Deskhaus - Apex Pro

Quality and readymade arent a thing in the standing desk space in 2025. I did a deep dive after needing the same as you last year. I decided quality was more important than readymade so I went with the Deskhaus Apex Pro legs + wood countertop from Floor & Decor. Then spec'd out with Balolo desk accessories. The countertop took a couple days to stain and seal but super happy I did it this way. Here is my review: [https://www.reddit.com/r/StandingDesk/comments/1hg2oj6/deskhaus\_apex\_pro\_is\_it\_still\_worth\_it\_in\_2025/](https://www.reddit.com/r/StandingDesk/comments/1hg2oj6/deskhaus_apex_pro_is_it_still_worth_it_in_2025/)

Deskhaus Apex Pro! Perfect desk

Deskhaus apex pro. Pricey but absolutely SOLID. I’ve had mine for a year, using it every day and have had zero issues with it. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Deskhaus apex pro is what I have and it’s solid. I have dual monitors mounted on it as well as lights, mic, full size speakers, etc. it’s super stable and I love that it has 3 presets so I have one for sitting, one for standing, and one for my balance board.

Return it and go with Deskhaus

I'm 6'6 and a pretty built dude. I lean on my Apex Pro like 3-4 hours a day with barely any monitor wiggle. Super solid desk. 

I did a lot of research on this and deskhaus is the best by far. It is a little pricier, but the stability is unmatched and is actually cheaper than other desks that offer the same stability. Mine is rock solid after years of having it.

I had some good responses with Deskhaus, Flexispot, and Uplift. Didn't really contact anybody else.

They are really sturdy front to back but as you add more overhang width, the side to side stability decreases. How noticable it is really depends on how you use the desk and your tolerance of stability. There is also the risk of sag with large overhangs but it may be mitigated by how thick your desktop is. All the desks I have listed below have enough weight capacity for your setup. Deskhaus has the Apex Pro and Peak Pro would work depth wise at 21" and has extended rail options that increase the frame width to 96". The Apex Pro is the only one here that I have personally used and I think it's really stable. The stability of the other desks should be in the same ballpark. Desky Quad frame would actually be too big in depth at 34" but is wide enough at 95". Flexispot's E7 Plus would work for the depth but its max width is 63", leaving a 17" overhang on each side. Flexispot's other 4 leg desks would be too big in depth. Uplift has a 4 leg desk but is also too big depth wise at 28". Uppeal has the Lowdesk Max at 21" depth, 82" width, and the largest height range of 15-47".

I think the Desky would be worth it over the one on Wayfair. The Wayfair one's desktop is in three pieces, so you will have two joints down the depth of the desk. Warranty is a good indicator of the company's faith in their product, so I would go with the longer warranty. Their site doesn't show that the 10 year warranty is something you would purchase like an extended warranty, so it should come with your purchase of the desk. I have a Deskhaus desk that I am very happy with and have used an Uplift desk that was also great. I believe Desky's desk is also manufactured by the same company, Jiecang, except the Deskhaus Apex is manufactured in their US factory. Uplift would be a good one stop shop for you. They just came out with their v3 but I don't know how it compares to their v2. Deskhaus has their Peak series that is comparable to the Uplift v2, but I don't know if you are willing to wait for it to come back to stock. The Deskhaus Apex is a great desk and I love it, but I don't see it's worth anymore compared to the Peak unless you really want something American made.

I just got a DeskHaus Apex Pro last week and I love it. Highly recommend. I already had an IKEA Karlby desk top so I just bought the DeskHaus leg frame as long overdue upgrade. If you want to save some money now, consider a cheap top with Apex Pro leg frame and upgrade the top later. You can probably get a cheap solid top from Facebook Marketplace or thrift store.

One thing I have to point out is that both we and Deskhaus focus on the essence of what makes a desk... well, a desk. When you're using a desk, the most important thing—or let’s say the most annoying thing—is how much it wobbles. This is something a lot of people don’t realize because with a regular desk that’s 27 inches high, as long as it’s not a total piece of junk, it’s usually pretty stable. But here’s the catch: when you raise a desk to 35 or 48 inches, wobbling becomes an issue. This is just a universal downside of standing desks—it’s unavoidable. The best anyone can do is minimize it. That’s why some customers think their standing desk is defective when it feels unstable, but in reality, that’s just how these desks work. For example, check out this \[[YouTube video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-mWszhGYcw)\] that tests the stability of the Uplift V2. Now, back to the point. While Secretlab's desk does have a ton of flashy accessories that look cool, I personally think they missed the mark on the desk’s core purpose—it’s got noticeable wobble. Those fancy add-ons? You can find similar ones on Amazon and use them with a more stable standing desk, which I think is a smarter move. That said, most decent two-leg standing desks are stable enough for typical office use. For example, when you’re typing while standing, you won’t really notice the monitor shaking unless you’re actively pushing on the desk. That’s why some people are perfectly happy with Secretlab’s desk—it all comes down to how much wobble someone can tolerate. If you’re more sensitive to wobbling, you might want to look into a four-leg standing desk for better stability. Even among four-leg desks, though, there are differences. Build quality matters a lot. Generally, unless you’re dealing with crazy brand markups, pricier desks tend to have wider crossbars, thicker legs, and three-stage columns. For instance, comparing our FlexiSpot E7 Plus and E7Q, both are four-leg standing desks, but the E7Q is more stable because it’s built with a heavier-duty frame. You can literally see it in the product weight. But here’s the kicker: the E7 Plus is priced similarly to many two-leg standing desks, and it’s obviously way more stable than those. Check out this \[[stability test video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V53gM7FxBGU)\]—start at the 5-minute mark to see the E7 Plus in action. If your budget’s got some wiggle room, the Deskhaus Apex Pro or our E7Q would both be solid picks.

I've had my deskhaus apex pro for 5 years and it's as sturdy and works as well as the day I got it. I went with the hpl top and there's nothing cheap about it. No damage at all and washes easily. Personally I wouldn't buy another brand standing desk. But I also will likely never need to.
