I usually don't comment on videos, but wow. This was extremely informative. Reviews are never this in depth! You seem so genuine. Feels like you're actually talking to me, not a camera. Subscribed!
Great points, I had the Tresanti standing desk as well. The all-black version with a rounded front. They put a wireless charging pad in front of the controls at the top like yours. Lost a lot of space. Went with a MotionWise manager desk, from Costco. Decent price, great sized desk. Felt like buying from Costco was the best spot.
Yeah I'm thinking about getting the same Tresanti desk you're talking about lol but I do dislike the fact that it has a charging pad that sticks out of the desk
I don't think most ppl think about the detail. I was looking for z stand up desk and they talk zbout the inches, but the person modeling the desk, you never know how tall they are. And even when your in the store trying a desk/chair out, it being comfortable for 2 mins is different for something being comfortable for 8+ hours of use
I got a 50 inch manual crank bc its lighter and cheaper than the electric. I don't. Have that much space in my room to put it so I'm going to put casters in so I can move it around
Thank you so much for this video!! I totally get what you are saying. I’m getting a quality standing desk soon. Former developer turned PM here too. Cheers!
This is the position I am in. I am also short at 5 ft 8. I have been looking at the uplift desk. However to get it to go lower than the usual desks, you need to go with the commercial frame. So I was looking at the C commercial frame, and the crossbar is annoying in that you can't really slide a short file cabinet underneath without it sticking out. That is extremely annoying. I asked uplift why they did this, the employee said their manager doesn't use the crossbar on theirs. I asked if that was a supportive configuration. He came back and said we always recommend you use the crossbar. So I said to him why would you even recommend me not using it if you recommend it. It's very frustrating because I want a desk without the crossbar that can go as low as 24in with the top on
That was a very informative video with real-world information that we can all relate to - THANK YOU, that was VERY helpful in putting all these desks, ads, videos into perspective.
I just purchased the 55" none glass top variant of the Tresanti standing desk from Costco on an impulse buy as I wanted a standing desk and it has a good rating and was on sale. I am dealing with the issues everyone else is describing such as the placement of the height controls and the placement of the changing pad which neither are ideal but the issue that is causing major concern is the thickness of the desk itself. Previously I was using a folding table while researching different desks and had begun to mount things on the sides of my desk such as my monitor, speakers, and boom arm. Because of how thick the desk is, I can't use any of the mounts because the C-clamp won't fit over the lip of the very thick desk. I wasn't thinking about this and will probably require that I return the desk for something thinner.
Thanks for the comment James. I totally agree with you. Honestly, for most people, the desk is a great deal. But if you want to mount things with c-clamps it’s a bit limiting.
Thank you for doing this video. It was helpful. I'm just starting my research on standing desks. It would be great if you did something on accessories to these desks, like the best monitor , & cable holders, etc. Thanks.
God, fantastic video man, really great. Very good points. I've been thinking about the same things you addressed as I look into getting my first standing desk here, but it's great to have someone with some experience confirm what I could only guess at. I can only add that having a desk with a crossbar right now myself, I can confirm that it's a non-issue if it's positioned in the frame in a thoughtful manner - a nice addition at 1.5 feet above the ground and mounted towards the back of the desk - but having enough clearance is key. Thanks for making this video for everyone.
Thanks man appreciate it. And totally agree - the location of the crossbar is so important. It’s one of those things you’d see in a store but never consider 😩
I have this desk and you are on point on everything! Please share the monitor mount setup you have. Have not been able to figure it out because of the frame!
I just bought that desk. The height is fine for me and I have a non standing desk that will be right next where a lot of things (like pictures) can be on that old desk.
I was in the market looking for standing desk. I was looking into this one from costco, good thing i have people along to shop with me. I have to step away from this desk because of the framing. I bang my leg to everywhere so this is a no go! Haha
Thanks for sharing your electric standing desk experience, Romy!...Currently, looking to purchase the Uplift V2 desk with 72x30 desktop, four legs, four motors and 25 year extended warranty!
My hight is 170cm and my standing desk is at a astonishing low 61cm when sitting (plus 2,6cm desk top). That's 94cm when standing. So glad I went with a standing desk that supports the correct hight range for me.
Thank you. This was really helpful especially with the size examples on your desk and the height demonstration. I feel better about budgeting 1000-1200 for my desk and 800-900 for my chair.
Agree with you about the high it does not go as lower some people would need. I installed the keyboard tray now I am enjoying it no more pain in the shoulder. My only complain is that surface size too small .
Hm, sure you gave the right measurement of the desk? You keep saying it's about 29 inches for the length, but your tape measure showed 47 inches, lol. I currently have a cheapo desk from Walmart that is 36 inches long and I know for sure that your desk is way longer 😅. But you raised some good points here and have me rethinking the order I just put in for a Fezibo desk (ordered from their website). I got their S2 frame, which holds about 170 lbs, but the height starts at about 27 inches and I too am 5'7. Their S4 frame actually goes down to 23 inches, though. I don't have money for an Uplift desk, but I think I can squeeze the extra $130 to change to the S4, just to be on the safe side. I'm eventually going to get a new chair as well, as my current one that proclaimed to be for "big and tall" people, is not, lol. The base of the arm rests have edges that dig into my thighs and it has zero lumbar support. You lied to me, Serta! 😂 Let me go ahead and cancel that desk order now and place the new one... Edit: And now thanks to you, I've gone ahead and upgraded the frame. It seems the frame doesn't add more stabilizing features at the higher price point, though, which is a bummer. Also, the frame can ONLY go down to 23 inches with their S4 version. If you want anti-collision, I'd have to go with S3, but then the frame won't go low enough. But, the height was more important for me than the collision feature, so I'm still happy I changed the order. And I was able to reuse the discount code from the first order, giving me a $16 discount, lol.
Hi Romy, I have this same desk and am looking for a monitor mount. Can you share the link to the one you have in this video? I am afraid of the glass breaking and yours seems to look good.
Thanks Veera. I got this smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B21TLQU/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 This desk is super funky with monitor arms. In fact, the arm above doesn't work "out of the box". I had to place a wooden block under the glass surface that would allow the clamp to attach to *something*. It's hard to clamp on the metal rail because it's so thin.
@@romyromes Hey... that sounds really cool, could you please make a video about that? It would be awesome to see the details of how you attached the arm to that standing desk.
There are charts out there that offer guidance on the maximum height your desk top should be based on your height. However, I've seen quite a bit of variation in the these numbers (e.g., some will say that a 29" desk height is only appropriate if you are 6'5 and other charts that say that 29" will work for anyone that is 6" tall. Obviously the height of your chair will come into play but the variation in these charts is significant. Also I should note that some of the standing desk companies publish these charts and so the numbers may not be trustworthy as some of these vendors produce standing desk that go much lower than what most other manufacturers standing desk go and so there is an incentive for these manufacturers to skew the data in such a way that their desk meet these numbers. So I would suggest you find an "un-bias" organization for these charts.
I am short Nothing is built for me other than a children's desk Not only that! But, chairs also aren't buil for someone of my height. I am 5ft flat ...although last time they told me I was 5ft1😭😭 I have disks pressing on nerves in my lower back and so I realized I can't use a computer chair, they aren't worth it for me no matter ergonomic they be because they aren't for short people. And so, to ikea I went , I basically got a foldable tall chair that had a child sized seat and decent back ....rest thing. Best thing I've bought since I usually only half sat on things all my life to be able to reach the floor. I bought this desk out of severe pain and desperation to quickly finish my school work and it does the job for me. The stabilizer thing works great for me since it works as a foot rest for the height of my chair
Lowest point was too high for me as well, I'm also 5'7" but I suppose it depends more on torso height, as I have longs legs but short torso. I was having upper back problems because shoulders were hunched. Unfortunately I didn't have an adjustable chair because I tried to save money by getting a simpler chair... which is a fine chair, comfortable and my feet touch the ground. Eventually the desk broke after a year, kept throwing errors and will only go up. I tried all the online suggestions to fix, customer service number was dead, and Costco won't take it back.
Hi Romy, have you encountered any problems using the monitor arm on a glass desktop? Because I'm thinking of doing this, my desktop is the same as yours.
Hey! I never personally had problems but I can't guarantee *you* won't. The right thing to do would be to add some kind of wood/non-glass layer ontop of the glass to protect it from shattering. That said, I was able to mount my very heavy 27 inch apple cinema display and have zero glass issues.
I have the similar desk. Mine is curvy desktop. That is another thing to consider. The depth of the desk will become like 21-22” at the center of curve and there won’t be any support for my hands while typing. Regarding the footrest What i did is, I pulled desk a bit forward and place a a feet level Ikea step and resting my leg on it 😅. Also where did you get the 3 storage drawers table? I don’t have anything next to my table and it is very small and crowded desk. If someone getting ing this desk, they mist have to keep some storage shelves next to it. I ordered uplift desk and waiting for it to deliver
Hi! thank you so much for this very informative video :) I was wandering if you could tell us what is the name of your filing cabinet right beside your desk. It is so beautiful. Thanks again !
Thanks! The chair in this video can be found here: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KUPS3JU/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1. It's surprising to see how the price has doubled. When I bought it I bought it for $80! The current chair I'm enjoying is the Steelcase Gesture.
Potentially. My 27 inch Cinema Display is heavier than most 34 inch monitors. That said, you’ll be looking at a rather wide monitor on this desk, so not only will it look huge, but you might not have enough seat-to-monitor depth to feel comfortable. This is all theory tho…
I'm hesitating to buy this table because it's tempered glass. And I have a dual monitor setup which mounts on the table. Did u have problems mounting it on your table? Do u think it can support dual monitors mounted on it? Sorry for the questions. Thanks
Hi, I saw in your video that you are using an arm for the monitor I have two monitors, can you recommend me a monitor arm? I am afraid to broke the glass.
When told that this table is not going to work means end of conclusion or it’s not the one.. taking it back is one of the options that most people do. Or give it away to a family or friend but the point is that it’s just my opinion.
Hi Jack! If you look at my channel I have 2 videos focused on my Uplift Desk (I don't have many videos so should be easy to find). Hope those help answer your questions.
Hey Dragon. Even if you had the right tool to do it, I don't think it'd be a good idea. The desk was specifically designed to use that bar for support. I fear if you cut it off, the desk could break under weight to the left or right.
It's funny, I never watched this video before this but earlier in the year there was craze for standing desks. I told them not to buy it because it's pretty much a gimmick. There are uses for the standing desk but very few for the general home office work. You burn a negligible amount of calories when standing, and if you needed to stop sitting, a brisk walk is much better than just standing. You should be taking brisk breaks away from the computer anyways, and standing is not a replacement for this. I've asked over 5 people about how they feel about their standing desk and how much they use it, every single one of them don't use it at all.
I just got this desk and i love it but i am thinking about installing a clamp, i see you have a monitor stand/clamp how was that install? i see there is a small air gap from the glass and the rest of the frame and I am afraid that a clamp may affect that. Any information will help. Thank you in advance!
A clamp might shatter the glass? The steel frame is strong enough to drill a bolt on instead of a clamp? If you do, might slide 6 or 10 playing cards between the glass and frame. You can cut the cards to make it look nice.
Hey! I guess I’m not sure why it wouldn’t be? Maybe there’s some difference between world of Warcraft and a racing game with a steering wheel but for what I’ve played I’ve had zero issues
Man another RUclips or that just can’t get to the point as to drag everything out and waste time I wish they would be more considerate of other people time and getting to the point you don’t need to drag on a 30 minute story when you can do the segment in 10 minutes just get to the point no one cares about anything else I just see it time and time again I don’t understand
Thanks for taking the time to make this! I'm deep in the agony of deciding to buy a standing desk or not. This was super-helpful!
I usually don't comment on videos, but wow. This was extremely informative. Reviews are never this in depth! You seem so genuine. Feels like you're actually talking to me, not a camera. Subscribed!
Thanks for the kind words Adam! Happy Holidays!
Great video! Exactly what I had to look for in my own purchases. Key points in this video are necessary for people who stand AND sit. Keep it up
Thanks Shawn! 🙏🏽
The most helpful video I’ve found on these standing desks! Thank you, Romy!

Lol bro!!! Small world!! Let me know if you have any questions. 🙌🏽
Thank you so much for explaining the sizing process! It is so hard to find a demonstration of these desks in use.

I've asked over 5 people about how they feel about their standing desk and how much they use it, every single one of them don't use it at all.
Didn't the frame around the desk hit/pressed your legs?
Yes! 😫
Hi what is the monitor arm that you are using on this desk?
Same question.. waiting..
I just got this desk and i love it but i am thinking about installing a clamp, i see you have a monitor stand/clamp how was that install? i see there is a small air gap from the glass and the rest of the frame and I am afraid that a clamp may affect that. Any information will help. Thank you in advance!
A clamp might shatter the glass? The steel frame is strong enough to drill a bolt on instead of a clamp? If you do, might slide 6 or 10 playing cards between the glass and frame. You can cut the cards to make it look nice.
Is this desk good for gaming?
Hey! I guess I’m not sure why it wouldn’t be? Maybe there’s some difference between world of Warcraft and a racing game with a steering wheel but for what I’ve played I’ve had zero issues
Which one did you end up getting as a replacement?
An 80 Inch Uplift Desk. Here's my 6 month in review: ruclips.net/video/6dWbysi2_g0/видео.html
the desk tabletop is way too thick
It doesn’t go 29.5 inches wide it goes 47.5 inches wide
Such a great video. Keep up doing reviews as some of us need some in-depth info before buying some stuff. Great job. ❤️❤️
Invest in quality TP 😁
they should really put a category "Asian version". for those who need atleast 64' low.
most of this shit are model upon with western average height.

Man another RUclips or that just can’t get to the point as to drag everything out and waste time I wish they would be more considerate of other people time and getting to the point you don’t need to drag on a 30 minute story when you can do the segment in 10 minutes just get to the point no one cares about anything else I just see it time and time again I don’t understand
You used speech-to-text for this comment, but you have a good point.
Really well thought out video. Thanks
