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.

I bought an Apex Pro from Deshaus and it’s fantastic. I watched a lot of YouTube videos and paid attention and I wobble when standing. My house is old and the floors aren’t level, I have dual monitors, speakers on stands, and clamps on my desk for mic, lights, etc so I knew I needed something stable and a solid wood top. I also have two dogs that are goofy, but not super aware of their surrounds and will run into things so a 4 leg desk was on my shopping list. This desk is rock solid, even when it’s not on a level floor and loaded up. Love it! It’s fast and quiet allowing me to switch between sitting and standing easily. Get yourself an anti fatigue floor mat too. I grabbed the ergodriven topo mat

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.

For a big heavy setup like yours - definitely [Deskhaus](https://desk.haus/)!

It would probably be fine, but extreme strength and stability is what Deskhaus is known for!

Here’s how I see the standing desk market right now, in January 2026. **“Amazon Specials” like Claiks, ErGear, HUANUO etc. - Primary consideration: Budget.** These are frankly total trash, probably even worse than the cardboard boxes I used for my first few years of standing. **Flexispot - Primary consideration: Value.** Buy here if your first consideration is budget but you don’t want garbage. Stick to E7 and above. **Secretlab - Primary consideration: Cable Management.** Buy here if you’re a gamer and/or you just can’t stand to see a cord. **Uplift - Primary consideration: Corporate Sales.** Buy here if you’re a purchasing manager (at work or at home). No one ever got fired for buying IBM. **DeskHaus - Primary consideration: Stability.** Buy here if you want to absolutely annihilate any and all wobble or sway, or if you need to support a massive desktop. **Branch - Primary consideration: Apartment Chic.** Buy here if your home office is also your living room. And where we think we fit in: **Ergodriven - Primary consideration: Ergonomics.** Buy here if you actually want to use your standing desk. That’s the need we identified. While these brands have innovated around the edges, no one has actually improved the ergonomics of standing desks in 10+ years. We all know the true benefit of standing desks isn’t just standing - it’s movement - both while you’re standing, and in changing positions throughout the day. Experts recommend switching between sitting and standing 20+ times per day. For example, the human ergonomics program at Cornell recommends the 20-8-2 rule: in every 30 minute period, sit 20 mins, stand 8 mins, and move/stretch for 2 mins. That is a lot to manage, especially when you have work to focus on. It’s 2026. You shouldn’t be relying on willpower or setting phone timers to remember to use your expensive desk for its only purpose. **Your desk should monitor your presence and position, and automatically move for you.** That's what we think anyway. So that’s exactly what our Tempo Desk does. It’s the only standing desk you’re guaranteed actually to use! And so far people love it! You can see reviews on [this page](https://ergodriven.com/products/the-ergodriven-standing-desk). BTW if you already have one of those desks above (or have your heart set on them for the totally valid reasons I listed), you can still get our [Tempo controller](https://ergodriven.com/products/tempo-smart-controller-for-standing-desks) and just swap out your controllers in a few minutes (Tempo is compatible with all the brands above - and many others - except the “Amazon Specials”).

Not sure why the downvotes, idk if there's DeskHaus drama I missed, but I have a Deskhaus Apex Pro and really love it, would also recommend. I did have some mixed experiences with getting it shipped to Canada and the assembly instructions were not as straightforward/intuitive as I would've found ideal, but their customer service was really helpful with getting the challenges sorted and the product quality seems extremely high. The stability is excellent. Even on casters on carpet raised to a good height my Apex Pro is more stable than my old desk which was smaller and a normal/fixed height desk.

Not cheap, but I've been satisfied with my DeskHaus Apex Pro 4 leg frame and High Pressure Laminate top.

Deskhaus is the best option in my opinion. I had a Flexispot for about 2 years and it was sufficient as a basic desk. I wanted something bigger and wanted it to be STABLE. I ended up with the Apex Pro and I put a top on it that measures approx. 84” x 34”. I built the top because I wanted to try it. In hindsight, I would probably buy a top if I did it over, whether that meant getting one made or finding one ready made. For low maintenance, HPL (high pressure laminate) is hard to beat and will last an incredibly long thing. However, don’t discount wood because you perceive it as being high maintenance. That’s not really accurate. A slab wood top is probably going to be higher maintenance, as it is a single piece of wood and wood naturally “moves” as the environment changes. A top made from solid wood planks or similar is usually considered stable, because of the construction methods. If it is made from high quality plywood, it is considered dimensionally stable and there should be essentially no movement to worry about. The only care required is the same care any table in your home would require, except you want to avoid using harsh cleaners on wood. My desk was finished 2? years ago, I think, and other than the occasional wipe down or clean up from knocking my coffee over, it hasn’t needed any maintenance.
