EffyDesk reviews state the brand works: desks are solidly built, quiet, and smooth, but occasional manufacturing or component failures and inconsistent instructions create friction. Reviews praise sturdy construction and quiet motors yet note weak points in chair armrests, squeaks, small cable trays, and occasional tilted or malfunctioning desk parts — useful if you prioritize durable desks with strong motors but want to accept possible setup hassles and rare part failures.

  • Thank you for my desk! I love it. I spent a lot of time researching different brands and companies, and I'm glad I finally pulled the trigger with you guys. I love my setup so far, stilling working on it! The desk itself is great quality. Strong, sturdy, quiet when transforming heights, and really pretty to look at. We wanted the wood desk because living in. A condo you don’t always have room for desks to be tucked away, so ours had to be nice enough to be in our living area. Effydesk meets those requirements without a doubt. I only removed 1 star because of the experience I had from the courier, glad effydesk has great customer service and assured to me that my order will arrive safely.

  • Just assembled my new medium walnut desk. Beautifully built desk and colour. Still working on the setup, but seems very sturdy and has no issues lifting various weights and configurations. Definitely a high quality desk. Just had a slight issue with the cable tray, its kinda small. I think it would be better if its a bit wider and longer but overall im happy with the purchase.

  • Avoid. Purchased two products (chair and desk) in May and still waiting for it to arrive. Desk frame arrived then after repeated requests the chair arrived and have many more repeated requests the desk top is missing. No sense of urgency. Epic fail in delivery. Website says high quality products but doesn't mention high quality service. I can see why.

  • Seems great so far. This desk is a size medium 59" × 29" business desk (comes with cord management tray), in the color WHITE and OAK WOOD. The desk was straightforward to assemble. It feels very sturdy. Does not shake at all while using, and the tabletop feels solid. It goes up and down quietly and quickly. Settings go impressively low and high. I don't recommend accidentally stepping on the spiky metal cable tray by accident, the bottom of my foot may never be the same. Like stepping on 10 legos. I wish there was a way to hide cords within the leg of the desk, or through the metal supports underneath. Also, the metal piece that comes up through the desk for cords is not actually attached to the desk so it pops out when i am running a cord through it which is annoying. Overall works fine. I haven't set up my cables yet as I need a longer extension cord. Would definitely recommend following the advice of the youtube instructions rather than the printout it comes with when it comes to the installation of the cable management tray: install the tray closer to the back (behind the central supports) - my knees actually hit the tray (see youtube video for the best location). I will need to disassemble the desk now to move it farther back because I followed the instructions that come with the desk which are different than those on youtube, which is a bit frustrating but alas. I used the random matching piece of wood that was in the shipping box to put inside my cord management tray to further hide the cords. (haven't really set this up yet).

  • The Effydesk medium sized desk is a great choice for anyone who needs a sturdy and reliable desk that can be easily moved around on wheels (which are a separate option). It's simple to adjust the desk’s position as needed and the extra height from the casters allows me to fit storage underneath it at the lowest height setting. If I was going to offer any suggestions for improvement it would only be perhaps a white option for the control box and cord. Nonetheless, I'm absolutely thrilled with my Effydesk.

  • Very delighted with the quality construction of this desk. I bought a large size desk. This is white base with white grey marble pattern top. Love the cable management tray and all of the working space. The desk goes up and down so smooth and quiet. I am 5’3” and this desk goes nice and low for sitting. I am mostly standing all day now though. My husband is 6’3” and the height works for him too. He helped me assemble the desk. It had a couple of not super clear steps but we used logic and got through it. I wanted to make sure the cable management tray was at the back so I would not bang my knees. It’s way back so no issues there. This is the business desk. For the small bump in price I highly recommend getting this one. It has upgrades that are worth every penny and more. It goes lower, has upgrades to the base and other things I can’t recall.

  • The Electric Desk is sturdy and man it's easy to move up and down and also the legs, they roll easy not like other tables that the legs are challenging to roll. Love it. Slightly expensive but yeah, still would get it. I thought these kind of desk are most likely for aesthetics only but seriously I was wrong, this is a game changer.

  • The online buying experience was great. The customer team helped me along the way in picking what I needed for my office and the delivery was quick. Received the product and it was easy to build and everything felt like it was great quality.

  • not only the best desk but a really great customer service team as well. Installation of the desk was easy and fast, you can really see the quality of the build. Customer service team was super helpful when I was deciding which desk to get and delivery was so much faster than other places. I use the standing feature of the desk everyday and I've never had any issues. I also love their chairs since they are so easy to adjust to fit my body type and help support me where I need it most.

    Effydesk has a lot of options so make sure you measure your space so you get the right one. This has been one of the best purchases I've made as I sit at my desk all day and this prevents me from fatigue and helps with my posture and concentration. The chairs are great options as well and super easy to set up.

  • I had a few questions about my the standing desk before placing my order and the customer service team were super helpful in answering them. The desk arrived really fast and it was well packaged so there was no damage - super impressed!

    Purchased an EFFY desk once I started working from home and I can’t say enough good things about my standing desk! Building the desk was super easy and I love that the transition between sitting and standing heights is also so smooth. The desk is solid and feels really good quality. If you’re thinking about getting the standing desk, I’d highly recommend it!
