UPLIFT Desk is an Austin company founded in 2002 by ergonomist Jon Paulsen, making standing desks, chairs and ergonomic accessories. Its desks are highly customizable.
Jon Paulsen, a mechanical engineer and Certified Professional Ergonomist, started UPLIFT Desk in 2002 because he couldn't find a quality standing desk at a fair price. The Austin company opened its first showroom there in 2011 and now backs its desks with a 15-year warranty; Wirecutter has named UPLIFT its top standing-desk pick in consecutive years since 2018. The V3 4-Leg, starting at $959, puts a motor in each of four legs for a 535 lb lifting capacity, which makes it the frame for multi-monitor rigs, studio gear and wide desktops. Same-day shipping options, free accessories and free 30-day returns round out the purchase.
