What Reddit says about Fully

“I have a Jarvis sit stand. Love it. I have a stupid amount of weight on it - two sets of speakers, turntable, stands and midi controllers, three large monitors on heavy duty metal stands, and I lean on it. Never has budged or felt like the dual motor was struggling. Just some input. I almost got the uplift as well before I decided on Jarvis. I’d be careful with these cheaper desks. A lot of them don’t have a motor on each leg, which is necessary for a lot of people.”

“I bought a Jarvis Bamboo standup desk like this for school. My only regret it I didn't get one earlier. These types of desk are fantastic.”

“Jarvis desk from Fully. They used to have a depot in Gent. It’s been acquired by Hermann Miller now? After years of experience, I would advise my past-me who was shopping for a sit-stand desk: - get the electric version with the memories. Making it easy to change heights is the most important feature. - get a smaller tabletop (or get a 4-legged table). It wobbles the bigger it gets. - the adjustable monitor arm is extremely helpful at getting the correct levels for eye and hands. - you don’t need 2 monitors. Get a wide monitor - the sit-stand chair is a great companion”

“I also assumed that the T legs were more sturdy but just read about this yesterday. It’s actually a question of where the weight is on the top of the desk. The C legs are actually more stable, when the majority of weight on the desk is resting toward the back, which is probably fairly common. Not sure how you’d really know for sure which is best in a given situation, without trying both, though. 🤷 I have a fully Jarvis desk with what is close to the uplift C legs, and I’m pretty sure I lean on my desk often, with no complaints.”

“Jarvis desk. We have 3, have had them for ages, they're great.”

“Just got a desky, honestly didn’t even know it was a thing till the day I ordered it. It came super lightly damaged due to fedex placement and box coming apart a smidge, they were super responsive, offered a replacement part or adjustment within an hour of me reaching out. I also love the product I got the Bambu and it is fantastic.”

“How much weight and the whole drive assembly. My nice uplift and Jarvis have the actuators in the legs. My wife’s 250 Amazon one has a motor with a driveshaft that sits under the desk. My 6ft uplift came with a hammock I can sleep in under it. It’s solid and stable. I’ve got an ultrawide and a bunch of flightsim stuff on it. That said, those cheaper ones aren’t half bad for what they are. The wood is much cheaper but nice. Uplifts base level bamboo is a big step up, but it’s also a ton more money. My wife had no complaints about her $250ish one.”

“Not-ikea. Bamboo or solid wood table top. Weighted metal legs. Smooth mechanism. Stable enough to sit on. Electric and not hand crank I got one by Jarvis (then rebranded Fully, then HM?) 10 yrs ago and it still looks and functions like new. Solid and high quality https://store.hermanmiller.com/brands-fully”

“Jarvisom van IKEA toppal, teljesen jo, nem billeg.”

“I have a Jarvis from before Herman Miller bought Fully. I can't speak to how it compares with the uplift, but I've been happy with it for several years. I have a bamboo top on mine with two large monitors on arms and it handles it well.”

“I have one I got several years ago, but spent quite a bit on it. Jarvis, I think? Anyway, it's only 36" wide, which I had to have because that's the space I had to fit. It doesn't wobble unless I grab it and shake it. While I like most things about it, the only aspect I truly hate is my own fault: hanging underneath is a Gordian knot of cables and ties and dust and bugs. Well, maybe not bugs, but it's still a nasty mess I don't enjoy looking at. Because of limited space, I almost never stand at it. The mechanism works extremely well, but I'll point out that this is my second motor etc--the first one buggered itself up and couldn't be reset, but the entire desk is guaranteed for 10 years, so they sent me an entirely new mechanism (priority!), and it has worked perfectly ever since. That happened four years ago. It was remarkably easy to file a claim--I called them up, explained, the person had me try a few things, and then said, "I'm sending you new legs and a new mechanism." Less than twenty minutes all told. It's worked faultlessly ever since. Yes, it's a Jarvis table, sold by Fully: [https://store.hermanmiller.com/brands-fully](https://store.hermanmiller.com/brands-fully) When I bought it, the price was around $600; I thought that was a pretty good deal, and I've been proved right. Ah. Turns out I spent $500 on it, and that was in 2018. No idea what they cost now, but I'm sure they're worth it. I wish I had more room to get a wider desk, but I still have three years left on my warranty, and that makes up for a lot.”

“Bought Jarvis. Had for 5 years. Lift started going out. Herman Miller bought Jarvis. They sent me a completely new desk. Top and legs! Recommend.”

“I use a Jarvis Desk. On the expensive side but I’ve had it for almost 10 years and it’s rock solid.”

“Quality standing desk and chair. I splurged on a Jarvis standing desk because in the lowest position, it was just the right height for me to sit at, with my feet flat on the floor (5’ 4” human). Most are modelled for 6’ tall men and the minimum height is too high, so be sure to measure before buying. The Steelcase Leap chair has been amazing. Went from experiencing low back strain to zero issues. I’ve had it for around 7 years now and it’s like new condition. Similar reason that I chose it, it went low enough for my feet to touch the ground so my lower back doesn’t get effed up from sitting.”

“running four 27s is a serious setup, so you definitely want a desk that wont bow. look for a top thats at least 1 inch thick solid wood or a high-quality laminate with a steel frame. the [Fully Jarvis](https://featherab.com/shopit?search_keywords=Fully+Jarvis) is a solid option that handles heavy loads well. also check out the desk haus apex pro if you can stretch the budget a bit. for the thickness, 1 inch is the absolute minimum with a wide clamp plate.”

“I’ve spent thousands of hours using my Herman Miller sit stand desk in the office. I have an L shape one that I’m not seeing on their site anymore (might be discontinued)? But I would highly recommend their products. https://store.hermanmiller.com/standing-desks?lang=en_US”

“Nowhere near £150, but I went with a Jarvis and like it. I also got a walking pad and a nice monitor arm so I can quickly readjust everything.”

“For your set up, you might consider a used Fully Jarvis, heavy duty and available in 180cm x 80cm. Don’t buy them new off Herman Miller (who bought out Fully) and they’re wicked expensive. I have two of them - one was used, and can vouch for their sturdiness and their functionality.”

“I went for a Fully Jarvis with HM 20% discount… not cheap but good quality and guarantee!”

“IMO Jarvis is about 10% nicer and typically waaaaay more expensive. E7 is still plenty quiet, fast, and stable, and is the right pick between the two for most people.”

“I own a Fully Jarvis standing desk and really rate it - of course that quality came at a price - £3k three years ago. It's basically like new, other than some minor scuffs in the wood surface from normal use”

“I got the Fully Jarvis standing desk several years ago (before they were acquired by Herman Miller). I bought it primarily because of the fact it can be lowered to a height that's comfortable for me and where my feet can still sit comfortably on the floor. That's to say, I bought a standing desk primarily to use comfortably while sitting, since most non-standing desks aren't low enough to the ground for me. 99% of the time I use it sitting and it's nice to be able to adjust it to a standing position when I want to.”

“[https://destore.hermanmiller.com/collections/jarvis-standing-desk/](https://destore.hermanmiller.com/collections/jarvis-standing-desk/) i bought mine about 4 years ago for round about 600$ (Germany).”

“I have a Fully Jarvis with the memory feature, which is definitely worth it to me. My OCD would freak out without it. The desk is great. I stand about 80% of the day. I put it down to see it take breaks. I also recommend a foam mat to stand on to if you have hard surfaced floors.”

“I’ve tried both, had the Uplift V2 for a year and recently switched to a Fully Jarvis. Honestly, the Uplift feels a bit sturdier at max height and has better cable management options, but the Jarvis looks cleaner and the bamboo top feels premium. The Branch Duo is nice too if you want something more compact or budget-friendly. I’d say Wirecutter’s list isn’t wrong, but it really depends on how tall you are and how much gear you put on your desk.”

“I’d recommend the Jarvis desks by Fully. They were acquired by Herman Miller several years ago.”

“I’d buy my Fully Jarvis again. It’s stable even at max height, the laminate holds up, and the control panel isn’t finicky. Get the grommet option and a simple under desk tray, it keeps cables tidy and out of sight. If you use a heavy monitor arm, grab the thicker top or add a steel reinforcement plate. Side note, if you’re setting this up because you’re hunting for remote roles and need a legit setup, wfhalert is a simple email service that sends verified remote jobs like support or admin, saved me time digging through sketchy listings.”

“I’ve got a fully Jarvis and haven’t got one complaint about it, looks great, works well and it’s huge. Partner has a flexispot and it’s good too but there is a noticeable quality difference”

“buy a nice used one. The uplifts and fully Jarvis that cost 1K+ used go for 200-300 used. I am in a big city and see them all the time, and have bought 2 and sold 1 with no issues”

“Look for an electric sit/stand desk from one of the bigger companies. You can either get one with the desktop included, or you can buy your own and mount it yourself. I bought a Fully Jarvis a few years ago and mounted a Uline butcherblock shop counter on it, and I love it. They're a good investment for your health, customizable, and typically have very good build quality.”

“I've got the Jarvis (now Herman Miller, was sold by Fully when I bought mine). I have to set a reminder to stand a couple of times a day or I forget, but it's really good. Had it about 3.5yrs now. Cheaper models can wobble when they're high up - I'm over 6ft and like to have the desk at elbow-cleaning height so it's pretty high when I'm standing, but I get very little movement when I lean on it. I'd recommend a standing mat to go with it - I bought an amazon basics one similar to [this](https://amzn.eu/d/em63llL) and it makes standing much more comfortable. Also a good footrest when I'm sitting. I've also got a set of Duronic monitor arms which are really cheap but solid.”

“Remember that it isn't necessarily about standing, sometimes its nice to just easily give it a quick up or down adjustment for temporary comfort. For that, standing desks will always be worth it, even if you don't stand. I'll never not recommend the fully.”

“fully jarvis + Humanscale NTLGG Cable Management -- looks pristine and organized back there, and I have multimon, studio speakers, a DAC, the PC, a laptop, a google home and more.”

“I've been extremely happy, and surprised, with how well my bambu top fully jarvis has lasted. Would absolutely buy another without hesitation.”

“Or a high quality wool rug, I got a big one from Stickley and looks brand new after 2 years. The chairs don’t roll as fast but I think it is saving the chair feet and the tile underneath.”

“Yikes. I bought two HM Jarvis standing desks for my husband and I 2 years ago when we finished renovating our house for $700 each, which I thought was reasonable. It’s a nice desk but a Google search says they’re now $1100 “on sale”. I’d try to find a used one at this point if I was looking but since I needed 2 matching ones I’d probably just bite the bullet and buy the HM ones. As for the desk, it’s really sturdy and goes lower than a lot of the budget models. We have the bamboo top and kid has colored and stickered it a few times but it wipes/peels right off. Super convenient to clean under, but really painful to stub your toe on the heavy foot.”

“hey, i would really appreciate if you could answer a question that i have about vari. i purchased a 78" fully jarvis and sent it back because the wobble was too much. at its lowest hieght, while i was typing, the monitors would shake and wobble; at full height it was worse. for $725, i thought it shouldn't be like that. how much wobble is there while you're typing at the lowest height and at standing? thanks for your help!”

“Not really. I was 0% interested after everyone went ham on the "racer chair" thing and it kind of turned me off. I had the early version of Jarvis desk for 18 months (In-office Employer purchased) then when I left that job, and went back to WFH I bought a Vivo desk (About $400). The vivo desk was ok, but couldn't really lift my equipment.”
