Maximum Weight Capacity 176 lbs.

Without a top, the maximum weight capacity is 176 lbs. And this frame is supposed to be dual motor? Something is very wrong here.

Got this last year for $30 more. Well worth it. I bought an 90" ikea countertop to put on this. Even though both together cost me over $500 it beats any ready made standing desk on the market

I've seen people use the ikea ones and those filing cabinets lately. Same blocks? Would it need any kind of treatment? Just screw it in?
Yes, screw it in.

Aren't those butcher blocks heavier than that?

how thick of a top do you need for this? I have a L-shaped idea desk from several years ago, would like to use it (nothing heaving on the extension part of course)

I have a 72" x 30" solid dark rubber wood predrilled Uplift table top that I ended up with as an extra for my desk build that I did last year when it became clear that WFH wasn't going anywhere, had it on my list to get another standing desk frame to be able to use this. I figured I would just pick up another Uplift frame in the near future now that I am ready for the next desk.

When this popped up... $199 sounded like a decent price for a double motor frame... but yeah that weight limit bothered me a bit, will have to be careful I guess with how I load it. That said, I checked uplift when this was first posted for a price comparison... their standard desk frame is now $600!!! I assume it is a bit heftier, but not worth 3 times the money?? After seeing that, and recalling the last SD for a decent one of these went quick... I jumped.

Now time to see if this predrilled Uplift top will line up or if I have to drill more holes (nbd, but I don't want to put more holes into a $600+ desktop if I don't have to), see if this 176lb rating is just playing it safe or if that is the real limit before bad things happen or what.

I got this from the last deal at Target and have three monitors, laptop, laptop dock, and random other shit along with a decently heavy table top and this thing has never buckled or had issues.

A 6ft long butcher block is 50-60lbs.

I'd predrill the holes so you don't split the wood. Just don't go all the way through as your bit is way longer than the screws. Put a piece of tape on the bit so you know where to stop

I am just one person with an individual experience but I have owned two and both died on me on month 13 with standard usage (loaded with a hlver Ikea top and about 25lbs of stuff). I gave up after the second and purchased one with a longer warranty. More expensive but hopefully I get more than a year out of it. If a part fails out of warranty monoprice will tell you to kick rocks vs offer to sell a part.

Thanks for sharing. That 1 yr warranty gave me pause.

Regarding the screw holes lining up on the Uplift top: I am using this frame with an Uplift bamboo top I got off Buy Nothing (cosmetic damage in shipping but Uplift replaced and told the purchaser not to bother sending the damaged one back). Screw holes do not line up perfectly so I lined up one hole and predrilled the rest. The height control module also does not line up at all. If you don't mind drilling new holes, this frame works like a charm.

I think the desktop is 60" if that matters. I forget what the weight limit is but this is a hefty top and the frame lifts/lowers like a champ.
