I did A LOT of research to find the best standing desk out there for my team. I looked at about 16 different desks before deciding on the VertDesk. I read the wirecutter review that rated other desks better, but the VertDesk had consistent satisfied customer ratings. The big plus is that it has the stabilizing crossbar that keeps it from wobbling when it is at the fully extended height. I also liked how transparent the company was with their history in sourcing the materials. You can tell when you build the desks that they are made from quality materials. There were a couple of headaches though: 1) the shipping/unloading experience was stressful (but that was due to the shipping company, not BTOD themselves) and that there was an issue with the hex rods hitting the U-channel. BTOD has great customer service though and promptly sent spacer washers to correct the issue. Our team is absolutely thrilled with these desks. They look sleek and help our employees feel better as they work.
