Glad you asked. That was my main concern as well. I tried the vari desk once at my brother in laws and bought it shortly after because of how stable it was. After almost two years of use I can say that I have no wobble issues or any issues for that matter, and it’s the larger one. Only downside is that it got even more expensive since two years ago like everything else. But vari desk all the way.

So far I’ve had no issues with the motor or anything else on my vari desk. The ones at my husband’s company are (mostly) the larger L-shaped ones and they’ve had zero issues.

DeskHaus is the way. About the same price as competitors but much sturdier. They have YouTube videos comparing other desks and the wobble at standing height.

Thank you both! I read somewhere that quality of the motor should be a factor when buying standing desk. Did Jarvis meet that from your experience?

Yeah you drill the screws in - 4 screws. I didn’t Epoxy the surface. Super easy took me an hour but you’ll need someone to help you flip it. Also get the larger size 72”…really nice.

The Costco Tresanti standing desk has been phenomenal. My only complaint is that it’s not long enough for paperwork and dual monitors, but I just bought a simple table for the printer and paperwork and made an L-shape with my setup.
