Often, this takes dozens-sometimes even hundreds-of hours. We also invite you to fact-check our pieces, which carefully outline the time, logic, and energy spent researching, interviewing experts, and testing the gear.
If we were to recommend something because we are biased or lazy, readers like you wouldn’t support our work. The most important thing to us is the trust we have from readers. We think that’s a pretty fair system that keeps us committed to serving our readers first.
There’s no incentive for us to pick inferior products or respond to pressure from manufacturers-in fact, it’s quite the opposite. If readers return their purchases because they’re dissatisfied or the recommendation is bad, we make nothing. If readers choose to buy the products we recommend as a result of our research, analysis, interviews, and testing, our work is often (but not always) supported through an affiliate commission from the _retailer_ when they make a purchase. Up front: Our writers and editors are never made aware of which companies may have established affiliate relationships with our business team prior to making their picks. "Do your affiliate commissions make you biased? BTOD produces good reviews on YouTube and their site but keep in mind they create the VertDesk.įWIW, Wirecutter (and sister site Sweethome) were purchased by NYTimes in 2016. Personally, I only want a standing desk so I can adjust to a good height for my chair, so I would never use it to stand at 5' for hours at a time. The wobble at high heights for the ones above ^ exists but is in practice not really an issue (at like the maximum height where your arms would be at an uncomfortable position then). Xdesk is personally too expensive for something I would go to Herman Miller or Steelcase for a similarly priced desk. Jarvis and UPLIFT are similarly priced but UPLIFT's bamboo table is thicker. Fully (Jarvis), UPLIFT, VertDesk are all good. Just get whatever is the cheapest from a common brand. Most use Chinese motors but they're not really an issue. Powdercoat feels EXTREMELY nice, but it's made of compacted shards so not really lasting. In terms of durability: laminate > bamboo > powdercoat. I only know this fiasco because I spent hours looking for a standing desk yesterday. This happened in 2014, why the hell is this being brought up now? It should be noted that NextDesk changed their name to Xdesk after this debacle years ago.Īlso NOT published and considered in this flame throwing is Wirecutter's response.
