ABOUT THE WATER BOTTLE - I accidentally left the water bottle I used for this test in my car (in the hot sun) and it deformed. I didn't have another one and had to film. This was not an attempt to exaggerate wobble. I have plenty of other things on the desks so you can see everything else wobble. *Links + Coupon Codes Below* - Please use them as it costs you nothing, but helps keep the channel going! *DeskHaus (USA)* *IF YOU'RE USING A VPN, THE COUPON CODES WON'T WORK!

I waited for a sale and got the 60"x30" from Vari for under $600 with tax. I use it around 45" when standing and it is very stable. No wobble unless I'm actively trying to shake the desk; even then I only get a little monitor shake. The Deskhaus 20-year leg warranty is pretty sick though.

Have you considered a slick glass desktop? I might do that. I would cut it so only the main section, including area with the monitors needs to rise up...maybe a nice 48" wide section. No need to stress the motors lifting a 60" or wider area everyday if it is not necessary IMO.

Flexispot makes the E7Q "Odin" now that also has the quad motor quad leg design, and it's arguably even more robust than this design because the legs are pushed all the way out to the corners of the frame. AND it goes just as low as this desk. I'd love to see a comparison between that and the Deskhaus Apex Pro.

The Evodesk is over 2x the price. Looks fancy, but quite pricey! Other factors to consider: Desk Haus is made in America and In terms of warranty and customer service, I’ve seen desk haus really active on both Standing Desk and Desk Haus forums.

I recently bought an Uplift Adjustable Height Conference Desk - 8' x 3'-6" (96" x 42")with bamboo top. It's expandable to 9' x 3'-6" (108" x 42"). I have the expansion leaf but my room would be too cramped at the 9' length. I added heavy-duty casters so I can move the desk around. The desk is absolutely rock solid and sturdy. It has 4 heavy metal legs and horizontal support bars connecting two legs on each side. The desk is so heavy the instructions recommended that 4 people flip it over. I flipped in on my own but it was quite challenging. Shipping was amazing with everything properly padded and protected. The electrical operation is super smooth and I added a Bluetooth dongle so it can be controlled by an Android or iPhone. It all just works. If my room was larger I would have gotten the 9' x 5' (108" x 60") ping pong version. But my desk is big enough for back-to-back 48" OLED screens so I can sit on either side of the desk. The desk is freestanding. I want to do a review when everything is all set up because it is really something to see.

hey! so for this desk, I'm actually using Desk Haus' table top. Because of the weight I exert on it, I thought it would be better to get something thicker (Desk Haus is 1.75" thick I believe)! It's objectively not cheap, but relative to other brands selling the desk top in similar size and dimensions, it was a better value. Hope this helps!

Thank you for one of the best vids I've ever seen on standing desks. My desk wobbles, and I always assumed it's because my 70-year-old weak hands, with the help of my daughter, just didn't screw things together tight enough during assembly. I had no idea it was a common thing among all two-legged desks! On another note, I'm curious as to what monitor you are using as well as the stand (which appears to be two pieces, but hard to tell). I have a 34" and 27" monitor, and I've been wanting to go to something larger (ideally 48"), but every monitor I've looked at gets mixed reviews. So I'm curious if you're happy with yours, and if so, what it is exactly. Thanks again for a great vid! Karen 😊

You can buy your own top as stated in the video. Go buy an ikea top for like $20 and then when you’re ready to upgrade, can swap out whenever you want. This can be a con for some people, but it doesn’t “lock you in” to a set table top that you can only get from the manufacture. So if you ever want a larger desk top in the future, different colors, etc, then you can easily switch it out. it’s extremely simple to install your own top (lay it down and just screw it in from the bottom)

ahahahahahaha YESSS. One of us...one of us... Congrats on those awesome pick ups!! As for protecting wood from monitors, you've got a couple options. The first is to go with a desk mount monitor arm, and they should usually come with some kinda rubber grippy pads that should help grip to your desk without damaging it. Keep in mind that rubber MAY leave some kinda residue there after a longggg period of time. If you want to just go with the original monitor legs, then similar resolution - try to find FELT (not rubber) pads to put under your monitor legs. felt shouldn't leave any kinda residue, but rubber can. Final resolution would be to get a desk monitor stand...but be warned...you may find yourself yelling at me again....kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d-Bodt11sZPcf2Q.html

Nice video Dan. I purchased two fully jarvis bamboo desks and I regret it. I should have been patient and purchased the deskhaus. My fully desks aren't even stable at normal sitting height. I tend to keep my wrists/elbows on the desk when I type. When I do that, it pushes down on the desk way too much causing my monitors to wobble. In my opinion, that should not happen. My autonomous doesn't even do that. Either way, they are fine for now and at least they look nice.

I built my own using the autonomous pro legs on a completely custom desktop made of a rare maple. I have 3, 27" monitors attached to it AND 2 full size PCs on it. My gaming machine AND a server, both in full/mid size towers (Lian Li O11 Dynamic XL and an older NZXT) I also have a work laptop, mouse, keyboard and a VR headset on it. I'm 6ft tall, I have to raise it pretty high when I'm standing for work. I don't really experience the kind of wobble you are showing, not anywhere close. It's sitting on a flat, hard floor. So maybe you're exaggerating the wobble or the top of my desk is better at dealing with the movement, but I've been using it now for a couple years and it's been rock solid, one of the best decisions I've made since going WFH. Respectfully, you are doing the physics wrong. Having more weight on the table will reduce the amount of force it takes to wobble it a given distance. It will simply require more force than when it's empty. However, once you do get it wobbling, then it will stay in motion longer (Newtons 3rd law) I have probably 200lbs on/clamped to my desk (320lb max) and it doesn't wobble because I won't exert enough pressure to make it move. Sure, the monitors move but they're on arms and they'd wobble on the deskhaus because that's how frequency and vibrations work. Things extended out on an arm will work now more. But the desk itself, it takes A LOT to move, therefore it is stable UNTIL it is pushed hard enough. Which, I have several kids and I tend to lean on it, still haven't had that issue. But having 2 legs per side will do what you show. From years of experience, you're exaggerating the results and you got the math/physics wrong about weight.

@Ahnestly 11 ай бұрын

I noted that all the desks in the video are on carpeted floor, which I think many people have as their setup. This is why I did NOT include my standing desks at home in the various comparison shots - it would not be apples to apples. However, In terms of front to back wobble, my autonomous ergo pro still wobbles quite a bit at the higher heights. When you’re working, you may not experience a lot of wobble, but try taking your hand and pushing the front edge of your table top hard a few times. That’ll get the desk going. It may translate to slight shakes when working, but if leaning or you bump or something, means a bigger wobble. I went to Desk Haus’ warehouse, checked all the bolts/screws, and shook them myself and saw how much even high end standing desks from Herman miller, steelcase, autonomous, uplift, etc all wobble

A good reviewer is a good reviewer because they offer perspective on the entire landscape of a product, not just the product itself.
