The Human Solution

After doing some in depth research on how these height adjustable desks are manufactured.

If you're thinking about putting your standing desk together DIY style, then you've got a lot of choices in standalone bases that you can buy to match up with a desktop. The Jiecang Linear Motion Technology Company of Zhiejang, China, is one of the long-time producers of electric standing desk bases, used more than any other base by popular online sellers of standing desks, including GeekDesk, S2S (sold by Ergoprise), Jarvis (sold by Fully) and UpLift (sold by TheHumanSolution) to name but a few.

Jiecang (and it's OEM resellers) have had a long history of exaggerating their performance specs. Yes, the UpLift base will haul at 1.3 inches per second, but not loaded at its 355 lb published max weight specification. In fact, we couldn't get the desk to even reach its top height before the motors overheated and the controller went into error mode; and that was at a transit speed 25% slower than the spec rating. While the published specification for duty cycle is 2 minutes of operation with 18 minutes of rest for motor cool-down we started noticing very unusual motor behavior after only two up/down cycles (about 80 seconds) with only a 300-lb load.

Conclusion - all the standing desks are from the same manufacturer in china. Go with a more affordable alternative like Fully. Read the detailed review below. It is worthwhile reading if you plan on investing $500+ into a electric height adjustable desk.
