60" x 30" maple GREENGUARD-certified laminate desktop
 

Greenguard-Gold Certified Laminate Desktops

It's your choice of several different Greenguard-Gold Certified laminate finishes on your UPLIFT V2 Laminate Standing Desk. At 1" thick, these durable desktops are made from eco-friendly, recycled MDF. Outfit your desk in black or white—or if you're a fan of woodgrain, choose from walnut, maple, cherry, or ash gray finishes.

Greenguard-Gold Certification ensures that these desktops have been tested for chemical emissions, meaning these tops have met the standards set by seven different regulating bodies, ensuring your desk is safe for you and your indoor air quality.

What Sets UPLIFT Desk Apart?

When you're looking for a sit-stand desk that can help you accomplish more throughout the day, look no further than the UPLIFT V2 Laminate Standing Desk.

The designers at UPLIFT Desk took their most popular desk frame and made it even better. Work with improved stability at all heights, safety during movement, reliability you can trust, and a new versatile desk design complete with built-in mounting points. Make your desk your own by installing desk accessories directly to your UPLIFT V2 Frame. With this much freedom, you can now truly create the height adjustable workstation of your dreams.

When you invest in an UPLIFT Desk, you get all of this and more:

    • Both the UPLIFT V2 Frame and UPLIFT V2-Commercial Frame are rugged and built to last, and are certified by the ANSI/BIFMA X5.5-2021 durability standard
    • Patented mounting points built right into the frame give you 48 dedicated spots to attach UPLIFT Desk accessories
    • 3-stage legs that allow you to adjust for height 33% faster than desks with 2-stage legs
    • Dual motors, one in each leg, can easily haul up to 355 lb
    • Added anti-collision technology prevents your desk from continuing to move if it comes into contact with people or objects
    • 15 year warranty on all parts of the frame, as well as any electrical or mechanical components
    • Quiet motors make only 48 dB of sound when making height adjustments

The UPLIFT V2 Frame and the UPLIFT V2-Commercial Frame

The UPLIFT V2 Frame features a height range of 25.5" - 51.1" with a 1" desktop installed. This popular frame is remarkably sturdy, quiet, and comes with advanced features found in UPLIFT V2 desks alone. This frame was even selected as the "Best Standing Desk" by Wirecutter.

The UPLIFT V2-Commercial Frame features a height range of 22.6" - 48.7" with a 1" desktop installed. It also has a lower starting height, a lower max height, and a wider overall height range than the UPLIFT V2 Frame. This contract-grade frame meets and exceeds ANSI/BIFMA durability standards, while also meeting the ANSI/BIFMA G1-2013 height standard, a standard required by many of the world's largest companies.

The UPLIFT V2-Commercial Frame also supports ideal ergonomic working postures (pdf) for 5th percentile females through 95th percentile males, in both seated and standing positions.

Patented Mounting Points for Accessories

Although you might be admiring it for its sleek design, it's what's inside and hidden from view that will change how you think about what sit-stand desks can do. Four dozen independent, patented mounting points let you use your desk in a whole new set of ways with our growing collection of desk accessories. Now you can attach accessories directly to your desk frame, letting you adapt your desk to your exact needs.

With accessories planned for release like desk extensions, CPU holders, and power strips—and even fun accessories like an under-desk hammock—your desk will be ready for pretty much anything and everything.

A quick note: the hammock is only compatible with the UPLIFT V2 Frame. It’s not compatible with the UPLIFT V2-Commercial Frame due to the fact that it interferes with its stability crossbar.

Unlock All of Your Desk's Features with the Advanced Keypad

When you upgrade to the Advanced Keypad, not only do you save time by not having to hold down buttons—you get to enjoy extra features, too.

Work will feel seamless when adjusting your desk thanks to quick one-touch adjustments on the Advanced Keypad's four programmable buttons. Switch between sitting, standing, perching, and all of your postures in a few seconds, giving you the perfect amount of time to move your chair.

Anti-collision sensitivity and keypad child lock are two improved safety features that were added to the UPLIFT V2 to make sure your desk provides only the safest height adjustments. If your desk does come into contact with people or objects, it will stop quickly and slightly reverse, allowing you to remove whatever was in the way. Keypad child lock lets you lock your desk's height, a feature that really comes in handy when there are little ones nearby.

You'll also have the ability to set your desk's maximum and minimum heights, preventing your desktop from knocking into shelves above or file cabinets below.

And to reduce distractions at your desk and in your area, you'll appreciate the Advanced Keypad's auto-dark LED display, which dims the keypad to distraction-free darkness 10 seconds after you press a button.

UPL921 UPLIFT V2 Laminate Standing Desk FAQs

  1. How will this desktop hold up?

    Laminate is a reliable and sturdy material that holds up well over time. Designed with durability in mind, our laminate options are affordable desktops that allow you to get the look of real wood for a fraction of the price.

  2. Isn't laminate a little dated?

    Although laminate furniture has been around for a few decades, times are changing. We work with our designers to create only the most stylish and eye-catching desktops to pair with your UPLIFT V2 Frame. We exclusively offer Wilsonart certified laminates, which come with some of the most diverse finish options around, so you can pick the exact finish that matches your personality and office style.

  3. What are these desktops made out of?

    The laminate we use is composed of thermally-fused melamine laminate over 45 lb density E-1 rated particle board core, and comes with a 3 mm PCV edge banding for a clean and seamless look around the edges. All of the layers of the are fused under extremely high pressure to form a solid surface that's durable enough to withstand years of work. And at a full inch thick, our desktops are much thicker than the laminate desktop thicknesses offered by our competitors.

  4. Why isn't my whiteboard desktop erasing completely?

    We have found that black dry erase markers tend to perform the best on these desktops. If any residue or ghosting is left behind after erasing the desktop, use Expo White Board Cleaner. If that doesn't remove all of the residue, try 70% isopropyl alcohol. You can also write over the unerased portion with another dry erase marker, let it dry, and then erase it.

  5. Is this desk suitable for sewing?

    Yes, our laminate desks are great for sewing and crafting.

  6. Can I add my own desktop to this?

    Yes, you can install your own desktop to the UPLIFT V2 Frame (pdf).

  7. Will I need more than one person to put my desk together?

    You should be able to assemble the desk frame and attach it to the desktop solo. However, you will need two people to safely turn the desk right-side up after assembly.

You rely on your desk to take you to that next level of work in the office. When you're ready to work at a desk that rises to your expectations, we give to you the UPLIFT V2 Laminate Standing Desk. Wirecutter winner in "Best Standing Desk" category in 2019-2020 and in 2020-2021., this desk raises the bar on efficiency, stability, and innovation, giving you a desk that does more.

And when it comes to durability, affordability, and quality, our Greenguard-Gold Certified laminate desktops don't disappoint and come in a wide variety of styles to match your space.

Work better knowing that when you invest in an UPLIFT Desk, you're getting the most advanced sit-stand desk available.

    Uplift 900

    Posted by Paul Coleman on Mar 22nd 2014

    60X30 desktop and height adjustment works very well. I would buy again. I got a computer mount cpu holder which is very handy and along with the cable management, all the cables stay neatly tucked away underneath. I think they do cable management better than anyone else. It was easy to assemble and I can see no reason to spend the extra money for another brand that can't be any better than this desk. It's perfect really.

    Uplift 900

    Posted by Peggy on Mar 17th 2014

    Got a 72"x30" laminate sit-stand desk here for the husband as a birthday present. He loves it. Delivery was straightforward--I paid a little extra for Lift-Gate so that they would bring the pallet down from the truck. Wasn't too heavy for two people to bring the parts indoors. Although we did have to break down the wood pieces from the pallet and bring to dump yard ourselves. You could give pallet to driver and just take the boxes off the pallet right away and bring each box into the house (the reason for the pallet is the large box which holds the 72X30" desktop). They called ahead of time to schedule a delivery date--gave an 8 hour window (!!!) but came within the first 3 hours of the window. Desk was everything as described. I was impressed with the laminate quality--was afraid it would look cheap or flimsy compared to solid wood but its nice and sturdy. Set up was pretty easy and when we weren't sure of the directions cuz the picture wasn't clear, the video on the website cleared things up. I'm glad we got the rolling casters--makes it so much easier to move the desk where you need it--its heavy and sturdy!!! And once casters locked, does a good job of keep the desk in place. I plan to get one for myself soon too.

    Works really great, after set up.

    Posted by Russell Sheridan on Mar 14th 2014

    Plenty tall enough for a 5' 11" guy like me to stand and work. Parts are heavy and sturdy, but the pay off is worth it - you can easily crouch under the desk at full height and work on your desktop there. Such an improvement from a small and/or nonadjustable desk.

    It loses 1 star for the following reasons:

    1) Adhesive on underbelly zip ties is limited on how many wires you can hang from it. It unstuck itself after a month or two. Luckily the tension from the cable bundle within the zip tie itself kept it suspended. They sell an advanced wire management kit that would solve this because it comes with mountable wire trough and some other nice wire management pieces.
    2) No pre-drilled holes on the desk I ordered here but screws simply insert into the laminate without the need to pre-drill. So put the frame where you want it then set the top on the frame then use an electric screwdriver to insert the grabber screws.
    3) It's not 'real wood unless you buy their real wood desk. It's a laminate wrapped over a different kind of wood. It's solid and heavy. The kind you'd maybe get for $100 from Ikea.

    More on 2 & 3:
    It would've been a better deal to just buy a heavy solid counter-top (not a light hollow one) at Ikea for $100 and have it slimmed down by a woodworker for 40$ or less.

    All that aside, it's working really well. The memory switch mechanism to save positions is intuitive and great.

    UpLift 900 Desk Review

    Posted by George Frade on Mar 12th 2014

    Had to make some "mods" to fit over my regular desk, but love it and the ability to sit / stand and even have two work surfaces to work on as needed.

    Good quality and value! Desk is solid and laminate is good looking. Goes up and down easily. Really nice.

    UpLift 900 with Butcher Block Top

    Posted by Doug on Feb 12th 2014

    I just received my desk yesterday and ergonomically its a great desk. Works perfectly. Assembled no problems and good instructions. Make sure you buy a laminate desk if you want to use your mouse directly on the surface. As their site points out, the butcher block top requires that you use a mouse pad if you want your optical mouse to work.

    happy

    Posted by Paul C. on Jan 27th 2014

    I'm very pleased with my desk. It did require quite a bit of assembly (about an hour and a half). The wire management system was essential if you care at all about how the desk looks. It does come with simple wire management adhesive wire clips even if you don't order the advanced wire management kit but you get a lot of nice stuff with the advanced kit and it let me really get my wires perfect. I'm happy with my purchase.

    Excellen product and Outstanding Customer Service

    Posted by George K on Jan 22nd 2014

    The desk does exactly what it is supposed to do. The up/down leg unit is very well made and sturdy. I would rate the fit and finish on the desk top as Good , as the fit and finish at the corners where the laminate meets the plastic edge banding is OK, but not perfect.
    The Human Solution's Customer Service is Outstanding! If you call, you get to speak to an actual human who knows the product and can answer question about the delivery service.
    Very easy to assemble -- excellent printed instructions, though their on-line how-to assemble videos probably make the printed instructions less necessary.
    Also, their shipping department emailed me and asked if I wanted the mounting holes in the desktop for all my accessories pre-drilled at no charge! (Yes.)
    The unit was very well packed for shipping, which is by common carrier (truck). If you order this, unless you have a loading dock, be sure to spring for the lift-gate service. (I suspect the local company who did deliver it would have off-loaded it to my garage anyway, but you never know.) If they say they won't just tip them to put things where you want and they usually will do what you want.

    I am happy with the desk, it does what it is supposed to do and is solid. The Human solution was quick to help me with my desk questions when I contacted them.

    Uplift 900

    Posted by Lisa on Oct 7th 2013

    I purchased this desk on 8/12 and they website said my order would not be shipped for a couple of weeks since the black base I wanted was not immediately available (they had silver & white bases available for immediate shipment). This was a bit of a bummer as I wanted black but I had waited to buy an adjustable height desk for so long, a couple of extra weeks wasn't too bad to wait. I ordered the electric uplift 900 with an upgraded laminated maple top in the 30" X 60" size. It is a perfect fit in my cubicle at work. The motorized lift is a great feature since I do not have to crank the table up and down. The preset heights buttons are helpful also - I don't use all 4, only use the first two buttons: one for sitting and one for standing heights. I ordered the budget dual monitor arm and absolutely love it! It creates so much free space on the desk! I did not order the wire management kit for under the desk, and I wish I did. The power strip and wires are just dangling under the desk which I didn't think would bother me, but now that everything is in place you can see them and it looks a bit messy. I ordered the caster wheels and am happy I did so I can move my desk around or pull it away from the wall as needed for easy access to wires or under my desk. The casters are just the right size to support the desk. They seem very sturdy and strong like they won't break. I did not order the floor mat, pedestal, CPU holder (I have a laptop), or keyboard tray. These are all things that I do not use normally so no need to order them. I ordered with the free business lift gate delivery service and they were easy to deal with. They called to arrange a delivery date and time to accommodate my schedule. I had 2 of our onsite facilities team members put my desk together. Even with no experience, they were able to put my desk together in much less than an hour. Only trouble I saw was that the monitor arm screws were easily stripped when trying to attach my monitors. I wish extra screws were provided to make up for this. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with this desk. I get non-stop compliments from co-workers all day long. I love the ability to stand at work. I have no complaints about the function of the table and recommend this particular model.
