VIVO Electric Stand Up Desk Frame Workstation, Frame Only with 220 lbs Capacity, Brushless Motor Standing Height Adjustable Legs with Memory Controller, Black, DESK-V100EBY

Really great value for a sit/stand desk
Despite the great reviews, I was a bit skeptical about the quality of a $180 sit/stand desk frame. I was shocked to pick up the box on my front porch and it was VERY heavy, indicating it is probably better quality that I imagined.Assembly:Pretty straight forward for anyone who has assembled shipped furniture before. You build it from the bottom up. Feet attach to the legs, legs connect at the cross bar, desk supports attach to the legs, and desk attaches to the supports. I already had a 29″x59″ LINNMON top from Ikea, which is hollow core so I marked where the desk should be, marked where the screw holes are on the desk supports, and installed hollow door anchors where I would attach the desk for extra stability. A couple of the screws that take the hex wrenches are a bit soft so I ended up stripping a couple of them on the final turn into the part. Not going to be fun to take those apart if I ever have to but hopefully that isn’t for awhile. That is my only negative experience I had with assemblyQuality:All metal exterior parts which are very heavy and sturdy individually. There are more expensive versions of this frame, which VIVO support indicated to me is due to the quality of the internals on the motor itself (plastic on this model vs metal on others). I’m not lifting an extreme amount of weight so I went with the cheap option. The single motor is more than enough to lift the large Ikea hollow desk, two laptops, and two 27″ monitors with a metal arm mount (also VIVO, very happy with it as well). When seated, i have my desk at about 30″ from the floor. It is sitting on medium pile carpet and there is absolutely no sway at the seated height. When raised to a standing position, it is about 46″. There is maybe a half inch of left-to-right sway and about the same forward/backward. The forward and backward sway could be due to mine sitting on carpet where the legs are just swaying on the soft surface but it is enough sway that it shakes my monitors if move the desk too much. The side to side sway is pretty much par for the course with any sit/stand I’ve used.Overall Pros: * Very solid build quality. The pieces are a heavy-duty solid metal * Speed and strength of the single motor is plenty for a 60″ desk with two laptops and two large monitors. * Directions are easy as can be. * Looks very nice. Sharp lines, modern desk feet, jet black colorOverall cons: * The slight sway of the desk at its highest can be a bit annoying. It’s slightly more than what I’ve experienced with more expense desks. Could also be due to mine being on carpet * Quality of some of the machine screws and bolts were a bit soft causing me to strip them * The two trays they include for cable management are very small and leave little clearance between the tray and the desk. If you’re like me with 20 some cables running around, you’ll need a more robust solutionReally unbelievable value for what you are getting here. Especially if you’ve already got a desktop sitting at home that would be compatible, it is a no brainer purchase. At my office we have Herman Miller sit/stand desks that are about the same width as what I’ve done here and I can only tell there is a slight dip in quality. Certainly not a $1400 dip in quality which is about the price difference there. Highly, highly recommend this. Only regret is that I didn’t buy this when I started working from home 11 months ago.

Wow!? Super Surprised and Impressed it’s of the same quality as Herman Miller
Current SituationI have an Elfa closet system in my 3′ x 6′ closet where I’ve setup a tiny office. This includes a 30″ wide x 20″ deep Elfa stationary desk.ProblemI’m tired of just sitting all day long. I was trying to find a compact adjustable height desk but limited options are out there for that small of a size. Herman Miller had a perfect one that was $1400 with a table top, but that was a steep price to pay because I didn’t want the mistake of paying that much to find out I couldn’t get the desk inside the closet or the specs were off by even a 1/4 of an inch.SolutionI found this Vivo online for only $300. I love the fact you could make it as wide or narrow as you want which really gave me a lot of flexibility to make this system work in my closet. I also have an existing table top that I could use. At a 1100 savings, it was worth the risk.OutcomeIt was amazingly perfect. The material is solid steel. Boy this thing is heavy. It looks great too! And it took me less than 45 minutes to put it together. Would have been shorter, but this included the time to unbox and cleanup.Helpful Tips- If you’re looking for a narrow table top, I would suggest going to the Container store and look at their Elfa desk options. Ikea is another place to find some nice table tops. Or just make your own.- I didn’t screw my table top in. There are rubber feet on the steel bars that are extremely grippy. This saved me at least 20-30 minutes of not having to make holes in my table and screw it on. It doesn’t slip or move at all. Solid!!!So happy I purchased this and glad I didn’t spend $1400 for something that was overkill. Still shocked this is >1000 cheaper.

Sit stand desk frame working well, motor runs smoothly and quietly. Customer support was quick and responsive when I contacted them with a question.

easy to install, works great. I used a 1600 x 750 x 28 solid wood desk top with no issue, no wobble. very quite. happy with the purchase
