  • Solar powered operations: Our Austin facilities produce over a megawatt of electricity through roof-mounted solar panels on three large warehouses

  • Bamboo Desktops, Drawers, & Motion Boards: The world's fastest-growing plant, Moso bamboo is a grass that grows as quickly as an inch an hour

  • Eco Curve Desktops: Eco Curve desktops use 100% recycled MDF and have the lowest carbon footprint in the industry due to not using edgebanding, backer boards, adhesives, or solvents

About UPLIFT Desk

"Our mission at UPLIFT Desk is simple: We're here to provide the best selection of beautiful, functional, sustainable, and affordable standing desks and ergonomic office furniture. We help you work better and live healthier."

– Jon Paulsen, MS. CPE

UPLIFT Desk Founder & CEO

We continuously add new products and improve existing designs. We focus on desk customization options selectable in our online desk configurator. It's why we're Wirecutter's standing desk pick five years running (2019-2024).

We believe that office furniture should be guaranteed for a minimum of 15 years. The short lifespan of "fast" furniture is not sustainable and isn't good for the planet. Plain and simple: it's not what we do. UPLIFT Desk products are designed and built to last, and our customer support and warranty teams are eager to help make sure that happens.

As both the manufacturer and the retailer, our direct-to-consumer approach eliminates middleman dealers that add cost and can complicate or delay orders, warranty, and customer support needs.

We deliver the office furniture to homes and offices across the country, typically with free shipping. Businesses love our complimentary professional space planning services. And we love helping you work better and live healthier.
