The StandDesk was created by millennials, is marketed right at millennials, and also has actually been gobbled up by millennials in impressive quantities. While it brings a ten-year guarantee (the longest of any Chinese-made base), in this situation it’s not necessarily a reliable sign of the anticipated helpful life of the lifting columns. For the cost, the StandDesk is a terrific lower-cost alternative to the UpLift, Jarvis as well as various other Chinese-made desks. Regardless of its security concerns this is a much much better item than the Autonomous SmartDesk or IKEA Bekant could ever wish to be, and a good value overall. It’s the mid-priced offering in the wide group of Chinese-made workdesks that is winning over clients from both its less expensive as well as more expensive peers.

StandDesk Building And Construction, Arrangement, and Devices

Constructing the desk is quite straight forward if you comply with the detailed directions. All of the screws, screws, washing machines, and also spring washers been available in different bags that are marked with their destination: tabletop, frame, and spares. There’s an included hex tool for fastening all of the screws right into the framework, or, pop in a hex little bit right into your power device– simply take care not to over-tighten.

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

Standdesk-Leg

The foot assembly also includes height-adjustable rotation equipments to stabilize the front-to-back movement of the desk, which was extremely handy for the carpeted office floor. I’m also utilizing a flooring mat to shield the carpet from chair wheel damages at resting height, as well as push the chair when I’m transitioning to standing height.

Standdesk-Foot

The deluxe controller was worth the financial investment. The buttons are all variable stress configured, meaning the up and down arrowheads will certainly adjust the elevation by 1/10th of an inch with a single press, or continually change the elevation by around 0.7 inches per 2nd if you hold the switch for 2 seconds. The memory switches are similar in style: press to recall the elevation setup, or hold the button down for 5 secs to keep a brand-new height value. I’m making use of switch 1 for my resting setting and also button 4 for my standing setting, which offers me 2 and 3 for anything I might need in the future.

Standdesk-Memory-unit

Utilizing my Standdesk

I’ve been making use of the new workdesk for a few weeks and have listed my first impressions:

The electric motors are quiet but can be heard in the following space over. It takes perhaps 25 secs for the desk to completely shift from sitting to standing based upon my presets.
I utilize an Ergotron side-by-side keep an eye on arm (particularly this LX version), causing the desk to get a little rocky when I change my weight versus the key-board. In hindsight, I should have acquired the crossbar upgrade for my workdesk after identifying the weight of my monitors. If you prepare to do a dual display configuration, get the bar.

Since gravity compresses the discs in a human spine, I require to raise the desk higher in the early morning as well as reduced it in the evening.

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

Efficiency

In spite of any issues I might have had with the mobile phone or the cookie-cutter layout, practically all of those problems gotten rid of once I in fact came down to utilizing this thing.

Although I really did not believe it was also possible, the StandDesk somehow handles to be much more steady than the Jarvis, both at sitting and also standing heights. Most days I such as to run my Jarvis at max height while pressed versus my wall; not necessarily since it’s that shaky, however just because I want as much security as I can get.

The StandDesk one ups the gambit even better, proving to be equally as stable by itself at standing height as the Jarvis is with wall support. This is all without the company’s bar enhancement, which they claim includes much more security when purchased 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 lbs of weight capability.

I have actually been making use of the desk for regarding 3 weeks now for day-to-day job (and also complying with standing workdesk finest techniques), whether it’s keying out reviews such as this one from our desktop computer or a laptop computer every now and then. The desk holds up well against non-coastered beverages, and also the coating on top of the desk still really feels equally as smooth as well as slick as the day I opened it despite days of sweaty wrists wresting on it and numerous wipe downs with a cloth.

Though I never ever intentionally attempt to damage any type of desks as well hard, throughout some lighter examinations (throwing a collection of keys onto it from a distance, as an example), it still held up without a lot of noticeable signs of damage.

When I measured the sound outcome of the desk while it rose from a sitting placement to standing and back once more, it was by far the quietest we’ve examined. I might barely get it to make greater than regarding 9.5 dB of sound, so if your greatest problem is the whirr of your electric motor, this is most definitely the one for you.

Client service

Now, generally I don’t consist of much concerning the customer service assistance of any type of provided firm, only due to the fact that I feel that as a whole if an item functions the method its supposed to, I should not ever have a reason to call them in the first place. And while I want I could say that was the case during my experience with StandDesk, I just can not complete this testimonial without stating the numerous, seemingly limitless problems I experienced attempting to obtain my workdesk created.

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

Standdesk evaluation handset

The resource of all our troubles …
About four days later a mobile arrived in the mail. The handset initially switched on, however it had not been long before I observed that none of the programmable buttons worked, nor did the down switch, however, for some reason the “memory” switch took care of the down function just great. I called the firm once again, and also they excused the mixup and claimed they would certainly have a brand-new panel and control box bent on me within the week.

Over two weeks later on my new panel and also control box showed up. When I mounted them both the desk ultimately started working the way it was intended to, but not after practically a month of waiting and also to and fro with a firm that couldn’t bear in mind to ship a core part of their product inside the same box from the outset.

Points to Take into consideration

Despite its bankable features, this stand workdesk also has its own drawbacks. Because no single stand desk could record every one of the features that you may need, you may take into consideration these in your decision-making.

Lack of a Bar as requirement

Not having a stabilizing bar is definitely not a deal-breaker, especially considering a few of our other preferred workdesks such as the Fully Jarvis additionally do not have one. This workdesk does have one if you want, yet it is a paid add-on (much more on this later on as well).

The crossbar is seen by some as a hindrance, making it harder to position your legs comfortably listed below the desk. Others, on the other hand, find that they offer included stability, typically crucial when workdesks are completely expanded.

We have not check out any problems of the stability of this desk, so we do not believe its something to truly be concerned concerning, although if you actually desired a desk with a crossbar then we recommend you take a look at the Varidesk ProDesk 60 Electric.

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

Stability

The security of a standing workdesk is just one of one of the most crucial aspects of these desks. Without a steady desk you’ll find it tough to focus, which could bring about you ending up being much less interested in utilizing the desk at standing height. To get the best return on your investment, you’ll intend to enjoy when making use of the desk.

Since the StandDesk Simple is the initial desk that I have actually checked 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 an entrusted to right wobble. The very first will be without the cross assistance and the secondly will certainly be with it. Simply to note, StandDesk.co says that the enhancement of the cross support can boost stability by up to 15%. I have no idea exactly how they thought of that number.

Without Cross Assistance

Left to Right: The wobble examination was a various circumstance. StandDesk Simple was the second workdesk that I examined that tottered at the bottom with weight on the desktop computer. The initial was the IKEA Bekant. By the time it reached 36″ the rocking activity misbehaved. Beyond this point it would certainly impact your job.

With Cross Assistance

Front to Back: Including the cross assistance does not affect the shaking movement. The StandDesk Simple began to experienced a rocking movement at 36″. By 41″ the rocking movement misbehaved.

Delegated Right: Including the cross support to the StandDesk improved the wobble movement for reduced elevations. With the cross support the wobble movement really did not start up until you reached 35″. By 39″ the wobble motion came to be bad.

Keep in mind: It’s extremely vital with flexible standing workdesks to completely tighten up all hardware. If there is hardware that is not totally limited, the movement experienced when reached standing elevation will be exaggerated. This is specifically true with a desk structure that consists of 32 screws, there are far way too many factors at which the desk has a possibility to move.

Final thought

Like all the Chinese bases we have actually checked in our laboratories, we need to narrow our suggestion on the StandDesk Pro to much shorter customers with narrower desktops, as the stability just isn’t there for a big mass boosted high off the ground. American-made desks will certainly be better matched to these applications, and for a fairly apparent reason. Practically all American-made bases are made in United States factories that are had by Swedish, Danish or German firms that created this industry, and also their ordinary people are a great deal taller than the average Eastern customer, so they began making longer-stroke lifting legs a long period of time back. And they have far more robotic automation, laser-cutting tools, and also sheer experience making standing workdesk bases, obviously.

However if you’re not as well tall, don’t have an inordinate quantity of hefty tools on your desktop computer, and don’t require too wide of a desk, the StandDesk Pro will offer you great bang for your buck.

All that could alter with Yu’s promised StandDesk Pro 2.0 layout that he anticipates to release at some time in the future. Initially we were informed we would certainly see it by June 2018. More than a year later on it has yet to appear, and also Yu states he’s had problem getting the item top quality he requires out of a number of Chinese factories he’s attempted collaborating with. The new style is supposedly going to be a lot easier to construct as well as have a heftier crossbar style, to name a few improvements. He says the new base will be offered in both a “T-Leg” and also “C-Leg” configuration, easing our worry regarding side-load worrying on the training columns.

If this new base ever before involves market we’ll update you below. We’re not holding our breath any kind of longer as the most current information on the business is that Yu closed the tiny Los Angeles office and also has relocated it to join with all its other employees in southeast Asia.

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

The StandDesk was created by millennials, is marketed straight at millennials, and has actually been gobbled up by millennials in outstanding volumes. While it lugs a ten-year warranty (the lengthiest of any Chinese-made base), in this situation it’s not necessarily a dependable sign of the expected helpful life of the lifting columns. But for the cost, the StandDesk is an excellent lower-cost alternative to the UpLift, Jarvis and various other Chinese-made workdesks. Regardless of its security concerns this is a much much better item than the Autonomous SmartDesk or IKEA Bekant could ever want to be, and also a good value in general. It’s the mid-priced offering in the broad classification of Chinese-made workdesks that is swaying clients from both its cheaper and more expensive peers.

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

Standdesk-Leg

The foot setting up additionally consists of height-adjustable rotation gears to stabilize the front-to-back motion of the desk, which was very valuable for the carpeted office floor. I’m likewise utilizing a floor mat to safeguard the carpet from chair wheel damages at sitting height, and press 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 backwards and forwards arrowheads will readjust the height by 1/10th of an inch with a solitary press, or continually readjust the elevation by about 0.7 inches per 2nd if you hold the button for 2 seconds. The memory switches are similar in style: push to recall the elevation setup, or hold the button down for five secs to save a new height value.

The electric motors are quiet yet can be listened to in the next area over. It takes probably 25 secs for the desk to fully shift from sitting to standing based on my presets.
I use an Ergotron side-by-side check arm (especially this LX version), creating the desk to obtain a little rough when I shift my weight against the key-board. In knowledge, I ought to have purchased the crossbar upgrade for my workdesk after determining the weight of my displays. If you plan to do a double display setup, obtain the bar.

Because gravity compresses the discs in a human spinal column, I require to increase the desk greater in the early morning and also reduced it in the evening.

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

Performance

Despite any kind of issues I might have had with the mobile or the cookie-cutter style, basically all of those concerns gotten rid of as soon as I actually got down to utilizing this point.

I didn’t believe it was even feasible, the StandDesk somehow handles to be also much more steady than the Jarvis, both at resting and also standing heights. Many days I such as to run my Jarvis at max height while pressed versus my wall surface; not always because it’s that unsteady, however even if I desire as much stability as I can get.

The StandDesk one ups the gambit even better, proving to be just as stable by itself at standing elevation as the Jarvis is with wall support. This is all without the firm’s bar enhancement, which they declare includes a lot more stability when acquired as a part of the package deal.When it involves weight tolerance, the StandDesk shares yet much more statistics with the Jarvis, being rated for up to 350 pounds of weight capability.

I have actually been utilizing the desk for concerning 3 weeks now for everyday job (and also complying with standing workdesk finest methods), whether it’s inputting out reviews such as this one from our desktop or a laptop computer from time to time. The desk stands up well versus non-coastered drinks, as well as the surface on top of the desk still feels just as smooth and also glossy as the day I opened it regardless of days of perspiring wrists wresting on it as well as several clean downs with a rag.

Though I never ever purposefully try to dent any type of desks also hard, during some lighter tests (tossing a collection of secrets onto it from a range, for instance), it still stood up without a lot of noticeable indications of damage.

Finally, when I measured the noise result of the desk while it rose from a sitting position to standing as well as back once more, it was without a doubt the quietest we have actually checked yet.

Customer care

Currently, usually I don’t consist of much concerning the client service assistance of any provided company, only due to the fact that I feel that generally if an item works the way its supposed to, I should not ever before have a factor to call them in the first place. And also while I desire I could say that was the case during my experience with StandDesk, I just can’t complete this evaluation without stating the countless, relatively unlimited issues I experienced attempting to obtain my desk assembled.

For starters, the desk I was sent out really did not have any memory handset included initially, which meant I had no way of really managing the up/down function on the desk itself. I contacted StandDesk concerning this problem, who got back to me around a day later with an apology and a promise that a brand-new one would be shipped out quickly.

This is especially true with a desk structure that includes 32 bolts, there are much way too many factors at which the desk has an opportunity to relocate.

Verdict

Like all the Chinese bases we have actually checked in our laboratories, we need to tighten our suggestion on the StandDesk Pro to shorter users with narrower desktop computers, as the stability simply isn’t there for a large mass boosted high off the ground. American-made workdesks will be much better suited to these applications, and for a rather evident factor. Virtually all American-made bases are made in US manufacturing facilities that are owned by Swedish, Danish or German companies that developed this market, and also their typical residents are a great deal taller than the ordinary Asian consumer, so they started making longer-stroke training legs a long time back. As well as they have far more robot automation, laser-cutting devices, as well as sheer experience making standing desk bases, obviously.

If you’re not also high, do not have an extreme amount of heavy equipment on your desktop, and also don’t need also large of a desk, the StandDesk Pro will certainly offer you great bang for your buck.

All that could alter with Yu’s assured StandDesk Pro 2.0 style that he expects to launch sometime in the future. Initially we were informed we ‘d see it by June 2018. More than a year later on it has yet to emerge, as well as Yu states he’s had problem getting the item top quality he requires out of several Chinese factories he’s attempted working with. The new design is supposedly going to be much easier to construct as well as have a heftier crossbar style, to name a few improvements. He claims the new base will be provided in both a “T-Leg” and “C-Leg” configuration, alleviating our worry regarding side-load stressing on the training columns.

If this new base ever concerns market we’ll update you below. We’re not holding our breath any type of longer as the most current news on the company is that Yu closed the tiny Los Angeles workplace as well as has transferred it to join with all its other workers in southeast Asia.

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

The StandDesk was developed by millennials, is marketed straight at millennials, and also has been demolished by millennials in remarkable quantities. While it carries a ten-year warranty (the lengthiest of any kind of Chinese-made base), in this situation it’s not always a trusted indication of the expected helpful life of the lifting columns. However, for the price, the StandDesk is an excellent lower-cost choice to the UpLift, Jarvis and various other Chinese-made desks. Regardless of its security problems this is a far better item than the Autonomous SmartDesk or IKEA Bekant can ever before wish to be, as well as a good value on the whole. It’s the mid-priced offering in the wide category of Chinese-made workdesks that is winning over clients from both its less costly as well as pricier peers.

StandDesk Construction, Setup, and Devices

Developing the desk is pretty simple if you comply with the comprehensive guidelines. Every one of the screws, bolts, washers, and also springtime 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 securing every one of the screws right into the framework, or, appear a hex little bit into your power tool– simply be careful not to over-tighten.

Every one of the components have a premium 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 additionally includes height-adjustable rotation equipments to stabilize the front-to-back activity of the desk, which was very practical for the carpeted home office flooring. I’m additionally utilizing a floor mat to safeguard the rug from chair wheel damage at sitting elevation, as well as press the chair when I’m transitioning to standing elevation.

Standdesk-Foot

The deluxe controller deserved the investment. The switches are all variable stress configured, indicating the backwards and forwards arrows will certainly adjust the elevation by 1/10th of an inch with a solitary press, or continuously change the elevation by about 0.7 inches per second if you hold the switch for two secs. The memory buttons are comparable in design: press to remember the elevation setup, or hold the button down for five secs to save a brand-new height worth. I’m utilizing switch 1 for my sitting placement as well as switch 4 for my standing setting, which provides me 2 and 3 for anything I could need in the future.

Utilizing my Standdesk

I’ve been using the brand-new desk for a few weeks and also have documented my preliminary impressions:

The motors are quiet yet can be heard in the following room over. It takes possibly 25 seconds for the desk to completely transition from sitting to standing based on my presets.
I use an Ergotron side-by-side check arm (specifically this LX version), triggering the desk to obtain a little rocky when I move my weight versus the key-board. In hindsight, I must have purchased the crossbar upgrade for my desk after identifying the weight of my displays. If you plan to do a dual screen setup, get the bar.

Due to the fact that gravity compresses the discs in a human spinal column, I need to raise the desk greater in the morning and reduced it at night.

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

Efficiency

Despite any type of issues I might have had with the phone or the cookie-cutter design, pretty much all of those worries removed once I in fact got down to using this thing.

I didn’t think it was even feasible, the StandDesk in some way manages to be even more secure than the Jarvis, both at sitting and standing elevations. A lot of days I such as to run my Jarvis at max height while pressed against my wall; not necessarily due to the fact that it’s that unsteady, however even if I want as much security as I can obtain.

The StandDesk one ups the gambit even better, verifying to be equally as stable on its own at standing elevation as the Jarvis is with wall support. This is all without the business’s bar addition, which they declare adds even more security when bought as a part of the bundle deal.When it concerns weight tolerance, the StandDesk shares yet even more stats with the Jarvis, being ranked for as much as 350 lbs of weight ability.

I have actually been utilizing the desk for about three weeks currently for everyday job (as well as adhering to standing workdesk finest practices), whether it’s keying out reviews similar to this one from our desktop computer or a laptop every now and then. The desk stands up well against non-coastered beverages, as well as the finish on top of the desk still feels just as smooth and also slick as the day I opened it in spite of days of sweaty wrists wresting on it as well as multiple wipe downs with a cloth.

I never ever purposefully try to damage any kind of workdesks too hard, during some lighter tests (tossing a collection of keys onto it from a range, for instance), it still held up without as well numerous visible indicators of damage.

Finally, when I determined the sound result of the desk while it increased from a resting placement to standing as well as back again, it was by far the quietest we’ve evaluated yet. I could hardly get it to make greater than regarding 9.5 dB of sound, so if your most significant issue is the whirr of your motor, this is certainly the one for you.

Customer care

Currently, typically I do not consist of much about the customer service support of any offered firm, just because I feel that in general if an item functions the method its expected to, I shouldn’t ever have a reason to call them in the first place. As well as while I wish I can claim that held true during my experience with StandDesk, I merely can not finish this review without mentioning the countless, apparently endless troubles I experienced attempting to get my workdesk created.

For beginners, the desk I was sent didn’t have any memory mobile included originally, which indicated I had no chance of in fact controlling the up/down function on the desk itself. I called StandDesk concerning this problem, that got back to me around a day later on with an apology and a guarantee that a new one would certainly be shipped soon.

Standdesk review handset

The resource of all our problems …
About four days later a phone arrived in the mail. The mobile phone initially switched on, but it wasn’t long prior to I saw that none of the programmable buttons worked, neither did the down switch, however, for some factor the “memory” button dealt with the down feature just great. I got in touch with the firm once more, and also they excused the mixup and claimed they would have a brand-new panel and also control box bent on me within the week.

Over two weeks later on my new panel and control box arrived. Once I installed them both the desk finally started working the means it was expected to, yet not after practically a month of waiting as well as back and forth with a firm that could not bear in mind to ship a core part of their product inside the exact same box from the beginning.

Things to Take into consideration

Despite its bankable features, this stand desk likewise has its own drawbacks. Considering that no single stand workdesk might capture all of the attributes that you may require, you might take into consideration these in your decision-making.

Absence of a Bar as requirement

Not having a supporting bar is definitely not a deal-breaker, especially thinking about a few of our other favorite desks such as the Totally Jarvis also don’t have one. In fact, this workdesk does have one if you desire, but it is a paid add-on (much more on this later on as well).

The crossbar is seen by some as a barrier, making it harder to place your legs pleasantly listed below the desk. Others, on the other hand, locate that they supply added security, commonly vital when desks are fully expanded.

We have not review any type of grievances of the security of this desk, so we do not assume its something to really be concerned concerning, although if you truly wanted a workdesk with a bar after that we advise you have a look at the Varidesk ProDesk 60 Electric.

Conversely, StandDesk does provide a separate add-on crossbar that you can contribute to the desk yourself, just for an additional $49.95.

Stability

The security of a standing desk is among one of the most crucial aspects of these workdesks. Without a secure desk you’ll locate it difficult to concentrate, which might result in you becoming much less curious about making use of the desk at standing elevation. To obtain the most effective return on your financial investment, you’ll intend to more than happy when using the desk.

Due To The Fact That the StandDesk Simple is the very first desk that I have tested with an optional cross assistance, I will break down my security tests into 2 areas. Both tests will include the normal front to back rocking examination as well as an entrusted to right wobble. The 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 addition of the cross assistance can increase stability by approximately 15%. I have no idea how they generated that number.

Without Cross Support

Left to Right: The wobble examination was a various scenario. StandDesk Simple was the 2nd desk that I tested that wobbled near the bottom with weight on the desktop. The first was the IKEA Bekant. By the time it got to 36″ the shaking motion was bad. Yet factor it would impact your job.

With Cross Support

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

Entrusted to Right: Adding the cross support to the StandDesk enhanced the wobble movement for lower heights. With the cross support the wobble movement really did not begin until you got to 35″. By 39″ the wobble movement ended up being negative.

Note: It’s extremely essential with adjustable standing desks to completely tighten all hardware. If there is hardware that is not completely limited, the movement experienced when included standing elevation will be exaggerated. This is particularly true with a desk frame that consists of 32 screws, there are far too many factors at which the desk has a possibility to move.

Conclusion

Like all the Chinese bases we have actually checked in our laboratories, we need to narrow our referral on the StandDesk Pro to much shorter individuals with narrower desktop computers, as the stability just isn’t there for a huge mass elevated high off the ground. American-made workdesks will be better suited to these applications, and also for a rather obvious reason. Basically all American-made bases are made in United States manufacturing facilities that are owned by Swedish, Danish or German companies that developed this market, and also their ordinary residents are a whole lot taller than the average Oriental consumer, so they began making longer-stroke training legs a long time back. As well as they have even more robot automation, laser-cutting tools, and also sheer experience making standing workdesk bases, obviously.

Yet if you’re not also high, do not have an extreme quantity of hefty tools on your desktop, and also do not require also wide of a workdesk, the StandDesk Pro will certainly offer you good bang for your buck.

All that could alter with Yu’s assured StandDesk Pro 2.0 layout that he anticipates to release sometime 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 emerge, and also Yu states he’s had difficulty getting the product high quality he requires out of several Chinese factories he’s attempted working with. The brand-new layout is allegedly mosting likely to be a lot easier to put together as well as have a heftier crossbar layout, among other improvements. He states the new base will be supplied in both a “T-Leg” as well as “C-Leg” arrangement, reducing our problem about side-load stressing on the lifting columns.

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

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