This premium desk has some of the highest build quality of any we've reviewed, with all the features a professional requires from a sit-stand model. As befitting an executive-grade desk, this model, with its 25% discount, features a broad 48x27-inch desktop, black frame, a three-stage height range with programmable presets, and powered grommet. In the UK, a smaller Jarvis Bamboo is down to £645 (was £860) at Herman Miller .Read P

Our top pick is the Herman Miller Fully Jarvis Bamboo Standing Desk, which offers a large workspace that’s easy to adjust. It’s a pricey model though, so we recommend the FlexiSpot E1 Classic Standing Desk EF1 if you’re looking for a comfortable, ergonomic workspace at a good price.Read C

TL;DR — The Fully Jarvis Standing Desk is the best we’ve tested: sturdy, quiet, and endlessly configurable, earning a 4.9/5. It starts at $559 depending on how you spec it — if budget is tight, Fully’s Remi starts at $459 and skips the extras without sacrificing the build quality.Read A

TL;DR — We’d send most buyers to Uplift: it starts at $449 vs Jarvis’s $699, rates 9.5/10 on stability, and offers far more customization. The one case for Jarvis is noise — its T-frame motor is whisper-quiet where Uplift hums noticeably, worth the premium in a shared office.Read M
An attractive look, one thing to not is that in dry climates the bamboo may crack like in Colorado. This happened to us, Fully quickly replaced the top, but in just over a month it happened to the replacement surface as well.Watch
