“I'm thrilled with my Standing Desk - it looks great, runs smoothly and quietly and was relatively straightforward to put together. Conrad was enormously responsive and helpful with regular updates on delivery through to immediate assistance with a technical query once the desk arrived. I highly recommend this company and this product.”
“I decided to leave a review after using this for a few months (bought two).
The desk itself is great. I love the high quality look and feel of the entire thing. There was a mishap with the shipping of materials, but overall communication was good.
However, buyers need to keep in mind of some things.
1. Wireless charging is will not work as you might expect. This was the biggest reason I bought the desk from here, but it's been very disappointing. It is completely unusable if you have any kind of case on your phone, regardless of thickness or material (leather, rubber, silicone, plastic), even if the website shows that it's working. The hole you place the wireless charger is simply too thick to penetrate the desk. This meant that I need to take my phone out of the case every time I want to use it, which is too much of a hassle to bother. I have tried multiple different phone models and this was the case for all of them. The wireless charger doesn't really stick well, so you'll see it pop off the desk after a week. They've sent me a a newer, bigger, replacement charger but it still doesn't work as well as I would have hoped. This was a pain to replace, because it practically required unscrewing everything.
2. The CPU holder... doesn't feel compatible. It doesn't look like it was made for the frame of the desk, and more like a tacked on accessory. It doesn't have any threaded screwhole, nor any bolt. I had to twist extremely hard to force it in; I could see the screws already digging into the metal frame just to fit it in somehow. The screws being tiny and barely fitting meant I was always worried if it can hold my 15-20kg CPU, so I had to place something at its feet to catch it in case something bad happens.
3. I think it would be better if the instructions were updated to have the user install the cable holder closer to the middle. The cable holder is too close to the side that it doesn't leave any room for any standard monitor arm to be installed, unless you install those farther to the sides. Not a big problem for larger desks, but potentially a big problem for the small ones. I kept this in mind when assembling the second desk and it worked well.
4. You *need* a drill to screw stuff in. This is not a negative about the product, but something people need to be aware of.
Easy five stars for anyone who doesn't use phone cases/wireless charging, and for anyone not using the CPU holder.”
“Really happy with the desk, packaging and shipping. I had one small issue and the response from the team was super fast, rectifying my problem within 2 business days. Seriously a fantastic kiwi outfit, and you wont be disappointed with the desk!”
“After renovating our home office, we wanted to purchase a good quality and aesthetically pleasing desk. I had wanted a stand-up desk for a while, but they always looked too basic or had office/sterile vibes. When I came across stand up desk, I instantly liked the look and being able to mismatch the top and legs. We ordered one and the communication from then on was great, with the product turning up when they said it would. It’s very well packaged to survive transit, and putting together is really easy watching the video. The desk is incredibly solid, and caters for my height (6”7). I would recommend to anyone to invest and get a excellently designed and incredibly sturdy (even when full height) desk. Built in wireless charging and the cable management tray are excellent features.”
“Communications with Stand desk were amazing from ordering, delivery updates, and even when I had questions about assembly. The desk itself is high quality.”
“I compared some stand desk options and chose this one attracted to the solid bamboo top and the cable management tray.
We are not good at assembling furniture but the video instruction was great. Although it took nearly 2 hours, we made it! Conrad has been helpful and nice to deal with.
Desk is fantastic, exactly as I hoped. Love the wireless phone charger, too, which originally I thought not so important but it is quite handy.”
