wobble movement for lower elevations. With the cross assistance the wobble motion really did not start until you got to 35″. By 39″ the wobble activity came to be bad.

Keep in mind: It’s extremely essential with adjustable standing workdesks to completely tighten up all hardware. If there is hardware that is not completely tight, the activity experienced when extended to standing height will be overemphasized. This is especially real with a workdesk structure that consists of 32 bolts, there are much a lot of points at which the desk has a possibility to move.

Final thought

Like all the Chinese bases we’ve evaluated in our labs, we need to narrow our recommendation on the StandDesk Pro to shorter customers with narrower desktops, as the security simply isn’t there for a huge mass raised high off the ground. American-made workdesks will be better suited to these applications, and for a rather noticeable factor. Practically all American-made bases are made in United States manufacturing facilities that are possessed by Swedish, Danish or German business that developed this industry, and also their typical people are a whole lot taller than the ordinary Oriental customer, so they began making longer-stroke training legs a very long time back. And also they have far more robotic automation, laser-cutting equipment, and also large experience making standing workdesk bases, it goes without saying.

If you’re not as well tall, don’t have an extreme quantity of hefty equipment on your desktop, and also do not need as well vast of a workdesk, the StandDesk Pro will certainly provide you great bang for your buck.

All that might alter with Yu’s promised StandDesk Pro 2.0 layout that he expects to launch at some point in the future. Initially we were informed we would certainly see it by June 2018. Greater than a year later on it has yet to materialize, as well as Yu states he’s had difficulty getting the product high quality he requires out of numerous Chinese manufacturing facilities he’s attempted working with. The brand-new design is supposedly mosting likely to be a lot easier to assemble as well as have a heftier crossbar design, among other refinements. He says the new base will be supplied in both a “T-Leg” and also “C-Leg” configuration, relieving our problem concerning side-load emphasizing on the lifting columns.

If this brand-new base ever involves market we’ll update you below. We’re not holding our breath any type of longer as the most current information on the company is that Yu shut the small Los Angeles office and also has actually relocated it to join with all its various other employees in southeast Asia.

In the meantime, a brand-new $399 standing workdesk with excellent efficiency has actually been introduce via the new joint endeavor between US-based iMovR as well as China-based Eureka, the i1 electric standing desk. While restricted in size as well as shade alternatives, it has taken the mantle away from StandDesk’s long-ago standing as the very best standing desk under $400.
