Clean Cut Desktops Made from Genuine Bamboo
Easy on the eyes and Mother Earth, our bamboo desktops are made from fast-growing and sustainable Moso bamboo, which is technically a species of grass. Expert desk makers source the material from forests in Asia, then harden the reeds and carbonize or "caramelize" them, to bring out unique, rich colors that vary from light golden brown, to dramatic shades of dark honey brown in our dark brown tops. You'll love the grain patterns on its top and edges.
You'll have your choice from a rectangular or curved desktop on your desk. Our curved desktop style boasts an inner edge cutout that lets you sit closer to your work, with a shallow bevel to cradle your wrists in the edge closest to you.
Looking for more bamboo desk options? We also offer 120 Degree, Curved Corner, and L-Shaped Standing Desks. For even more information, check out our comprehensive Desktop Brochure (pdf).
The UPLIFT V2 Advantage
In addition to being a beautiful desk to look at, our UPLIFT V2 Bamboo Stand Up Desk comes with newly-included features that can help you work better. The UPLIFT V2 Bamboo Standing desk boasts increased stability, new safety features, and even more reliability than before. Built with contract-grade quality (so you know it's made to last you years in the office), when you invest in an UPLIFT V2, you'll get all of this and so much more:
- Certified sturdy, both UPLIFT V2 and UPLIFT V2-Commercial Frames meet the ANSI/BIFMA X5.5-2021 Desk Standard for durability
- Mounting point system with 48 built-in, patented mounting points to use for a collection of accessories
- 3-stage legs that are 33% faster than 2-stage legs, letting you raise and lower your desk quicker
- Powerful dual motors (one in each leg) easily lift up to 355 lbs
- Improved anti-collision feature that stops your desk if it bumps into people or objects
- 15 year warranty on all mechanical, electrical, and frame components of the desk
- Quiet 48 dB operation means you don't distract others when adjusting
Which Frame Is Right for You?
For starters, the UPLIFT V2 Frame comes with a height range of 25.5" - 51.1" (with a 1" desktop installed), a range generous enough for most people and projects. Packed with advanced safety features, you can work with confidence that your desk will be safe at home and in the office. It also meets ANSI/BIFMA durability standards.
The UPLIFT V2-Commercial Frame, on the other hand, features a height range of 22.6" - 48.7" (with a 1" desktop installed). That means this commercial-grade desk has a lower starting height, a lower max height, and a larger overall height-adjustment range than the UPLIFT V2 Frame. To increase stability, UPLIFT Desk included a lower stability crossbar in its design. Created specifically to meet the ANSI/BIFMA G1-2013 height standard, which is required by a lot of the world's largest companies, it also meets the ANSI/BIFMA durability standard.
The UPLIFT V2-Commercial Frame also supports ergonomic working postures (pdf) for 5th percentile females through 95th percentile males, in positions for both sitting and standing.
Enjoy Adding Accessories to Your Frame
The frame on your UPLIFT V2 Standing Desk comes with a hidden secret underneath—a system of 48 individual mounting points that allow you to install accessories directly to your frame. All discreetly built into the frame, these holes allow you to attach things like desk extensions, CPU holders, and power strips to your workstation. You'll even have the option to add an under-desk hammock to yours, for those afternoon power naps (available now).
Note: the hammock is only compatible with the UPLIFT V2 Frame, and is not compatible with the UPLIFT V2-Commercial Frame because it interferes with its stability crossbar.
Unlock Advanced Features with the Advanced Keypad
Save time when raising and lower your desk and enjoy all of the features of the UPLIFT V2 with the Advanced Keypad.
Work with easy one-touch adjustments on four programmable memory buttons. Transition from sitting to standing postures in seconds—just by picking your preferred preset on the smart keypad.
Installing this keypad gives you advanced safety features, too, like anti-collision sensitivity and keypad child lock, making your desk the safest one in the office. Rest easy that your desk will only move when you want it to, and if it does come into contact with things in its environment, it's intelligent enough to know to stop.
The desk's maximum and minimum heights are also adjustable; set its upper and lower height limits, preventing your desktop from hitting shelves above, or file cabinets below, ever again.
Lastly, to reduce distractions, an auto-dark LED display will dim 10 seconds after each use, letting you keep your focus on your work and not on your beautiful new keypad.

Bamboo Desktop FAQs
- How is this bamboo desktop different from others on the market?
UPLIFT Desk's bamboo desktops start at a full 1" thick, which is a whole 25% thicker than other desk manufacturers offer. We also think it looks prettier, too.
- Is this a veneer of bamboo or solid?
All bamboo desktops made by UPLIFT Desk are constructed from 100% solid, pressed Moso bamboo. They are not veneered, in other words.
- Is this desk durable enough for me?
Yes, bamboo makes a fine desktop option for most setups and tasks. Did you know that bamboo reeds are 40% harder than oak? And at a whopping 1" thick, you don't have to worry about your bamboo desktop sagging or bending, even if you choose a wider desk, like our 72" wide desktops.
- What color is the bamboo desktop?
Take a look at our tops—our carbonized bamboo desktops' color can best be described as a yellowish-brown honey color. But keep in mind, since each desktop is composed of 100% real bamboo, each will be different and contain unique variations of color in each.
- Is this 100% solid bamboo, or if I cut it open will the desktop be hollow inside?
This is 100% solid bamboo that has been pressed together to form a durable desktop that you'll love to work at.
- Do you seal or finish the bamboo?
Yes, our bamboo is sealed with a safe, toxin-free clear coat that protects it against wear and tear, giving your desk a long life.
- Why is your bamboo desktop as affordable as your laminate desktops?
We're glad you asked! Since bamboo is a species of grass, it grows at a fast pace. The bamboo that is harvested to make our bamboo tops is readily available as compared to our reclaimed or solid wood desktops, which is something we took into account when pricing our tops. This lets you get an eco-friendly desk that sports a similar look to real wood, but at a fraction of the price!
- Would you say this bamboo scratches easily?
The bamboo is very durable, but that doesn't make it unscratchable! We suggest taking it easy with writing directly on your desktop or placing sharp objects on top, as these can dent and scratch its surface.
- Where do you get your bamboo from?
We sustainably source our bamboo from Thai and Chinese forests.
- How should I care for my desk?
To keep dust from collecting on your desk, we advise wiping it down with a microfiber towel every once in a while. For a deeper clean, all you should need is a towel with warm water and gentle soap.
- Do I need to worry about drilling through my desktop if I mount my desk accessories?
No, you shouldn't. Bamboo is an extremely durable material that holds up well, even when you drill into it to mount your accessories. However, we do advise double-checking that the screws you are using are no longer than 1" thick before you install anything.
- Will I be able to assemble this desk by myself?
Attaching the frame to the desktop can definitely be done by one person. However, we do suggest you have a friend's help to turn the desk right-side up after you put it together. Check out our video showing just how easy it will be to assemble your UPLIFT Desk.
- Can I order a sample of the bamboo desktop?
At this time, we don't offer sample pieces of the 1" thick bamboo desktop. But you are always welcome to come on down to our Austin showroom to see all of our beautiful desktops in person!
Picked as the "Best Standing Desk" by Wirecutter, if you're looking for an environmentally friendly, genuine bamboo desk that can help you accomplish more throughout the day (and look great while doing it), the UPLIFT V2 Bamboo Stand Up Desk is here to deliver.
Our bamboo desktops are sourced and made via methods that are safer for you and the environment. Made from Moso bamboo free of pesticides, fertilizers, dyes, and stains; to get its beautiful colors, we carbonize our tops, bringing out the natural golden to light brown shades in its grains. At a full 1" thick, our bamboo tops are over 25% thicker than most tops, giving you extra stability and even more surface area around the edge of the desk.
We have two options for the desk frame—the UPLIFT V2 and UPLIFT V2-Commercial. No matter which frame you end up choosing, we know you'll love your UPLIFT V2 Bamboo Stand Up Desk today and for years to come. Click here (pdf) to learn more about both of them and compare their differences. Want to see all desktop options we have? See our comprehensive Desktop Brochure (pdf).

Love my sit/stand desk
So I finally took the plunge and bought a sit/stand desk because of back pain. So worth it - regardless which desk you get, it's so much better for you. The reason I chose this desk was value for money. I looked at a number of competitors but really wanted a wood surface for the aesthetics. I was a little worried about 'scratch and dent' so I called up CS and they told me not to be. As it turns out, the only 'damage' I can see is the varnish coating is a bit thicker / has a visible run on a 3" portion of the side. And that's only noticeable when the light catches it. In terms of putting it together - about 1.5 hours on my own. The only time I needed help was flipping it over when assembled (I am 5'7", 126lbs with back pain!). The panel system was easy to set, the motor pretty quiet and fast enough. Love it. CS were very helpful with placing my order via the phone.
Totally in love with my desk.

Great desk!
I just wanted to say that even though I have only had my Uplift Desk a few days it has drastically changed my work experience. I have found that I no longer have lower back or leg pain. It has also boosted my energy level. I purchased the "scratch and dent" bamboo desktop but honestly it is beautiful. The craftsmanship of this desk far exceeded my expectations. Since this desk has literally changed my life, I will hopefully be sending more customers your way soon when I let them know of the wonderful craftsmanship and benefits of my Uplift Desk!
