Fully Jarvis Standing Desk

Scored on 147 verified owner verdicts, from 977 comments read across 4 communities
TL;DR
Owners overwhelmingly call the Fully Jarvis sturdy, well-built, and a strong value, with many praising years of trouble-free use, smooth adjustment, and a wide range of top and frame options. The most common complaint is some wobble or rock at full standing height, which most consider minor during normal use. A smaller number report real problems, units shipped damaged or with a buzzing leg, loose internal boards or excess caulk, and grease residue on the columns, alongside lingering uncertainty about support since the Herman Miller acquisition.

86% of 147 verified owners recommend the Fully Jarvis Standing Desk, based on real owner verdicts aggregated from Reddit, enthusiast forums, and YouTube.

Overall beautifully made, strong and very sturdy packaging with excellent labeling.

so I bought a Fully Jarvis (because it was cheaper). And then I returned it, because they were absolutely right.

For your specific concern about wobbling at standing while typing, I did not experience this for the Fully Jarvis

Reddit— neutral

it never feels 100% stable, I've had that before with desks that have those sorts of legs and it just has a tiny tiny wobble if I'm typing too aggressively.

YouTube▲ recommend

I have zero complaints about the Jarvis+Karlby combo

YouTube▼ don’t recommend

I do not like them and regret it

Reddit— neutral

It's a decent desk but it's not anything where I've felt the product was superior to everyone else's standing desk, yet they are pricing it that way now.

I've got two Fully Jarvis standing desks, girlfriend got hers first and I fell in love and got one too, they can support a tonne of weight and the bamboo top is nice and modern. I've got two lg monitors plus my laptop and theres no shaking (maybe a tiny bit when its at maximum height)

I have a fully Jarvis one but the top is a bit wobbly, it might be from the weight of my monitors but not sure

I’ve assembled [5 Fully Jarvis desks](https://kicksodd.xyz/best-standing-desks-in-2022/) and they’ve been in use for 2-5 years now with no problems with any. I don’t have experience with other brands but definitely recommend it.

My Fully Jarvis actually vibrates and the monitor shakes when I type or move the mouse...

I have an NI s88mk2 mounted under a Fully Jarvis 72” standing desk. The sliding keyboard tray I got off Reverb. Has heavy duty slides and a metal support under it to keep it from flexing. Works well but can get bouncy when in standing position.

Reddit— neutral

my desk has a pretty thin surface, if id change anything, id change that. The base is pretty sturdy though!

Reddit▲ recommend

I like the standing desk. I find a good pattern for me is to take meetings standing and do focus work seated.

Most important feature I miss after owning a Fully Jarvis standing desk is, the lowest height is high for me with 5”1 height. I wish it could go 10 inches more lower so people of shorter height could use it comfortably. I am thinking to replace table because of this issue.

Bought a Jarvis about 4 years ago and I still love it!

In sitting mode there is miniscule wobble, much better than my fully jarvis+32" 16:9 at home. At standing level there's more wobble but not too much/as much as the jarvis.

Reddit— neutral

6’3 and have a Fully Jarvis L shape standing desk, at the very max height it’ll get more unstable though

Reddit▲ recommend

I have a Fully Jarvis desk, and I like it a lot. The ability to switch between sitting and standing is great.

Reddit— neutral

The Fully Jarvis standing desk definitely has some side to side sway in the normal two-leg models. Front to back is minimal. If you want to eliminate all sway go with a three-leg model.

Andei a ver reviews e assim e na altura optei pela Fully Jarvis (era uma surbmarca da Herman Miller. Já fechou a loja). Honestamente, paguei bastante e não lhe dou o uso que achei que ia dar.

The Jarvis is the worst desk I ever had and made me think never to buy a C desk again. Wobbly and just dove a couple of centimetres when leaning on it.

Reddit▲ recommend

love mine. I put a custom butcher block top on mine, but the stock top selection is great.

Reddit▲ recommend

Holds 3 32” curved screens and has no problem lifting them.

Redditⓘ good to know

I recently ordered a Fully Jarvis for myself. The price was a bit cheaper than the Solo Ryzer, but there was a $150 shipping charge and it took over a week to arrive.

Redditⓘ good to know

The desk is level, stable, and everything tightened down. The issue is the front/back flex inherent to all standing desks with 2 legs.

Redditⓘ good to know

that I've had it for a while though, I actually prefer it over the Fully Jarvis - might swap my desk at home for this one.

it goes up higher than I would need it standing up
