I bought this desk in 2022, and have used it nearly every day since. I purchased it for $170 at the time, and would again many times over. I stand and sit multiple times throughout most days, and this thing is as solid as the day I bought it. I made my own custom desktop and it was a smidge over the weight and size recommendations but I have not had a single issue.
I am a criminal over-researcher when it comes to purchases of things I will use a lot, and this standing desk decision was a huge one for me. Unless the QA has significantly dropped off in the last three years, I would absolutely recommend this to anyone - the promo code makes it even better. Three years ago, I remember reading this exact Amazon review of the product that really helped me make my decision, and rereading it now, I still agree with it all:
* * *
First and foremost, unless you have standing desk experience, you are going to be browsing all over Amazon trying to find a good budget standing desk frame. Well, I will solve your hunt and tell you this Topsky frame is awesome.
Since the list is lacking content, I'll go with Cons first since there are so few:
1.) The M6 button head bolts they provide you with are not black finished as one would expect with a black frame, they are standard silver zinc coated and of questionable quality - however they are more than sufficient to get the job done.
2.) The frame doesn't offer much in the means of cable management, but the outputs for both motors are between the center support rails. This means, unless you have some sort of provision for your top that has enough clearance for the cable, you will have to route the cable over (...under?) the center support rail and out to wherever the rest of your cabling will be.
3.) The extension cable is longer than the maximum length of the frame, and could be a tad shorter. In order to manage the extension, you'll have to roll it up and use a tie for the slack - and then mount that however you desire. Or just let all the cables hang free, your choice...
4.) The control module doesn't use the same size M6 bolts, but rather some wood screws that are much smaller. That's fine, however since that allows mounting into anything you desire. You won't be building this desk out of sheetrock.
5.) Desk wobble at extension (read: standing position) is going to be a thing, regardless of what desk frame you use - even Uplift/Autonomous frames will have wobble. You can minimize this by making sure your mounting provisions are tight, strong, and the overall weight of your top is heavy enough to provide stability.
6.) It's a T-frame not a C-frame.
That being said, I could make a list of pro's about this, but honestly just look at the 5 star rating this product has. I could go on a pretty long keyboard rampage telling you why I love my new frame. I'll sum it up and keep it short and sweet though.
The desk frame is awesome. It's sturdy, it's solid, but really needs to have different hardware and it would be beneficial overall to add additional mounting provisions. I think the wobble that it does have, is exacerbated by the lack of attachment points for this frame. One could easily drill an additional hole on each top mounting arm, and add another M6 bolt. I used a 74x30 butcher block countertop, so screws would have been quite cheesy after spending $360.00 on an island top (not including the materials for finish work, etc.). I used some M6x15mm threaded inserts, if you're using a solid wood top you will probably want to do this as well. I used a kit found here on Amazon that included a really crappy 9mm drill bit. The inserts are fine though.
The desk wobble that is most noticeable isn't side to side, but front to back - the legs could stand to be a little bit longer, and after making sure the feet are adjusted correctly to the floor and is solid, the wobble is still there. Lighter weight tops might not experience so much, YMMV.
The frame is quiet - not loud, and I experience no odd random noises. I have a full tower custom PC, two monitors, various other stuffs and the motors barely show any strain. I am likely at 75% capacity or so, taking into the account the 100lb countertop that I'm using as the desk top.
I would like to see this frame see a revision list though, and hopefully additional attachment points will be on there somewhere. A C-Frame option would have been phenomenal, as that is what I was originally looking for to begin with. The additional foot room as well as being able to have a cross bar built into the kit would be great for stability and looks. Black oxide hardware. Battery backup for memory storage so manual resets aren't necessary every time the power flickers. Longer feet for added front/back stability. Make that a thing, and this is going to directly compete with the expensive brands available for 2x as much.
Buy it, built it, and enjoy your new standing desk!
All in, I am looking forward to building another one of these desks using this frame - with a slightly cheaper top, as this was a fairly expensive project. The value is absolutely there, and the build quality is awesome.
Buy this desk - it's gonna be the one you'll want and need.
