Why Work Is Better with an UPLIFT Desk
Designed with high expectations for both functionality and style, when you invest in an UPLIFT V2 Sit-Stand Desk Frame, you get so much more than height adjustability. You'll get some pretty brag-worthy benefits, too:
- Certified sturdy and strong, it passed the ANSI/BIFMA X5.5-2021 Desk Standard for durability
- Ability to attach desk accessories directly to your frame via 48 patented mounts
- 3-stage legs are 33% faster than 2-stage legs, so you get to sitting and standing heights quicker
- Powerful dual motors (one in each leg) can lift up to 355 lb of gear
- Included anti-collision sensitivity restricts your desk from moving if it bumps into people or things
- 15 year warranty on all frame, mechanical, and electrical components
- Distraction-free 48 dB operation noise lets you raise and lower the desk without breaking your focus
Let's Discuss Height Ranges
We're excited to give users two different frame options when it comes to their desks: the UPLIFT V2 Frame and the UPLIFT V2-Commercial Frame. Click here (pdf) to see their differences at a glance.
We'll start with the UPLIFT V2 Frame. This office-ready frame has a height range of 25.5" - 51.1" (with a 1" desktop installed). Users love it for its sturdiness, its quiet adjustments, and its smart features—which are just a few of the reasons why it was selected as the "Best Standing Desk" by Wirecutter.
Our other frame option is the UPLIFT V2-Commercial Frame. This frame has a lower minimum height of 22.6" (with a 1" desktop installed). It also has a larger overall height-adjustment range compared to the UPLIFT V2 Frame. And you'll be glad to know it meets both the ANSI/BIFMA G1-2013 height standard and the ANSI/BIFMA durability standard.
The commercial frame also supports working postures (pdf) for 5th percentile females through 95th percentile males, sitting and standing.
An Easier Way to Add Accessories
If you look underneath your new UPLIFT V2 Sit-Stand Desk Frame and see a team of holes—you just found our patented mounting system. These spots let you use your desk with a growing collection of desk accessories, and remain discreetly hidden, so you keep a clean look at your workstation.
Your accessory options are many, and include attachable CPU holders, a foot hammock, power strips, and even an under-desk hammock. This is perfect for when you're in the mood to take a load off (and maybe even a mid-afternoon nap).
With a wide array of accessories planned for release, you'll be able to piece together the perfect workstation that works for you.
Please note: the under desk hammock is only compatible with the UPLIFT V2 Frame. It's not compatible with the UPLIFT V2-Commercial Frame, due to its interference with the stability crossbar.
Upgrade to the Advanced Keypad for More Features
Our standard keypad will get you working, but if you want access to all of your desk's features, you'll need the Advanced Keypad.
This desk has a great memory, and lets you work with one-touch adjustments on four easy-to-program buttons. Just tap a button and move.
You'll get advanced safety features, too. Activate the keypad child lock so that curious little fingers don't adjust your desk without your permission. And set your frame's max and min height limits, preventing your desk from knocking into shelves above, or file cabinets below. If it does bump into something, the control box has an anti-collision sensitivity feature that stops the desk from moving.
Last but not least, an auto-dark LED display will help you reduce distractions; 10 seconds after use, your keypad will dim to focus-assisting darkness.

Bamboo Desktop FAQs
- What types of desktops can I install on this frame?
You'll have the freedom to install most types of tops, but we do advise choosing a desktop that's at least 3/4" to 1" thick and 42" to 80" wide. The top you choose will also need to be compatible with wood screws, which are used to connect the frame to the desktop. Some good desktop materials that we've found to be ideal include: solid wood, laminate, bamboo, and other sturdy materials.
- Is it possible to add a circular desktop?
We have seen our customers install circular tops, yes! Just make sure your top is at least 3/4" - 1" thick and is centered on top of the frame.
- Can I install a glass desktop?
Glass is a little trickier to install, but if you have a bit of experience with DIY, you might be able to install a glass desktop that has been first installed on another material (like wood). This will allow you to successfully attach it to the UPLIFT V2 Stand Up Frame.
- Does this come with the hardware needed to attach a desktop to the frame?
Yes, your new frame will include the wood screws necessary to attach your frame to your desktop. Just double-check that the wood screws are not longer than the desktop is thick before starting the installation process.
- Can I paint my frame?
No, painting the frame would compromise the leg as it retracts.
Made with the same UPLIFT V2 Frame that Wirecutter named the "Best Standing Desk, 2019-2020 and in 2020-2021" you'll be able to do so much more at this workstation—thanks to increased stability, newly-added safety features, and a patented mounting system (which lets you really customize your desk down to the last detail).
Enjoy working at this powerfully reliable desk frame. Made with steel and sealed with a powder-coat finish, this frame gives you carte blanche for your desktop, meaning that you can DIY it or choose one of ours. If you're looking for this frame and a desktop, see our UPLIFT V2 Standing Desk.
You can choose this frame or the UPLIFT V2-Commercial Frame. Click here (pdf) to see the contrast between the two frames.

Excellent. Worth every penny
All around excellent. I bought the Uplift 900 Height-Adjustable base after wasting money on a couple of other products. I've used this for about 6 months now. By getting the base I was able to use my existing desk top and therefore no need to change out other non-matching furniture. Previously my work area was set up so that it was difficult to switch back to a sitting position. With this product I can simply push a button and my entire desk moves up or down in a matter of seconds. I love the memory function so I can set up to 4 different heights. Absolutely worth every penny.
Pros:
Heavy duty
4 memory settings
with the base you can use your own table top
easy to assemble
cord organizers with adhesive
Cons:
Honestly can't think of a single con. -
Very Sturdy, Well Built Product
I've been using my sit-stand desk for a few months now and I love it. Having the option of standing or sitting is awesome. I generally alternate 1 hour standing / 1 hour sitting.
The quality of the base is great and I built a top that is big enough for all my work mess.
I would (and have) recommended Uplift and Human Solution to everyone I talk to -
LOVE LOVE LOVE
Was easy enough to convert my existing desk. It's great to have the option to sit or stand as desired. Could not be happier!
Pros: My back has stopped hurting at the end of the day!!
Cons: Everyone can now see the stuff under my desk ;) -
Relief for Tension in Back and Neck From Sitting All Day
I have a fair bit of tension and muscle pain in my upper back and neck from sitting all day. The Uplift Desk has reduced that almost immediately. I alternate sitting and standing a couple of times a day, and it has made all the difference. I would recommend springing for a good quality standing mat, and a quality pair of shoes if you're going to be standing for more than an hour or two at at time. Great product that works as advertised. Worth every penny.

Best lift for the price!
Terrific quality on the Uplift desk base! The provided installation videos were very helpful and the entire purchase process was flawless. There are already additional people at my company ordering from you after they see my desk!
Pros: Memory buttons, quality construction -
Best of the bunch for the $
I bought two desks like this. One Uplift for my electric Piano and one for my computer. I like the Uplift best and wish I'd bought two.
Pros: memory position buttons, telescoping middle support bar. -
Uplift 900 desk base
It was easy to install with my desktop. It works perfectly. My work routine is varied now with standing, leaning and sitting which has strengthened my back and legs.

Very solid, smooth and quiet
I'm just in day two with my new desk. Actually my old desk with a new UpLift base. The desk arrived exactly as promised and everything went together pretty easily. The only challenge for me was that my desk has an added section, so I needed to reinforce where those to sections meet (previously had legs there). But it came out great and works like a charm. The base is heavy, meaning it is very solid and well built. The movement is smooth and quiet. I couldn't be happier with the purchase.
I will echo another reviewer who noted that I was glad to have noted that I would have to allow the right space for the CPU hanger. I see the PDF on the website, but it would have been nice to have that in the box with the CPU hanger. Minor point.
BTW, I have an existing under desk keyboard tray. Even with the optional crossbars, it works just fine. The tray goes under the bars slightly when fully pushed back, but it doesn't get near the keyboard itself. Another BTW, the casters are well worth the price. Given the weight, they made it much easier to position the desk. I thought they looked a little small, but they work well. -
Fantastic Versatile Desk Option!
I have had my Uplift 900 for about 2 months and have been 100% pleased! I would NEVER go back to a sole-ly sitting desk again.
It was very easy to assemble, and I loved that I could incorporate it seamlessly into my home-office decor by using my old desktop for the top. The legs are extremely sturdy, have a nice clean look, and the motor is very quiet.
I greatly appreciated the assembly video tutorials as well as the examples for how to safely keep the cords collected and untangled underneath.
The memory buttons are very helpful to remember my favorite standing & sitting heights.
Worth every penny! (and still cheaper and nicer-looking than the GeekDesk my husband bought for his home office!)
