Value vs Performance - Which Desk is Best for Me?

Value vs Performance - Which Desk is Best for Me?

For most people, our two-leg Pro desk frame will be plenty.

If you have lots of heavy equipment and / or want to reduce all wobble as much as possible, our 4-leg Elite is the desk frame for you.

And of course, in either case, you should opt for the pull-up bar model (it’s not weird we promise!)

If you’re looking for any specifications or details beyond that, head to the product page.

And if you’re curious about our design choices, read on!

We have spent a lot of time around standing desks since we first introduced the Topo Mat in 2015, and we have seen the market EXPLODE with options.

It’s great that there are so many new choices for consumers. Unfortunately, a lot of them are pretty crappy.

The worst (and cheapest) desks, often have a split top (to save on shipping costs). This massively reduces the stiffness of the desk and results in a very unstable experience. It also puts a big unsightly and uneven seam right in the middle of your work surface.

So you should really be getting a one-piece top. 

After that, we believe any single-motor desk is a bad choice. You’re just not saving much money relative to a far superior dual-motor desk. And you’re increasing complexity while sacrificing speed, responsiveness, and reliability.

From our perspective, a true standing desk needs a one-piece top and two motors. 

And for most people, that’s all you need!

This is where the Fully Jarvis and Uplift v2 excelled for years. But they are both way overpriced now. 

That said, you can spend a lot more on a desk than that. If you’re buying a desk as a big luxury splurge, there are lots of companies that will take your money. But we think that money is best spent on the stuff you actually touch and interact with! Your desk frame should just work in the background without a second thought.

So that’s where we aimed, and we’re very happy with the result.

Our desk frames represent the perfect balance of performance, reliability, and value. Plus, they look great!

And then we focus on delivering huge value in the way that you interact with the desk, the smart automated moves made possible with our Tempo technology.

Because what really matters with a standing desk, is how much you actually use it to stand!

The Ergodriven Tempo Desk - reliable performance at a great value, made massively more effective with Tempo technology.
