Love my UpLift desk. It’s expensive, but worth it.

I have the FEZIBO Height Adjustable Electric Standing desk with Double Drawer, 48 x 24 Inch Table with Storage Shelf, Sit Stand Desk with Splice Board, Black Frame/Rustic Brown Top, 48 inch. I bought it off of amazon and have no complaints about it. It works perfectly for me.

I had bad luck with flexispot. Got the dual level one and the first one arrived with one part broken in half. They sent me a replacement that was also broken in half. Thankfully it was 2 different pieces so was able to piece it together and then use the second set of legs to make my gf a desk for free 😎. Once I had the right pieces it was great, but I’m wary on their packaging and material handling.

Flexispot is great in my opinion! I got the single level and put a little filing cabinet under it.

Uplift is where it’s at.

+1 for UpLift. Well made. Great customer service and warranty. Deconstructed mine and flew with it across the country (just the legs, got a new top made of plywood and easy to install my own). Since then have swapped out the plywood and repurposed an uncut solid core door. Legs continue to work like a charm.

Fezibo desks are amazing. I just bought the electric standing version with the footrest. It is absolutely wonderful. Worth every penny!

1099 or w-2 ? I have been given the option though the company prefers w-2. It’s a day rate booking couple of months or more (no end date). I already have 1099 from similar company this year and am leaning towards 1099, but I don’t want to be difficult. I do take home office deduction and they are not supplying any equipment. Suggestions?

Hello RSM coworkers! I am thrilled to be moving to RSM into a Scheduler roll. I just found out yesterday and want to be as prepared as possible in the next steps.

So here are my questions.

How long does the background study take? I'm guessing admin staff have a study that is faster and less complicated than someone in Tax ect.

When training at home what did you need that wasn't supplied by RSM? My home office is well stocked but I want to be as prepared as possible.

Thanks in advance!
