ApexDesk Elite Pro Series 71" x 33" Electric Height Adjustable Stand up Desk, Sit Stand Home Office Desk, Computer Desk - Curved Teakwood

Recently moved to a new house, but since the new home office is too small to accommodate my old sit-only desk, I took this opportunity to upgrade to a Sit/Stand.This desk is exactly what I needed.I had a few concerns entering into this purchase. Would the desk support the weight? Would it be stable? Would the lack of any sort of reinforcement bar be an issue? I'm pleased to say after nearly a year of owning this that the desk is performing great.Assembly and disassembly are both super easy.Desk is solid and has no issue with a triple monitor setup (2x22", 1x27")Sure, there were a couple issues, but they were minor.- Controller was glitchy—Customer Service is great to work with and were able to get me back up and running quickly- Adhesive for cable clips didn't last long—Easy enough to get better clips, thoughThe only actual complaint I have is the bevel. The back of the desk is cut to allow one to easily clamp on a monitor arm, but the rest of the edges of the desk are beveled on the underside and the depth is enough to potentially cause problems when mounting mic boom arms and headphone clips. This has only been a minor inconvenience, certainly nothing to warrant docking any stars, but it is something to keep in mind when considering the purchase.Overall I am quite satisfied with the desk and ApexDesk's customer service. Highly recommended!

The media could not be loaded.  I spend a LOT of time at the computer editing audio, video, photos and typing and I have a goal to increase my activity levels this year so I thought the easiest way to do it would be to convert my home office into a standing/walking desk setup. After doing a lot of research, I bought this desk (the largest size) and a walking pad (Opps Decor Under Desk Walking Pad/Treadmill) and I have been absolutely LOVING it! Here are some things to know about the desk.It was super easy to assembled but definitely a 2 person job. The desk is VERY sturdy and heavy duty and can power lift anything you put on it smoothly and easily. You can see from my pictures that I have the PC I custom built for heavy video editing, dual 24" LED monitors on a stand, my Xfinity modem, Netgear Nighthawk router, internal hard drive docking station, Logitech speakers, smart phone charging/docking station, card reader, headphone stand, wireless keyboard, mouse and all sorts of misc stuff and I still have plenty of space to work around it all. I definitely recommend the bigger size (71" over 60") if you're in doubt.Once set up, the desk was easy to initialize and the instructions were very clear and easy to follow. The presets work great and are easy to program. I have one for sitting, one for standing and one for walking. The desk moves very quickly and smoothly and doesn't make me wait forever when I want to changes modes. The color of the desk top that I chose is very nice against all my black peripherals. I love that the desk comes with the option to have the contour in the front or just straight across. I chose the contoured version and I'm glad I did as it's much easier and more ergonomic to use when standing and walking.Cable management is going to be an issue with ANY desk of this type and it certainly is with this one as well. Mine came with the cable management tray which is normally sold separately and I highly recommend you buy it! It's not perfect but DEFINITELY helps with the cables! There are little white cable holds that pop into the tray and they won't stay put for me and keep popping out, but it's not a huge deal. The tray itself is SUPER sturdy and is made of the same metal and with the same finish as the base. BUY IT! Another accessory that I recommend buying if you buy this desk is a wall mount power strip (or two)! When extended to full height, this will lift your traditional ground dwelling power strips off the ground and stretch some cables to their limit unless you have some wall mounted ones. Worth every penny for a desk like this. Some more expensive desks have power strips integrated into the rear of the desk which would be awesome, but certainly nowhere near this price point. Now for things that I wish were better...First, the memory buttons don't work exactly as advertised. One press shows you the programmed height in inches. You're supposed to double press the button you want to move the desk to that height. When I double press the first time, the desk never responds. It's as if the first time wakes the desk up and the second time I double press it will move. This really isn't a big deal because it always does move after the second round, but it is a little annoying that it doesn't operate exactly as it should.Second, the desk top is made of a laminate that is more prone to scratches and dings than other materials. It's no cheap particle board, but for the price I was really hoping for something a little higher quality.Third, if you are a really tall person and you plan to walk under this desk, it might not go high enough for you to be very ergonomically friendly. I am 5'7" and have a walking pad that lifts me an additional 5" off the ground. In order for the desk to come right to my elbows for healthy and comfortable typing posture, I have to extend it to 47". It's upper limit is 49". So if you're taller than about 5'10" and want to use this as a walking desk and your walking pad is 5" or higher, you might need to think twice about this particular desk unless you have really long arms. As a standing only desk, I would imagine it would be fine for anyone about 6'4" or under.A note about walking desks in general: If you plan to walk while working, I would caution against walking and working if you do a lot of writing by hand or drawing that needs to be neat and legible. While typing and computer work are easy while walking (even at a good clip)! my handwriting is ABYSMAL and writing is very difficult while walking. Standing is no problem. Also, for you apple watch users who are hoping to track your steps and workout while walking and working, that is tricky too. It won't work unless you buy an apple watch arm band, and even then it won't track your distance or even your steps accurately because that's dependent on GPS to some degree. Last but not least, if you're planning to switch to a standing desk, I HIGHLY recommend that you streamline your peripherals FIRST and get as much wireless stuff as you can (bluetooth mouse and keyboard etc.) to help with the cable management issues.IN SUMMARY (finally), most desks that do what this desk does, as well as it does it are twice the price, if not 3 or 4 times more, and because I wanted to buy a walking pad as well, I couldn't afford a $3,000 desk right now. I am VERY VERY pleased with this desk for the price (and yes, I PAID FULL PRICE for this desk, it was not given to me for review)! The walking pad I bought was about the same price as the desk so I was able to sell my gym grade elliptical machine and buy both the desk and the walking pad. I easily put double digit miles in each day at my walking desk and it has changed my life! I have already lost 5 pounds and feel better than ever! This desk should be part of your new years resolution if you spend a lot of time at the computer like I do. I ABSOLUTELY recommend it, especially for the price! If this has been helpful, please let me know!

I found this desk during a very in depth search for the best desk for the money in the $600 price range, and the reviews all led me here. Most of the YouTube and website reviews everywhere from desk websites to furniture reviews recommend this desk unless you are willing to fork up twice the amount. I have to say, this desk is better than many you would fork up $1200 for! I purchased the 71" Concrete Top, Black Base version of this ApexDesk Elite Series.I will start with what I use it for: I use this desk for gaming and game development. I have two decently heavy monitors that are both 27" and a 17" HP ZBook Workstation (so not a small laptop by any means). They all fit along with my medium sized sound bar, 21 Pop! bobble head figures, my mouse, Logitech wireless charging mouse pad, my giant keyboard, my laptop cooler, a large 12-outlet power tower, and lots of cables and cords. Not only do these all fit on the desk nicely, but I have plenty of room for another 27" monitor (all in a row, none on top of each other), and much more! I love having the space to make games, and use my other utilities I need besides the computer to do it. If you are worried about the space to place everything, don't. This desk will fit all of the things you need, and more!I switched to a standing desk because I had a hernia surgery recently and my back has had issues ever since it went out lifting a bag of beans (believe it or not), and I head many things about the benefits of a standing desk for these issues, and just being healthier in general. I have to agree, in the short time I have had this, it already has helped relieve a lot of tension and pain in my back, and the surgical site is getting better by the day with this baby relieving most of the tension from it. A standing desk really is the way to go if you have back pain or other bodily pains like it.Now for the quality of the desk. I will admit that I have never tried another standing desk, but there isn't a single standing desk of this class and this price with a set of reviews like ApexDesk Elite Series! They deserve those reviews, because this desk, standing or sitting, is stable and durable. I am 6'7" and this desk keeps the top of the monitor and the top of my head level, which is what is recommended for posture, when at max-height (at the 48" setting, which is nice because many other desks do not raise to the height this one does), and sits very nicely when I lower it to my chair's height. It also is very quiet when raising and lowering compared to my dad's and moves at a decent speed. When standing at max-height, many other desks become pretty unstable, so I was concerned when buying this one that it would be the same. I was very wrong, this one has so little wobble, even when I shake it myself, that it is comparable to a normal non-standing desk when at max-height. Typing, moving the mouse, even lightly hitting the table to test wobble will not give almost at all. As a programmer, I look through a lot of small characters and words, wobbling makes it pretty hard to read; I actually have a hard time sometimes when my laptop screen shakes while I use it even the small bit it does. This desk is as stable as I could imagine a standing desk being. The tabletop is also very good quality from what I can tell, it feels sturdy, and leaning on it DOES NOT make me feel like it is going to break. The ergonomic shape is really nice and it truly helps with being closer to the monitors and make the desk all around easier to use.I was happy with the shipping. FedEx gave me a little hassle, but in the end Apex did very well and I got my packages one and two days early. The tabletop arrived two days early, and the leg and other assembly the next day with a day still until the predicted date on purchase. Not only was the desk in perfect condition thanks to ApexDesk layering in plenty of Styrofoam in the boxes and even more materials for padding, but they sent me a free set of cutout covers and a free cable tray. The cable tray they sent me for free is solid metal and very sturdy, and a decent size at that! When I got it out of the box, assembly took about 30-45 minutes from start to first stand at the desk raised up. They had a letter included and mentioned that the cable tray was a free gift and I was randomly selected, and that I had no obligation to mention it in any review I write. I appreciate them going out of their way to be a top-notch company and earn a long-time buyer.I would recommend this product to anyone in the market, my family and friends, and have in fact gotten my dad to the point this is his next desk. It is the best desk I have ever owned, and it is very good quality. The features are rich, and the shipping was quick and easy, just as the setup was. As a college student, I appreciate the space and stability. The price is well below what this product is worth, and I would love to return to buy my next desk from ApexDesk.From the other reviews, this company has the best customer support of any standing desks, and they are quick to replace damaged-in-shipping parts. The thank you letter was also a really nice touch. Thank you ApexDesk for the amazing product!I will update this review in the future if anything changes, but I have a feeling this 5-star review won't go away!
