"I bought this desk 6 months ago, as it became clear that I will be working from home due to the COVID epidemic. I didn't mean to wait this long to post a review, since it was immediately clear that the desk was top-quality. But now I can say that after 6 months of use I am extremely happy with it. Here is why:- It is extremely sturdy. Whether raised or lowered, I can lean on it, bump it, move stuff on it, type, etc. and it is comparable in stability to a regular desk.- The desk is huge! I can fit everything on it - 3 monitors, a docked laptop, 2 keyboards and mice (see picture). I could even fit my gaming desktop, if I needed to.- The range of motion exceeds many other desks. I'm 6ft and I like to keep at 45" when standing.- The two motors are powerful and have worked without a hitch for the last 6 months.- The surface looks and feels high-quality. It brings me joy :)I have absolutely no negatives to report. Additional things that I want to share:- It came with a free cable organizer tray that mounts underneath and is great for managing power strips and cables.- The desk comes in 3 packages. Fedex mishandled the desktop and delivered it after a long delay with the packaging severely damaged. Apex offered to replace the desktop, but the damage was minor enough that I chose to keep it. I was impressed at how they handled the situation.- I like the desk so much that I ordered a second one (71" black) two months ago, for my wife. It came without issues and when the I saw the original undamaged packaging, it made it obvious how badly Fedex had mishandled the first desktop.- The desk is easy to assemble. It is best to have 2 people to complete a couple of the steps."

Update: I’ve been using this desk for over 2 years and I have no complaints…

Update: I’ve been using this desk for over 2 years and I have no complaints at all. I love this desk and it saves my back, daily! Only thing I would do differently now, is I would have stuck with the non-contoured desk because I would have more options for monitor arms. The edge of the contoured desk is contoured (not level) on the edges, on the underside, and therefore I have to use Uplift brand for all desk accessories, and have to check with Uplift to confirm it will work with the contoured desk before purchasing. Most things from Uplift are compatible, and also of excellent quality, so that’s the good part. I started a new work from home position recently and have recommended this desk to multiple coworkers recently. My sister purchased one right after I first bought mine, on my recommendation, and I know she’s still very pleased with hers. I also want to mention that coasters are not needed when using this desk. You can put a hot coffee mug, or a cold cup with lots of condensation on it, and it will not damage the surface. I have noticed that the slight texture on the surface of this desk has become very smooth under where my wrist goes when I’m using my mouse but you can only tell by touching it. You cannot see the difference with your eyes. Love, love, love this desk!! The accessories I’ve purchased are as follows: I have the wire management, the additional desktop outlets, and dual monitor arms, all by this brand, and love all of them.Previous review that I still stand by 100%:This desk is AMAZING!! I'm almost 50 and have had a herniated disk since I was 35, in my low back, which causes sciatica. I've been in a desk job for the past 8 years and it isn't fun for my back, to say the least. I've never been able to afford a good standing desk, because the ones that have had good ratings and dual motor options, in the past, were all over $1K, with no extra features (which are needed in my world). I know a lot of people complain about having to pay extra for the extras (such as the cord management and the powered grommets) , but all of these standing desk companies charge extra for each of the extras. I've had this desk for 2 weeks, use it every day for 8-9 hours, and am impressed every minute! It's super stable and moves smoothly (my skittish cat doesn't even wake up when he's sleeping on it when moving it up or down). I'm 5'8" and it goes almost all the way above my head, which made plugging everything in so easy and comfortable! I'm working from home due to Covid-19, but when I go back to the office, I'm praying they will let me bring this desk. Either way, I'll be able to move around while I'm working at home and doing my personal desk work, now and in the future. My back, sciatic nerve and rear-end are so much happier!!The "extras"/add-ons are pretty good. I'll review them on their own product pages, but I'm NOT sorry I purchased them. They aren't perfect but the serve their purposes well, and with a little creativity, all the issues can be solved. The "extras" are also affordable.The desk top is very pretty and doesn't seem to have any issues with cups leaving rings on it, although I've been trying to use coasters, just in case. It's roomy enough to fit all of my excessive computer peripherals that are required for my job, which is spectacular (got the 60").Assembly was shockingly easy, considering it was me and my 81 year old mother (best friend) putting it together. I think it took us about an hour. The pieces are HEAVY (for us weaklings). The instructions were difficult to find, as they were between the cardboard box and the styrofoam, on the bottom side of one of the boxes. Before we found them, we were able to find a PDF online for the assembly instructions by googling "Apex Elite Assembly," which was very helpful.My desk arrived in perfect condition and with all of the needed parts. Thank you Apex!! :-)

I purchased the ApexDesk Elite Series 71" Standing desk with Electric Height Adjustment and Memory…

I purchased the ApexDesk Elite Series 71" Standing desk with Electric Height Adjustment and Memory Controller, with the Red Apple Top and Black Frame. I work from home and was sitting all the time and have had back and neck problems, as I've been working on a computer for decades. I bought this so I could have better posture when working for hours, with less pain.The shipment came in 3 boxes as expected and all were in very good shape with no damage. Everything was packed very well and protected with hard styrofoam and plastic. I followed the instructions to verify I had all pieces before getting started, which I always do anyway, and had everything I needed.The instructions were mostly clear, but the diagrams in the instructions are too small and hard to verify that I had parts connected correctly, or had the correct screws. Even using reader glasses, I couldn't quite make out how some parts were supposed to be connected, but it wasn't that hard to figure out.I mostly installed it myself with the help of one other person to lift the frame and top when needed. It's easier to use two people and will save your back.The frame is very heavy duty and sturdy, and desk top is very good quality and sturdy. I chose the Red Apple Top as it matches my decor and goes well together.The company also sent me the cable management tray, even though I didn't order it. I wasn't sure I needed it, and was going to purchase later if needed. Well, it is needed to hide your cords, if you don't want the cords to be laying on the ground and hanging down. If they didn't send it to me, I would have ordered it. Now my cables are out of the way, and looks very professional, and very simple to install. In addition to the desk cords for raising and lowering, I was able to use for my other cables I well - network cable,monitor cables, etc.I completed the install and setup last night and started using the desk this morning. I love standing when working.This also has a memory height adjustment, which you can set, then press a button to raise / lower to a specific height. This is nice, as I don't have to play around if I like a certain or not. Press the button and it goes right where I want it. It has 4 different memory buttons.I'm also glad I got the large 71" desk. My older desk was a little smaller, and love the additional space. I have two large computer monitors, my laptop, a lamp, my wireless router, keyboard and mouse and a place to write on a notepad, and it's not cramped.I also did a lot of research on stand up desks before I bought this one. In fact, I did purchase a stand-up desk previously, the kind that sits on your desk, but it was way too heavy for my desk and I decided I didn't like that style. The helped me decided that I wanted a full computer desk.It's working great so far, and I love the sturdiness of the desk. It was a great purchase, and I should've done this a long time ago.

Thee Best Desk in all Class. First of All I like to thank the delivery…

Thee Best Desk in all Class. First of All I like to thank the delivery guy for his hard work in delivery my desk unharmed and in good condition. There were minor crushes in the box. The most important thing i look for is detail in each and every corner of the table top desk. It came packaged well, and protected well with thick foams. I found no scratch or tear in the product. One thing I like about the desk is that it is heavy and heavy means high quality and long lasting materials. I choose red cherry because it looks really nice. The setup took me about 40 minutes top to set up the legs and support beam. It was a nice process in learning how and what goes where. The two motors built into the legs works fine so far, and hope it last for more many years down the road. Most importantly it is really sturdy and stable, despite the amount of weight it can hold, 225lbs is unbelievable. I like they included the cable management tray which just adds more awesomeness to this desk. I like the fact the remote has 4 memory buttons and small led screen to show how low and how high it is at. I did not have any problem setting up this desk, and this is beautiful with plenty space to use. I have try highest height at 48" and while trying to lean against it, and still holds or did not budge, unless you are physically forcing yourself to move it, I have placed mine in carpets, regular carpets, not those very thin flat carpets, but carpets that you would see in apartments. It doesn't wobble at all unless you are trying. It is recommended for 2 people to carry it across rooms and to lift it up after you assemble the legs to the top. Customer services is excellent, they are nice and informative, I like that they included the tools needed to complete the setup. which you don't have to go dig through to find your tools. It came packaged well, the illustration is pretty straightforward, although i wish it was a bit more clearer, but it will take a while to study the pictures and what goes where. There are many great things to say about this apexdesk elite series, but i find any cons about this desk down the road, i be sure to come back and add anything i find. But overall, this is a great desk, you get what you pay for. Looking forward to working while standing up in my office and lower it back down while gaming or personal use. Definitely recommend for those who likes to work but wants to stand up while working on a computer or while you working on the desk. This is a heavy desk and built to last long, i hope the motors will endure and last a life time through continuous uses. Into Conclusion, it is expensive, but if you can benefit from using it down the road, then it will pay off. Great product, it functions as it should.

I purchased this desk a year ago, and thought it was time for me to…

I purchased this desk a year ago, and thought it was time for me to write a review.If I had to provide a tl;dr It would be that it's a solid product, and I think this product will last for a long time. I am not worried about the desk breaking - you'd probably have to try and run it over with a car if you wanted to even damage it.Everything about this desk screams heavy duty. You might be wondering "oh, this desk has a MDF/particleboard desktop, is that REALLY sturdy?" and let me assure you - it is sturdy.Some of the boards I've run across on some of other desks I used in the past gave me this extremely hollow feeling when I knocked on it. It is absolutely NOT the case with this one. The desktop is weighty, dense, and has a quality feel to it. Knocking on the desktop gives me a solid, satisfying thud.Even though I purchased and assembled this a year ago, I still remember how relatively easy it was to assemble this desk. However, I also remember that at one point I wasn't paying attention to the assembly steps and accidentally screwed in the feet to the column in the wrong orientation. Fortunately, fixing this was quick and easy.If you have the manual handy, the mistake I made has to do with the instructions on page 6 - essentially my mind blanked out when I was assembling the two legs and I just assembled both legs in the exact way as shown in the picture, and ended up with two right legs, instead of one left leg and one right leg. Just don't make the same mistake I did!71 inch model is probably almost too big for my apartment, but that's not really something to complain about considering how many gadgets I like to play with.If I had to write a complaint about this product, the only complaint is that I'm not a fan of beveled edges. If you go through the Q&A and some of the reviews, you'll also notice people expressing the same disappointment.The beveled edge on this desk makes it difficult for anyone to use mounts that clamp on to the desk. If the clamp mount isn't deep enough, it'll end up clamping the bevel, and that might result in an unstable mount. I really think ApexDesk should reconsider the design, or at least provide a way for users to flatten the bevel - perhaps a piece of angled wood that the user can affix to the beveled edge. I knew about the beveled edges when I purchased this, so I'm not dinging them for this - I just wish the design was improved.I did reach out to ApexDesk about this, and they were willing to send me a metal plate that I could put on the bottom of the desk to partially stabilize the mount. However, I'm still disappointed that a large oversight like this happened, given the popularity of clamp mounts. ApexDesk also informed me that they sold monitor mounts with deep clamps, but they were not the type of monitor mounts that I was interested in. If this is an issue for you - you can either take a look at the monitor mounts ApexDesk offers, or purchase a monitor reinforcement bracket. Both of them are available on Amazon.To sum up - I think this is a quality product that will last a while. Even if the motors fail outside of the 2 year warranty - I still can see myself just using the desk without the adjustable part. I'm really hoping it doesn't fail though! This is a solid desk at a very decent price point. There's a lot of options out there, but I'm glad I went with this desk.

UPDATE: After a year of using this desk, everything below still holds true and it is working perfectly!I ordered this desk back in January and have been waiting to write a review until I've felt I've experienced its pros and cons well enough to have a more objective view than just the initial "omg it's awesome" kind of review. However, it's pretty darn awesome!Here's the TLDR; quick overview:Pros- Very sturdy- Lots of desktop space- Relatively quiet movement- Programmable positions for multiple uses- Great customer serviceCons- Contoured edge won't allow c-clamp mountsNow for the full review...This desk came in multiple packages. Moving those into the room to be assembled wasn't too bad and as they weren't overly heavy. Getting it assembled was not terrible, however it does seem that you need at least one other person for the "flip over" step once the legs are attached to the desktop.The desktop is SOOOOOO big and lets me put anything I need on it. Literally, I have two ultrawide monitors + a laptop, keyboard, oversized mousepad.... you get it. It's huge. That was the biggest thing for me on this since I have so much hardware to fit on one desk and you can't really get better than this (71" version is what I got).The movement up and down seems very stable and there is VERY little wobble. Like I see my screens shake when I type is all but I'm also a keyboard smasher so your mileage might be different. Here's where it got a little dicey. The electronics controller went out on me after 2 weeks. I contacted the company feeling defeated, but they sent out a whole new legs + controller package that got here in a few days. I replaced the legs, opting to keep all of my hardware on top to make it ultra hard on myself (I don't recommend that btw). Once those were replaced, it worked again and has been for a couple of months now, so I chalk that up to the inevitable manufacturing defect and was easily rectified.Now for my main gripe about this desk. The edge is beveled, meaning it angles inward on the bottom side. Now that LOOKS cool, but it is the single biggest issue for me. This means that anything with a C-clamp will not attach to this desk (mic boom arm, monitor mount, etc.). I have yet to figure out a good way to combat this but I am still thinking/looking for solutions. I may resign to adding another grommet for the monitor mounts and/or screwing straight brackets to the underside to allow clamping. I will update this review if I ever figure that out. (UPDATE: The monitor arm c-clamp was big enough with an added piece of plywood for more surface area pressure. I ended up getting a weighted desk stand for my microphone.)The company also included the cable management tray (for free for my review of it. I still paid full price for the rest of the desk). This tray is very handy to have. You could probably come up with other cable management solutions, but honestly this tray is probably the best solution since it tidies up the cables while still allowing a small amount of sliding when the desk goes up and down. I would actually recommend this upgrade as well if you have the extra $30 (I think that's the normal price) laying around.All in all, this desk is great. If you don't use c-clamps, this is a no brainer and you should definitely get it! If you use c-clamps, take that into consideration and maybe think about how you could do without, because I still highly recommend this for its size and quality!
