Compare height adjustable desk models
Which desk frame is right for me?
The key difference between the UPLIFT V2 and UPLIFT V2-Commercial is the height range, the V2-Commercial frame travels 3" lower than the V2 and is a great choice for shorter people. The V2-Commercial frame was developed to satisfy all requirements of the ANSI/BIFMA G1-2013 height standard to ergonomically accommodate 95% of office workers (people between 5' and 6'3" tall).
UPLIFT V2 Desk Frame
Height range with a 1" thick desktop: 25.3" to 50.9"
Travel range: 25.6"
User height range: Works for most people 5'4" to 6'9" tall
The stability braces at the top of each V2 desk leg maximize stoutness and eliminate side-to-side wobble to match the stability of the V2-Commercial desk without the need for a crossbar.

UPLIFT V2-Commercial Desk Frame
Height range with a 1" thick desktop: 22.6" to 48.7"
Travel range: 26.1"
User height range: Works for most people 5' to 6'3" tall
The V2-Commercial desk has a 3" lower starting height and a ½" larger overall height adjustment range than the V2 frame. The legs are thicker and connected by a lower crossbar.

4'8" tall or less?
Choose the V2-Commercial desk and consider a keyboard tray to decrease the seated desktop working height by up to 5".

Between 4'8" & 6'9" tall?
Choose either the V2 or V2-Commercial desk, and if less than 5 feet tall, consider a keyboard tray to decrease the seated desktop working height by up to 5".

Using a treadmill or over 6'9" tall?
Treadmills can raise your standing height by up to 8". For example, a 6'1" tall person using an 8" high treadmill fits a V2 desk. For an even taller desk add desk casters or a keyboard tray.

Measure your working heights
We recommend measuring your standing and seated working heights to ensure you select the best desk.

How to measure your standing height
Stand and measure from the floor to your 90° bent elbow. If your standing height is above 48.7", we recommend choosing the V2 desk frame. If you're using a treadmill or motion board, factor that into your height.

How to measure your seated height
Sit and measure from the floor to your 90° bent elbow. If your seated height is below 25.3", we recommend choosing the V2-Commercial desk frame.
Factors that affect height
Shoes add about 1" to your standing height.
Standing motion boards raise your height 2" or more.
Casters raise desk height 2"–5", depending on the wheel model.
Treadmills raise your height up to 8".
Keyboard trays lower the ergonomic working position of your desk by up to 5", making the V2 desk suitable for users 4'8" and taller, and the V2-Commercial desk for users 4'3" and taller.
Certain keyboard trays can raise the working position by up to 3" without a track spacer (or 1" with one), making the V2 desk ideal for users up to 7'0” tall and the V2-Commercial desk for those up to 6'6”.

Greenguard-Gold Certified laminate desktops
Laminate is a durable desktop material that is scratch and water resistant. The desktop core is an 80% pre-consumer recycled wood fiber high-density particle board. Perfect for those who prefer consistent colors and matching patterns over the naturally random and unique qualities of solid wood. All UPLIFT laminates are Greenguard-Gold Certified (pdf), ensuring that they meet the world's most stringent chemical emissions standards for use in indoor spaces—perfect for homes, commercial spaces, schools, and healthcare environments.

Bamboo desktops
The world's fastest-growing plant, Moso bamboo, also makes one of our most popular desktop choices. Its rapid growth rate and strong constitution make it the hardest and most sustainable choice for a desktop material. Growing up to an inch per hour, bamboo quickly sprouts from its roots after being cut, avoiding soil erosion and the need for replanting. It uses significantly less water than trees, offering a sustainable and drought-tolerant solution.
At 1" thick, they are 33% thicker than competing bamboo desktops. The increased thickness of these beautiful desktops provides a larger and more attractive edge profile with increased sturdiness and longevity.
They feature rich tones and subtle grain variation, topped off with a UV-cured, low-VOC finish for improved durability and indoor air health. The carbonization process achieves the rich brown desktop hue by caramelizing the bamboo fibers with high heat.

Eco Curve desktops
Eco Curve desktops begin with a locally sourced, 1" thick high-grade MDF (medium density fiberboard) substrate created from 100% recycled materials certified by the Forestry Stewardship Council. The finish is applied by using a proprietary, deep thermoset infra-red technology which cross-links the epoxy powder coat with the MDF substrate at a molecular level for hardness and strength. The result is a seamless powder coat finish, ideal for the curved ergo edge. Eco Curve desktops have a low carbon footprint through the use of recycled materials and by avoiding edgebanding, backer boards, adhesives, and solvents.
With a center cutout, smooth corners, and softly beveled edges, our Eco Curve desktops let you reach more of your workspace. The finish is eco-friendly, UV-cured, and is applied to all sides (even the bottom) to create a durable and resilient surface. It’s a perfect finish for curved desktops that need to avoid seams on the front beveled edges. The finish has a light texture for an organic feel.

Solid Wood desktops
We plant five trees in U.S. National Forests for every solid wood desktop sold. With your help, that's over a hundred thousand trees per year through our partnership with the National Forest Foundation. This ensures the resources we enjoy today will continue to be available for future generations.
By using wood as a material, we can battle climate change by storing carbon. Trees feed on carbon dioxide in our atmosphere, trapping it in the form of wood. Wood desktops are better than carbon neutral—they are carbon negative, as long as the wood exists. We keep the cycle going by replacing harvested trees with new trees.
As they’re naturally produced, solid wood desktops come with asymmetrical lines, random grain patterns, variations in color, knots, tiny hairline cracks, and other natural irregularities. They reflect the untamed, pure habitat in which they grew and their imperfections are what make them desirable to begin with.

Butcher Block desktops present a durable and beautiful patchwork of wood planks with different grain patterns and colors.
The use of smaller wood pieces in Butcher Block Solid Wood desktops make them less expensive than Wide Plank Solid Wood desktops.
Rubberwood desktops
Pará rubber trees produce 99% of the world's natural rubber latex. The rubber production lifespan of these trees is about 25 to 30 years, after which they're considered spent. We give these trees a second life as a beautiful, solid wood, rubberwood desktop.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What's the point of a standing desk?
A standing desk offers a practical solution to the health challenges of prolonged sitting. They allow you to work while standing, relieving back tension and improving posture by engaging core muscles throughout the day. Beyond physical benefits, many users report increased energy, better focus, and improved mood. Standing naturally encourages movement and position changes, promoting better circulation and slightly higher calorie burn than sitting, which can help with weight loss. While not a complete solution to office health concerns, standing desks provide valuable versatility, allowing workers to adjust the height position for their desk and alternate between sitting and standing positions based on comfort and task requirements, incorporating the benefits of moving more during the work day.
How much weight can a standing desk hold?
UPLIFT standing desks offer exceptional weight capacity offering stability to support most workspace needs. The 2-leg models support an impressive 355 lb thanks to dual precision drive motors—one in each leg, unlike competitors' single motor designs. For more demanding setups, UPLIFT's 3-leg and 4-leg desks provide an exceptional 535 lb capacity with precision-drive motors in each leg, making them perfect for sprawling multi-monitor arrangements or specialized equipment. For those wondering "how much weight can my desk hold?", these robust specifications ensure UPLIFT desks can handle virtually any office configuration at any height without compromising stability or performance, even under maximum load conditions.
How high should a standing desk be?
The ideal height for an adjustable desk should position your work surface at or slightly below elbow level, creating a 90-degree angle in your arms when typing. This proper ergonomic positioning helps prevent strain in the shoulders, neck, and wrists while standing. However, optimal height varies significantly between individuals based on factors including overall height, arm length, and personal comfort preferences. Rather than relying on general guidelines, using our Ergonomic Calculator provides personalized measurements tailored to your specific body dimensions, ensuring your standing desk is positioned at the perfect height for your unique proportions and helping you avoid potential discomfort or injury from an improperly configured workstation.
Will a standing desk help with back pain?
Height-adjustable office desks can be effective in reducing back pain for many office workers by promoting better posture and reducing the strain caused by prolonged sitting. When used properly, standing encourages core muscle engagement and a more natural spinal alignment, potentially alleviating pressure on the lower back that often develops during long seated periods. Many users report significant improvement in chronic back discomfort after incorporating standing into their work routine. However, results vary between individuals, and standing improperly or for too long can potentially create new discomfort. The most effective approach combines both sitting and standing throughout the day, adjusting the height of your sit stand desk regularly, changing positions to prevent static postures, and maintaining proper ergonomics in both positions with correctly positioned monitors at eye level and supportive accessories.
Are standing desks good for you?
At UPLIFT Desk, we believe standing desks are a powerful tool for creating a healthier, more active workspace. While prolonged sitting is linked to issues like back pain and poor circulation, the real solution isn’t just standing—it’s movement. The benefits of our standing desks are designed to encourage dynamic posture shifts, helping users stay engaged and comfortable throughout the day. Research shows that alternating between sitting and standing can improve energy levels, reduce muscle stiffness, and support long-term well-being. Critics miss the bigger picture and sometimes claim that standing desks are overhyped, but they overlook the core issue: excessive sedentary behavior. A well-designed standing desk setup, paired with proper ergonomics and movement-friendly habits, empowers users to take control of their health and productivity.
How do I organize cables and wires on or under my standing desk?
Managing cables on a standing desk requires cable management that accommodate height adjustments while keeping workspaces tidy. There are many cable management options for standing desks. Using flexible cable management tools like our Magnetic Cable Channel safeguards cords during height adjustments. Mount a Wire Management Tray under your desk to house excess cord length, ensuring it's securely attached to move with your desk rather than remaining stationary. For optimal organization, consider our comprehensive wire management solutions designed specifically for height-adjustable workstations that combine functionality with clean aesthetics. Also, use Cable Management Clips to secure individual cords along predetermined routes, leaving enough slack to accommodate your desk's full range of motion without creating tension on plugs or equipment.
What size standing desk do I need?
When determining what size standing desk you need, start by measuring your available space to ensure the desk fits comfortably with room for movement, typically requiring a minimum clearance of 3-4 feet behind and to the sides. Choosing the perfect standing desk requires a closer look at desk dimensions. Consider your usage requirements by evaluating your primary work activities, monitor setup (single, dual, or triple), and storage needs, as these will dictate whether you need a compact 42" width or a spacious 80" surface with adequate depth (24" minimum for basic setups, 30" recommended for multiple monitors). Factor in ergonomic considerations by using UPLIFT's Ergonomic Calculator to determine optimal height settings and ensuring your desk has sufficient space for proper monitor placement at eye-level and comfortable keyboard/mouse positioning. Finally, assess workspace integration factors like power outlet access, floor stability, and room aesthetics to select a desk that seamlessly fits your environment while accommodating necessary accessories like monitor arms, keyboard trays, and cable management solutions.
