Chosen "Best Standing Desk" by Wirecutter seven years in a row. Review periods: 2019-2020, 2020-2021, 2021-2022, 2022-2023, 2023-2024, & 2024-2025

Why use a standing desk?

Humans were designed to move

Switch between sitting and standing throughout the day to improve health, comfort, and productivity. Ergonomists like to say that the best posture is your next posture. We all need to keep moving instead of straining to maintain a "perfect posture" for long periods.

Stand at the perfect height

Take a break from sitting and stand tall at a stable desk.

Sit at the perfect height

Adjust your seated desk height, to enable perfectly straight wrists while typing and mousing.

Freedom through movement

Eliminate the feeling of being trapped at your desk and gain freedom through motion.

Invest in yourself

A desk is the cornerstone of an office. It's where work gets done. We all want an office designed to make our body feel good while we do great work. The most impactful and useful office furnishing is a quality stand-up desk that's configured and optimized with accessories. Visit the Benefits of a Standing Desk page to learn more.

L-Shaped UPLIFT Standing Desk

With room to spare, this desk is a great multitasker. The L-shaped design maximizes the amount of reachable desk space to keep everything at hand and just the right height. Rather than reorganizing to switch gears or burying the keyboard under paperwork, give projects a little breathing room.

Move the extra space to either side with a return that attaches securely on both the right and left to suit changing spaces and needs. The versatile and flexible L shape also makes this a great corner desk, equally well suited for the office and working from home.

The L-Shaped UPLIFT Standing Desk is built on the industry-leading, award-winning height adjustable UPLIFT V2 Frame. It's the same frame design as our 2-leg desk, Wirecutter's standing desk pick for seven years running.

  • Patented accessory mounting system - 48 threaded bolt holes in the desk frame add unique modular functionality for securely attaching accessories directly to the heavy steel desk frame

  • Rock-solid stability - we're laser focused on being the most stable sit-stand desk in the industry

  • Built to last - heavy-duty steel construction

  • Three precision-drive motors - one motor housed in each leg, with a total lifting capacity of 535 lb and quiet operation below 48-dB

  • 3-stage legs - 33% faster movement and 33% more height range than competing desks with 2-stage legs

  • One-touch adjustment - simply tap to change desk height and conveniently keep moving

  • Free wire management included - keep cords tidy

  • Advanced anti-collision system - six-axis electronic gyroscope sensor in control box measures desk motion for more accurate and reliable collision avoidance

  • Simple assembly - watch us assemble a desk in 7 minutes. Do it yourself or use our affordable assembly service

  • ANSI/BIFMA - all UPLIFT Desks pass the stability, strength, safety, and durability testing requirements per ANSI/BIFMA X5.5-2021 desk and table products standard. The UPLIFT V2-Commercial frame also meets the ANSI/BIFMA G1-2013 height standard

  • Free design services - outfitting a commercial office? We offer complimentary design services

  • 15-year warranty on all UPLIFT Desk products - that means 100% of the desk (including all parts of the desk frame AND the desktop) and all UPLIFT accessories are covered for 15 years. We're here to satisfy and keep you moving!

Stay in the zone

L-shaped ergonomic desks provide extra space within the three working zones. Face the main desktop to get more room on the return side, or configure your desk with a Corner Sleeve and set up facing the corner created by the desk and return for a massive working area. Corner sleeves are available with or without attached keyboard trays.

Primary zone: Located approximately 15" to 17" from the user, this zone is best for items that are used most frequently (like a keyboard and mouse).

Secondary zone: Located approximately 27" from the user, items placed here can be reached without leaning. It's a good space for a phone, beverage, notepads, reference materials, or calculator.

Tertiary zone: The third zone stretches 42" to 45" from the user. It's a good space for lamps, sunglasses, or books.

Pick a side, any side

The L-shaped desk extensions, also known as returns, are designed to be used on either side of the main desktop. You can choose left or right return to change the desk in the configurator, but this doesn't affect your order. You'll make the final decision when assembling the desk. And don't worry—you can always switch it up down the line as your space, needs, or mood changes.

Sustainability & durability design philosophy

We believe that office furniture should be guaranteed for a minimum of 15 years. The short lifespan of "fast" furniture is not sustainable and isn't good for the planet. Plain and simple: it's not what we do. UPLIFT Desk products are designed and built to last, and our customer support and warranty teams are eager to help make sure that happens.

Mindful packaging design

Our package design has two goals: protect the product & reduce environmental impact. All stand-up desk frame packaging is 100% recyclable and EPE foam-free. We are constantly working toward using better and less materials in all product packaging.

Please recycle cardboard

Cardboard is 100% recyclable and biodegradable, as it has the least environmental impact of any packaging material. Recycled cardboard uses 90% less water and 50% less electricity than manufacturing new cardboard.

Solar powered operations

Our Austin facilities produce over a megawatt of electricity through roof-mounted solar panels on three large warehouses.

We produce more electricity than we consume.

One desk, five trees

We plant 5 new trees in U.S. National Forests for every 1 solid wood desktop sold. This helps offset our own environmental impact and ensure the resources we enjoy today will continue to be available for future generations.

We have planted over 330,000 trees with the National Forest Foundation.

Wood is one of the best and sustainable materials to use, as it consists mostly of carbon and is an effective way to not only trap carbon, but repurpose it too!
