Terra Standing Desk

J’aime beaucoup mon nouveau bureau. Le bois est beau et le bureau a l’air très robuste. C’était assez facile à installer, mais c’est très lourd alors c’est nécéssaire d’être 2

Excellent quality. Beautiful. Built to last.

Love my pheasantwood solid wood adjustable desk. Arrived without any scratches, dents or dings. Awesome warranty and high quality product to enjoy for many years to come. Cheaper than the competition and supports Canadian business. If you’re on the fence about pulling the trigger, just do it, you won’t have a single regret.

Really love the desk!

By far the best part of my home workspace (if not the most beautiful piece furniture I own). Purchased the small Pheasantwood Office (Wildwood) desk, plus the single monitor arm. A standing desk was recommendation by a medical doctor, but it was wonderful to find such a beautiful product by a Canadian company.

The perfect desk for a small office (or very small space). Transitions from/to sit-stand are incredibly smooth and very quiet. Standing & working at it extremely comfortable (though standing more often than normal takes some getting used to!). The monitor arm (now dubbed “my airplane arm”) is brilliant and a must-have for easier transitions between heights.

My only suggestions for improvement would be: 1. A few less beeps to indicate the “stand reminder”. I love the reminder, but 5 beeps seems excessive as they are fairly loud. And 2. Rethink the location or direction the cable tray faces. The tray is indispensable and holds every charger/hub I need (except a power bar), but I always bang my knees on the edge of the cable tray when in sitting position and means I’ll likely switch it, facing to the back, if I purchase the wheels (meaning it won’t be under the control box for that extra safety measure).

Like other reviewers, the boxes were fairly mangled upon arrival. It was also raining the day it arrived so boxes were soaked through in some spots. Also didn’t receive the requested delivery receipt email from CanPar, so the boxes were in the rain longer than I’d like. Of course, none of that is EffyDesk’s fault and the packaging was so well thought out (although maybe not all environmentally wise) that surprisingly, there was no noticeable damage to the desk at all.

Instructions were confusing in terms of three things: 1. which crossbar faces which, to use the sliders for the control box properly (the written explanation was not as clear as it could be). So, assembly (disassembly-reassembly!) took longer than I hoped doing it alone (5 hrs). Like others, needed help to stand it up in a small space so as not to damage the table top as the desk is super heavy; 2. There were no instructions for setting up the in-desk keypad (only for the attachable one). So, no explanation as to what the extra cable coming from the in-desk keypad was meant to connect to. Nor was there anything about whether the grooves on the bottom of the desk were meant to fit the cable for the phone charger. Nor about whether the wire could go in the groove and fit between the desktop & the side bracket (Operation Guide is also only for the attachable key pad, though more or less the same with one less setting option); and 3. The cable management tray. Installation was bit confusing as to which crossbar was the best place to put the tray hangers.

Still, now that I know what I’m doing, I wouldn’t hesitate to purchase a second EffyDesk for the office for someone else in the family! It’s really such an incredible addition. Looking forward to standing a lot more. No more laptop on a pile of books! I could have used this desk 10 yrs ago!
