The StandDesk was created by millennials, is marketed directly at millennials, and also has been demolished by millennials in remarkable quantities. While it carries a ten-year service warranty (the lengthiest of any Chinese-made base), in this situation it’s not always a dependable indicator of the expected valuable life of the lifting columns. For the cost, the StandDesk is a wonderful lower-cost option to the UpLift, Jarvis and also other Chinese-made desks. Despite its stability concerns this is a much better product than the Autonomous SmartDesk or IKEA Bekant might ever before wish to be, and a good value on the whole. It’s the mid-priced offering in the broad group of Chinese-made workdesks that is winning over clients from both its less expensive and pricier peers.

StandDesk Construction, Configuration, and Gizmos

Building the desk is pretty direct if you follow the thorough guidelines. All of the screws, screws, washers, and also springtime washing machines can be found in different bags that are noted with their location: tabletop, frame, and also spares. There’s an included hex tool for securing all of the bolts into the framework, or, pop in a hex little bit 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 bolts that are attached to the leg assembly– it’s not going anywhere!

Standdesk-Leg

The foot setting up also consists of height-adjustable rotation gears to maintain the front-to-back motion of the desk, which was really useful for the carpeted office floor. I’m additionally using a flooring mat to secure the carpet from chair wheel damage at sitting height, and also press the chair back when I’m transitioning to standing height.

Standdesk-Foot

The deluxe controller was worth the investment. The buttons are all variable pressure set, suggesting the up and down arrowheads will readjust the height by 1/10th of an inch with a single press, or continuously change 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 setup, or hold the button down for five secs to store a new elevation worth. I’m utilizing button 1 for my resting position and also switch 4 for my standing setting, which gives me 2 as well as 3 for anything I might require in the future.

Using my Standdesk

I have actually been utilizing the new workdesk for a couple of weeks as well as have actually jotted down my first perceptions:

The electric motors are quiet however can be listened to in the next room over. It takes probably 25 secs for the desk to totally change from sitting to standing based upon my presets.
I use an Ergotron side-by-side keep track of arm (particularly this LX version), causing the desk to get a little rocky when I move my weight against the key-board. In knowledge, I need to have purchased the bar upgrade for my workdesk after identifying the weight of my displays. If you prepare to do a dual screen arrangement, get the bar.

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 reduced it in the evening.

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

Efficiency

Despite any kind of issues I might have had with the mobile phone or the cookie-cutter design, basically all of those worries removed when I really came down to using this point.

I didn’t assume it was also possible, the StandDesk in some way handles to be also more secure than the Jarvis, both at sitting and standing heights. Many days I like to run my Jarvis at max elevation while pushed versus my wall surface; not always because it’s that shaky, yet even if I want as much security as I can obtain.

The StandDesk one ups the gambit even better, verifying 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 addition, which they assert includes a lot more stability when bought as a part of the plan deal.When it comes to weight resistance, the StandDesk shares yet even more stats with the Jarvis, being ranked for up to 350 lbs of weight capability.

I’ve been making use of the desk for about 3 weeks now for daily work (and also complying with standing desk ideal methods), whether it’s keying out reviews similar to this one from our desktop or a laptop every now and then. The desk holds up well versus non-coastered beverages, and also the coating on top of the desk still feels just as smooth and glossy as the day I opened it regardless of days of sweaty wrists wresting on it and several clean downs with a dustcloth.

I never intentionally try to damage any kind of desks also hard, during some lighter examinations (tossing a collection of secrets onto it from a range, for instance), it still held up without as well numerous visible signs of damage.

Last but not least, when I determined the sound output of the desk while it climbed from a sitting position to standing and also back again, it was by far the quietest we have actually tested yet. I could barely get it to make greater than about 9.5 dB of sound, so if your most significant worry is the whirr of your motor, this is certainly the one for you.

Customer care

Currently, usually I don’t consist of much regarding the customer support assistance of any type of provided company, only since I feel that generally if an item works the method its intended to, I should not ever before have a reason to call them in the first place. And also while I desire I might state that held true throughout my experience with StandDesk, I just can not complete this testimonial without stating the many, relatively countless issues I ran into trying to obtain my workdesk put together.

For starters, the desk I was sent out didn’t have any kind of memory phone consisted of initially, which meant I had no way of really controlling the up/down feature on the desk itself. I got in touch with StandDesk concerning this issue, that returned to me around a day later with an apology and a pledge that a new one would certainly be shipped quickly.

Standdesk evaluation handset

The source of all our troubles …
About 4 days later a phone got here in the mail. The handset at first turned on, however it wasn’t long prior to I discovered that none of the programmable switches worked, neither did the down button, but for some factor the “memory” switch handled the down feature simply fine. I spoke to the firm 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 on my new panel and control box arrived. As soon as I installed them both the desk lastly started working the method it was intended to, yet not after virtually a month of waiting as well as back and forth with a company that couldn’t 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 attributes, this stand up workdesk additionally has its very own downsides. Given that no single stand workdesk might catch every one of the attributes that you may need, you may consider these in your decision-making.

Lack of a Crossbar as criterion

Not having a supporting crossbar is absolutely not a deal-breaker, particularly considering several of our various other favorite desks such as the Fully Jarvis additionally do not have one. Actually, this workdesk does have one if you want, but it is a paid add-on (much more on this later as well).

The crossbar is seen by some as a hindrance, making it more challenging to place your legs comfortably listed below the desk. Others, on the other hand, find that they give included stability, typically critical when desks are completely extended.

We have not check out any type of grievances of the security of this workdesk, so we don’t think its something to really be worried regarding, although if you truly desired a desk with a bar after that we advise you take a look at the Varidesk ProDesk 60 Electric.

StandDesk does use a different add-on crossbar that you can include to the workdesk yourself, simply for an added $49.95.

Security

The stability of a standing workdesk is just one of the most important facets of these desks. Without a secure desk you’ll discover it difficult to focus, which might lead to you coming to be much less curious about using the desk at standing height. To obtain the very best return on your financial investment, you’ll want to enjoy when using the desk.

Since the StandDesk Simple is the very first desk that I have actually tested with an optional cross support, I will certainly break down my security examinations right into 2 sections. Both tests will include the regular front to back rocking examination and also a delegated best wobble. The first will certainly be without the cross support and also the second will be with it. Just to note, StandDesk.co claims that the addition of the cross support can boost stability by approximately 15%. I have no suggestion how they came up with that number.

Without Cross Support

Left to Right: The wobble test was a different scenario. StandDesk Simple was the 2nd desk that I evaluated that tottered near the bottom with weight on the desktop computer. The very first was the IKEA Bekant. By the time it reached 36″ the rocking movement was bad. Yet point it would impact your work.

With Cross Support

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

Delegated Right: Adding the cross support to the StandDesk enhanced the wobble activity for reduced heights. With the cross support the wobble motion didn’t begin till you reached 35″. By 39″ the wobble movement came to be negative.

Note: It’s very essential with adjustable standing desks to completely tighten all hardware. If there is equipment that is not entirely tight, the activity experienced when reached standing elevation will certainly be exaggerated. This is especially true with a workdesk framework that consists of 32 screws, there are much too many points at which the desk has an opportunity to move.

Verdict

Like all the Chinese bases we have actually checked in our laboratories, we have to tighten our referral on the StandDesk Pro to shorter individuals with narrower desktops, as the stability simply isn’t there for a big mass boosted high off the ground. American-made workdesks will certainly be better fit to these applications, and also for a rather evident factor. Practically all American-made bases are made in US factories that are had by Swedish, Danish or German companies that created this sector, and their ordinary citizens are a great deal taller than the ordinary Oriental consumer, so they began making longer-stroke training legs a very long time ago. As well as they have even more robot automation, laser-cutting equipment, and sheer experience making standing workdesk bases, it goes without saying.

Yet if you’re not as well tall, don’t have an excessive quantity of hefty equipment on your desktop, and do not require also wide of a workdesk, the StandDesk Pro will offer you good value.

All that might change with Yu’s assured StandDesk Pro 2.0 design that he expects to release at some time in the future. Originally we were informed we ‘d see it by June 2018. Greater than a year later it has yet to materialize, as well as Yu states he’s had trouble getting the product top quality he needs out of several Chinese factories he’s tried dealing with. The brand-new layout is supposedly going to be a lot easier to construct and also have a heftier bar style, among other improvements. He states the new base will be supplied in both a “T-Leg” as well as “C-Leg” configuration, relieving our problem about side-load stressing on the lifting columns.

If this brand-new base ever comes to market we’ll upgrade you right here. We’re not holding our breath any kind of longer as the most current news on the firm is that Yu closed the small Los Angeles office as well as has actually transferred it to join with all its various other workers in southeast Asia.

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

The StandDesk was produced by millennials, is marketed right at millennials, and also has actually been gobbled up by millennials in excellent quantities. While it brings a ten-year service warranty (the longest of any kind of Chinese-made base), in this situation it’s not always a trustworthy indication of the expected beneficial life of the training columns. But for the rate, the StandDesk is a great lower-cost option to the UpLift, Jarvis as well as other Chinese-made desks. Regardless of its stability problems this is a far better product than the Autonomous SmartDesk or IKEA Bekant can ever before intend 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 consumers from both its less costly and also pricier peers.

StandDesk Building, Arrangement, as well as Devices

Constructing the desk is quite easy if you follow the detailed guidelines. Every one of the screws, bolts, washers, and also spring washers come in separate bags that are marked with their location: tabletop, frame, as well as spares. There’s a consisted of hex device for fastening every one of the screws 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 top quality surface to them with rounded edges to avoid cut hands. Below is a shot of all the bolts that are secured to the leg assembly– it’s not going anywhere!

Standdesk-Leg

The foot setting up likewise includes height-adjustable turning gears to stabilize the front-to-back activity of the desk, which was extremely valuable for the carpeted office flooring. I’m likewise utilizing a floor mat to shield the carpeting from chair wheel damage at sitting elevation, and push the chair when I’m transitioning to standing height.

Standdesk-Foot

The deluxe controller deserved the financial investment. The switches are all variable pressure set, meaning the up and down arrowheads will adjust the height by 1/10th of an inch with a solitary press, or constantly adjust the height by around 0.7 inches per 2nd if you hold the switch for two seconds. The memory switches are similar in design: press to recall the elevation setup, or hold the button down for five secs to save a new elevation value. I’m utilizing switch 1 for my sitting position and switch 4 for my standing position, which provides me 2 and 3 for anything I might require in the future.

Utilizing my Standdesk

I have actually been utilizing the new desk for a few weeks and have made a note of my first impressions:

The motors are quiet but can be listened to in the following area over. It takes probably 25 seconds for the desk to completely change from resting to standing based upon my presets.
I use an Ergotron side-by-side keep track of arm (especially this LX version), triggering the desk to obtain a little rough when I move my weight against the key-board. In hindsight, I ought to have bought the crossbar upgrade for my workdesk after determining the weight of my screens. If you intend to do a double monitor setup, obtain the bar.

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

An anti-fatigue mat is absolutely necessary for long period of time standing. I bought an Octagonal mat from SmartCells, using rubber “cells” that are imagined listed below.

Efficiency

Despite any kind of troubles I may have had with the handset or the cookie-cutter style, practically all of those issues washed away when I actually came down to using this thing.

I didn’t assume it was even feasible, the StandDesk somehow takes care of to be also a lot more steady than the Jarvis, both at sitting and standing heights. The majority of days I like to run my Jarvis at max elevation while pressed against my wall surface; not always because it’s that shaky, however even if I desire as much security as I can obtain.

The StandDesk one ups the gambit also additionally, proving to be equally as steady by itself at standing height as the Jarvis is with wall support. This is all without the company’s crossbar enhancement, which they assert adds even more stability when purchased as a part of the plan deal.When it involves weight resistance, the StandDesk shares yet even more stats with the Jarvis, being rated for up to 350 pounds of weight capacity.

When I determined the sound result of the workdesk while it increased from a sitting placement to standing and back once more, it was by much the quietest we’ve examined. I might barely get it to make greater than regarding 9.5 dB of noise, so if your greatest concern is the whirr of your electric motor, this is certainly the one for you.

Client service

Currently, typically I don’t consist of much regarding the customer care assistance of any provided company, only because I feel that in general if an item functions the means its supposed to, I should not ever before have a factor to call them in the first place. And also while I want I could claim that held true throughout my experience with StandDesk, I simply can’t complete this review without mentioning the countless, apparently countless troubles I encountered attempting to obtain my workdesk created.

For beginners, the desk I was sent out really did not have any type of memory mobile phone included originally, which indicated I had no way of actually managing 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 also a promise that a new one would certainly be shipped quickly.

Standdesk review handset

The resource of all our issues …
Concerning 4 days later a handset showed up in the mail.

Over two weeks later my new panel and also control box showed up. As soon as I installed them both the desk lastly started functioning the method it was expected to, but not after almost 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 item inside the very same box from the get-go.

Like all the Chinese bases we have actually examined in our labs, we have to narrow our recommendation on the StandDesk Pro to much shorter users with narrower desktop computers, as the security just isn’t there for a huge mass raised high off the ground. American-made desks will certainly be better matched to these applications, and also for a fairly evident reason. Basically all American-made bases are made in US factories that are owned by Swedish, Danish or German companies that invented this market, and 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. And they have far more robot automation, laser-cutting equipment, and sheer experience making standing desk bases, obviously.

If you’re not as well high, do not have an extreme quantity of heavy tools on your desktop computer, and don’t require as well vast of a desk, the StandDesk Pro will offer you great bang for your buck.

All that may transform with Yu’s assured StandDesk Pro 2.0 layout that he expects to launch sometime in the future. Originally we were informed we ‘d see it by June 2018. Greater than a year later it has yet to appear, as well as Yu states he’s had trouble obtaining the item quality he requires out of several Chinese manufacturing facilities he’s attempted working with. The brand-new style is allegedly mosting likely to be much easier to construct as well as have a heftier crossbar design, among other improvements. He says the brand-new base will be supplied in both a “T-Leg” as well as “C-Leg” setup, reducing our issue concerning side-load worrying on the training columns.

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

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

The StandDesk was created by millennials, is marketed straight at millennials, and also has been demolished by millennials in outstanding quantities. While it carries a ten-year warranty (the lengthiest of any Chinese-made base), in this instance it’s not necessarily a reputable indication of the anticipated beneficial life of the lifting columns. For the cost, the StandDesk is a terrific lower-cost option to the UpLift, Jarvis as well as other Chinese-made desks. Despite its security issues this is a much better product than the Autonomous SmartDesk or IKEA Bekant could ever before wish to be, and a good value on the whole. It’s the mid-priced offering in the broad category of Chinese-made desks that is gaining clients from both its more affordable and also pricier peers.

StandDesk Construction, Configuration, and also Gizmos

Developing the desk is rather straight forward if you adhere to the detailed guidelines. All of the screws, screws, washers, and spring washing machines been available in different bags that are noted with their location: tabletop, structure, and also spares. There’s an included hex tool for attaching every one of the screws into the frame, or, appear a hex little bit into your power device– just take care not to over-tighten.

All of the components have a premium quality finish to them with rounded edges to prevent cut hands. Below is a shot of all the bolts that are attached to the leg assembly– it’s not going anywhere!

Standdesk-Leg

The foot assembly also includes height-adjustable turning equipments to maintain the front-to-back activity of the desk, which was really valuable for the carpeted home office flooring. I’m likewise utilizing a flooring mat to secure the rug from chair wheel damage at sitting elevation, and also press the chair back when I’m transitioning to standing elevation.

Standdesk-Foot

The luxurious controller deserved the financial investment. The switches are all variable pressure programmed, implying the backwards and forwards arrows will adjust the height by 1/10th of an inch with a single press, or constantly change the elevation by around 0.7 inches per second if you hold the switch for two seconds. The memory buttons are comparable in layout: push to recall the height setting, or hold the button down for 5 secs to store a brand-new elevation value. I’m using switch 1 for my sitting position and also button 4 for my standing position, which gives me 2 and also 3 for anything I might need in the future.

Standdesk-Memory-unit

Utilizing my Standdesk

I have actually been utilizing the new desk for a few weeks and have actually documented my initial perceptions:

The motors are quiet however can be heard in the following space over. It takes perhaps 25 seconds for the desk to fully shift from sitting to standing based on my presets.
I utilize an Ergotron side-by-side monitor arm (especially this LX model), causing the desk to obtain a little rocky when I shift my weight versus the key-board. In knowledge, I should have purchased the bar upgrade for my workdesk after determining the weight of my screens. If you intend to do a double display configuration, obtain the crossbar.

Due to the fact that gravity presses the discs in a human back, I require to increase the desk higher in the morning as well as reduced it in the evening.

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

Performance

In spite of any kind of problems I might have had with the handset or the cookie-cutter layout, basically all of those concerns washed away once I in fact came down to utilizing this point.

Although I didn’t think it was even feasible, the StandDesk in some way manages to be a lot more steady than the Jarvis, both at sitting and also standing elevations. Many days I such as to run my Jarvis at max height while pressed against my wall; not always because it’s that shaky, but even if I want as much security as I can get.

The StandDesk one ups the gambit also additionally, verifying to be just as steady by itself at standing height as the Jarvis is with wall support. This is all without the business’s crossbar addition, which they declare includes much more security when bought as a part of the package 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 capability.

I’ve been utilizing the desk for regarding three weeks currently for everyday job (and also adhering to standing workdesk best practices), whether it’s typing out evaluations such as this one from our desktop or a laptop every now and then. The desk holds up well versus non-coastered drinks, and also the coating on top of the desk still feels equally as smooth and slick as the day I opened it in spite of days of perspiring wrists wresting on it and several wipe downs with a cloth.

Though I never ever deliberately try to damage any kind of desks also hard, throughout some lighter tests (throwing a collection of keys onto it from a distance, for instance), it still stood up without way too many noticeable indications of damages.

Last but not least, when I gauged the noise result of the desk while it increased from a resting placement to standing and also back once more, it was by far the quietest we have actually examined yet. I could barely get it to make more than concerning 9.5 dB of noise, so if your biggest concern is the whirr of your motor, this is certainly the one for you.

Customer care

Now, typically I don’t include much regarding the client service assistance of any kind of provided business, only since I really feel that in general if a product works the method its intended to, I shouldn’t ever before have a reason to call them in the first place. As well as while I wish I could say that held true throughout my experience with StandDesk, I merely can not complete this testimonial without mentioning the numerous, relatively unlimited troubles I experienced attempting to get my desk created.

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

Standdesk review handset

The resource of all our issues …
Regarding 4 days later a mobile phone got here in the mail. The handset originally turned on, yet it had not been long before I saw that none of the programmable buttons worked, nor did the down button, but for some reason the “memory” button managed the down function just great. I called the firm once again, and they apologized for the mixup as well as said 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 got here. As soon as I installed them both the desk finally began functioning the method it was meant to, yet not after virtually a month of waiting as well as backward and forward with a company that could not bear in mind to ship a core element of their product inside the exact same box from the get-go.

Things to Consider

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

Absence of a Crossbar as requirement

Not having a supporting bar is absolutely not a deal-breaker, specifically taking into consideration several of our other favored workdesks such as the Totally Jarvis additionally do not have one. In fact, this desk does have one if you want, yet it is a paid add-on (a lot more on this later also).

The crossbar is seen by some as a barrier, making it more challenging to position your legs conveniently listed below the desk. Others, on the other hand, locate that they give added security, typically critical when workdesks are totally prolonged.

We have not check out any kind of issues of the security of this workdesk, so we don’t believe its something to truly be worried about, although if you really desired a workdesk with a bar after that we advise you take a look at the Varidesk ProDesk 60 Electric.

Additionally, StandDesk does provide a different add-on crossbar that you can include in the desk yourself, just for an extra $49.95.

Stability

The stability of a standing desk is among one of the most crucial elements of these workdesks. Without a secure workdesk you’ll discover it difficult to focus, which can bring about you becoming much less curious about using the desk at standing height. To get the most effective return on your investment, you’ll wish to enjoy when making use of the desk.

Because the StandDesk Simple is the initial desk that I have checked with an optional cross assistance, I will break down my stability tests into 2 sections. Both tests will certainly consist of the normal front to back shaking test as well as a left to best wobble. The very first will be without the cross assistance and also the secondly will certainly be with it. Simply to keep in mind, StandDesk.co says that the enhancement of the cross support can boost security by approximately 15%. I have no idea just how they developed that number.

Without Cross Assistance

Left to Right: The wobble test was a different situation. StandDesk Simple was the second desk that I checked that tottered at the bottom with weight on the desktop. The very first was the IKEA Bekant. By the time it reached 36″ the rocking movement was bad. Yet point it would certainly impact your work.

With Cross Support

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

Delegated Right: Including the cross assistance to the StandDesk boosted the wobble activity for lower heights. With the cross support the wobble motion really did not start until you got to 35″. By 39″ the wobble activity ended up being poor.

Note: It’s very important with adjustable standing workdesks to completely tighten all equipment. If there is equipment that is not entirely tight, the movement experienced when included standing height will be overemphasized. This is particularly true with a desk structure that consists of 32 screws, there are much too many factors at which the desk has an opportunity to relocate.

Verdict

Like all the Chinese bases we have actually examined in our laboratories, we need to tighten our suggestion 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 better suited to these applications, and for a rather apparent reason. Essentially all American-made bases are made in United States manufacturing facilities that are possessed by Swedish, Danish or German business that created this market, and also their typical residents are a great deal taller than the average Oriental customer, so they started making longer-stroke training legs a very long time back. As well as they have much more robotic automation, laser-cutting equipment, and also large experience making standing workdesk bases, needless to say.

Yet if you’re not also tall, don’t have an extreme quantity of hefty tools on your desktop, and don’t require as well wide of a workdesk, the StandDesk Pro will provide you good value.

All that may change with Yu’s promised StandDesk Pro 2.0 design that he expects to launch at some point in the future. Originally we were informed we would certainly see it by June 2018. Greater than a year later on it has yet to materialize, and Yu states he’s had problem getting the product top quality he needs out of numerous Chinese manufacturing facilities he’s tried dealing with. The new design is apparently mosting likely to be a lot easier to construct and also have a heftier bar style, to name a few improvements. He says the new base will certainly be used in both a “T-Leg” and also “C-Leg” configuration, minimizing our concern regarding side-load emphasizing on the lifting columns.

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

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