The StandDesk was developed by millennials, is marketed right at millennials, and has been demolished by millennials in outstanding volumes. While it carries a ten-year guarantee (the lengthiest of any type of Chinese-made base), in this situation it’s not always a dependable indicator of the expected useful life of the training columns. For the cost, the StandDesk is a terrific lower-cost option to the UpLift, Jarvis and also various other Chinese-made workdesks. Regardless of its stability concerns this is a far better product than the Autonomous SmartDesk or IKEA Bekant can ever intend to be, and also a good value on the whole. It’s the mid-priced offering in the wide group of Chinese-made workdesks that is winning over clients from both its cheaper and also pricier peers.

StandDesk Building, Configuration, and Gadgets

Constructing the desk is pretty simple if you follow the comprehensive directions. Every one of the screws, bolts, washers, and also springtime washers can be found in different bags that are noted with their location: table top, framework, and also spares. There’s a consisted of hex device for fastening all of the screws right into the frame, or, pop in a hex bit into your power tool– simply take care not to over-tighten.

Every one of the parts have a top 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 setting up– it’s not going anywhere!

Standdesk-Leg

The foot setting up also consists of height-adjustable rotation gears to support the front-to-back movement of the desk, which was very helpful for the carpeted home office flooring. I’m likewise utilizing a floor mat to safeguard the rug from chair wheel damage at sitting elevation, and push the chair when I’m transitioning to standing height.

Standdesk-Foot

The luxurious controller deserved the financial investment. The buttons are all variable stress configured, suggesting the up and down arrows will certainly readjust the height by 1/10th of an inch with a solitary press, or continuously adjust the height by about 0.7 inches per second if you hold the button for 2 secs. The memory switches are comparable in layout: push to remember the height setting, or hold the button down for five seconds to save a brand-new height worth. I’m utilizing button 1 for my sitting setting as well as switch 4 for my standing position, which provides me 2 and also 3 for anything I could need in the future.

Utilizing my Standdesk

I have actually been using the new desk for a couple of weeks and have listed my initial perceptions:

The electric motors are quiet but can be heard in the next space over. It takes perhaps 25 seconds for the desk to totally shift from sitting to standing based upon my presets.
I use an Ergotron side-by-side check arm (specifically this LX design), triggering the desk to get a little rocky when I shift my weight against the key-board. In knowledge, I need to have bought the bar upgrade for my workdesk after identifying the weight of my displays. If you prepare to do a twin display arrangement, obtain the bar.

Since gravity presses the discs in a human spine, I need to raise the desk greater in the morning and also reduced it at night.

An anti-fatigue mat is definitely vital for long duration standing. I purchased an Octagonal floor covering from SmartCells, making use of rubber “cells” that are envisioned below.

Performance

In spite of any troubles I might have had with the mobile or the cookie-cutter style, virtually all of those problems removed when I really came down to using this thing.

I didn’t assume it was even possible, the StandDesk somehow handles to be also more secure than the Jarvis, both at sitting as well as standing elevations. The majority of days I like to run my Jarvis at max height while pushed against my wall surface; not always due to the fact that it’s that unsteady, however just because I want as much security as I can obtain.

The StandDesk one ups the gambit also further, verifying to be just 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 includes even more security when bought as a part of the bundle deal.When it comes to weight resistance, the StandDesk shares yet much more statistics with the Jarvis, being ranked for approximately 350 pounds of weight capacity.

I’ve been utilizing the desk for concerning three weeks currently for day-to-day work (and adhering to standing workdesk ideal methods), whether it’s inputting out reviews like this one from our desktop or a laptop every so often. The desk holds up well against non-coastered beverages, and also the coating in addition to the desk still feels equally as smooth and also slick as the day I opened it despite days of perspiring wrists wresting on it as well as multiple clean downs with a cloth.

Though I never ever deliberately try to damage any type of desks also hard, throughout some lighter examinations (tossing a collection of keys onto it from a distance, for example), it still stood up without too many noticeable indicators of damages.

When I determined the noise output of the desk while it climbed from a resting placement to standing as well as back again, it was by much the quietest we have actually tested. I could hardly get it to make more than regarding 9.5 dB of noise, so if your biggest worry is the whirr of your electric motor, this is definitely the one for you.

Customer Service

Currently, generally I do not consist of much concerning the customer support support of any provided business, just since I feel that generally if an item works the means its meant to, I shouldn’t ever have a factor to call them to begin with. And also while I desire I could claim that was the case throughout my experience with StandDesk, I simply can not complete this review without stating the various, relatively limitless issues I encountered attempting to get my workdesk created.

For starters, the desk I was sent out didn’t have any memory mobile included initially, which suggested I had no other way of really managing the up/down function on the desk itself. I called StandDesk concerning this issue, that got back to me around a day later on with an apology and also a pledge that a brand-new one would certainly be shipped out quickly.

Standdesk evaluation handset

The resource of all our issues …
About 4 days later a phone arrived in the mail. The mobile phone at first activated, yet it had not been long prior to I saw that none of the programmable switches worked, nor did the down button, but also for some factor the “memory” button managed the down feature simply great. I contacted the company once more, as well as they excused the mixup and claimed they would certainly have a brand-new panel as well as control box bent on me within the week.

Over 2 weeks later my brand-new panel and also control box arrived. When I mounted them both the desk finally began working the way it was supposed to, yet not after nearly a month of waiting and 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 outset.

Things to Take into consideration

Despite its bankable functions, this stand up desk additionally has its very own disadvantages. Given that no singular stand workdesk could capture all of the functions that you might need, you might consider these in your decision-making.

Lack of a Crossbar as standard

Not having a stabilizing bar is definitely not a deal-breaker, specifically considering a few of our various other preferred desks such as the Totally Jarvis also don’t have one. This workdesk does have one if you desire, however it is a paid add-on (more on this later on too).

The crossbar is seen by some as an obstacle, making it more challenging to put your legs easily listed below the desk. Others, on the other hand, find that they supply included stability, commonly crucial when workdesks are completely extended.

We have not check out any type of issues of the security of this workdesk, so we do not assume its something to really be concerned regarding, although if you truly wanted a workdesk with a crossbar after that we recommend you have a look at the Varidesk ProDesk 60 Electric.

Alternatively, StandDesk does use a separate add-on bar that you can include in the desk yourself, just for an additional $49.95.

Stability

The security of a standing desk is among the most vital elements of these workdesks. Without a secure desk you’ll locate it tough to focus, which can result in you coming to be less thinking about making use of the desk at standing height. To obtain the most effective return on your investment, you’ll wish to enjoy when utilizing the desk.

Due To The Fact That the StandDesk Simple is the first workdesk that I have examined with an optional cross support, I will certainly break down my stability tests into 2 sections. Both examinations will consist of the regular front to back shaking test and a delegated ideal wobble. The initial will certainly lack the cross support as well as the secondly will be with it. Just to keep in mind, StandDesk.co says that the addition of the cross assistance can enhance stability by approximately 15%. I have no suggestion exactly how they thought of that number.

Without Cross Assistance

Left to Right: The wobble test was a different scenario. StandDesk Simple was the 2nd workdesk that I evaluated that wobbled at the bottom with weight on the desktop computer. The initial was the IKEA Bekant. By the time it reached 36″ the rocking motion was bad. Yet point it would certainly affect your work.

With Cross Support

Front to Back: Adding the cross support does not influence the rocking motion. The StandDesk Simple began to experienced a shaking motion at 36″. By 41″ the rocking movement misbehaved.

Delegated Right: Adding the cross support to the StandDesk enhanced the wobble motion for lower elevations. With the cross support the wobble motion didn’t start till you got to 35″. By 39″ the wobble motion came to be negative.

Note: It’s really vital with adjustable standing desks to fully tighten all hardware. If there is hardware that is not totally tight, the activity experienced when extended to standing elevation will be exaggerated. This is especially true with a workdesk frame that consists of 32 bolts, there are far a lot of points at which the desk has a possibility to relocate.

Final thought

Like all the Chinese bases we have actually examined in our labs, we need to narrow our suggestion on the StandDesk Pro to shorter users with narrower desktop computers, as the stability just isn’t there for a huge mass boosted high off the ground. American-made desks will certainly be much better matched to these applications, as well as for a relatively obvious 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, as well as their average citizens are a great deal taller than the ordinary Asian consumer, so they began making longer-stroke training legs a long time ago. As well as they have far more robot automation, laser-cutting equipment, and also large experience making standing desk bases, it goes without saying.

But if you’re not too tall, do not have an extreme quantity of heavy equipment on your desktop, as well as don’t need as well wide of a desk, the StandDesk Pro will offer you great value.

All that could change with Yu’s promised StandDesk Pro 2.0 layout that he anticipates to launch at some time in the future. Initially we were told we ‘d see it by June 2018. More than a year later it has yet to materialize, and Yu states he’s had difficulty getting the item high quality he requires out of a number of Chinese factories he’s tried collaborating with. The new design is apparently mosting likely to be much easier to put together and also have a heftier bar design, to name a few refinements. He claims the brand-new base will be supplied in both a “T-Leg” and also “C-Leg” arrangement, alleviating our issue about side-load emphasizing on the training columns.

If this new base ever involves market we’ll upgrade you here. However we’re not holding our breath any kind of longer as one of the most current information on the company is that Yu closed the small Los Angeles office and also has actually relocated it to join with all its various other workers in southeast Asia.

In the meantime, a brand-new $399 standing desk with outstanding performance has been introduce through the new joint venture in between US-based iMovR as well as China-based Eureka, the i1 electrical standing workdesk. While restricted in dimension and also shade options, it has taken the mantle far from StandDesk’s long-ago status as the very best standing desk under $400.

The StandDesk was created by millennials, is marketed straight at millennials, and also has actually been demolished by millennials in excellent quantities. While it carries a ten-year service warranty (the longest of any Chinese-made base), in this case it’s not necessarily a reputable sign of the expected useful life of the lifting columns. But 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 far better item than the Autonomous SmartDesk or IKEA Bekant might ever want to be, as well as a good value in general. It’s the mid-priced offering in the wide group of Chinese-made workdesks that is gaining customers from both its less costly and costlier peers.

StandDesk Building And Construction, Setup, as well as Devices

Developing the desk is quite easy if you comply with the in-depth directions. Every one of the screws, bolts, washing machines, as well as springtime washing machines can be found in different bags that are noted with their destination: tabletop, structure, as well as spares. There’s a consisted of hex device for attaching all of the bolts right into the frame, or, appear a hex bit right into your power device– simply be careful not to over-tighten.

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

Standdesk-Leg

The foot setting up also consists of height-adjustable rotation gears to support the front-to-back movement of the desk, which was really valuable for the carpeted home office flooring. I’m likewise utilizing a flooring mat to shield the carpet from chair wheel damage at resting height, and also push the chair back when I’m transitioning to standing elevation.

Standdesk-Foot

The deluxe controller deserved the financial investment. The buttons are all variable pressure set, indicating the backwards and forwards arrows will certainly change the height by 1/10th of an inch with a single press, or continually change the height by around 0.7 inches per 2nd if you hold the button for 2 secs. The memory switches are similar in design: press to recall the height setup, or hold the button down for five secs to store a new elevation value. I’m utilizing button 1 for my resting placement as well as button 4 for my standing placement, which gives me 2 and 3 for anything I may require in the future.

Utilizing my Standdesk

I’ve been using the brand-new desk for a few weeks as well as have jotted down my first perceptions:

The electric motors are quiet but can be listened to in the following room over. It takes maybe 25 secs for the desk to fully shift from sitting to standing based on my presets.
I make use of an Ergotron side-by-side keep track of arm (particularly this LX model), creating the desk to obtain a little rocky when I shift my weight against the key-board. In hindsight, I must have bought the bar upgrade for my desk after figuring out the weight of my displays. If you prepare to do a twin display setup, get the crossbar.

Since gravity presses the discs in a human spine, I require to elevate the desk greater in the morning and also lower it at night.

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

Efficiency

Regardless of any type of troubles I might have had with the mobile phone or the cookie-cutter design, practically every one of those concerns removed when I in fact came down to utilizing this thing.

Although I didn’t assume it was also possible, the StandDesk somehow manages to be a lot more secure than the Jarvis, both at sitting as well as standing elevations. Many days I like to run my Jarvis at max elevation while pushed against my wall; not always since it’s that shaky, yet just because I want as much security as I can obtain.

The StandDesk one ups the gambit also better, verifying to be equally as consistent by itself at standing elevation as the Jarvis is with wall support. This is all without the firm’s crossbar enhancement, which they claim adds even more security when bought as a part of the plan deal.When it involves weight tolerance, the StandDesk shares yet much more stats with the Jarvis, being rated for up to 350 pounds of weight capacity.

I’ve been making use of the desk for regarding 3 weeks now for daily work (and also adhering to standing workdesk ideal methods), whether it’s keying out reviews like this one from our desktop computer or a laptop computer every so often. The desk holds up well against non-coastered beverages, and also the finish in addition to the desk still really feels just as smooth and also glossy as the day I opened it regardless of days of perspiring wrists wresting on it and also numerous clean downs with a cloth.

I never deliberately try to damage any type of desks as well hard, during some lighter tests (throwing a collection of keys onto it from a range, for instance), it still held up without also many visible indicators of damages.

Finally, when I gauged the sound output of the desk while it rose from a resting setting to standing and also back once more, it was without a doubt the quietest we’ve examined yet. I could barely get it to make greater than regarding 9.5 dB of sound, so if your biggest issue is the whirr of your motor, this is absolutely the one for you.

Customer support

Currently, typically I don’t consist of much about the customer support assistance of any given business, only because I feel that generally if a product functions the way its intended to, I shouldn’t ever before have a reason to call them in the first place. And while I want I can state that held true during my experience with StandDesk, I just can’t finish this testimonial without pointing out the numerous, apparently limitless troubles I ran into attempting to obtain my workdesk created.

For starters, the desk I was sent really did not have any type of memory phone included initially, which implied I had no other way of really regulating the up/down function on the desk itself. I called StandDesk concerning this concern, who got back to me around a day later with an apology as well as a promise that a brand-new one would be shipped quickly.

The source of all our problems …
Regarding four days later a mobile phone got here in the mail. The phone at first switched on, yet it wasn’t long prior to I observed that none of the programmable switches functioned, neither did the down button, but also for some factor the “memory” switch managed the down feature just great. I spoke to the firm again, as well as they apologized for the mixup and also stated they would have a brand-new panel and also control box out to me within the week.

Over two weeks later my new panel as well as control box showed up. Once I installed them both the desk finally started working the way it was meant to, however not after virtually a month of waiting as well as backward and forward with a firm that couldn’t bear in mind to ship a core element of their product inside the same box from the get-go.

Things to Take into consideration

Regardless of its bankable features, this stand up desk likewise has its own downsides. Because no singular stand workdesk can record all of the features that you may need, you may think about these in your decision-making.

Lack of a Bar as criterion

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

The crossbar is seen by some as an obstacle, making it more difficult to put your legs pleasantly below the desk. Others, on the other hand, discover that they give added security, commonly vital when workdesks are completely expanded.

We have not read any kind of grievances of the security of this desk, so we don’t believe its something to actually be worried regarding, although if you truly wanted a desk with a crossbar after that we advise you have a look at the Varidesk ProDesk 60 Electric.

Conversely, StandDesk does provide a separate add-on bar that you can contribute to the desk on your own, just for an added $49.95.

Security

The security of a standing workdesk is among one of the most essential facets of these desks. Without a stable workdesk you’ll find it tough to concentrate, which might cause you becoming less curious about making use of the desk at standing height. To get the best return on your investment, you’ll want to more than happy when making use of the desk.

Since the StandDesk Simple is the very first workdesk that I have examined with an optional cross support, I will certainly break down my security examinations into 2 areas. Both tests will certainly include the typical front to back shaking examination and also a left to best wobble. The very first will certainly lack the cross support as well as the secondly will certainly be with it. Simply to keep in mind, StandDesk.co claims that the addition of the cross support can raise security by as much as 15%. I have no concept exactly how they developed that number.

Without Cross Support

Left to Right: The wobble examination was a various circumstance. StandDesk Simple was the 2nd workdesk that I examined that tottered at the bottom with weight on the desktop. The very first was the IKEA Bekant. By the time it got to 36″ the rocking activity was bad. Beyond this point it would certainly impact your work.

With Cross Assistance

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

Entrusted to Right: Including the cross support to the StandDesk improved the wobble movement for reduced elevations. With the cross assistance the wobble motion didn’t start till you got to 35″. By 39″ the wobble motion ended up being negative.

Note: It’s really crucial with flexible standing desks to fully tighten up all equipment. If there is hardware that is not entirely limited, the motion experienced when included standing elevation will certainly be overemphasized. This is particularly real with a workdesk framework that consists of 32 screws, there are much way too many points at which the desk has an opportunity to move.

Conclusion

Like all the Chinese bases we’ve evaluated in our labs, we have to tighten our suggestion on the StandDesk Pro to much shorter users with narrower desktop computers, as the security just isn’t there for a huge mass boosted high off the ground. American-made desks will be better fit to these applications, and also for a relatively obvious factor. Virtually all American-made bases are made in United States manufacturing facilities that are possessed by Swedish, Danish or German firms that created this market, and also their average people are a whole lot taller than the average Oriental customer, so they began making longer-stroke lifting legs a very long time ago. As well as they have even more robotic automation, laser-cutting equipment, and also large experience making standing desk bases, it goes without saying.

If you’re not as well tall, don’t have an extreme quantity of heavy tools on your desktop computer, and do not require also wide of a workdesk, the StandDesk Pro will certainly provide you good bang for your buck.

All that might change with Yu’s guaranteed StandDesk Pro 2.0 layout that he expects to release at some point in the future. Initially we were informed we ‘d see it by June 2018. More than a year later on it has yet to appear, and Yu states he’s had trouble getting the product high quality he requires out of several Chinese factories he’s tried dealing with. The new layout is apparently mosting likely to be much easier to set up and also have a heftier crossbar style, among other refinements. He claims the brand-new base will be offered in both a “T-Leg” and “C-Leg” setup, minimizing our problem about side-load emphasizing on the training columns.

If this new base ever pertains to market we’ll upgrade you here. We’re not holding our breath any longer as the most recent news on the business is that Yu shut the small Los Angeles office as well as has transferred it to join with all its various other employees in southeast Asia.

In the meantime, a brand-new $399 standing desk with outstanding performance has actually been present with the brand-new joint endeavor in between US-based iMovR as well as China-based Eureka, the i1 electric standing workdesk. While restricted in size as well as color options, it has taken the mantle far from StandDesk’s long-ago standing as the most effective standing workdesk under $400.
