Why use a standing desk?

Humans were designed to move

Switch between sitting and standing throughout the day to improve health, comfort, and productivity. Ergonomists like to say that the best posture is your next posture. We all need to keep moving instead of straining to maintain a "perfect posture" for long periods.

Stand at the perfect height

Take a break from sitting and stand tall at a stable desk.

Sit at the perfect height

Adjust your seated desk height, to enable perfectly straight wrists while typing and mousing.

Freedom through movement

Eliminate the feeling of being trapped at your desk and gain freedom through motion.

Invest in yourself

A desk is the cornerstone of an office. It's where work gets done. We all want an office designed to make our body feel good while we do great work. The most impactful and useful office furnishing is a quality stand-up desk that's configured and optimized with accessories. Visit the Benefits of a Standing Desk page to learn more.

L-Shaped UPLIFT Standing Desk

With room to spare, this desk is a great multitasker. The L-shaped design maximizes the amount of reachable desk space to keep everything at hand and just the right height. Rather than reorganizing to switch gears or burying the keyboard under paperwork, give projects a little breathing room.

Move the extra space to either side with a return that attaches securely on both the right and left to suit changing spaces and needs. The versatile and flexible L shape also makes this a great corner desk, equally well suited for the office and working from home.

The L-Shaped UPLIFT Standing Desk is built on the industry-leading, award-winning height adjustable UPLIFT V2 Frame. It's the same frame design as our 2-leg desk, Wirecutter's standing desk pick for seven years running.

  • Patented accessory mounting system - The desk frame includes 48 threaded bolt holes to securely attach accessories directly to the steel desk frame.

  • Rock-solid stability - We're laser focused on being the most stable sit-stand desk in the industry.

  • Built to last - Built with heavy-duty steel construction for unmatched durability and stability.

  • Three precision-drive motors - With one motor housed in each leg, the L-Shaped Standing Desk boasts a total lifting capacity of 535 lb and whisper-quiet operation below 48-dB.

  • 3-stage legs - 33% faster movement and 33% more height range than competing desks with 2-stage legs.

  • One-touch adjustment - Simply tap to change desk height and conveniently keep moving.

  • Free wire management included - The cable management system keeps cords tidy.

  • Advanced anti-collision system - Six-axis electronic gyroscope sensor in control box measures desk motion for more accurate and reliable collision avoidance.

  • Simple assembly - Watch us assemble a desk in 7 minutes. Do it yourself or use our affordable assembly service.

  • ANSI/BIFMA - All UPLIFT Desks pass the stability, strength, safety, and durability testing requirements per ANSI/BIFMA X5.5-2021 desk and table products standard. 

  • Free design services - Outfitting a commercial office? We offer complimentary design services.

  • 15-year warranty on all UPLIFT Desk products - That means 100% of the desk (including all parts of the desk frame AND the desktop) and all UPLIFT accessories are covered for 15 years. We're here to satisfy and keep you moving!

Stay in the zone

L-shaped desks provide extra space within the three work zones shown in the diagram. The wraparound design keeps everything at a natural reach, reducing strain and making it easier to maintain a comfortable posture.

Primary Zone: Located approximately 15" to 17" from the user, this zone is best for items that are used most frequently (like a keyboard and mouse).

Secondary Zone: Located approximately 27" from the user, items placed here can be reached without leaning. It's a good space for your phone, beverage, notepads, reference materials, or calculator.

Tertiary Zone: The third zone stretches 42" to 45" from the user. It's a good space for lamps, sunglasses, or books.

Pick a side, any side

The L-shaped desk returns can be built to either side of the main desktop. You can view a left or right return in the desk configurator, but this doesn't affect your order. You'll make the final left or right return decision when assembling the desk. And don't worry—you can always switch it as your space or needs change.

Designing for Sustainability & Durability

Mindful packaging design

Our package design has two goals: protect the product & reduce environmental impact. All stand-up desk frame packaging is 100% recyclable and EPE foam-free. We are constantly working toward using better and less materials in all product packaging.

Designed to last

We believe office furniture should last at least 15 years. Short-lived “fast” furniture is unsustainable and harmful to the planet—and it’s simply not how we operate. UPLIFT Desk products are built to endure, and our support and warranty teams are here to ensure they do.

One desk, five trees

We plant 5 trees in National Forests for every solid wood desk sold. This approach offsets our environmental impact, preserving the resources we enjoy today for future generations.

As of 2025, we have planted over 405,000 trees with the National Forest Foundation. Wood ranks among the most sustainable materials, as it’s primarily composed of carbon—making it highly effective at both trapping and repurposing carbon.
