The StandDesk was developed by millennials, is marketed directly at millennials, and also has been demolished by millennials in outstanding quantities. While it brings a ten-year service warranty (the longest of any Chinese-made base), in this instance it’s not always a trusted indicator of the anticipated helpful life of the training columns. For the price, the StandDesk is an excellent lower-cost alternative to the UpLift, Jarvis as well as other Chinese-made desks. Despite its security concerns this is a much better product than the Autonomous SmartDesk or IKEA Bekant can ever wish to be, as well as a good value generally. It’s the mid-priced offering in the broad group of Chinese-made desks that is winning over clients from both its more affordable and more expensive peers.

StandDesk Construction, Configuration, and also Gadgets

Building the desk is quite easy if you adhere to the detailed instructions. Every one of the screws, bolts, washers, and spring washers come in different bags that are noted with their destination: tabletop, frame, and also spares. There’s an included hex tool for attaching every one of the bolts right into the frame, or, appear a hex little bit right into your power tool– simply take care not to over-tighten.

Every one of the parts have a high quality finish to them with rounded corners to prevent cut hands. Below is a shot of all the bolts that are attached to the leg setting up– it’s not going anywhere!

Standdesk-Leg

The foot setting up likewise includes height-adjustable turning equipments to support the front-to-back activity of the desk, which was really handy for the carpeted home office floor. I’m also utilizing a floor mat to safeguard the carpet from chair wheel damages at resting elevation, as well as push the chair when I’m transitioning to standing elevation.

Standdesk-Foot

The luxurious controller deserved the investment. The switches are all variable stress programmed, indicating the up and down arrows will change the elevation by 1/10th of an inch with a single press, or continually readjust the elevation by about 0.7 inches per 2nd if you hold the button for 2 secs. The memory buttons are comparable in style: press to recall the height setup, or hold the button down for five seconds to store a brand-new height worth. I’m using button 1 for my sitting setting and button 4 for my standing setting, which provides me 2 as well as 3 for anything I could need in the future.

Using my Standdesk

I have actually been utilizing the brand-new workdesk for a few weeks as well as have jotted down my first impacts:

The electric motors are quiet but can be listened to in the next room over. It takes perhaps 25 secs for the desk to fully shift from resting to standing based upon my presets.
I utilize an Ergotron side-by-side check arm (especially this LX design), creating the desk to get a little rough when I move my weight against the keyboard. In hindsight, I must have bought the crossbar upgrade for my desk after figuring out the weight of my displays. If you intend to do a twin display setup, obtain the crossbar.

Due to the fact that gravity presses the discs in a human back, I require to raise the desk greater in the morning as well as lower it at night.

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

Efficiency

Despite any issues I may have had with the phone or the cookie-cutter layout, practically every one of those issues gotten rid of once I actually got down to using this thing.

I didn’t assume it was also possible, the StandDesk somehow handles to be also more secure than the Jarvis, both at sitting as well as standing heights. Most days I such as to run my Jarvis at max elevation while pressed versus my wall; not necessarily due to the fact that it’s that shaky, but just because I desire as much security as I can obtain.

The StandDesk one ups the gambit also better, confirming to be just as consistent on its own at standing elevation as the Jarvis is with wall support. This is all without the company’s crossbar enhancement, which they assert adds even more security when bought as a part of the package deal.When it concerns weight tolerance, the StandDesk shares yet even more stats with the Jarvis, being rated for as much as 350 pounds of weight capability.

I’ve been using the desk for regarding 3 weeks now for daily job (and adhering to standing desk finest methods), whether it’s keying out reviews like this one from our desktop computer or a laptop computer periodically. The desk holds up well against non-coastered drinks, and the surface in addition to the desk still really feels equally as smooth and slick as the day I opened it despite days of perspiring wrists wresting on it as well as numerous clean downs with a cloth.

I never intentionally attempt to dent any kind of desks also hard, during some lighter tests (throwing a collection of tricks onto it from a distance, for example), it still held up without as well numerous noticeable indicators of damages.

When I measured the noise output of the workdesk while it increased from a resting placement to standing and back again, it was by far the quietest we have actually tested. I could 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 support

Now, typically I don’t consist of much concerning the customer care assistance of any kind of provided firm, only because I really feel that as a whole if an item works the method its intended to, I should not ever have a reason to call them in the first place. And while I wish I could say that held true throughout my experience with StandDesk, I merely can not complete this evaluation without stating the various, seemingly unlimited issues I came across attempting to obtain my workdesk created.

For starters, the desk I was sent out didn’t have any memory handset consisted of initially, which suggested I had no other way of in fact managing the up/down function on the desk itself. I got in touch with StandDesk about this problem, who got back to me around a day later with an apology and also a pledge that a brand-new one would be shipped out soon.

Standdesk testimonial handset

The resource of all our troubles …
Concerning 4 days later on a handset arrived in the mail. The handset initially activated, yet it had not been long before I noticed that none of the programmable switches worked, neither did the down switch, however, for some reason the “memory” button managed the down function just fine. I spoke to the firm once again, and also they excused the mixup and also said they would certainly have a brand-new panel as well as control box out to me within the week.

Over two weeks later on my new panel and control box arrived. Once I installed them both the desk lastly began functioning the way it was intended to, however not after nearly a month of waiting and back and forth with a business that could not remember to ship a core component of their product inside the exact same box from the beginning.

Things to Take into consideration

Despite its bankable features, this stand desk likewise has its own downsides. Given that no singular stand workdesk could catch all of the features that you may require, you might think about these in your decision-making.

Absence of a Crossbar as requirement

Not having a supporting bar is certainly not a deal-breaker, particularly considering a few of our various other preferred desks such as the Totally Jarvis also do not have one. This desk does have one if you desire, yet it is a paid add-on (a lot more on this later on as well).

The crossbar is seen by some as a limitation, making it tougher to position your legs pleasantly listed below the desk. Others, on the other hand, discover that they provide added stability, usually vital when workdesks are completely prolonged.

We have not review any type of problems of the stability of this desk, so we don’t think its something to actually be concerned about, although if you actually wanted a workdesk with a crossbar after that we advise you take a look at the Varidesk ProDesk 60 Electric.

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

Stability

The stability of a standing desk is just one of the most important facets of these workdesks. Without a secure workdesk you’ll discover it tough to focus, which can bring about you becoming less curious about utilizing the desk at standing elevation. To get the best return on your investment, you’ll wish to enjoy when using the desk.

Because the StandDesk Simple is the initial workdesk that I have examined with an optional cross support, I will certainly break down my security tests into 2 sections. Both examinations will certainly include the typical front to back shaking test and also a left to right wobble. The first will lack the cross assistance and also the secondly will certainly be with it. Just to keep in mind, StandDesk.co states that the enhancement of the cross support can enhance security by approximately 15%. I have no suggestion just how they thought of that number.

Without Cross Assistance

Left to Right: The wobble test was a various situation. StandDesk Simple was the second workdesk that I evaluated that tottered near the bottom with weight on the desktop. The very first was the IKEA Bekant. By the time it got to 36″ the shaking motion misbehaved. Beyond this point it would impact your job.

With Cross Support

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

Delegated Right: Adding the cross assistance to the StandDesk enhanced the wobble movement for reduced elevations. With the cross support the wobble motion didn’t begin up until you got to 35″. By 39″ the wobble activity came to be bad.

Keep in mind: It’s extremely vital with flexible standing desks to fully tighten all hardware. If there is equipment that is not completely tight, the motion experienced when extended to standing height will be overemphasized. This is especially true with a desk frame that includes 32 screws, there are much a lot of points at which the desk has a possibility to move.

Verdict

Like all the Chinese bases we have actually checked in our labs, we need to narrow our suggestion on the StandDesk Pro to shorter users with narrower desktops, as the security simply isn’t there for a large mass elevated high off the ground. American-made desks will be better suited to these applications, as well as for a fairly obvious factor. Essentially all American-made bases are made in United States factories that are had by Swedish, Danish or German firms that developed this market, and also their typical citizens are a lot taller than the average Asian customer, so they started making longer-stroke lifting legs a very long time earlier. As well as they have much more robot automation, laser-cutting tools, and also large experience making standing workdesk bases, needless to say.

If you’re not also tall, don’t have an inordinate quantity of hefty equipment on your desktop, and also don’t need as well large of a desk, the StandDesk Pro will give you excellent bang for your buck.

All that might alter with Yu’s promised StandDesk Pro 2.0 style that he expects to launch at some point in the future. Originally we were told we ‘d see it by June 2018. More than a year later it has yet to appear, and also Yu states he’s had difficulty getting the item quality he requires out of numerous Chinese factories he’s tried dealing with. The brand-new design is allegedly going to be much easier to construct and have a heftier bar design, to name a few improvements. He says the brand-new base will be offered in both a “T-Leg” and “C-Leg” arrangement, relieving our problem regarding side-load worrying on the lifting columns.

If this brand-new base ever pertains to market we’ll upgrade you below. We’re not holding our breath any longer as the most current information on the firm is that Yu shut the tiny Los Angeles office and has moved it to join with all its various other employees in southeast Asia.

In the meantime, a brand-new $399 standing workdesk with impressive efficiency has been introduce via the new joint venture in between US-based iMovR and also China-based Eureka, the i1 electric standing desk. While limited in dimension as well as shade choices, it has taken the mantle away from StandDesk’s long-ago standing as the very best standing workdesk under $400.

The StandDesk was developed by millennials, is marketed right at millennials, and also has been gobbled up by millennials in outstanding quantities. While it lugs a ten-year warranty (the longest of any type of Chinese-made base), in this case it’s not necessarily a reliable sign of the expected helpful life of the training columns. For the price, the StandDesk is a great lower-cost option to the UpLift, Jarvis and also other Chinese-made workdesks. In spite of its stability concerns this is a far better item than the Autonomous SmartDesk or IKEA Bekant can ever before intend to be, and also a good value on the whole. It’s the mid-priced offering in the wide group of Chinese-made desks that is gaining customers from both its less costly and more expensive peers.

There’s a consisted of hex tool for attaching every one of the bolts into the frame, or, pop in a hex bit right into your power tool– just beware not to over-tighten.

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

The foot setting up additionally consists of height-adjustable turning gears to maintain the front-to-back motion of the desk, which was very practical for the carpeted office floor. I’m additionally making use of a flooring mat to protect the carpet from chair wheel damage at sitting elevation, and also push the chair back when I’m transitioning to standing height.

Standdesk-Foot

The deluxe controller deserved the investment. The switches are all variable pressure set, indicating the up and down arrowheads will certainly change the elevation by 1/10th of an inch with a single press, or constantly adjust the height by about 0.7 inches per second if you hold the switch for two secs. The memory buttons are similar in style: press to remember the height setting, or hold the button down for five seconds to save a new elevation value.

Like all the Chinese bases we have actually examined in our laboratories, we have to narrow our recommendation on the StandDesk Pro to shorter users with narrower desktop computers, as the security simply isn’t there for a large mass raised high off the ground. American-made desks will be much better matched to these applications, and for a rather obvious factor. Essentially all American-made bases are made in United States manufacturing facilities that are owned by Swedish, Danish or German companies that developed this industry, and also their typical citizens are a great deal taller than the typical Eastern customer, so they began making longer-stroke lifting legs a long time back. And also they have even more robotic automation, laser-cutting devices, and sheer experience making standing workdesk bases, it goes without saying.

However if you’re not as well high, do not have an extreme quantity of heavy devices on your desktop, and also do not need as well wide of a workdesk, the StandDesk Pro will certainly give you good value.

All that could change with Yu’s guaranteed StandDesk Pro 2.0 layout that he expects to launch at some time in the future. Initially we were told we would certainly see it by June 2018. More than a year later it has yet to appear, and Yu states he’s had problem getting the item top quality he needs out of several Chinese manufacturing facilities he’s attempted working with. The brand-new design is allegedly going to be a lot easier to assemble and also have a heftier bar style, to name a few refinements. He states the new base will be provided in both a “T-Leg” and also “C-Leg” setup, relieving our worry about side-load worrying on the lifting columns.

If this brand-new base ever before pertains to market we’ll upgrade you below. But we’re not holding our breath any kind of longer as one of the most recent news on the business is that Yu closed the tiny Los Angeles workplace and also has moved it to accompany all its various other workers in southeast Asia.

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

The StandDesk was produced by millennials, is marketed directly at millennials, and also has been gobbled up by millennials in impressive volumes. While it brings a ten-year warranty (the lengthiest of any Chinese-made base), in this instance it’s not always a dependable indicator of the anticipated useful life of the training columns. But also for the cost, the StandDesk is a terrific lower-cost option to the UpLift, Jarvis and various other Chinese-made desks. Regardless of its security concerns this is a much better product than the Autonomous SmartDesk or IKEA Bekant could ever before intend to be, and a good value on the whole. It’s the mid-priced offering in the broad classification of Chinese-made desks that is winning over customers from both its more affordable and also costlier peers.

StandDesk Construction, Configuration, and also Devices

Constructing the desk is quite direct if you adhere to the detailed instructions. Every one of the screws, bolts, washing machines, as well as spring washers come in separate bags that are marked with their destination: tabletop, framework, and also spares. There’s a consisted of hex device for securing all of the screws into the frame, or, appear a hex little bit into your power tool– just beware not to over-tighten.

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

Standdesk-Leg

The foot setting up likewise includes height-adjustable rotation equipments to support the front-to-back activity of the desk, which was very useful for the carpeted home office floor. I’m additionally making use of a floor mat to secure the rug from chair wheel damage at resting height, as well as push the chair back when I’m transitioning to standing height.

Standdesk-Foot

The deluxe controller was worth the investment. The buttons are all variable stress set, suggesting the backwards and forwards arrows will readjust the elevation by 1/10th of an inch with a single press, or constantly change the elevation by around 0.7 inches per 2nd if you hold the switch for 2 secs. The memory buttons are similar in layout: press to remember the height setting, or hold the button down for 5 seconds to store a brand-new elevation value. I’m making use of switch 1 for my sitting placement and switch 4 for my standing position, which offers me 2 and 3 for anything I may need in the future.

Utilizing my Standdesk

I’ve been making use of the new workdesk for a few weeks and also have actually jotted down my initial impressions:

The motors are quiet but can be heard in the next room over. It takes possibly 25 secs for the desk to completely shift from resting to standing based on my presets.
I use an Ergotron side-by-side keep an eye on arm (specifically this LX design), creating the desk to get a little rocky when I move my weight versus the keyboard. In knowledge, I ought to have bought the crossbar upgrade for my workdesk after determining the weight of my displays. If you plan to do a dual display arrangement, obtain the bar.

Because gravity presses the discs in a human back, I require to elevate the desk higher in the early morning and also lower it at night.

An anti-fatigue floor covering is definitely important for long duration standing. I bought an Octagonal mat from SmartCells, using rubber “cells” that are imagined below.

Performance

In spite of any type of problems I might have had with the phone or the cookie-cutter design, basically every one of those worries removed when I in fact came down to utilizing this thing.

Although I really did not believe it was also possible, the StandDesk somehow takes care of to be a lot more stable than the Jarvis, both at resting and also standing elevations. The majority of days I like to run my Jarvis at max height while pushed versus my wall surface; not necessarily since it’s that wobbly, however just because I desire as much security as I can obtain.

The StandDesk one ups the gambit even further, confirming to be equally as stable on its own at standing elevation as the Jarvis is with wall support. This is all without the business’s crossbar addition, which they assert adds a lot more stability when bought as a part of the bundle deal.When it pertains to weight resistance, the StandDesk shares yet much more statistics with the Jarvis, being ranked for as much as 350 lbs of weight capacity.

I’ve been utilizing the desk for regarding three weeks now for day-to-day work (and complying with standing workdesk ideal methods), whether it’s typing out testimonials like this one from our desktop computer or a laptop computer every so often. The desk stands up well against non-coastered beverages, and also the coating in addition to the desk still really feels equally as smooth and also slick as the day I opened it regardless of days of sweaty wrists wresting on it and also several wipe downs with a cloth.

I never ever intentionally try to damage any workdesks as well hard, during some lighter tests (throwing a collection of keys onto it from a range, for example), it still held up without too several noticeable indications of damage.

When I gauged the sound result of the desk while it increased from a sitting placement to standing as well as back once again, it was by far the quietest we have actually tested. I can barely get it to make greater than concerning 9.5 dB of noise, so if your largest problem is the whirr of your electric motor, this is certainly the one for you.

Customer care

Currently, generally I don’t consist of much regarding the customer service support of any kind of offered business, just since I really feel that as a whole if an item works the method its expected to, I should not ever before have a factor to call them to begin with. And while I desire I might say that was the case throughout my experience with StandDesk, I merely can’t finish this review without mentioning the countless, seemingly countless issues I encountered attempting to obtain my desk assembled.

For beginners, the desk I was sent out didn’t have any type of memory mobile consisted of 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 regarding this problem, that got back to me around a day later on with an apology and also a pledge that a new one would be shipped quickly.

Standdesk review handset

The resource of all our problems …
Regarding 4 days later a phone got here in the mail. The mobile initially switched on, but it wasn’t long prior to I observed that none of the programmable buttons worked, neither did the down switch, however, for some factor the “memory” switch managed the down function just fine. I got in touch with the company again, and also they excused the mixup as well as stated they would certainly have a brand-new panel and also control box bent on me within the week.

Over 2 weeks later on my new panel and also control box got here. Once I installed them both the desk ultimately began working the means it was meant to, but not after almost a month of waiting as well as back and forth with a business that could not bear in mind to ship a core element of their product inside the same box from the start.

Things to Take into consideration

Despite its bankable features, this stand up desk additionally has its own downsides. Since no singular stand workdesk might record all of the features that you may need, you might consider these in your decision-making.

Lack of a Bar as requirement

Not having a maintaining crossbar is absolutely not a deal-breaker, especially considering several of our various other favorite workdesks such as the Completely Jarvis additionally don’t have one. This workdesk does have one if you want, yet it is a paid add-on (more on this later on too).

The crossbar is seen by some as a limitation, making it tougher to position your legs pleasantly listed below the desk. Others, on the other hand, discover that they supply included security, usually critical when desks are totally extended.

We have not check out any complaints of the security of this workdesk, so we do not think its something to actually be worried about, although if you actually desired a workdesk with a bar after that we suggest you take a look at the Varidesk ProDesk 60 Electric.

StandDesk does offer a separate add-on crossbar that you can include to the workdesk yourself, simply for an additional $49.95.

Security

The stability of a standing workdesk is among the most important elements of these workdesks. Without a steady workdesk you’ll find it tough to focus, which could result in you coming to be much less curious about making use of the desk at standing height. To obtain the most effective return on your investment, you’ll wish to more than happy when utilizing the desk.

Due To The Fact That the StandDesk Simple is the very first desk that I have tested with an optional cross assistance, I will break down my stability tests right into 2 sections. Both examinations will certainly consist of the typical front to back rocking examination and also an entrusted to right wobble. The very first will be without the cross assistance and also the second will be with it. Just to note, StandDesk.co says that the enhancement of the cross support can enhance security by approximately 15%. I have no concept just how they created that number.

Without Cross Assistance

Left to Right: The wobble examination was a various scenario. StandDesk Simple was the 2nd desk that I evaluated that wobbled at the bottom with weight on the desktop computer. The first was the IKEA Bekant. By the time it got to 36″ the rocking movement was bad. Beyond this factor it would certainly impact your job.

With Cross Assistance

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

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

Note: It’s extremely crucial with adjustable standing workdesks to fully tighten up all hardware. If there is equipment that is not entirely limited, the activity experienced when reached standing height will be exaggerated. This is specifically true with a desk frame that includes 32 screws, there are much too many points at which the desk has a possibility to relocate.

Verdict

Like all the Chinese bases we have actually evaluated in our laboratories, we have to narrow our recommendation on the StandDesk Pro to much shorter users with narrower desktop computers, as the security simply isn’t there for a huge mass raised high off the ground. American-made desks will certainly be much better suited to these applications, and for a relatively apparent reason. Virtually all American-made bases are made in US factories that are possessed by Swedish, Danish or German companies that created this industry, and also their average people are a lot taller than the average Asian customer, so they started making longer-stroke lifting legs a long period of time earlier. And they have far more robot automation, laser-cutting equipment, and sheer experience making standing desk bases, obviously.

If you’re not as well tall, do not have an extreme amount of heavy tools on your desktop computer, as well as don’t require as well broad of a desk, the StandDesk Pro will certainly offer you great bang for your dollar.

All that could alter with Yu’s promised StandDesk Pro 2.0 style that he anticipates to release at some point in the future. Initially we were told we would certainly see it by June 2018. More than a year later it has yet to appear, and also Yu states he’s had difficulty obtaining the product high quality he needs out of several Chinese manufacturing facilities he’s attempted dealing with. The new design is allegedly going to be much easier to construct as well as have a heftier bar design, among other refinements. He says the new base will certainly be used in both a “T-Leg” and also “C-Leg” setup, relieving our worry concerning side-load stressing on the lifting columns.

If this new base ever involves market we’ll update you here. However we’re not holding our breath any longer as one of the most current news on the company is that Yu shut the little Los Angeles office and has actually moved it to join with all its various other staff members in southeast Asia.

In the meantime, a brand-new $399 standing desk with excellent efficiency has actually been introduce through the brand-new joint venture in between US-based iMovR as well as China-based Eureka, the i1 electric standing desk. While restricted in size and also color options, it has actually taken the mantle away from StandDesk’s long-ago condition as the most effective standing desk under $400.
