Review of The Human Solution

One of Jesse Enkamp's (aka The Karate Nerd) videos...

One of Jesse Enkamp's (aka The Karate Nerd) videos got me thinking about the physiological benefits of a standing desk. I spent several hours researching electric sit-stand desks, ranging in price from a few hundred to many thousands of dollars. I settled on Uplift Desk company, located I believe in Austin, Texas. The Uplift Desk website was well designed and the Uplift V2 Desk had received several strong endorsements (especially in Wirecutter). I comparison shopped, I reflected on my preferences, I read published reviews, I read customer reviews, and I worried that I might be making a costly error. But I decided to take the leap and purchased the V2 Commercial (with stabilizer bar) in the 30" x 60" size with bamboo top and slide away keyboard tray. My order arrived at my door in five boxes in about five days from placing the order via Fed Ex. The directions were very well organized which made the desk easy to assemble. I especially loved the individually packaged assembly hardware parts, each in its own separate compartment with parts number printed to make inventory check and assembly most manageable. I LOVE the desk! I popped for the programmable height adjust keypad. I teach classes online and run synchronous meetings frequently. To be able to stand up while running meetings is wonderful. The Uplift Desk is very sturdy and very functional. The company offers numerous accessories, which I am scrutinizing even as I write this review. I like those single file cabinet with drawer on rollers option. It even comes with a padded seat cover. I was hopeful that the Uplift V2 Commercial Desk would be what I needed. Indeed, I'm very pleased with the product. Thanks UpliftDesk, and thanks Jesse Sensei!
