The StandDesk was developed by millennials, is marketed right at millennials, as well as has been gobbled up by millennials in impressive quantities. While it carries a ten-year guarantee (the longest of any type of Chinese-made base), in this case it’s not necessarily a trustworthy indicator of the anticipated helpful life of the lifting columns. For the rate, the StandDesk is a wonderful lower-cost option to the UpLift, Jarvis and also various other Chinese-made workdesks. Regardless of its security issues this is a far much better item than the Autonomous SmartDesk or IKEA Bekant might ever before wish to be, and also a good value generally. It’s the mid-priced offering in the wide category of Chinese-made workdesks that is gaining clients from both its more affordable and more expensive peers.

StandDesk Building And Construction, Setup, and also Devices

Building the desk is quite direct if you follow the thorough directions. All of the screws, bolts, washing machines, and also spring washing machines come in different bags that are noted with their destination: table top, structure, and spares. There’s a consisted of hex tool for attaching all of the bolts into the structure, or, pop in a hex bit into your power device– just beware not to over-tighten.

All of the components have a high quality surface to them with rounded edges to avoid 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 assembly also consists of height-adjustable rotation gears to support the front-to-back motion of the desk, which was really valuable for the carpeted home office flooring. I’m additionally using a flooring mat to shield the rug from chair wheel damages at resting height, as well as push 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, suggesting the backwards and forwards arrows will certainly readjust the height by 1/10th of an inch with a single press, or continuously adjust the elevation by around 0.7 inches per 2nd if you hold the switch for two secs. The memory switches are similar in design: push to recall the height setting, or hold the button down for five secs to keep a new height worth. I’m utilizing button 1 for my sitting setting and button 4 for my standing placement, which offers me 2 and also 3 for anything I could require in the future.

Using my Standdesk

I’ve been utilizing the new workdesk for a few weeks and have made a note of my preliminary perceptions:

The electric motors are quiet however can be heard in the following room over. It takes maybe 25 secs for the desk to totally shift from resting to standing based upon my presets.
I use 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 key-board. In hindsight, I must have purchased the crossbar upgrade for my workdesk after identifying the weight of my screens. If you intend to do a twin monitor setup, obtain the crossbar.

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

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

Performance

Regardless of any issues I might have had with the phone or the cookie-cutter layout, practically all of those worries gotten rid of as soon as I in fact got down to utilizing this thing.

I really did not believe it was even possible, the StandDesk in some way manages to be also more secure than the Jarvis, both at resting as well as standing elevations. Many days I such as to run my Jarvis at max height while pushed versus my wall surface; not necessarily due to the fact that it’s that wobbly, however even if I desire as much stability as I can get.

The StandDesk one ups the gambit even better, confirming to be just as steady by itself at standing elevation as the Jarvis is with wall support. This is all without the firm’s bar addition, which they claim adds a lot more security when purchased as a part of the plan deal.When it pertains to weight tolerance, the StandDesk shares yet much more stats with the Jarvis, being ranked for approximately 350 lbs of weight capacity.

I’ve been using the desk for concerning three weeks now for everyday work (and also adhering to standing workdesk best practices), whether it’s inputting out reviews such as this one from our desktop computer or a laptop from time to time. The desk holds up well against non-coastered beverages, as well as the finish in addition to the desk still feels just as smooth and slick as the day I opened it despite days of sweaty wrists wresting on it and multiple wipe downs with a cloth.

I never intentionally attempt to dent any workdesks too hard, during some lighter examinations (tossing a set of tricks onto it from a range, for instance), it still held up without too lots of noticeable indicators of damage.

When I gauged the sound outcome of the workdesk while it increased from a sitting placement to standing and also back once again, it was by far the quietest we’ve examined. I might hardly get it to make more than regarding 9.5 dB of noise, so if your biggest concern is the whirr of your electric motor, this is definitely the one for you.

Customer Service

Now, normally I do not consist of much concerning the client service support of any kind of offered business, just because I really feel that in general if an item functions the means its supposed to, I shouldn’t ever have a reason to call them in the first place. As well as while I wish I might claim that was the case throughout my experience with StandDesk, I simply can not complete this review without stating the many, seemingly endless issues I encountered trying to obtain my desk created.

For starters, the desk I was sent out really did not have any kind of memory mobile phone consisted of originally, which meant I had no other way of in fact regulating the up/down function on the desk itself. I contacted StandDesk concerning this problem, that returned to me around a day later on with an apology and also a guarantee that a brand-new one would certainly be shipped out shortly.

Standdesk evaluation handset

The source of all our issues …
Concerning four days later a phone showed up in the mail. The mobile at first turned on, yet it wasn’t long before I observed that none of the programmable buttons functioned, nor did the down button, however, for some factor the “memory” button took care of the down function just fine. I got in touch with the business again, as well as they excused the mixup and also said they would have a brand-new panel and control box out to me within the week.

Over 2 weeks later my brand-new panel and also control box got here. Once I mounted them both the desk finally started working the method it was meant to, but not after practically a month of waiting and also back and forth with a business that couldn’t keep in mind to ship a core element of their product inside the very same box from the outset.

Points to Consider

In spite of its bankable features, this stand desk also has its own disadvantages. Since no single stand workdesk can capture all of the features that you might need, you may consider these in your decision-making.

Lack of a Crossbar as standard

Not having a supporting crossbar is certainly not a deal-breaker, specifically thinking about a few of our various other favored workdesks such as the Fully Jarvis additionally do not have one. This desk does have one if you desire, yet it is a paid add-on (extra on this later too).

The bar is seen by some as a barrier, making it more difficult to position your legs pleasantly below the desk. Others, on the other hand, find that they offer added stability, typically vital when workdesks are fully expanded.

We have not read any problems of the stability of this workdesk, so we don’t assume its something to truly be concerned regarding, although if you really wanted a desk with a bar after that we advise you have a look at the Varidesk ProDesk 60 Electric.

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

Stability

The stability of a standing desk is just one of one of the most important elements of these workdesks. Without a secure workdesk you’ll locate it hard to concentrate, which can bring about you ending up being much less curious about making use of the desk at standing height. To obtain the best return on your investment, you’ll want to more than happy when using the desk.

Since the StandDesk Simple is the very first desk that I have checked with an optional cross assistance, I will certainly break down my security tests into two sections. Both examinations will consist of the normal front to back shaking test and an entrusted to right wobble. The first will certainly be without the cross support as well as the secondly will be with it. Simply to keep in mind, StandDesk.co claims that the enhancement of the cross support can enhance security by up to 15%. I have no idea just how they came up with that number.

Without Cross Assistance

Left to Right: The wobble examination was a different scenario. StandDesk Simple was the second desk that I checked that tottered at the bottom with weight on the desktop computer. The first was the IKEA Bekant. By the time it got to 36″ the shaking motion was bad. Beyond this factor it would impact your job.

With Cross Assistance

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

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

Note: It’s really important with adjustable standing workdesks to fully tighten all hardware. If there is hardware that is not totally limited, the activity experienced when reached standing height will certainly be exaggerated. This is particularly true with a workdesk structure that consists of 32 screws, there are far too many points at which the desk has a possibility to move.

Final thought

Like all the Chinese bases we’ve evaluated in our laboratories, we need to narrow our suggestion on the StandDesk Pro to much shorter users with narrower desktops, as the stability just isn’t there for a large mass boosted high off the ground. American-made workdesks will be better fit to these applications, as well as for a fairly evident factor. Virtually all American-made bases are made in US manufacturing facilities that are had by Swedish, Danish or German firms that invented this market, and their typical people are a lot taller than the typical Oriental consumer, so they started making longer-stroke training legs a very long time back. And they have even more robot automation, laser-cutting devices, and also sheer experience making standing desk bases, it goes without saying.

If you’re not as well high, don’t have an excessive amount of hefty devices on your desktop, and also do not need too broad of a desk, the StandDesk Pro will give you excellent bang for your dollar.

All that could transform with Yu’s assured StandDesk Pro 2.0 style that he expects to release at some time in the future. Originally we were told we ‘d see it by June 2018. More than a year later it has yet to materialize, as well as Yu states he’s had problem getting the item quality he needs out of several Chinese manufacturing facilities he’s tried working with. The brand-new design is apparently going to be much easier to assemble as well as have a heftier bar design, among other improvements. He says the brand-new base will be provided in both a “T-Leg” as well as “C-Leg” configuration, relieving our issue concerning side-load emphasizing on the lifting columns.

If this brand-new base ever pertains to market we’ll update you right here. But we’re not holding our breath any type of longer as one of the most recent information on the company is that Yu shut the little Los Angeles office and also has relocated it to accompany all its other employees in southeast Asia.

In the meantime, a new $399 standing workdesk with outstanding performance has been present via the brand-new joint venture between US-based iMovR and China-based Eureka, the i1 electric standing workdesk. While restricted in dimension as well as 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 developed by millennials, is marketed right at millennials, as well as has actually been demolished by millennials in remarkable quantities. While it brings a ten-year warranty (the lengthiest of any kind of Chinese-made base), in this case it’s not necessarily a trustworthy indication of the expected beneficial life of the lifting columns. However, for the cost, the StandDesk is a fantastic lower-cost option to the UpLift, Jarvis as well as various other Chinese-made desks. Despite its stability concerns this is a much much better product than the Autonomous SmartDesk or IKEA Bekant might ever hope to be, and also a good value on the whole. It’s the mid-priced offering in the broad classification of Chinese-made desks that is winning over clients from both its cheaper and more expensive peers.

All of the parts have an excellent quality finish to them with rounded corners to avoid cut hands. Below is a shot of all the screws that are attached to the leg setting up– it’s not going anywhere!

The foot assembly additionally consists of height-adjustable rotation gears to maintain the front-to-back movement of the desk, which was very valuable for the carpeted home office floor. I’m additionally making use of a floor mat to secure the rug from chair wheel damages at sitting elevation, and also push the chair back when I’m transitioning to standing elevation.

Standdesk-Foot

The luxurious controller deserved the financial investment. The buttons are all variable pressure set, indicating the backwards and forwards arrows will certainly change the elevation by 1/10th of an inch with a solitary press, or constantly readjust the elevation by around 0.7 inches per 2nd if you hold the button for 2 seconds. The memory buttons are comparable in style: press to remember the height setup, or hold the button down for 5 seconds to keep a new height worth.

I use an Ergotron side-by-side check arm (especially this LX model), creating the desk to obtain a little rocky when I change my weight against the key-board. In knowledge, I should have purchased the bar upgrade for my workdesk after establishing the weight of my monitors. If you plan to do a double monitor setup, obtain the bar.

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

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

Efficiency

Despite any kind of issues I may have had with the mobile or the cookie-cutter design, basically all of those concerns washed away as soon as I actually got down to utilizing this thing.

Although I really did not assume it was even possible, the StandDesk in some way takes care of to be a lot more secure than the Jarvis, both at resting as well as standing heights. A lot of days I such as to run my Jarvis at max elevation while pressed against my wall surface; not necessarily due to the fact that it’s that shaky, yet even if I want as much security as I can obtain.

The StandDesk one ups the gambit even additionally, verifying to be equally as steady on its own at standing height as the Jarvis is with wall support. This is all without the company’s crossbar enhancement, which they claim includes even more security when bought as a part of the bundle deal.When it pertains to weight resistance, the StandDesk shares yet a lot more stats with the Jarvis, being ranked for approximately 350 lbs of weight capacity.

I have actually been using the desk for concerning 3 weeks now for everyday work (and adhering to standing workdesk best methods), whether it’s typing out testimonials like this one from our desktop or a laptop computer once in a while. The desk holds up well versus non-coastered drinks, and the coating on top of the desk still really feels equally as smooth and slick as the day I opened it despite days of sweaty wrists wresting on it and also numerous clean downs with a dustcloth.

Though I never deliberately try to damage any kind of desks also hard, throughout some lighter examinations (throwing a set of keys onto it from a distance, for example), it still held up without too many noticeable signs of damages.

Finally, when I measured the sound result of the desk while it climbed from a sitting position to standing as well as back again, it was by far the quietest we’ve checked yet. I could hardly 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 absolutely the one for you.

Client service

Now, generally I don’t include much regarding the client service support of any type of offered firm, just because I feel that generally if a product works the method its expected to, I shouldn’t ever before have a reason to call them in the first place. And while I desire I could claim that held true throughout my experience with StandDesk, I just can’t complete this evaluation without discussing the many, apparently endless problems I came across trying to obtain my desk assembled.

For beginners, the desk I was sent really did not have any kind of memory mobile included initially, which implied I had no chance of really managing the up/down function on the desk itself. I spoke to StandDesk about this problem, who returned to me around a day later on with an apology and a promise that a brand-new one would be shipped soon.

Standdesk review handset

The source of all our troubles …
Regarding 4 days later a mobile arrived in the mail. The handset at first switched on, yet it had not been long prior to I noticed that none of the programmable switches worked, nor did the down switch, but for some factor the “memory” button managed the down feature simply great. I contacted the firm once again, as well as they excused the mixup as well as stated they would have a brand-new panel as well as control box out to me within the week.

Because the StandDesk Simple is the first workdesk that I have actually checked with an optional cross assistance, I will break down my security examinations into 2 areas.

Like all the Chinese bases we’ve tested in our labs, we have to narrow our recommendation on the StandDesk Pro to shorter individuals with narrower desktops, as the security just isn’t there for a large mass elevated high off the ground. American-made workdesks will certainly be much better suited to these applications, and for a relatively apparent reason. Basically all American-made bases are made in US manufacturing facilities that are owned by Swedish, Danish or German business that invented this industry, and also their ordinary people are a whole lot taller than the ordinary Asian consumer, so they started making longer-stroke training legs a long time ago. As well as they have even more robotic automation, laser-cutting equipment, and also large experience making standing desk bases, obviously.

If you’re not too high, don’t have an inordinate amount of hefty tools on your desktop computer, and do not require too vast of a desk, the StandDesk Pro will certainly give you excellent bang for your buck.

All that could change with Yu’s assured StandDesk Pro 2.0 layout that he anticipates to release at some point in the future. Initially we were told we ‘d see it by June 2018. More than a year later on it has yet to appear, and also Yu states he’s had trouble obtaining the item high quality he requires out of a number of Chinese factories he’s tried working with. The brand-new design is allegedly mosting likely to be much easier to construct as well as have a heftier crossbar layout, among other improvements. He states the brand-new base will be provided in both a “T-Leg” and also “C-Leg” setup, alleviating our problem about side-load stressing on the lifting columns.

If this new base ever before concerns market we’ll update you right here. We’re not holding our breath any kind of longer as the most current information on the company is that Yu shut the tiny Los Angeles workplace and has transferred it to join with all its various other staff members in southeast Asia.

In the meantime, a new $399 standing desk with remarkable performance has actually been present with the new joint venture between US-based iMovR and China-based Eureka, the i1 electrical standing workdesk. While limited in size and also color options, it has actually taken the mantle far from StandDesk’s long-ago status as the most effective standing workdesk under $400.

The StandDesk was developed by millennials, is marketed directly at millennials, and also has actually been gobbled up by millennials in impressive volumes. While it lugs a ten-year service warranty (the lengthiest of any Chinese-made base), in this case it’s not necessarily a reputable indicator of the expected useful life of the training columns. But also for the rate, the StandDesk is a terrific lower-cost option to the UpLift, Jarvis and also other Chinese-made desks. Regardless of its security problems this is a much much better product than the Autonomous SmartDesk or IKEA Bekant can ever want to be, and a good value generally. It’s the mid-priced offering in the wide classification of Chinese-made desks that is gaining clients from both its more affordable and also costlier peers.

StandDesk Construction, Arrangement, and Devices

Developing the desk is rather direct if you adhere to the detailed instructions. All of the screws, bolts, washers, as well as springtime washing machines come in separate bags that are noted with their destination: tabletop, structure, and also spares. There’s a consisted of hex tool for fastening all of the bolts into the framework, or, appear a hex little bit right into your power device– simply be careful not to over-tighten.

All of the components have a top quality surface to them with rounded corners to stay clear of cut hands. Below is a shot of all the screws that are secured to the leg setting up– it’s not going anywhere!

Standdesk-Leg

The foot assembly likewise consists of height-adjustable turning equipments to stabilize the front-to-back activity of the desk, which was extremely handy for the carpeted office flooring. I’m likewise making use of a flooring mat to safeguard the carpeting from chair wheel damages at resting elevation, and press the chair when I’m transitioning to standing elevation.

Standdesk-Foot

The luxurious controller deserved the investment. The buttons are all variable stress configured, meaning the up and down arrows will readjust the height by 1/10th of an inch with a solitary press, or continually change the height by about 0.7 inches per second if you hold the switch for 2 secs. The memory switches are similar in design: press to recall the elevation setup, or hold the button down for 5 secs to save a new elevation worth. I’m using switch 1 for my resting placement and also button 4 for my standing position, which gives me 2 and 3 for anything I could require in the future.

Utilizing my Standdesk

I have actually been using the new desk for a couple of weeks as well as have documented my preliminary perceptions:

The motors are quiet however can be listened to in the following area over. It takes perhaps 25 seconds for the desk to totally change from resting to standing based upon my presets.
I make use of an Ergotron side-by-side monitor arm (specifically this LX model), creating the desk to obtain a little rocky when I shift my weight against the keyboard. In knowledge, I must have acquired the crossbar upgrade for my workdesk after figuring out the weight of my displays. If you intend to do a dual monitor arrangement, obtain the crossbar.

Since gravity presses the discs in a human spinal column, I require to raise the desk greater in the early morning as well as lower it in the evening.

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

Performance

Regardless of any issues I might have had with the handset or the cookie-cutter style, practically every one of those problems washed away when I really came down to utilizing this thing.

I really did not believe it was also possible, the StandDesk in some way takes care of to be also a lot more secure than the Jarvis, both at sitting as well as standing heights. Most days I such as to run my Jarvis at max height while pushed against my wall surface; not always because it’s that unsteady, yet even if I desire as much security as I can get.

The StandDesk one ups the gambit even better, confirming to be equally as stable on its own at standing height as the Jarvis is with wall support. This is all without the firm’s crossbar addition, which they declare adds even more stability when purchased as a part of the bundle deal.When it pertains to weight resistance, the StandDesk shares yet even more stats with the Jarvis, being ranked for up to 350 pounds of weight ability.

I’ve been utilizing the desk for concerning three weeks currently for day-to-day work (as well as adhering to standing workdesk best practices), whether it’s keying out reviews similar to this one from our desktop or a laptop computer once in a while. The desk holds up well against non-coastered drinks, as well as the coating in addition to the desk still feels equally as smooth as well as glossy as the day I opened it in spite of days of perspiring wrists wresting on it and also numerous wipe downs with a rag.

Though I never purposefully attempt to damage any kind of desks as well hard, throughout some lighter tests (tossing a set of keys onto it from a distance, for instance), it still held up without way too many noticeable indications of damage.

Lastly, when I gauged the noise output of the desk while it climbed from a resting setting to standing as well as back again, it was without a doubt the quietest we have actually evaluated yet. I might barely get it to make greater than about 9.5 dB of noise, so if your greatest problem is the whirr of your electric motor, this is most definitely the one for you.

Customer support

Currently, typically I do not include much concerning the client service support of any type of offered company, only due to the fact that I feel that generally if an item functions the method its meant to, I should not ever have a reason to call them to begin with. And while I desire I could claim that was the case throughout my experience with StandDesk, I merely can not finish this evaluation without pointing out the many, apparently endless troubles I encountered trying to get my workdesk put together.

For starters, the desk I was sent out really did not have any memory phone included originally, which implied I had no chance of in fact controlling the up/down feature on the desk itself. I contacted StandDesk about this concern, who got back to me around a day later with an apology and a pledge that a new one would be shipped soon.

Standdesk evaluation handset

The resource of all our troubles …
Concerning 4 days later on a phone got here in the mail. The mobile phone originally switched on, but it had not been long prior to I noticed that none of the programmable buttons functioned, neither did the down switch, but for some factor the “memory” switch handled the down function just fine. I called the firm again, and they excused the mixup and said they would have a new panel and control box bent on me within the week.

Over 2 weeks later my brand-new panel and control box showed up. When I installed them both the desk lastly started working the method it was supposed to, but not after nearly a month of waiting as well as backward and forward with a company that couldn’t keep in mind to deliver a core component of their product inside the exact same box from the outset.

Points to Take into consideration

Despite its bankable attributes, this stand up workdesk also has its very own downsides. Considering that no singular stand workdesk might capture all of the attributes that you may need, you may think about these in your decision-making.

Absence of a Crossbar as criterion

Not having a maintaining bar is absolutely not a deal-breaker, especially thinking about several of our various other favored workdesks such as the Totally Jarvis additionally do not have one. This workdesk does have one if you want, but it is a paid add-on (a lot more on this later on also).

The crossbar is seen by some as a limitation, making it more challenging to put your legs conveniently below the desk. Others, on the other hand, find that they offer included security, typically essential when workdesks are fully expanded.

We have not read any complaints of the security of this desk, so we don’t think its something to truly be worried regarding, although if you really wanted a desk with a bar after that we recommend you take a look at the Varidesk ProDesk 60 Electric.

StandDesk does use a different add-on crossbar that you can add to the workdesk on your own, simply for an additional $49.95.

Stability

The security of a standing desk is just one of one of the most crucial aspects of these desks. Without a stable desk you’ll discover it difficult to concentrate, which might lead to you ending up being much less thinking about utilizing the desk at standing elevation. To get the very best return on your investment, you’ll intend to be happy when making use of the desk.

Because the StandDesk Simple is the very first workdesk that I have actually checked with an optional cross assistance, I will certainly break down my stability examinations right into two sections. Both tests will consist of the common front to back shaking examination and also a left to best wobble. The first will certainly lack the cross assistance as well as the second will be with it. Just to keep in mind, StandDesk.co says that the addition of the cross assistance can boost stability by up to 15%. I have no idea how they generated that number.

Without Cross Support

Left to Right: The wobble test was a different circumstance. StandDesk Simple was the 2nd desk that I examined that wobbled at the bottom with weight on the desktop computer. The first was the IKEA Bekant. By the time it reached 36″ the shaking activity was bad. Beyond this factor it would affect your work.

With Cross Assistance

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

Entrusted to Right: Including the cross assistance to the StandDesk enhanced the wobble movement for reduced heights. With the cross support the wobble motion didn’t begin till you reached 35″. By 39″ the wobble activity became poor.

Keep in mind: It’s really essential with adjustable standing desks to completely tighten up all equipment. If there is hardware that is not completely limited, the movement experienced when encompassed standing elevation will certainly be overemphasized. This is specifically true with a desk framework that consists of 32 bolts, there are far too many factors at which the desk has an opportunity to relocate.

Final thought

Like all the Chinese bases we’ve tested in our labs, we have to narrow our recommendation on the StandDesk Pro to much shorter customers with narrower desktops, as the security simply isn’t there for a big mass raised high off the ground. American-made workdesks will be better fit to these applications, and for a relatively obvious reason. Basically all American-made bases are made in US manufacturing facilities that are had by Swedish, Danish or German companies that created this market, and their typical residents are a lot taller than the ordinary Asian customer, so they began making longer-stroke lifting legs a long period of time back. And they have far more robot automation, laser-cutting devices, and sheer experience making standing workdesk bases, it goes without saying.

But if you’re not too tall, do not have an extreme amount of hefty equipment on your desktop, and don’t need as well wide of a workdesk, the StandDesk Pro will provide you excellent value.

All that may change with Yu’s guaranteed StandDesk Pro 2.0 style that he expects to release at some point in the future. Originally we were informed we would certainly see it by June 2018. More than a year later on it has yet to emerge, as well as Yu states he’s had difficulty obtaining the item quality he requires out of several Chinese factories he’s tried collaborating with. The new design is apparently going to be a lot easier to assemble and also have a heftier bar design, among other improvements. He claims the new base will certainly be offered in both a “T-Leg” and also “C-Leg” configuration, relieving our worry about side-load emphasizing on the training columns.

If this new base ever before concerns market we’ll update you right here. But we’re not holding our breath any kind of longer as the most recent news on the company is that Yu shut the small Los Angeles office as well as has actually relocated it to accompany all its other staff members in southeast Asia.

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