UPLIFT Sit-Stand Desk Frame Only

Gray UPLIFT V2 Standing Desk Frame
 

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

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

    Uplift 900 Base Frame

    Posted by Sandra on Aug 21st 2014

    The frame was perfect for converting my desktop (older Steelcase variety). The base was placed under one section of the desk. I love it! Some words of caution. Be sure if having someone else install the base you insist they follow the installation instructions exactly. My installer did not do that and caused problems. The staff @ The Human Solution however worked with me to get the issue resolved. Even when there was a problem caused by the incorrect installation, The Human Solution did not quibble but replaced what was needed. A great product sold by a great company!

    Uplift Desk

    Posted by Bruce Woodward on Aug 14th 2014

    The desk frame I purchased was extremely easy to put together with a desktop and does everything I expected. Much better deal than some of the other adjustable desks I found online. I couldn't be happier.

    Great for multiple users

    Posted by Steve on Jul 24th 2014

    Using in an office environment paired with a Lifespan TR1200DT treadmill. Electronic up and down is a must in the office as so many different users can easily and smoothly raise and lower the desk height to their comfort without the hassle and potential risk involved with manual height adjustment. Smart move is to purchase as a frame only and add a desktop, this for me was less than other manual desks I was looking at. I easily assembled the frame, mounted it to the an old desktop I found in the office, ran the wires and mounted the controls where they were convenient and all has been working well for months now. All the staff love the ease of use and smooth & quiet operation of the Uplift 900 desk.

    Uplift 900

    Posted by Abdul H. on Jul 13th 2014

    I am very happy with this desk and with the company! It works beautifully and looks like it will stand the test of time.

    My desk had what I thought was a peculiar issue where one leg starts to lower first and the table starts to freeze up. I called the customer service and they were INCREDIBLY helpful. I am watching out for it to happen again, after they gave me another set of simple control reset instructions (hold the down button down for 15 seconds just like it says to do in the instructions when you initially set up the desk and things to look out for (making sure my cables are not too short for the movement of the desk or too tight to where they pull on the desk when raised, etc).

    The desk is great, but what really sells it is the customer service. They stand behind their product and will do whatever they can to make sure you enjoy your desk!

    Don't hesitate! Grab one now!

    Uplift 900 frame

    Posted by Ross Morrison on Jul 11th 2014

    I decided to customize mine so I had my own desktop refinished then I attached it to the UpLift 900 frame. The top is now attached to the Uplift 900 and it is looking and working great. We had a problem with one of the original cords, but customer service overnighted a new set and they are working well. Thanks for helping this 68 year old stay healthy.

    Uplift 900 Height-Adjustable base

    Posted by Dan on Jul 10th 2014

    I should have bought one of these years ago. I was not sure how much of my day I would stand - maybe an hour or two. I can easily say I use it in the standing position more than 50% even 80-90% of my day. I should have ordered one of these years ago. I've already got my brother-in-law and his father-in-law interested in one. It's that good. The only thing they don't tell you is to be sure you have a good pair of comfortable shoes and be sure to have a foot stand you can alternate resting one or the other foot on under the desk.

    Uplift 900 Frame

    Posted by Dave Andren on Jul 2nd 2014

    Very pleased with this desk frame. I now stand more than I sit.
    I only have access to 230V power outlets (the UpLift Desk is made for the USA 110V) so I had to purchase a transformer to convert 230V to 110V which was a disappointing extra cost ($120AUD), but once installed everything worked perfectly. An optional control box that handles 230V input would be an improvement.
    Another improvement would be to have the small LED height display only come on during movement.
    The desk is very stable, even when raised to the standing position.
    The motion from sit to stand is smooth and quick and I use the memory function for the 2 positions which saves mucking about with fine adjustments.
    As an international buyer, the Uplift 900 has been good value for money when compared to locally available products with similar features, even when factoring in the significant additional costs of shipping and the voltage converter.
    Overall, I'm very happy with the desk.

    The best adjustable desk

    Posted by Jeb on Jun 11th 2014

    I researched heavily all the available stand/sit desks including electric and non-electric models. This desk came out on top by far, and after using it for several months I can say that I love it:

    Specs: It has a HUGE range of adjustable height, it's faster than most models, has a high weight capacity, etc.

    Appearance: I am very pleased. Combined with a nice desktop it creates a very clean, modern but minimalistic and open look for my home office.

    Assembly: I used a large Ikea desktop. It took an hour or so to complete, but had good instructions and videos to help.

    Shipping: I think it took two business days to get to the east coast. Ships same day. These guys are on it!

    Build: Seems quite solid and high quality. I can lean on it with all my weight with no problem, etc.

    Other: I would consider the optional advanced cable management system to be essential unless you have some other system. Keeps everything tucked out of sight and the desktop clean and neat.

    I don't often spend this much on furniture but having used this desk for a few months I have no regrets. In fact, I would consider this an essential item for any office that exists in this century. The ability to choose any height, make fine adjustments throughout the day, and switch from standing to sitting does wonders to help/prevent workplace fatigue and spinal/wrist problems. It has changed my daily working life drastically for the better.

    UpLift 900

    Posted by Allan on May 20th 2014

    I bought the frame and casters and made a top that I could get trough doorways in order to move from room to room.
    It works well and I especially like the option to stand when I work. Having the ability to get the top exactly the right height to the fraction of an inch for me is really important. I can't think of any changes I'd like so it's good.
