Grove Standing Desk

As an older person, I have had the opportunity to experience and work in the office, construction, design, and fabricating environments over the years. As a recent retired Technology Teacher, I decided to design and build a new den, computer, and standup desk. A place I can read, relax, design, research, admin, media, and game. I decided on a floating shelf, book cases, computer from scratch, and the main structural feature, a standing desk.
I did a lot of research on who I was going to use, for the standup desk frame, and ended up with EffyDesk as part of this project because of their top specs, operation, warranty, customer service, and also that I was able to get a very competitive price during one of their sales. As I purchased on sale, but was not able to receive it right away, EffyDesk was able to delay the shipping till I was ready to receive it.
The table size was determined by what the EffyDesk frame could handle, the three monitors, and the room size, as the table was going to be the main feature of this den. I bought two Acacia butcher blocks to make a L shaped desk. I had used doweling to glue together and a lot of router work for under table, edge LED lighting, space for 4 table top stiffeners to prevent any future warping, and a railing system for flight stick mounts. I also customized with 3 cut-outs for multiple power sources and 8 cable access points. Although they do provide a nice centre cable tray, I opted for my own cable tracks at the back and sides – two different sizes to keep cables clean and organized, as I have a lot of cables for power and control routing under the desk.
I have been using the table for over half a year now and I can tell you it is a great standing table system. It is simple to use with its controls, very strong with the three motors, dependable, and instructions were easy to follow when putting together, very easy do and follow. One thing I did differently than the instructions to make it even easier to put together, once I had it all put together upside down on my custom table with everything tightened down and screws into table, I just flipped the frame without the table top attached (unscrewed the table from the frame first), then I flipped the table top, as both were heavy individually, but a lot lighter than trying to flip both the table and frame at the same time. This way I was able to do it with a couple of light hands from my wife, rather than having to bother one of my strong neighbors.
Every day use, I normally use two positions at sitting and standing, although I will be adding a third in the 4-memory button controller for gaming with my flight sticks once I get them installed. The motors are really good as they take 10 seconds to change from sit to stand or vice versa and are relatively quiet as my wife barely hears it when in the next room. The materials and fasteners are of excellent quality, while the frame is heavy duty. I also purchased the cam wheels with locks that they also sell for easy moving and locking the table into position. Frame finish is a durable paint which I have not seen any chipping or issues. The motors have a slight ramp up in speed as it starts to move from one position to another, so no sudden jerking and manually “inching” it is also a smooth movement. There are absolutely no issues with rocking or shaking, as it feels as solid and stiff as a solid wooden legged table in both the sitting or standing position. In-fact giving the table a good bump only slightly transfers it to the monitors a little, which all three are supported by a Triple Monitor Stand.
All-in-all, a solid buy. It is not the cheapest, but for the money you spend you get a quality solid sit/stand table system that all together is amazing value for what you should be considering for a solid standing desk solution.

nice desk to fit my corner well and enough space to set my two big screens and laptop

Quite heavy and very well built, but still reasonably easy to assemble, all parts fit well and easy.

The actual table top looks and feels good.

Table moves up and down very seamlessly with no issues.

Very good stand-up desk, highly recommended.

I really love my new desk. Im happy how it looks and how it works. Its very quiet and I have a huge work surface.

Unfortunately the process to get it to work was not as smooth as I would have hoped. After the installation, everything worked for 30 minutes. Afterward one of the leg was stuck at the heighest position, while the 2 others at a sitting position. I contacted customer support but they were closed during the weekend. So I reassembled my old desk to be able to work on Monday. I told one of the agent that I was forced to disassemble since it was dangerous to have 2 different heights. I was told they could only help me if the desk was fully assembled. So I flipped the desk and reassembled for a 2nd time.
After chatting online with an agent I was told they would ship another leg. So I diassembled again waiting for that part. A week later it arrived and I reassembled for a 3rd time. Luckily that did the trick. I recommend you wait til your desk is fully assembled and functional before you sell your old one. I still recommend the product despite the misaps.

Customized my Effy Executive desk with a cedar top. Glides super smooth, is quiet, and sturdy!
