Damn i really thought you were gonna be a big tech youtuber before i saw your subcount😂 not just your footage quality, but also your presence in front of the camera! I've seen full time yters who don't seem as comfortable as you do
Thanks, Kuba! This was really one of my first times in front of the camera. Certainly a little strange for me as I'm normally the one behind the camera, but glad you enjoyed the video and appreciate the kind words!
This quality is insane for your channel size. Must be a pro.
Appreciate the kind words and support!
It's the equivalent to dress for the job you want, not the job you have.
Great video! I would like to recommend to everyone making a sit/stand desk setup to run all the power strips on the underside of the desktop itself. This allows you to only have one cable and all the cables you have will be fixed to the position they’re in since the power strip isn’t on the frame leg. Helps a lot with cable management and you’ll only have one cable coming from the desk to the outlet to gauge distance on.
Thanks for the kind words, Tully! And for the helpful tip!
The tips are so helpful! I've watched this multiple times to make sure I can install mine well.
Glad it was helpful to you! Thanks for watching!
Great video! Like another commenter, I was surprised at the newness (?) of your channel. Your b-roll was great and icing on the review cake.
Thank you! Yes, I just started, hopefully more to come!
This is such a good overview and exactly what I needed. Also the production on this was seriously top-notch. My only problem now is I was considering the 48x30 but I'm having second thoughts now that I'm seeing your 60x30 lol. Thanks a ton!
Thanks for the kind words, Vesves! I love the bigger desktop. In fact, if I had more space I’d have purchased the 70 inch top. The nice thing is you can always upgrade or downgrade the desktop later on down the road. Hope you enjoy your desk!
Hey Matt, this is a great video, thank you. You’re the only reviewer I’ve seen go into the right level of detail on assembly and wires. Having worked at a standing desk in the past I know the wire management is often the trickiest part. I’m curious why you decided to go with the power strip on the leg instead of the one fully sells that clamps to the desk. Also, I’m still not clear what role the “wire helper” sleeves play in cable management. Thanks!
Hey Beth, thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Honestly, I put the power strip on the leg of my desk because it was the only one I had at the time. A bit of poor planning on my part to be honest. The wire tamer tray is there to keep all your wires from hanging down behind your desk. They’re meant to just give you a cleaner and more organized look. If I had to do it again I’d get two wire tamer trays and two smaller power strips to store inside the wire tamer trays.
Hey Matt, this is exactly what I was looking for. After comparing a couple of standing desk frames (I got the desktop), I fell for the Jarvis and this video just smashed all my concerns. Cheerios!
Wow! Thanks for the kind words, Dimitrie! I'm glad the video was helpful to you and hope you enjoy your desk!
Great review, thank you.
Also dig your desk lamp so much I'm gonna have to make one : )
Thank you! My dad made the lamp. He makes steampunk inspired fixtures!
Great review and fantastic video! Keep up the good work because you earned another sub!
Thanks, Kurt! Much appreciated!
Great review, I ordered mine too at the beginning of this week. Enjoy!
Appreciate it, Neal! I think you’re going to love the desk.
Nice review! I also had the Fully Jarvis in consideration when deciding which standing desk to buy a few months ago but ultimately went with a Steelcase desk (Migration SE 180x80cm) as it was only 150 EUR more expensive than the Jarvis in my country and I already knew the excellent built quality of Steelcase desks through my employer. Was not disappointed: This thing is sturdy af and there is almost no wobble (only if I try unnaturally hard). So in the end it was totally worth it for me and I can only encourage anybody who works from home to invest in a standing desk.
Thanks for the kind words and for the Steelcase suggestion! I actually have a Steelcase desk chair and I really like it. Standing desks completely change the game!
I’m just leaving a random comment so UA-cam can recommend your videos more because you get to the point and are entertaining without music... likes that’s uncommon in 2021. I wish I found your channel sooner. Awesome review
Hey Cavian! I really appreciate the kind words. Comments like this make me want to keep going. Thanks for the encouragement.
the fact that only about 1 minute in you say "i ordered the 30 by 60" is perfect. i'd say 99% of my interest in watching these is the dimension of the top to see how they look.
Thanks for the kind words and glad you enjoyed the review!
Great video. I'm looking at getting one of these desks, and this is the only review I've seen on putting the desk together. Much appreciated!
One question I have is how wobbly the desk is at it's highest setting. I'm 6'2" and have seen some other videos that show only a slight wobble, but am curious as to how bad you think it is.
Also, what do you think of the thickness of the bamboo desktop?
Great job!
Hey! Thanks for the kind words! The wobble is present at standing height if you shake the desk but it's not something I notice with normal use. The thickness of the bamboo top is about 3/4 of an inch which I think feels pretty solid. It has been really nice to work on.
Thanks man, great review and setup tips.
Thanks for the kind words, Paul! Hope it was helpful!
Really great, helpful video. Thanks!
Of course! Thanks for the kind words, Brianna!
Great Video! Does the desktop really have the Jarvis logo embossed on it (@ 2:06)? Assuming you just flipped it over for installation, if so... so that you don't see it? Thank you.
Hey Michael! Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed the video! The desktop actually has a set top and bottom. The Jarvis logo is embossed on the bottom by where you would sit, but you don’t see it unless you look under the desk.
Thanks Matt
I 'Fully' appreciate it
Need a standing desk. my job switched to permanent remote!
The Bamboo top with the carve is what I am considering . . . thoughts on the carve?
The carve isn’t really my thing personally but I have a friend with a carve top standing desk and it’s pretty cool! It all comes down to personal preference so I’m sure you’ll love it!
Just Purchased! Great review - thx!
Bonus Question - "What's high in the middle and Round on both ends"?......
Appreciate the kind words and hope you enjoy the desk! O-H!
nicely done review, thanks
Thanks, Shilezi! Hope it was helpful to you!
Great review!
Thanks, Anthony! Glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching.
Great video. I was going to buy the Lyft V2 desk, but may have to give this deeper look.
Thanks for the kind words, Blake. I’ve really enjoyed the desk after almost two years of use. Big fan of Fully.
Fantastic video all around! Really enjoyed the quality, the variety of shots and your presence. The only thing I don't think was included was your experience with the company and the stats as far as the actual size? Anyway, Your last line about talking about desks in the comments brought me here, ha! Interesting that I'm watching this video AFTER ordering my desk, but alas here I am! I ordered the Fully Jarvis 24x30, white legs with Bamboo top. Still waiting for another few boxes. Super stoked. Cheers!
Hey Holyplasma! Thanks for the kind words and glad you stopped to say hey! I went with the 60 inch top. I think you’re going to love the desk - I’m stoked for you. Even after several months of use it still feels special to work at everyday.
Great video, keep it up!
Thanks, Jorge! Much appreciated!
Great video Matt! How loud are motors when moving the desk up/down?
Thanks Kevin! Hard for me to give you an exact answer on that one but they’re definitely audible. The good news is the desk moves up and down in a matter of seconds so the noise doesn’t last long.
Thinking of getting one! I work full time and study too ~ but I want my workspace to be spacious and comfortable 🌟😄 love your video!
Thanks, Alyssa! It’s definitely comfortable. I still use the sit / stand feature every time I work from home.
@@mattmantyla I just got mine! So happy
That's funny! I commented a year ago with my manual s/s desk but now I'm using a 72x30" Fully Jarvis dark bamboo desk with 3 staged legs and programmable handset. I've had mine for about a month now and it's the best desk that I have ever purchased. If you have a moment you should check out BTOD's New Heights XT4 and the Deskhaus Apex Pro Max. Both are 4 legged desks with a cross support.
Thanks for coming back to check in and I hope you’re enjoying your desk! If I’m ever in the market for a new desk I will definitely check those out. Thanks for the tip!
Hey Matt, great video. I was wondering though, which size desk was this? I was looking at the 72x30 and wasn't sure if this was it. Thanks!
Hey, Andy! Thanks for watching and I’m glad you enjoyed the video. I have the 60x30 model. If I had the space I would have gone for the 72x30 model though!
Awesome video, thanks for sharing!
Of course! Thanks for watching, Shreya!
Nice review...seriously considering but .75 inch thick top over 60 inches seems thin, most rivals seem to be 1 to 1.25....any issues with warp or sag? thanks
Thanks for the kind words! I have not noticed any warping or sagging with the bamboo top. It has been solid!
Great video! I was wondering if you could tell me where you got that desk lamp?
Hey Kiera, it’s one of a kind! My dad makes them with odds and ends he picks up from all kinds of different places. I’m trying to push him into starting an Etsy store. Stay tuned and maybe we’ll make it happen!
😂 clearly you are going to join tech UA-cam because I had the exact same reaction as the other commenters. Not only professional looking b-roll, but also your perfect speed in speaking.
Thanks Brytan! Comments like this make me want to keep going. Appreciate it!
Awesome video and production quality! How is the wobble and sway at the standing height!
Thanks, Wayne. If you really try to sway the desk at standing height there is a little movement, but it's nothing I notice during normal use.
Great video! Keep it up bro
Appreciate it, Joseph!
Nice review, planning to buy this but still hesitant. Correct me if im wrong that table top is the 2cm thick one right? I’m leaning more towards the 3cm one but the price difference is huge. Was wondering if the 2cm would be strong enough to hold a monitor arm, specially since i’ll be using it for a very long time
Hey, Gabriel! Thanks for watching. I believe I have the 2cm version and I think the bamboo top would hold a monitor arm. It would seem like a huge miss to me if Fully shipped desks that couldn’t support such a common desk fixture.
Thanks for the review - it's definitely the most informative one I've seen on UA-cam. Just a note that it's not possible to order the desk without grommets from Fully's EU and UK website.
Hey Alex! Thanks for watching and I hope you found it helpful in some way. Interesting you're unable to purchase without grommets on those sites. After browsing their US site it appeared I was able to actually order without grommets but I missed that when I was checking out. Of course there is always the option to purchase your own desktop and then use Fully's legs!
@@mattmantyla Extra bit of info I learned today: grommets are not available for the time being on the 60x30 desk. Their customer support confirmed this.
@@TheJoshLange thanks for the heads up! Definitely helpful to those watching this video. Wish they wouldn’t have been available when I purchased my desk lol
Great video 👍🏻 I’m ordering mine this week. Same company
Thanks, Ingrid! I think you’re going to love the desk. I’ve really enjoyed using mine.
What's the name of that file cabinet under your desk? I like that design and have seen it in other's videos.
I believe it is an “IKEA Alex Drawer” unit. It was actually given to me by a friend so I’m not 100% sure, but if you search IKEA it should pop up!
Not sure if you mentioned in your video but what is the size of this desk? I'm deciding between the 48" and 60"
Hey, Ivan! Thanks for watching. I went with the 60” top. Honestly, I probably would have gone even bigger if my space would have allowed for it.
That was a helpful tip on figuring out the wires when the desk at the highest point. You probably saved me a lot of aggravation. Haha
Lol I’m glad, Chris! It was frustrating for me for sure. Happy wire taming!
I have a home recording studio DAW. I have a 27” IMac and another 27” monitor. I’m looking for a desk that doubles as a recording studio desk and an office desk for my other business. Do you think this is a good fit for me? If not do you or anyone else have any other ideas? Don’t remember if you mentioned the size of your desk. I want something about 55x28 or 60x30.
Hey James, I think you could fit your setup on this desk. I have the 60x30 model and the monitor I use is 27 inches for reference. If I had more room I probably would have gone with a wider model, but I think it will serve your purposes. If you can, I would also recommend taping off the space on the floor to give you a better idea of what the size of the desk will look like in your room.
Great review! I was wondering what that dock/stand is that we're seeing in the video.
Hey David! It’s a “BookArc,” made by 12South.
@@mattmantyla nice, thanks!
I have a manual sit stand desk and I work from home permanently. I have no complaints for my manual desk however now I wished I had an electric one. Lol
Hey ! Thanks for the video. What size did you take ? I feel like it could be 140 or 160cm wide ? Hard to choose between both
Woops sorry, you said it, it's the 160cm one. Perfect !
@@Mathis-zk7uq yes indeed! I went with the 160x80cm model. I gotta say, if I had the room I would have purchased an even bigger size. There have been a few times where some extra space would be nice. If you get a big enough table top it can become a nice standing work bench in some situations!
All right thanks for the answer ! And do you think 80cm is too deep for your 27" iMac ? Because I'm hesitating to pick the contoured top (I have a 32" monitor)@@mattmantyla
Hi Matt, i want to send this desk to my daughter who's 5'3" and i've read this is the best one for shorter people. I am have read some of the reviews re wobbling and that's my only concern. If it does wobble, do you know how to combat that issue? I know you can buy pads to put underneath furniture (i've done in my own house) so do you think that would fix any wobble issues? Also, when i read the return policy it read "you cannot return "Open-box Items". Well that seems ridiculous since you wouldn't know that you'd want to return it unless you fully put it together right? do you happen to know if my daughter can return it after she's opened the boxes? I am going to ask Fully but wanted to know your thoughts too. Thanks! and love the video since it really told me exactly what i should and shouldn't add on for her, and exactly what'd she'd need to assemble.
Hello! Thanks for watching. The desk will wobble if you try to wobble it, but it’s not something I really notice and it doesn’t really bother me. I’m not exactly sure about Fully’s return policy though. Sorry I can’t be more help there.
I saw a review with the wobble also. The one I saw was by a guy who was selling his own desk and said his was better. I've built three of these desks and there is zero wobble.
Once again i thought this is a 1m subs channel
Keep the grind 💪💪
Thank you, Mina! More to come soon!
what speakers you are using on this desk? I see its just one unit, it reduces number of wires.
Hi Gaurav! I actually only use the speakers built into the monitor on my desk.
Where can I get that drawer you have under your desk?
IKEA!
Awesome desk.
Thanks for watching, Jan!
where did you get that laptop holder/stand?
Hey, Andres! It's from 12 South.
I have the fully jarvis 2020, but i am returning it because it wobbles soooo much at standing height. It wobbles as i type and my monitor shakes! This kind of sucks for a standing desk :(
Is yours the same model of this one or is it the older model?
Awesome video editing
Thanks, Alex!
How is the wobble of this desk? Noticeable at all or of issue?
Hey, Matthew! It is definitely noticeable but I’ve never had an issue with it. Some people might be more sensitive to wobble than me, but I really don’t see it as a problem. It’s solid enough for my taste.
Hey Matt! Great video, but I was wondering how your experience with the stability of the desk is?
Hey Matthew! Appreciate the kind words. The desk will wobble if you try to make it wobble. It maybe even wobbles a bit if you start typing heavily. However, the sway has never bothered me and I never notice it.
The wobble is serious. I'm returning it after a couple of days of testing.
@@marcobiraghi Gotcha, yeah I ended up getting a different desk. I appreciate you replying though!
@@matthewalves3855 what desk did you get? I’m looking for a new solution too
@@marcobiraghi I ended up going with the BTOD VertDesk V3. I haven't noticed any wobbling, but I did have a messed up preset switch and got in contact with customer service, which then sent out a new switch for me pretty quickly. So I think the thing to keep in mind with the affordable standing desks is sometimes you get some bad ones in there. Unless you're going all out and dropping a bunch of cash on a really nice one. But if I had to recommend a desk, I'd give BTOD's VertDesk a go.
Is the extended range necessary?
Hey Sphiin! I suppose it depends on how high / low you want the desk to go. I wanted maximum flexibility so I went with extended range. I used a tape measure before ordering to make sure it would adjust to the heights I wanted.
Where did you get the industrial lamp?
My father made it! One of a kind!
@@mattmantyla your father has an artistic talent. He should make more and put them on sale.
Is this a paid promotion? You did not mention anything about the stability although I did notice a bit of a wobble when you were putting what I assume was a heavy custom lamp to cover the grommet.
Hey ProViewOppinion! No this is not a paid promotion. I paid full price for the desk and have not been compensated by Fully. To me the stability of the desk is fine at standing height. There can definitely be some wobble with normal use but it’s not something I personally notice or am bothered by. That lamp probably weighs about 25 lbs for reference.
I should have watched your video before I put my desk together, I also threw the desk hardware away and had to dig in a dumpster to retrieve it!
Must be a common issue lol!
Tell me you American without telling me you're American.
what is the length?
I went with the 60 inch model but they sell a bunch of different sizes and have an option where you can just buy the legs and use your own top.
nice Benchmade, which one is it?
Hey Ava! It’s a Mini Griptillian! Love that knife.
@@mattmantyla it’s sick! Love the compactness of it. Great review btw I’m on the fence between the one you have or the fully w/ the whiteboard top
I’m sure you’ll love either desk. The whiteboard is a cool concept for a desktop!
@@mattmantyla yeah it is in theory, i just wonder how it’ll hold up irl vs the bamboo
Greta video thanks
Thanks, Michael! Hope it was helpful!
Has a familiar build to the uplift
Yes! I imagine they are very similar.
It's the same Chinese base from Jiecang. In another review I read that Jarvis put heaver feet on, so it has a lower CoG than the Uplift.
Any comments on the stability of the desk at standing height?
Hey Bludangell! Thanks for watching. I’ve never had a problem with stability at standing height. If you try to wobble it, it will definitely wobble but with normal use it has been solid for me.
The recycling is very important but is not part of the assembly. Discard the boxes after you finish the build.
my favorite benchmade knife ever
Definitely a good one! Super handy!
What about those hanging cables? i don't want that.
Hey Sean! I made a mistake by not getting two wire tamer trays. If you don't want to see any cables at all behind the desk then I would recommend getting two wire tamer trays and two small power strips to go inside of them. You could connect the power strips and easily run one power cable from the wire tamer trays down the leg of the desk and not see any cables at all.
@@mattmantyla I don't plan on doing it anytime soon. It's a hefty price for the desk in general. I also plan on somehow doing a custom wooden desk from home depot, where around the sides I can put rgbics, and diffuse them somehow, and probably vinyl wrap the desk, and create and invisible charger for it. So its gonna be a min.
@@mattmantyla but thanks for the info. Also, other desk I've seen, it seems nobody really has underneath clean. Looks like this did. lol.
big GGs
GG AK!
Ordered mine yesterday.. hope it will arrive in time and setup will work smoothly
@@a.k.3156 Best of luck! I remember waiting a bit for mine to ship. I think you're going to love the desk.
Is this video sponsored?
No, it is not!
