What Reddit says about Deskhaus

“I work from home full time, and I am an avid user of my personal computer. Thus... I was able to justify to myself to get a nice setup. It's also nice that I can use a little treadmill during boring meetings, or one of those balance boards to mess around with, etc. Sneak some squats in and what not. It's also nice if I'm checking on things while trying to make lunch, etc. "Sitting back down" at my desk feels like a bigger commitment than just "walking over real quick". Highly recommend. Deskhaus sells great frames made in America, I recommend the Apex Pro. It's 4 legs which is super sturdy, built like a god darn tank. And then for the top surface, I'd say just get a pre-stained countertop from Home Depot. 60-72"/30" dimensions. Then treat with a few thin passes of wipe on polyurethane, and drill it on. Yes, my setup is $1300, but also the frame has a 20 year warranty and I use it over 8 hours a day. It's the same reason you should get yourself a quality desk chair, a quality mattress, and a quality chef's knife.”

“Ive read reviews when I was doing research before purchasing that talk about the Flexispot having alot of wobble, but I dont have any first hand experience with it. Thats all the feedback I have has I ended up going with the Apex 2 leg from deskhaus.”

“Consider r/deskhaus Putz is a great dude to work with sourcing a lot local to himself.”

“I just set up the deskhaus peak pro (it has four legs) and it has no discernible wobble at any height, though for some reason my monitor would pick up a little motion and I put a foam block under it on the side (like a second little "stand") and it's TOTALLY solid. I'm 6'1" so was told I needed a four leg model. But at like $800 it's not cheap.”

“I'm 6'1" have the peak pro and it's solid. My monitor sits on it on a stand in its center, I did put a block under one end of it because it moved a TINY BIT (that fixed it), but yeah, I feel like I'm pretty sensitive to movement and it's solid.”

“Our Peak series has wedges for lateral stability. I should have mentioned the Apex Pro Max too but thats almost double the price so unless you want a rock....it's hard to justify. https://preview.redd.it/5tndrmv5hegg1.jpeg?width=450&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f71e53aefb8419ee1967ec5f84d52119de3de062”

“Okay, I'm just gonna tell ya then....The wedge makes it more stable...period. But where it's more stable, I'd be willing to say, 80% of the people using are not going to experience it. Being manufactured stateside is the sole reason it's more money. Get the Peak Pro and rest easy.”

“I went with Deskhaus peak pro. Longer warranty and they've always been pretty responsive for me. I asked questions a few times on their help desk chat during closed hours and they've always responded first thing in the morning. And even continuing my questions after their first chat response, they responded immediately. I'd been considering getting a frame from Deskhaus since way back in 2021 when they were still selling the Vertex frames but never bit until now. Back then when I called, Chris had picked up immediately and he was genuinely really helpful answering all the questions I had. Didn't try to sell me on anything and they seem to really care about getting you a quality product (both frame and desk top) even if it's shipped across the country. Not just a business transaction. I ultimately didn't buy the Vertex frame back in 2021 and just stuck it out with my crappy IKEA desk until this year where I couldn't stand it anymore and bought the peak pro. I had almost bit on the Apex pro a year or 2 ago when they had a deal on it but hesitated and it sold out and I was kicking myself for it. But yeah the peak pro has been rock solid for me and it's quieter (when raising and lowering) and much more stable than standing desks I've used at work”

“Also they have the peak series that is a good bit cheaper, if you are really on a budget check out their peak 2 leg. Also if you do a quick google you can get a free top using the code “landfill” on certain frames”

“You're gonna have a lot of wobble at max height at that price point with 3 monitors if you're going for a all in one solution, and you're pretty limited on size if you want a proper frame. Best idea I can think of is getting the Peak frame from Deskhaus for $299 and sourcing a cheap top. Honestly the only thing I can think of off the top of my head. The cheapest uplift even if a laminate top and smallest size is still over $500”

“I was ready to pull the trigger on something just like this, but what killed it for me was the fact that there is a bar in the back of the 4 leg Uplift frame that prevents quality monitor arms like Ergotron and Humanscale from mounting. I saw you can remove that bar, but I despise that kind of design. I went with Deskhaus Peak Pro and am having a walnut live edge 80x30 top made locally for $1200. Go find a lumber mill or wood molding specialist in the area outside of the city and get a better product for less.”

“Anyone looking for the sturdiest desk, nothing beats the Deskhaus Peak Pro.”

“If you're going to spend that kind of money, I would get at least the frame from Deskhaus. I'd get the cheaper import version. (Peak Pro) It's actually slightly better than the american-made one. And I'd go for the four leg model if you care about maximum stability. You can get a Walnut top from them that's the same size if you'd like.”

“Peak pro with rubber wood top. I love it!”

“Deskhaus Peak Pro absolutely best bang for your buck you can possibly get.”

“Peak Pro. Desk Haus is an American company that stands by their products. I have 3 desks from Desk Haus. First two were flawless. 3rd desk 1 motor connector got damaged in shipping and they sent replacement no questions asked. Great company. FlexiSpot is a nightmare. Just read some posts about warranty. FlexiSpot has “sales” to entice people, but they cut corners. Desk Haus price is comparable with no sales and great quality because of low overhead.”

“Uplift is usually seen as the golden standard. Very stable and seem to have good quality parts and good customer service. They "include" (built into the price) a lot of gifts (gimmicks) like a foot hammock, t shirt, etc into their purchase, which actually convinced me to keep shopping. Flexispot is often posted because they run permanent sales and give people discounts/cash back for posting reviews. Their design/quality doesn't seem too good. Deskhaus has good reviews and seems to be slightly better quality-wise than Uplift, though they aren't as big of a company. Their customer service also seems less polished, but still good (again, small company). I wanted a 4-leg frame and they were significantly cheaper for the Peak Pro ($725) than Uplift ($919) for just the frame, so I went with them. Uplift will probably be fine whether you want a 2 leg or 4 leg. If you want to save some money, getting a deskhaus frame and a top from Home Depot, Lowes, etc will probably end up being cheaper and a better overall desk.”

“At sitting height, pretty much any half-decent standing desk will be stable. If you're 5'4", 2 leg desks from a good company should still be stable at standing height. If you're 6'4", 2 leg desks will probably be unstable at standing height. I have a 4 leg desk and it's perfectly stable even at maximum height. I have to intentionally push it to see any monitor wobble. During normal use, there's nothing.”

“Deskhaus apex pro is what I have and it’s solid. I have dual monitors mounted on it as well as lights, mic, full size speakers, etc. it’s super stable and I love that it has 3 presets so I have one for sitting, one for standing, and one for my balance board.”

“I would buy Deskhaus. I have mine and is super stable and does its job. When I had an issue (day 1, bad part), it was resolved via overnight shipping.”

“You need to consider the depth issue. That monitor has a physical footprint of roughly 45-47 inches across, and once the tower takes a corner, you're eating into usable surface fast even on an XL frame. The Magnus Pro XL is actually 70 inches wide. The 59-inch figure is the standard Magnus Pro, not the XL. It has more room than the spec sheet suggests, but map out where everything actually lands and it gets tighter, especially if you're already planning to push the monitor back further to avoid eye strain. On load capacity, Desky's Dual Hardwood has a steel-reinforced top, which changes the equation if that's a factor. A 4-leg frame like the Apex Pro just handles off-center loads differently than a 2-leg T-frame. You almost have to experience the stability difference to really get it, but the thing just doesn't budge.”

“https://desk.haus/products/apex-pro-2?variant=43592854470877 It goes down to less than 2 feet and over 4 feet. Sturdiest desk I’ve found. Doesn’t even wobble. Even my old desk on my hair pin legs wobbled more than this beast.”

“I have a Desk Haus Apex Pro. It's a standing desk. Super solid. Doesn't really wobble at all. The top I have on it is from ikea. It's solid wood but I don't think they carry it anymore. It's over 5 years old. Uplift was the other brand I was looking at. I think standing desks are the way to go. Even if you don't want to stand its super nice to be able to make small adjustments to the height of your desk. You can line it up perfectly with your armrests or raise it if you're watching a video and eating. I actually stand with mine quite a bit. But what's really nice is most allow you to use your own top. So you can have the exact size desk you want at the exact height you want. In the future if you need or want to change desk size you can just get a new top.”

“Honestly, for a Samsung Odyssey G9 + full tower on the desk, I’d lean on 4-leg Apex Pro. A 2-leg T-frame like the Magnus Pro can handle it if you mount the tower carefully and use the XL, but the off-center load + extra weight is asking for motor strain and wobble over time. Apex Pro’s 4-leg design spreads weight more evenly, so your G9 stays stable and the frame lasts longer. If cable management is key, you could still do a Magnus-style setup with an add-on tray or clips, but for pure stability with that much concentrated weight, Apex Pro wins.”

“I’m 6ft and I have zero wobble. I have their Apex and Vertex desks. Both are rock solid. On Vertex I have a big ultrawide mounted and studio monitors. Peak has even better lateral (side to side) stability because of the wedge design on columns. Front to back, absolutely zero movement. Side to side, you have to really go out of hour way to push on it. I don’t trust FlexiSpot. They did their own comparison video and labeled a Desk Haus desk as their own. I’ve also heard their support is a bit of a nightmare. They have a forever sale to make you think you are getting a deal, but you are not. They use thinner gauge steel than Desk Haus. There is a big weight difference. I want to say their foot is 3lbs and Desk Haus is 9lbs. Might be remembering wrong, but I know it was a big diff. Chris the owner of Desk Haus does video comparisons, and FlexiSpot falls short. Chris is obsessed with quality and not cutting corners - it’s the reason he started Desk Haus. He has really pushed competitors to do better. He’s done follow-up comparisons of competitor desks and given them props for improving. I believe Uplift was one of the most recent ones. Because Desk Haus is a small American business that doesn’t ship oversees, Chris has been known to make recommendations of competitor desks available in Europe, for example. He is super knowledgeable, and knows who cheaps out and who doesn’t. All the above, many reasons why they come so highly recommended. I have 3 from them. My Vertex has an 80x36 heavy walnut top. I got an Apex with a 60x30 butcher block I bought from floor and decor. And I got one for my wife, 60x30 HPL (high pressure laminate). My brother has one as well. Something to keep in mind is they do have 2 leg desks to be competitive, but their main product is their 4 leg. No matter how good their 2 leg desks is, a 2 desk will have some movement and they are very upfront about that.”

“Desk Haus by a mile. With a high budget and the concerns you have, I would talk to them about your needs. Maybe go Bespoke. The owner Chris is amazing. US based, small business. Doesn't cut corners. Their standard 4 leg options are rock solid, less than $1300 on Apex with HPL. Peak is less because frame/steel is import. Apex frame is made in Michigan. I have 3 desks from them. My solid walnut 80x36 with Vertex frame cost me just over $3k with Bosch motors. My other two are Apex. Apex motors are better, metal internals vs Bosch has some plastic. Vertex frame is fixed length and beefier though. They don't sell Vertex on site anymore. Apex/Peak is adjustable width and are still very good. Minor lateral movement (side to side) between Apex vs Peak/Vertex (better). You really have to push. Front to back, zero movement. Avoid 2 leg options. Desk Haus has 2 leg options and they are good, but they don't recommend them. They carry 2 leg to be competitive. They highly recommend 4 leg over 2.”

“Depends on what you’re willing to spend. That said: weigh out or at-least approximate the weight of everything on your desk. If a 2 leg one can support it, save money and go that route. If it weighs more go 4 leg. 4 legs have more stability, but it’s really not a big deal unless your standing all the time and/or leaning on it and whatnot. I bought the DeskHaus 4 legs cause I wanted future proofing Incase I do some unexpected shit later, also because they had the only frame to fit my 96” x 36” desk. Anyway I’m sure others will have their opinions as well. Of the three you mentioned, Uplift is the only one I’m well familiar with. I almost went with them myself. Good company with good options. Just depends what you are looking for and what your budget is.”

“I did a lot of research on this and deskhaus is the best by far. It is a little pricier, but the stability is unmatched and is actually cheaper than other desks that offer the same stability. Mine is rock solid after years of having it.”

“For a big heavy setup like yours - definitely [Deskhaus](https://desk.haus/)!”

“It would probably be fine, but extreme strength and stability is what Deskhaus is known for!”

“Here’s how I see the standing desk market right now, in January 2026. **“Amazon Specials” like Claiks, ErGear, HUANUO etc. - Primary consideration: Budget.** These are frankly total trash, probably even worse than the cardboard boxes I used for my first few years of standing. **Flexispot - Primary consideration: Value.** Buy here if your first consideration is budget but you don’t want garbage. Stick to E7 and above. **Secretlab - Primary consideration: Cable Management.** Buy here if you’re a gamer and/or you just can’t stand to see a cord. **Uplift - Primary consideration: Corporate Sales.** Buy here if you’re a purchasing manager (at work or at home). No one ever got fired for buying IBM. **DeskHaus - Primary consideration: Stability.** Buy here if you want to absolutely annihilate any and all wobble or sway, or if you need to support a massive desktop. **Branch - Primary consideration: Apartment Chic.** Buy here if your home office is also your living room. And where we think we fit in: **Ergodriven - Primary consideration: Ergonomics.** Buy here if you actually want to use your standing desk. That’s the need we identified. While these brands have innovated around the edges, no one has actually improved the ergonomics of standing desks in 10+ years. We all know the true benefit of standing desks isn’t just standing - it’s movement - both while you’re standing, and in changing positions throughout the day. Experts recommend switching between sitting and standing 20+ times per day. For example, the human ergonomics program at Cornell recommends the 20-8-2 rule: in every 30 minute period, sit 20 mins, stand 8 mins, and move/stretch for 2 mins. That is a lot to manage, especially when you have work to focus on. It’s 2026. You shouldn’t be relying on willpower or setting phone timers to remember to use your expensive desk for its only purpose. **Your desk should monitor your presence and position, and automatically move for you.** That's what we think anyway. So that’s exactly what our Tempo Desk does. It’s the only standing desk you’re guaranteed actually to use! And so far people love it! You can see reviews on [this page](https://ergodriven.com/products/the-ergodriven-standing-desk). BTW if you already have one of those desks above (or have your heart set on them for the totally valid reasons I listed), you can still get our [Tempo controller](https://ergodriven.com/products/tempo-smart-controller-for-standing-desks) and just swap out your controllers in a few minutes (Tempo is compatible with all the brands above - and many others - except the “Amazon Specials”).”

“If your main focus is strength and stability, go with deskhaus, that’s their main focus too”

“Of those options, E7+ would be most stable. But if stability is your #1 concern, go with deskhaus, that’s their thing. Btw the [Tempo Controller](https://ergodriven.com/products/tempo-smart-controller-for-standing-desks) works with all those options except vernal, which we’re adding soon!”

“Can confirm. I’ve had one for about 6 months and it’s a beast. I’ll never need another desk again. My kids and their kids may just keep passing it down the line.”

“Deskhaus is solid”

“I did like two weeks of research on standing desks last year. If you want the best (in the US) look at [DeskHaus](https://desk.haus). Get a 4-leg model (Apex Pro for me). Buy once. Cry once. I am not affiliated in the slightest.”

“Define long term. I have deskhaus, and I love it. I bought the base, and added some locally sourced slabs and some Chinese casters. I really appreciate the ownerships responsiveness to any issues (we had supply chain issues shortly post pandemic).”

“Not cheap, but I've been satisfied with my DeskHaus Apex Pro 4 leg frame and High Pressure Laminate top.”

“After a lot of research I went with DeskHaus' Apex Pro 4 leg frame and High Pressure Laminate top. Not cheap but excellent quality and very stable.”

“I've had my DeskHaus Apex Pro 4 leg frame with high pressure laminate top for 4 years. Zero issues, super stable, but not cheap”

“Deskhaus I’m the same height and I put 4 inch casters on mine too for when I’m using my walking pad”

“It’s the best money can buy. Watch Putz’s stabilization videos on YouTube. Uplifts are dogshit”

“Hey folks, I know a version of this has been asked a lot, but I'm gonna ask again anyway because it looks like some new models have appeared and I'm curious to see what the general recommendation is. I have been full time WFH since the start of the pandemic and don't plan to ever go back to an office. The one item I do miss from the office (outside of "free" food) is my standing desk. So I'm looking to upgrade my 72x25" to a \~72x30" standing desk. Stability is very important to me as I'm pretty sensitive to the wobble, even from my current setup. I am on carpet and don't plan to use casters. It looks like there are generally 3 brands that are recommended: * Flexispot E7 Plus Max - $700 Frame only (no horizontal stabilizer option that I can find) * Uplift 4-Leg v2-Commercial - $1,088 Frame only * Deskhaus Apex Pro Max - $1,500 Frame only The Deskhaus has a 20 year warranty listed, while the other 2 have 15 year options, but I don't know how long the other 2 companies have been around and Deskhaus appears to be a relatively young company, so while the warranty is great, if they aren't around long enough to take advantage if necessary then it appears that it won't amount to much. The biggest pro I see with the Deskhaus is that it appears to have the shortest-depth top for connecting to the actual desktop. That should give additional options for mounting the dual monitor arm I currently have. The Uplift appears to have wider spacing with their legs, which should help with stability, but obviously makes some monitor arms more tricky to mount. The Flexispot has no horizontal stabilizer option, but the videos do appear to be relatively stable, and the cost being the lowest either means they are selling more volume and thus can offer a cheaper price, or it's just not as well built as the others. So, with a focus on stability, and having a desk "for life", what's the general consensus among folks here? Will the flexispot be enough, or should I really spend 2x on the Deskhaus? Note: I know some companies offer trial periods, but I'd rather not deal with the back and forth of returning and swapping.”

“Well, 5 days later, 2k views on the post and sadly still not a peep. For what it's worth, I decided to go with the Deskhaus Apex Pro due to it being a partially made in the USA product, and generally positive reviews on it over the competition. I chatted with the guys at Deskhaus and they seemed to think the Apex Pro was the best fit for the majority of folks, so I decided it should work for me as well. I also purchased a maple butcher block top from HD in 72"x39" that I'm gonna rip down to 72"x30"(ish) and coat. I'll report back in a few weeks once it's assembled to give my thoughts for others looking, but I'm hoping to be blown away.”

“My Deskhaus is rock solid, and might even be heavier than me with the butcher block top. Highly recommend.”

“Having owned an older model of theirs and compared them to other brands, they are much sturdier and less wobbly. https://g.co/gemini/share/e4f68f37c279”

“Not sure why not. It's just aggregated from reviews and posts... And yes, I have personal experience and the Gemini response mirrors my personal experience. You get what you pay for. I had two standing desks before and the older desk.haus model I have is miles better. The new ones are even nicer (but more expensive).”

“Which of the mainstream brands are of the same quality? That's what I'm saying... In my experience, none are. It's more evident the more weight you put on them or the higher you raise the desk.”

“I'm 5'8 and I use a standing desk at work (2 legged, some Herman Miller model think), and a desk at home (4 legged, deskhaus). I typically keep the height around the 40"-44" height. I think it's important to know your personal habits and what you'd be using the desk for. For most computing and office tasks on the 2 legged, it's great, no wobble. Typing, writing, placing multiple laptop/small objects, lightly placing elbows on top. However, I have seen annoying cases with the 2 legged that don't happen with my 4 legged at home that come from my habits. I tend to lean very often into my desk as I'm thinking, and depending how hard and suddenly I lean, it can shake the desk very noticeably. And i tend to have the habit of sometimes heavily leaning on my elbows at times, which causes a bit of wobble. Also, as I'm leaning into the desk, I have the habit of shaking/bouncing my leg which causes the tabletop to shake quite a bit. I haven't tried suddenly placing anything heavy on top though, like I usually do at home (I use it for everything). These are just personal issues, since I'm the type of guy who likes to move and lean a lot (and abuse my desk). Quite honestly, a 2 legged probably would've served me just as fine for home office use, and if you don't exhibit my habits often, I would def save money. I just got a 4 legged just to future proof any abuse I give it :)”

“My Apex Pro was my upgrade from a Flexispot. I expect my current desk to last a decade or two.”

“I don’t know about the v3, but prior versions were not as good imo. When I bought the apex pro frame, nothing that I looked at was better (I didn’t look at everything, but I looked at a lot). If I bought today, I’d still buy from desk.haus. The frame has been superb, standing up to my abuse without a hitch.”

“Apex Pro from Deskhaus is a tank.”

“Not sure about now. I love my Apex Pro. Will probably last rest of my life unless I move and nobody wants to help me me move it. 🤣”

“A pneumatic desk is a bit quicker up and down, but not as accurate to get a desk at the exact height you want/need so by the time you fiddle with it to get it right, a good electronic desk will have been there for some time. Plus, pneumatic desks have limited weight capacity. I've got a Deskhaus Apex Pro and it has 4 motors making it strong, quiet, and pretty quick.”

“Deskhaus is not cheap, but my Apex Pro is a tank.”

“+1 I’m 6’5” and have the 80x30 Apex Pro with solid wood top, run it at full height regularly with monitor arm and 8” studio monitor speakers, and it’s very solid. I’ve had some Uplift 60x30 desks with thinner bamboo tops that were fine, but if you want wider and solid wood and are tall, I think the Apex Pro is worth the extra cost, especially if you’ll have the desk many years.”

“80” Apex Pro (double legs) with thicker real wood top has been a great purchase for past year, I love it”

“I bought the apex pro because I have little kids and man that thing has ZERO wobble.”

“Deskhaus. Period.”

“Have a deskhaus apex pro for 4 years and love it. Programming, meetings, walking treadmill. It is Solid. I highly recommend”

“Desk haus is really solid, I have a apex pro and at max height there is barely any wobble, and if you lower it a few inches it is rock solid, I am 6ft 4 in and it is rock solids for me on carpet. Not much of a cable management system though, they recommend that you get one yourself if you want one, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t come with a way to manage and secure you cables. I’ll post a pic of my cable management using the cable mounts that came with the frame, I only used half of the included cable ties. In the pic I only secured the wires for the desk, i didn’t have my computer set up at the time. Edit: any 4 leg desk is likely to be better than any 2 leg desk https://preview.redd.it/hn97txpyc60h1.png?width=2122&format=png&auto=webp&s=b06cbc57b1fc97eac9327ad2de3be6738e21175c”

“Deskhaus Apex Pro has served me well and I’m 6’6”. It doesn’t need to be on the top setting for me while standing.”

“I've had my desk haus apex pro for 1.5 years now and I'm very happy with it. It's pricy (I only bought the legs and bought a separate butcher block top). But, it's super stable -- built like a tank. The 20 year warranty is also great for the peace of mind. I have a 2 monitor set up (with ergotron arms) as well plus a few electronics mounted under the desk. I use it every day and the desk is spacious and doesn't wobble. Definitely worth the money for me.”

“If you want maximum stability, I'd look at the Apex Pro 6-Leg or the Apex Pro Max 6-Leg from [desk.haus](https://desk.haus/). I was considering other options when I was looking for a standing L-shaped desk myself and went with an Apex Pro series desk as it was the only L-shaped standing desk frame with six legs instead of three. I opted for the Max for increased stability via its crossbar. Word of caution though, it's probably the most expensive option.”

“DeskHaus, and cut/finish your own desktop from a butcher block. You can make it the perfect size for you, finish it how you like, and get a desk that will last forever, even if the base gives out after 10 years.”

“So in this case desks that are more expensive (even if not by much) and have less advertising would do poorly in your ranking but might be compared more (those who upgrade to them from cheaper desks) My deskhaus is very very solid so I very much like it and when I see reviews of others that are liked that have wobble while mine doesn't I still feel like my deskhaus is better”

“as someone who just did this same calculus (though on about half your budget) i'll say the stability is overrated for a lot of people. like who is truly leaning on their desk that hard? though with an 80x30, it might come into play more than the average soul. that said, I did ultimately go with deskhaus. they had a good deal going with a free top at the time i ordered, i appreciated the company's transparency about their products, parts, and the longer warranty. plus i like a little guy. uplift and flexispot have many product lines, and operate on a more mass-market scale, which is both good and bad. deskhaus makes and maintains one thing, which is desks. budget doesn't seem to be a big issue for you, so for the same amount of money you'd end up with a slightly more stable desk with a longer warranty. but if you don't live in the US (shipping), or want a package deal with lots of compatible accessories (the good part of bigger operations), no reason not to go with this one!”

“I’ve been down a similar rabbit hole too many, many times. All roads kept leading me back to DeskHaus. I ended up getting the APEX Pro. 💪”

“This right here, had mine a while and its still like new. Ive got a 49 and 34" monitor, PC and laptop on the desk and no issues at all. Monitor doesnt wobble either.”

“Deskhaus Apex Pro Had mine for 5 years and it is a tank. I bought the frame and had a local woodworker make the top.”

“For actual BIFL Apex Pro from deskhaus with a 30x60 butcher block countertop from Home Depot.”

“Get a Deskhaus Apex Pro and a solid wood top. The 4 leg frame is twice as much as a 2 leg, but it's literally twice the frame with 4 motors.”

“It is absolutely worth it for me. I have been working fully remote for about 6 years now. I would say that brand is NOT the best decision point to follow. Even some good brands with quality builds don't hold up well in certain situations. I started with an uplift desk, and the build quality was decent but the desk wasn't stable enough for me and there was a significant wobble when standing if I wasn't extremely careful. The brand I highly recommend is Deskhaus. I purchased a new desk from them on 2024. High quality desk and their customer service was excellent. The owner is active on their sub and they have a lot of videos posted showing comparisons. The most important factor for me was the stability. Even with the desk at the max height I can lean into the desk with my full body weight and my monitor arm doesn't even shake. Currently trying to sell the uplift desk.”

“DeskHaus peak pro or apex pro max frame. I have the peak pro with their HPL top and it’s super sturdy and the laminate top is very high end. Great customer service, warranty, and product.”

“Another Deskhaus Apex Pro user here. I’ve got a butcher block top and it’s fantastic!”

“I've had my DeskHaus (Apex Pro 4 leg and high pressure laminate top) for 4 years. Very sturdy. Quite expensive.”

“That’s a bummer. I’ve had the opposite experience. I purchased the Apex Pro with the Walnut top and this thing is absolutely amazing!”

“I'm coming up on my 3 year anniversary for the Apex Pro with wood top. It's been rock solid for me, and I use it everyday. I'd highly recommend it.”

“Because the majority of people are not going to buy Deskhaus, simply due to the price. It definitely had superior build quality, with best in class EVERYTHING but the $$$ will turn off buyers. A lot of the channels are meant to drive revenue to a certain brand due to the kickbacks they'd receive. That being said, I bought a custom color Deskhaus frame and I fucking LOVE IT!!! I spent the $1300 on an apex pro with light blue frames and another $300 on a custom top I built myself. I love using it, it's the perfect desk for me hands down. Let me know if you have any questions! Everything was very straight forward, delivered correctly and easy to follow instructions // YouTube videos. Thing is a tank, and I wouldn't hesitate to get under it if an earthquake were to ever happen”

“I’ve had my DeskHaus apex pro for over a year now. Worth every penny. So sturdy, never an issue. I am glad I spent the money on it. Recommend for sure.”

“Last year I bought a Vertex Pro 4-Leg with the longer 35" feet. I put a thermal treated European ash 74x39" kitchen island counter on top. This desk is a tank. Practically no wobble. It's such a pleasure to use. I hope to keep it for life. One of the best purchases I've ever made. Chris is awesome to deal with, too. Communication was efficient, freight shipping (on a pallet) was flawless. I wish DeskHaus the best success, whether that means going mainstream, or staying small/indie.”

“DH is incredible. Apex Pro FTW”

“DH is smaller whereas Uplift has been around for a while and just has better brand recognition overall. That’s fine, but bigger isn’t always better. I have a DH desk and love it. Quality is top notch and they personally delivered it to my house as I’m within a reasonable driving distance from their warehouse. I did a ton of research before finally landing on them and I have zero regrets. If you have any questions, let me know.”

“I can relate. Based on my own experience, Chris often looks for an argument in the Deskhaus subreddit rather than trying to help. The tone is unprofessional and dismissive, especially when people are raising legitimate concerns. His decision making feels impulsive and emotional. If he doesn't like what you say or agree with you, you're out of luck.”

“Gotta say, Desk Haus really went down in quality over the years. I ordered a desk from them and a year later I realized an issue I had with it was due to some screws that were missing in the original delivery (the original delivery did not include an instruction manual, so it was hard to tell at the time). I ask if I could get replacement screws (I even clarified that I would be happy to pay for them) but Chris Markatos has ignored the past three emails that I've sent him about this. If you want a well-supported product, look elsewhere. Desk Haus has really lost their way with customer support.”

“Here’s how I see the standing desk market right now, in January 2026. “Amazon Specials” like Claiks, ErGear, HUANUO etc. - Primary consideration: Budget. These are frankly total trash, probably even worse than the cardboard boxes I used for my first few years of standing. Flexispot - Primary consideration: Value. Buy here if your first consideration is budget but you don’t want garbage. Stick to E7 and above. Secretlab - Primary consideration: Cable Management. Buy here if you’re a gamer and/or you just can’t stand to see a cord. Uplift - Primary consideration: Corporate Sales. Buy here if you’re a purchasing manager (at work or at home). No one ever got fired for buying IBM. DeskHaus - Primary consideration: Stability. Buy here if you want to absolutely annihilate any and all wobble or sway, or if you need to support a massive desktop. Branch - Primary consideration: Apartment Chic. Buy here if your home office is also your living room. And where we think we fit in: Ergodriven - Primary consideration: Ergonomics. Buy here if you actually want to use your standing desk. That’s the need we identified. While these brands have innovated around the edges, no one has actually improved the ergonomics of standing desks in 10+ years. We all know the true benefit of standing desks isn’t just standing - it’s movement - both while you’re standing, and in changing positions throughout the day. Experts recommend switching between sitting and standing 20+ times per day. For example, the human ergonomics program at Cornell recommends the 20-8-2 rule: in every 30 minute period, sit 20 mins, stand 8 mins, and move/stretch for 2 mins. That is a lot to manage, especially when you have work to focus on. It’s 2026. You shouldn’t be relying on willpower or setting phone timers to remember to use your expensive desk for its only purpose. Your desk should monitor your presence and position, and automatically move for you. That's what we think anyway. So that’s exactly what our Tempo Desk does. It’s the only standing desk you’re guaranteed actually to use! And so far people love it! You can see reviews on this page . BTW if you already have one of those desks above (or have your heart set on them for the totally valid reasons I listed), you can still get our Tempo controller and just swap out your controllers in a few minutes (Tempo is compatible with all the brands above - and many others - except the “Amazon Specials”).”

“Yeah, most likely. They still had the banner up advertising the code when I ordered, but it didn't work. Luckily I found a different code that saved me $50, so I still feel like I got a good deal.”

“Slightly over your budget, but look at the Deskhaus Peak Pro. You can get it with a free rubberwood top. edit- maybe not. I just ordered one, and that code didn't work. Maybe they ran out.”

“Agree. I also have the V3. I have two monitors on mine plus a laptop. Doesn’t wobble until you lift it almost as high as it goes. I almost did the Apex Desk Haus legs, but just was super sold on a top from Uplift. I also liked all the cable management from uplift.”

“I have a double post table from DeskHaus. They sure are very sturdy but also very expensive 🥹”

“I have this standing desk frame from DeskHaus, and I bought a oak wood top separately: https://desk.haus/products/apex-pro-2”
