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.
85% of 149 verified owners recommend the Fully Jarvis Standing Desk.

“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)”

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

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

Honestamente, paguei bastante e não lhe dou o uso que achei que ia dar.”

“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.”
