The StandDesk was produced by millennials, is marketed straight at millennials, and also has been gobbled up by millennials in impressive volumes. While it brings a ten-year guarantee (the longest of any Chinese-made base), in this situation it’s not always a reliable indicator of the expected helpful life of the lifting columns. For the rate, the StandDesk is an excellent lower-cost alternative to the UpLift, Jarvis as well as various other Chinese-made workdesks. Despite its security problems this is a much better item than the Autonomous SmartDesk or IKEA Bekant might ever before wish to be, as well as a good value on the whole. It’s the mid-priced offering in the broad group of Chinese-made workdesks that is winning over consumers from both its less costly and also pricier peers.

StandDesk Construction, Setup, and also Gizmos

Developing the desk is quite direct if you follow the thorough instructions. All of the screws, bolts, washers, and also spring washers can be found in different bags that are marked with their destination: table top, frame, and spares. There’s a consisted of hex tool for attaching every one of the bolts into the framework, or, pop in a hex little bit right into your power device– simply beware not to over-tighten.

Every one of the components have a premium quality surface to them with rounded edges to stay clear of 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 assembly also includes height-adjustable turning equipments to stabilize the front-to-back activity of the desk, which was very handy for the carpeted home office flooring. I’m also using a floor mat to shield the rug from chair wheel damage at resting elevation, and also push the chair when I’m transitioning to standing height.

Standdesk-Foot

The luxurious controller deserved the investment. The switches are all variable stress programmed, suggesting the up and down arrowheads will readjust the elevation by 1/10th of an inch with a solitary press, or constantly change the height by about 0.7 inches per second if you hold the button for two seconds. The memory buttons are similar in design: push to recall the height setting, or hold the button down for five secs to store a brand-new elevation value. I’m utilizing switch 1 for my resting setting and also button 4 for my standing placement, which offers me 2 as well as 3 for anything I could require in the future.

Using my Standdesk

I’ve been making use of the brand-new workdesk for a few weeks as well as have actually written down my initial impressions:

The motors are quiet but can be listened to in the following room over. It takes maybe 25 seconds for the desk to fully transition from sitting to standing based on my presets.
I make use of an Ergotron side-by-side monitor arm (particularly this LX model), creating the desk to obtain a little rocky when I shift my weight versus the key-board. In hindsight, I should have purchased the bar upgrade for my desk after establishing the weight of my displays. If you plan to do a dual display arrangement, get the crossbar.

Since gravity presses the discs in a human spinal column, I need to increase the desk higher in the morning as well as reduced it at night.

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

Performance

In spite of any problems I may have had with the mobile or the cookie-cutter style, virtually all of those issues washed away when I in fact came down to utilizing this point.

I really did not assume it was also feasible, the StandDesk in some way handles to be even a lot more steady than the Jarvis, both at resting as well as standing elevations. The majority of days I like to run my Jarvis at max elevation while pressed against my wall; not necessarily because it’s that wobbly, however even if I desire as much stability as I can obtain.

The StandDesk one ups the gambit even further, showing to be equally as consistent by itself at standing height as the Jarvis is with wall support. This is all without the company’s crossbar enhancement, which they declare adds even more stability when purchased as a part of the plan deal.When it comes to weight resistance, the StandDesk shares yet much more stats with the Jarvis, being ranked for approximately 350 pounds of weight capacity.

I’ve been utilizing the desk for concerning 3 weeks currently for day-to-day work (and following standing desk best methods), whether it’s inputting out reviews such as this one from our desktop or a laptop every so often. The desk holds up well against non-coastered beverages, 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 despite days of sweaty wrists wresting on it as well as multiple wipe downs with a rag.

Though I never intentionally try to damage any workdesks as well hard, throughout some lighter tests (throwing a set of tricks onto it from a distance, for instance), it still held up without a lot of noticeable indicators of damages.

When I measured the noise outcome of the desk while it climbed from a sitting placement to standing as well as back again, it was by much the quietest we have actually checked. I might hardly get it to make more than concerning 9.5 dB of sound, so if your most significant worry is the whirr of your electric motor, this is certainly the one for you.

Customer Service

Now, usually I do not consist of much regarding the customer support support of any kind of offered firm, just because I really feel that generally if a product functions the method its supposed to, I shouldn’t ever before have a factor to call them in the first place. And also while I wish I might state that was the case throughout my experience with StandDesk, I merely can’t finish this testimonial without stating the many, seemingly endless problems I came across trying to get my desk put together.

For beginners, the desk I was sent out really did not have any kind of memory handset consisted of initially, which suggested I had no other way of actually managing the up/down feature on the desk itself. I contacted StandDesk regarding this problem, who got back to me around a day later with an apology as well as a promise that a brand-new one would be shipped soon.

Standdesk evaluation handset

The source of all our problems …
Concerning four days later on a mobile got here in the mail. The handset at first switched on, yet it wasn’t long prior to I noticed that none of the programmable buttons functioned, nor did the down switch, but for some reason the “memory” switch managed the down feature just fine. I called the business once again, and they apologized for the mixup as well as stated they would have a new panel and control box out to me within the week.

Over 2 weeks later my new panel and also control box showed up. When I installed them both the desk finally began working the way it was supposed to, but not after practically a month of waiting and also back and forth with a business that couldn’t bear in mind to ship a core element of their product inside the same box from the get-go.

Points to Take into consideration

Regardless of its bankable features, this stand up workdesk likewise has its very own disadvantages. Because no single stand workdesk might record every one of the features that you might need, you might think about these in your decision-making.

Absence of a Bar as criterion

Not having a supporting bar is definitely not a deal-breaker, especially considering a few of our other favored desks such as the Totally Jarvis additionally don’t have one. In fact, this workdesk does have one if you want, yet it is a paid add-on (more on this later on as well).

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

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

Additionally, StandDesk does offer a different add-on bar that you can contribute to the desk yourself, just for an added $49.95.

Security

The stability of a standing workdesk is one of the most vital facets of these desks. Without a stable workdesk you’ll find it difficult to focus, which might bring about you ending up being less interested in utilizing the desk at standing elevation. To get the best return on your investment, you’ll wish to more than happy when making use of the desk.

Due To The Fact That the StandDesk Simple is the initial workdesk that I have examined with an optional cross assistance, I will certainly break down my security examinations into two sections. Both examinations will include the common front to back shaking test and a delegated appropriate wobble. The initial will lack the cross assistance and also the second will be with it. Just to keep in mind, StandDesk.co states that the enhancement of the cross assistance can increase security by up to 15%. I have no suggestion exactly how they came up with that number.

Without Cross Assistance

Left to Right: The wobble test was a different circumstance. StandDesk Simple was the second desk that I evaluated that wobbled near the bottom with weight on the desktop computer. The initial was the IKEA Bekant. By the time it reached 36″ the rocking motion was bad. Yet factor it would affect your job.

With Cross Assistance

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

Delegated Right: Adding the cross support to the StandDesk improved the wobble movement for reduced elevations. With the cross assistance the wobble motion didn’t start till you reached 35″. By 39″ the wobble activity became bad.

Note: It’s really vital with adjustable standing desks to completely tighten up all hardware. If there is hardware that is not completely tight, the motion experienced when extended to standing elevation will be overemphasized. This is especially real with a desk structure that consists of 32 bolts, there are much way too many points at which the desk has a chance to relocate.

Final thought

Like all the Chinese bases we’ve evaluated in our laboratories, we have to narrow our referral on the StandDesk Pro to shorter users with narrower desktop computers, as the security simply isn’t there for a large mass raised high off the ground. American-made desks will be better suited to these applications, and for a rather evident reason. Basically all American-made bases are made in United States manufacturing facilities that are possessed by Swedish, Danish or German companies that designed this sector, and also their typical people are a great deal taller than the average Oriental consumer, so they began making longer-stroke training legs a long period of time earlier. As well as they have even more robot automation, laser-cutting devices, and also sheer experience making standing desk bases, obviously.

Yet if you’re not too high, don’t have an excessive quantity of heavy devices on your desktop, and also don’t require too wide of a workdesk, the StandDesk Pro will certainly provide you excellent value.

All that could transform with Yu’s assured StandDesk Pro 2.0 style that he expects to launch at some time in the future. Originally we were informed we ‘d see it by June 2018. Greater than a year later on it has yet to appear, and Yu states he’s had problem obtaining the item top quality he requires out of a number of Chinese manufacturing facilities he’s tried collaborating with. The new style is allegedly mosting likely to be a lot easier to put together and have a heftier crossbar layout, among other refinements. He claims the brand-new base will certainly be provided in both a “T-Leg” as well as “C-Leg” configuration, alleviating our problem about side-load worrying on the training columns.

If this new base ever before comes to market we’ll update you here. But we’re not holding our breath any longer as one of the most current news on the company is that Yu closed the little Los Angeles office and has relocated it to join with all its other employees in southeast Asia.

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

The StandDesk was created by millennials, is marketed straight at millennials, as well as has been gobbled up by millennials in impressive quantities. While it carries a ten-year service warranty (the lengthiest of any kind of Chinese-made base), in this case it’s not always a reputable sign of the anticipated useful life of the lifting columns. But for the cost, the StandDesk is a terrific lower-cost choice to the UpLift, Jarvis as well as other Chinese-made workdesks. In spite of its stability concerns this is a far better product than the Autonomous SmartDesk or IKEA Bekant could ever before intend to be, and a good value overall. It’s the mid-priced offering in the wide group of Chinese-made desks that is winning over clients from both its more affordable as well as costlier peers.

StandDesk Construction, Setup, and also Devices

Developing the desk is rather simple if you comply with the comprehensive guidelines. All of the screws, screws, washing machines, as well as spring washers been available in different bags that are marked with their location: table top, framework, and also spares. There’s an included hex device for fastening every one of the screws into the structure, or, pop in a hex bit into your power device– just be careful not to over-tighten.

All of the parts 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 setting up also includes height-adjustable rotation gears to maintain the front-to-back motion of the desk, which was extremely valuable for the carpeted home office flooring. I’m likewise using a flooring mat to secure the rug from chair wheel damage at sitting height, and press the chair when I’m transitioning to standing height.

Standdesk-Foot

The deluxe controller deserved the financial investment. The buttons are all variable pressure programmed, meaning the up and down arrows will certainly readjust the elevation by 1/10th of an inch with a solitary press, or continuously change the elevation by around 0.7 inches per 2nd if you hold the button for two seconds. The memory switches are comparable in design: press to recall the height setup, or hold the button down for 5 secs to store a brand-new height value. I’m using button 1 for my resting position and switch 4 for my standing placement, which provides me 2 and also 3 for anything I could need in the future.

Using my Standdesk

I have actually been using the brand-new desk for a couple of weeks and also have actually written down my preliminary impacts:

The motors are quiet yet can be heard in the next area over. It takes possibly 25 secs for the desk to totally shift from sitting 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 get a little rough when I change my weight versus the keyboard. In knowledge, I must have acquired the bar upgrade for my desk after identifying the weight of my displays. If you prepare to do a dual display setup, get the bar.

Due to the fact that 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 necessary for long period of time standing. I bought an Octagonal floor covering from SmartCells, utilizing rubber “cells” that are imagined listed below.

Efficiency

Despite any type of issues I might have had with the phone or the cookie-cutter style, virtually every one of those concerns washed away when I really came down to utilizing this point.

I didn’t assume it was also possible, the StandDesk somehow handles to be even much more stable than the Jarvis, both at sitting and standing elevations. Most days I like to run my Jarvis at max height while pushed versus my wall surface; not always due to the fact that it’s that shaky, but just because I want as much stability as I can obtain.

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

I’ve been making use of the desk for concerning 3 weeks currently for day-to-day work (and complying with standing workdesk best practices), whether it’s inputting out reviews similar to this one from our desktop computer or a laptop computer once in a while.

Though I never purposefully try to damage any type of workdesks also hard, throughout some lighter tests (tossing a set of keys onto it from a range, as an example), it still stood up without way too many visible indicators of damages.

Lastly, when I determined the sound outcome of the desk while it increased from a sitting placement to standing and also back once again, it was by far the quietest we have actually evaluated yet. I might barely get it to make greater than concerning 9.5 dB of noise, so if your largest worry is the whirr of your electric motor, this is absolutely the one for you.

Customer care

Currently, typically I don’t include much regarding the customer care assistance of any offered business, only because I feel that in general if a product works the way its meant to, I should not ever before have a reason to call them in the first place. As well as while I want I might say that held true during my experience with StandDesk, I just can not complete this evaluation without mentioning the countless, seemingly unlimited problems I encountered attempting to obtain my desk put together.

For beginners, the desk I was sent out didn’t have any kind of memory mobile consisted of initially, which suggested I had no other way of actually regulating the up/down function on the desk itself.

Keep in mind: It’s extremely essential with adjustable standing desks to totally tighten up all hardware. If there is equipment that is not totally tight, the movement experienced when reached standing height will be exaggerated. This is particularly real with a desk structure that includes 32 screws, there are much way too many points at which the desk has a possibility to move.

Conclusion

Like all the Chinese bases we have actually evaluated in our laboratories, we need to tighten our suggestion on the StandDesk Pro to much shorter customers with narrower desktops, as the stability simply isn’t there for a large mass raised high off the ground. American-made workdesks will certainly be better fit to these applications, as well as for a fairly obvious reason. Virtually all American-made bases are made in United States manufacturing facilities that are possessed by Swedish, Danish or German business that created this sector, and their ordinary citizens are a whole lot taller than the typical Oriental consumer, so they started making longer-stroke training legs a very long time earlier. And they have even more robot automation, laser-cutting tools, and large experience making standing workdesk bases, it goes without saying.

If you’re not too high, don’t have an inordinate quantity of heavy devices on your desktop, and don’t need as well broad of a workdesk, the StandDesk Pro will provide you great bang for your dollar.

All that could transform with Yu’s assured StandDesk Pro 2.0 layout that he anticipates to release 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, as well as Yu states he’s had trouble obtaining the product high quality he needs out of several Chinese manufacturing facilities he’s attempted dealing with. The brand-new layout is supposedly going to be much easier to assemble and have a heftier crossbar design, among other refinements. He says the new base will be provided in both a “T-Leg” as well as “C-Leg” arrangement, alleviating our issue about side-load emphasizing on the training columns.

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

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

The StandDesk was produced by millennials, is marketed directly at millennials, and also has actually been gobbled up by millennials in outstanding volumes. While it lugs a ten-year guarantee (the longest of any kind of Chinese-made base), in this instance it’s not always a reputable sign of the expected helpful life of the training columns. For the rate, the StandDesk is a fantastic lower-cost choice to the UpLift, Jarvis as well as other Chinese-made workdesks. In spite of its stability issues this is a far much better item than the Autonomous SmartDesk or IKEA Bekant might ever before want to be, and also 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 costlier peers.

StandDesk Construction, Arrangement, as well as Devices

Building the desk is pretty easy if you comply with the detailed guidelines. All of the screws, screws, washers, and spring washing machines come in separate bags that are noted with their location: tabletop, frame, as well as spares. There’s an included hex tool for attaching every one of the screws right into the structure, or, pop in a hex bit into your power tool– just be careful not to over-tighten.

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

Standdesk-Leg

The foot assembly likewise includes height-adjustable turning gears to support the front-to-back motion of the desk, which was really valuable for the carpeted home office floor. I’m also making use of a flooring mat to secure the carpeting from chair wheel damage at resting height, as well as press the chair when I’m transitioning to standing height.

Standdesk-Foot

The deluxe controller was worth the investment. The switches are all variable stress configured, suggesting the up and down arrowheads will adjust the height by 1/10th of an inch with a solitary press, or constantly readjust the height by about 0.7 inches per 2nd if you hold the switch for two secs. The memory switches are similar in style: press to remember the elevation setting, or hold the button down for five secs to keep a new height worth. I’m using button 1 for my sitting placement and also switch 4 for my standing placement, which provides me 2 and also 3 for anything I might need in the future.

Standdesk-Memory-unit

Utilizing my Standdesk

I have actually been making use of the brand-new desk for a few weeks and also have written down my preliminary impressions:

The motors are quiet but can be heard in the following room over. It takes possibly 25 seconds for the desk to completely shift from resting to standing based on my presets.
I utilize an Ergotron side-by-side keep track of arm (specifically this LX version), creating the desk to obtain a little rough when I shift my weight versus the key-board. In knowledge, I ought to have bought the crossbar upgrade for my desk after figuring out the weight of my displays. If you prepare to do a twin display setup, obtain the bar.

Since gravity compresses the discs in a human back, I require to raise the desk higher in the early morning and also lower it in the evening.

An anti-fatigue mat is absolutely important for long period of time standing. I purchased an Octagonal floor covering from SmartCells, making use of rubber “cells” that are imagined listed below.

Efficiency

Regardless of any kind of problems I may have had with the handset or the cookie-cutter design, virtually all of those issues washed away when I actually got down to using this point.

I didn’t think it was even possible, the StandDesk somehow manages to be also a lot more stable than the Jarvis, both at resting as well as standing elevations. A lot of days I like to run my Jarvis at max elevation while pressed against my wall; not always due to the fact that it’s that unsteady, however just because I desire as much stability as I can obtain.

The StandDesk one ups the gambit even further, confirming to be equally as steady on its own 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 stability when bought as a part of the plan deal.When it involves weight resistance, the StandDesk shares yet a lot more stats with the Jarvis, being rated for approximately 350 pounds of weight ability.

I’ve been utilizing the desk for about 3 weeks currently for everyday work (and also adhering to standing desk finest practices), whether it’s inputting out reviews similar to this one from our desktop computer or a laptop every now and then. The desk holds up well against non-coastered drinks, and the finish on top of the desk still really feels just as smooth and slick as the day I opened it despite days of perspiring wrists wresting on it and also numerous wipe downs with a rag.

I never ever intentionally try to dent any kind of workdesks also hard, throughout some lighter examinations (throwing a collection of secrets onto it from a distance, for example), it still held up without too numerous noticeable signs of damages.

When I determined the sound outcome of the desk while it rose from a resting placement to standing and also back once again, it was by much the quietest we’ve examined. I might hardly get it to make more than about 9.5 dB of noise, so if your biggest concern is the whirr of your motor, this is absolutely the one for you.

Customer care

Currently, typically I do not consist of much about the client service assistance of any type of offered company, only due to the fact that I feel that as a whole if an item functions the way its intended to, I shouldn’t ever before have a reason to call them in the first place. And while I desire I might claim that was the case throughout my experience with StandDesk, I simply can not finish this review without stating the various, seemingly limitless troubles I ran into trying to obtain my workdesk put together.

For starters, the desk I was sent out didn’t have any memory mobile phone consisted of initially, which implied I had no way of actually managing the up/down function on the desk itself. I got in touch with StandDesk regarding this concern, that returned to me around a day later on with an apology and also a promise that a new one would be shipped out soon.

Standdesk evaluation handset

The source of all our troubles …
About four days later on a handset showed up in the mail. The phone originally switched on, yet it wasn’t long prior to I noticed that none of the programmable buttons worked, nor did the down switch, but for some factor the “memory” switch dealt with the down feature simply great. I called the company again, and they excused the mixup and stated they would have a brand-new panel as well as control box bent on me within the week.

Over 2 weeks later on my brand-new panel and control box showed up. As soon as I installed them both the desk ultimately began functioning the way it was supposed to, but not after virtually a month of waiting and also back and forth with a company that couldn’t keep in mind to ship a core part of their item inside the same box from the start.

Things to Take into consideration

Regardless of its bankable features, this stand workdesk additionally has its very own downsides. Given that no particular stand desk could catch all of the attributes that you might need, you might think about these in your decision-making.

Absence of a Crossbar as criterion

Not having a supporting bar is definitely not a deal-breaker, particularly considering a few of our various other favored workdesks such as the Completely Jarvis also don’t have one. Actually, this workdesk does have one if you want, however it is a paid add-on (extra on this later on as well).

The bar is seen by some as a limitation, making it more difficult to place your legs comfortably listed below the desk. Others, on the other hand, find that they supply included stability, often important when desks are fully extended.

We have not review any type of problems of the stability of this desk, so we don’t think its something to truly be worried regarding, although if you truly wanted a workdesk with a bar after that we suggest you have a look at the Varidesk ProDesk 60 Electric.

Conversely, StandDesk does offer a different add-on crossbar that you can include in the desk on your own, just for an additional $49.95.

Security

The security of a standing workdesk is just one of the most essential elements of these desks. Without a stable desk you’ll discover it difficult to focus, which could cause you ending up being less curious about making use of the desk at standing height. To obtain the best return on your financial investment, you’ll intend to more than happy when using the desk.

Because the StandDesk Simple is the very first workdesk that I have examined with an optional cross assistance, I will certainly break down my stability examinations right into two areas. Both tests will include the normal front to back rocking test and a left to appropriate wobble. The initial will lack the cross assistance and the secondly will be with it. Just to keep in mind, StandDesk.co says that the enhancement of the cross assistance can boost stability by approximately 15%. I have no idea just how they created that number.

Without Cross Assistance

Left to Right: The wobble examination was a various situation. StandDesk Simple was the second workdesk that I evaluated that tottered at the bottom with weight on the desktop. The initial was the IKEA Bekant. By the time it reached 36″ the shaking motion misbehaved. Yet factor it would certainly affect your work.

With Cross Support

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

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

Keep in mind: It’s extremely crucial with adjustable standing desks to totally tighten up all equipment. If there is equipment that is not totally tight, the activity experienced when included standing height will be exaggerated. This is especially true with a desk structure that consists of 32 bolts, there are much a lot of factors at which the desk has a chance to relocate.

Verdict

Like all the Chinese bases we’ve tested in our laboratories, we need to narrow our suggestion on the StandDesk Pro to shorter customers with narrower desktops, as the stability just isn’t there for a large mass raised high off the ground. American-made workdesks will certainly be much better suited to these applications, and for a relatively obvious factor. Virtually all American-made bases are made in United States manufacturing facilities that are owned by Swedish, Danish or German firms that designed this market, and also their average citizens are a lot taller than the ordinary Asian customer, so they began making longer-stroke lifting legs a very long time earlier. And they have far more robot automation, laser-cutting equipment, and also large experience making standing workdesk bases, it goes without saying.

But if you’re not too tall, don’t have an excessive amount of heavy devices on your desktop computer, and don’t require too wide of a desk, the StandDesk Pro will provide you excellent value.

All that might alter with Yu’s promised StandDesk Pro 2.0 design that he expects to release sometime in the future. Initially we were informed we ‘d see it by June 2018. Greater than a year later on it has yet to appear, and also Yu states he’s had difficulty obtaining the product quality he requires out of a number of Chinese manufacturing facilities he’s tried working with. The brand-new style is apparently going to be a lot easier to put together and also have a heftier crossbar design, to name a few improvements. He says the new base will certainly be offered in both a “T-Leg” and “C-Leg” configuration, reducing our worry about side-load stressing on the training columns.

If this brand-new base ever pertains to market we’ll update you below. Yet we’re not holding our breath any type of longer as the most current news on the firm is that Yu shut the tiny Los Angeles office as well as has actually relocated it to accompany all its various other employees in southeast Asia.

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