Vari Essential Electric Standing Desk for Home Office 48x24 - White Black

This is my first dabble into standing desks. My biggest fear was the bad tolerances you often find on cheap furniture, making assembly a big pain. Well if you're at all worried about the assembly of this product; don't worry, it's SUPER EASY. The guide was prefect, and all holes/bolts lined up. They also labeled each bag of hardware with the bolt type, making it easy to ensure the proper hardware is selected. Lastly the hex wrenches included were not the typical cheapies found in most knock down furniture, but rather nicer ones that I will actually keep in my tool kit. The process took me 30 minutes and I was going slow and careful The desk itself is nice, just be sure that you want smaller desk. In my mind small desk=less clutter, and it works fine for the 27 inch monitor with wireless kb/mouse. We keep the tower down low on the floor and had to make sure there was adequate length in the monitor cable and monitor power supply. The motor is quick and quiet and seems like a quality unit. I'll check back in a year to report on durability. Read more

My wife works from home and wanted an adjustable desk. I remember Vari being one of the pioneers in the adjustable desks and the reviews sounded promising. The desk was packaged exceptionally well. It was extremely simple to assemble and the parts are simple and very sturdy! The desk looks great, is functional and is just designed really well. I highly recommend. Read more

This is my 4th Vari electric desk. I use them in my workshop for my knitting machines, so I can sit or stand while working. Twice I tried to buy a cheaper brand on Amazon, and both times regretted it. One was so bad that I went through the trouble of packing it and sending it back, the other one I use sparingly with my lightest machine. After that, I'm sticking with Vari. They might be a bit more expensive, but the quality is outstanding. You can see it right as you open the package, which is very thoughtfully designed. And the assembly is so easy, with excellent clear directions. It's worth the extra $$ if only to save you the frustration while assembling! Read more

I got this on significant sale, and at that price it was mostly worth it. I opted for this brand because I wanted a reputable company with a presence in the US in case I needed replacement parts down the road. The frame is well built and uses a much thicker gauge of metal than many of the other options on Amazon (look closely at pictures...the difference is significant). The quality of the welds is decent, but some places are spot welded, and I would have liked to have seen a little longer of a bead. Fit and finish of the frame is good, and the powder coating is nice. On the more critical side, the top is pretty poor. It looks very fake to me, and the split design is not great. It's totally functional, and I'm sure many folks will be fine with it. As a former woodworker, I'll totally admit to being a solid wood snob, but even relative to other laminate products I found it too be pretty underwhelming. I bought a solid wood top to replace it, and am much happier with that. The electronics and lift mechanism on this are also pretty basic (but totally functional). The table wobbles a little as it's going up and down, but thats likely just a quirk of the single motor design. In summary, I'm overall happy with the desk after replacing the top, especially since I got it on sale. There may be better options, but I was getting frustrated with all the off brand options. As long as you keep your expectations in check, this could be a great desk for you. Read more

My son actually put this together, it took exactly 30 mins from opening package until I was trying it out. I have a horrible back, this desk adjusts so easily, simply push the button. In writing this review I adjusted the desk height four times. I started a spasm I lifted desktop, needed to sit for a minute, I lowered to the chair height I needed. Simply push a button. i also preset height for my chair and normal standing. I push the number 1 and it rose to my preselected height. I would recommend it with no reservations. (I rarely write reviews; this product deserved my review) Purchase and feel good while you work!! Read more
