Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
For most people, the FlexiSpot E6 Bamboo: dual motors and three-stage legs on a solid bamboo top, steady with two monitors and adjustable for short and tall people, for about $290. On a tight budget, the FlexiSpot EN1 (about $110). For all-day use and a long warranty, the Uplift V3 or a Vari desk.
For most desk workers, yes: alternating between sitting and standing through the day is what helps. Aim to change position every 30 to 60 minutes rather than standing all day, and add an anti-fatigue mat if you stand for long stretches.
About $100 to $150 buys a single-motor desk that is fine for a laptop and one monitor. $250 to $400 buys dual motors and three-stage legs: steadier, quieter and a wider height range, which matters with two monitors or if you are tall. $600 and up is premium (Uplift, Vari, Desktronic): better tops, longer warranties.
Fully was bought by MillerKnoll (Herman Miller’s parent company) and wound down; Jarvis desks are now hard to find. The closest replacements on Amazon are the Uplift V3 and Vari desks, or the FlexiSpot E6 for less.
It depends most on the frame. Dual-motor, three-stage frames (FlexiSpot E6, VIVO dual-motor frames, Uplift V3) stay steadier at 45 inches and up; single-motor budget desks sway more, especially with a monitor arm. Every desk here passed our check: buyers do not mention wobble or stability more negatively than positively. Several popular desks failed it, including a white FlexiSpot EN1 listing and the FlexiSpot EN2.
Standing, the desktop should be about at your elbow height: roughly 42 inches at 5 ft 4 in, 45 inches at 5 ft 10 in and 48 inches or more at 6 ft 3 in. Budget desks top out around 46.5 inches; three-stage desks and Vari desks reach 49 to 50.5 inches and also go lower for short people.
