Spend the money on uplift if you plan to use it for a long time. 15 year warranty. I had a Vivo and an IKEA and this uplift is amazing. Went with an 80x30 desktop and loving having the space

Lots of good options. Get a good motorized one so you actually use it. I have an uplift and love it. If you want to save money you can try to source a decent tabletop from somewhere and then attach to a motor from somewhere else

Uplift is definitely worth it. FWIW, I'm really glad I got the bamboo cutout version but wish I would've gotten a wider size overall. (I got the 60" x 30", would spring for at least 72" if not 80" if you have the space.)

Other tips: skip the drawer, it sucks. And get the free rocker board — didn't think I'd like it but use it every day.

I really like the ash gray laminate but sometimes wish I had sprung for the black bamboo. I did go 80x30 at least

Thanks y’all! I’m really liking the look of this uplift desk. Definitely a pretty penny but the 15 year warranty seems pretty worth it

I got a really nice one off wayfair, but I’ve heard this can be hit or miss

Believe Fezibo’s are available on Amazon now too. I looked at their corner desks before I went uplift. They had good reviews
