Vari Classic Electric Standing Desk 60x30, Reclaimed Wood/Slate

Pros

  • +Lifetime warranty to the original purchaser, naming surfaces, hardware, motors and electrical components
  • +A 25 inch to 50 1/2 inch height range, the widest of these four desks at both ends
  • +Three-tier legs and a 1 1/4 inch desktop, with four programmable memory settings on the controller
  • +Vari states the desk assembles in minutes with the included tools, which no rival here claims
  • +Seven top and base finish combinations sold direct, including Reclaimed Wood over Slate

Cons

  • The 200 lb rating is the lowest of these four desks, at the second-highest price
  • The warranty is non-transferable, so it carries no value if you resell the desk
  • Independent coverage of Vari's current electric line is thin; Work While Walking reviews only the older ProDesk
  • Configuration choice is far narrower than UPLIFT's, at seven combinations versus 21 desktop options
