Jay I've seen a $1000 desk, but this this the same thing and damn nice steal jay love it
Where did you get the name Planty from?
I have owned this exact desk for a year now. Dual motor normal shape and size black and it is by far not only my favorite desk but it is also the cheapest one I have ever bought. I am glad to see you endorsing this product as it is a growing company that can use the attention your huge fanbase.
These are honestly amazing. I bought the DIY Kit (the one without an included table top) and refinished a wooden table top I got from college surplus for $5. In total, I was able to do the whole thing for under $300. It's been great having the ability to switch between sitting and standing; really helps to move around a bit while working/gaming. 10/10 would recommend
Better come with The little plant too for $350 Haha. Maybe ill get one some day :P
Does it handle having a full setup on it and using its up/down feature, I imagine it has a limit on what it can lift? I'm in the market for something like this :)
DaveChaos In the video it is seen lifting up down his test bench.
DaveChaos he had his partner Nick( I belive that's his name anyway) sit on it while he used the height adjustment and it seemed to work fine.
Jay your'e the man! Past few weeks I have been looking at building a complete new setup and the one item I couldn't find was an affordable adjusting desk that is DIY and you have found it for me! Glad I've been watching your videos (basically all) keep up the good work!
I have the low-end SmartDesk 2 for my work-at-home job and I love it. Definitely one of my better purchases. Glad to see Autonomous getting some exposure!
makes my day every time I see a JayzTwoCents video show up.
Yes
same here its been 4 days ive missed his videos
Kaleb Walker you need a life
010FSL101 You're here watching and commenting. You should heed your own advice, kid.
Kaleb Walker same here. I have a lot of respect for the man

I wanted a standing desk and got a very similar setup. I love it! Never put it down and stand all the time. 3 hour gaming sessions are actually very comfortable.
What desk did you get and how do you like it
I have something like this at work. It's amazing to be able to choose how much to sit/stand during the work day.
I bought the "Jarvis" desk that was recommended on Wirecutter, which is similar (in fact, I think it's probably the same mechanism-- seems to be a dozen companies selling the same unit) and I love it. Make sure you get a "topo" mat to stand on if you plan to stand more than an hour a day, makes a huge difference. The health benefits of standing desks are debatable and no long-term studies have been done yet, but I really like it, splitting a typical 8 hour day about 50/50 between sitting and standing and find that I have more energy toward the end of the day and have fewer back problems. Also, if you shift your weight and move around a lot while standing you will burn a few extra calories.
Studio is looking great. Don't let the plant fool you, though... he's a sociopath. He's killed before, and he'll do it again. Don't turn your back on him.
now i want to hunt chinese factory sites for the unit so i can DIY it.
tjeulink The usual source has them.
Andrew Delashaw yep found them too, wonder what the import tax is like though. maybe I can order them trough a friends company lol.
not sure I"d want to stand at a desk 8 hours a day.
Ken Havens I only have a standing desk and work for up to 14 hours a day. It's no different than anyone else who has to be on their feet all day; physical labour is definitely more tiring on the legs. I also play games at a standing desk during my free time. I really only sit down for meals. The human body is not meant to sit all day; it feels much better to stand (I've had the same setup for 2 years; no complaints) my chair still sits beside the desk for my cat sleep on though. He seems to prefer sitting/lying.
the ending of the video made my day
Plant-E..? Planty . looks wrong
Have never been disappointed by any of your videos Jay!
Even though this isn't an exciting product your production value made this video amazing, you are second to none!
jay!!!!! please do de chair review! Im buying this week.. need advice for a 10+ hours chair sitting time
Alexis Otaño Alexis Otaño i bought this unit like a month ago. Both the chair and desk after watching Jay and I am telling it was my greatest choice. I try to mix standing and sitting but once I seated for 8 hour and felt comfortable. wish I could help you.
Alexis Otaño try the staples hyken
Cardinalis thanks! I know jay os a tall guy, me too so thays why I was hoping he could make a review on the chair.. good neck and lumbar support are very hard to get in most chairs when you're tall.. have any comments on those?
Sanjay Thallam I'll look it up. thanks!
Alexis Otaño i know what you talking about I am 6'3'' and from my personal it's great.
i want to know more about the chair!@! i need a decent chair thats ergonomic and NOT "gamer'y"
This is perfectly timed for me. I'm moving this summer and have been looking up all of the major brands of sit-stand desks. While I had basically already settled on this one, it's nice to get your personal opinion on the product. I'm currently dieting and doing lots of exercise but I'm also a video editor so every hour I'm awake I'm sitting down... that needs to change.
O shit! this is my desk. I bought the DIY set a while ago and made my own top. It's the Best Thing I Never Had. amazing how now it is on your UA-cam channel.
That site is being pounded by traffic right now
review the plant.
Love seeing all your content Jay, I've been watching for awhile and finally subbed. This video actually helped me decide on a desk. Thank you.
yo jay thanks for making more content, love it! good work keep it up
Thanks Jay! I know how much these types of desk cost at market rate, so at $549.00 that's a great price point. Please let us know the manufacturer of the chair? I'm in the market for one now and it looks great. Thanks!
Chair is from the same company
Thanks for quick reply
that's how they trick you into buying things that aren't worth what their asking price is. 1200 for a desk is ridiculous so is 599. Their DIY kit is 249 and the smallest desk which uses the same DIY kit costs 50 more, so the 53 inch top is 50 dollars but the 73 inch top is 350 dollars? lmao
Your forgetting that the larger sized desk also needs a second motor and a larger frame. Also your looking at the wood paneled top not the standard white so its not really a fair comparison.
"30 inches is decent but I think 40 inches would have been perfect"

I had actually just purchased one of these a few weeks ago, love it!
Bought a kit after seeing this video and very happy of it (took the dual motor and an ikea table top). Thanks!
ok, enough with the as Jay would say "ontonomous" desk! lol
Liked this one for Planty :/... and for the fact that i want one of these desks but it costs almost TWICE the price to have it shipped to europe :/
I love my desk. I bought the small one with the ergonomic cutout in the middle. I use it to play on my computer while in a rocking chair.
Just finished building my new DYI Autonomous desk. Works great. Thanks for showing be such a cool desk for the money.
The best "He's upright, she's laying on her back sex position" tool ever!
You know how sometimes you need to bend your knees or go on your toes to align the rod just right? The best and sadly - most expensive solution out there...
I just realized I'm going to have to plug my desk into the wall...... That sounds weird.
Great vid Jay! Looking forward to that review of the chair, looks awesome!
I have been looking for a decent one of these for my own home office. Thank you for the heads up on this.
Am I the only one wanting to see a review of planty?
Daniel Jensen yes, most likely
yes
Paid about $60 for my desk from Ikea, had it for 5 years now, works fine.
Does it move up and down though 🤔
Only when I lift it up and down lol =)
Garrett Johnson 5 years later .
Hey bro , i got a new Chair .
Friends : ...... but is it RGB ?
You can also purchase a $50 desktop and have it last 5 years. So what?
Got mine 20$ from Ikea clearance sale. No fancy up and down thing but otherwise practically same desk. It even said it has some fancy coating for professional use. Nice desk by my standards anyway.
I ended up building my own with 4 linear actuators, it's 90x36 with a monitor shelf as well as some shelves made from some additional material on the bottom held up by .5in pipes
Thanks Jay for the info and links to buy... moving to a new location and needed some new desks.
Pro tip:
Buy the DIY desk kit for $250 and a large, solid core door blank from Home Depot etc for ~$70.
Who's been here since like less than 200k? 🖐
Meeeeeeeee
sam herro
sam me
👇 This guy!
JayzTwoCents I thought you subbed around 500k my bad
I have the same desk and chair. I got it a couple of months ago after doing some research on sit-stand desks and this was not only one of the most affordable, it was one of the nicest as well, especially at that price point. I got the walnut finish with the black frame though. I did spend the extra money on the all black ergo chair as well. Definitely a nice set up.
It's cool to see Jay found this desk months after I got mine. He has good taste!
Not sure if you heard but the desk is $549. This desk is priced at 549 bucks. That's right $549.
StevasaurousREX, And your point is?
Josuel Servin his point is it's cheaper than the others but it still as priced as fuck. Companies selling it at 1.5k are mad. These guys are way lesser mad but...still lol
Motors and motor controls are not cheap, especially for niche products like this. I was surprised at how cheap it was.
Especially high quality motor controls.
Those 1.5k one's and such can likely hold like 5 different people sitting/standing on it.
This $600 one can't exactly hold that much, as as Jay demonstrated, it can only hold a maximum of around 200-300 pounds so yeah.
Now as low as $349
Jay, get some new t-shirts! You're losing so much weight they are way oversized for you ☺️
Pretty darn cool desk there, Jay. I may have to get one myself! Thanks for showing it off!
Wow. I was truthfully expecting a much higher price. I don't have space right now, but in the future, I will keep this in mind. Thanks, Jay!
you should learn to pronounce "autonomous" lol... Not On-tonomous...
THIS! PET PEEVE! Still like you, though, +JayzTwoCents.
yeah, nbd but sets off my OCD just enough to make me twitch every time he does it lol
seriously, how does he not realize what hes saying? he does it every. single. time. he spelled it correctly in the title, though...? again, jay. its 'ahh-tonomous', not 'on-tonomous'. ...there is only one N!
He does it to piss you off.
autonomous from the Greek word "αυτόνομος" = aftonomos, meaning something that working from its self
Did you just assume Planty's gender?!?!
I find your comments about the "Ergo vs race chair" interesting...I got rid of my last "ergo" chair because it was so uncomfortable after a 10 hour day of work. I moved to a DXRacer because it was much more comfortable long term...and I had a VERY expensive ergo office chair that ranked very high in the comfort zone...I guess it comes down to what you like! Keep up the good work Jay...looking forward to 2 mil subscribers!
The studio looks amazing, and looks very proffesional.
Perfect setting for having interviews also :).
I would love to make a version of this to use in my welding shop.nice work desk Jay,Like the seating choice aswell
was looking at a stand up one and saw this, but wasn't sure. now that I saw one of my favorite techys review, I think I might get it when I get my new pc.
More office equipment videos please! Also would be cool to see videos of you setting up cool/custom office/gaming spaces, not sure if you have the space for it though.
I bought the same desk as you but the black version a few months ago and I agree completely with everything you said even the cable passthrough issue. Overall, it's a great desk!
WOW! grats with 1M subscribers! remember when you had like 20k, you deserve it!
That outro snap to the plant bit was epic. Keep up the awesome content Jason.
The DIY Kits look pretty nice, I've already got a top on some filing cabinets for my desk right now. One of these days when I move out of my apartment I'll have to upgrade to one of their bases.
you'll always get my like Jay, anyone who is able to entertain me and make make me laugh at the same time gets my like
I love that green screen behind you. It makes huge difference while you guys are recording. I am going to put on my list to consider getting in the future.
Got my XL business edition after seeing it in your videos. Really happy with it :)
Ty because this is what my wife and I have been looking into thanks for another amazing video
thanks for the insight on the Autonomous desks/components, also great to know I can buy it without a top and say use a maple stained butcher block counter top etc 👍 as always man thanks for the work you put in on your reviews you're always entertaining and informative.
Jay,
Thanks so much for this vid. Was looking at this desk before and price point is spot on. As far as the chair, may end up getting that first. I don't like the racing themed stuff, but I do need ergonomic chair for my back.
@JayzTwoCents thanks for finally speaking out at end out "racing" gaming chairs. I have Bucket seats in my car and the they are the last thing I would want to sit in for a long gaming session. They are designed to keep you secure and safe first and comfy later. I've been using a nice big comfy office chair for the past 8 years and never looked and replacing it with a "gaming" chair cheers for speaking your mind about them :)
Thanks alot for making this video! this is genuinly something i need and its quite affordable
Thank you! I was waiting and asking for this. =)
Wow, white balance looks really good. Nice workspace.
Finally I have been waiting for an affordable sit/stand desk that just sells the legs. At $349 for the Upgraded legs isn't too bad, I have been wanting to try a standing position because I have such a bad sitting position and slowing messing my back up because of that. Thanks for the video about this Jay.
The set and studio looks good Jay!
You should consider doing something to the aqoustics of your studio. The echo is really noticable
I currently am using a stacking plastic outdoor chair for my setup because I can't find an affordable office chair. Definitely gonna be looking forward to your autonomous chair review
Damn Jay, the new place looks awesome! Great job man! O___O
Very nice very affordable sit/stand desk. Glad you found it Jay, might have to try and find one near me to check out.
I was seriously considering one of these when you showed it off a little bit in the moving vlog. Thanks for the full review, but unfortunately now I really think I'm going to buy one darn you! haha
Jay I miss this location. It was simply perfect. No boxes laying around.....nice and cozy and simple. That is what it should always be IMHO.
Thanks for the desk review. Been wanting a simple desk but with me being a small 7 foot guy....it’s hard to find something for my 40 inch legs to get under.
Same. Very nice setup this was.
Nice find! I would definitely get the kit version and put my own 72x46 top on there with some 2x4 bolted under the feet for added stability. Wouldn't go for their plastic/mesh chairs though - top grain leather is far more comfortable.
Woah I literally just started looking for a sit stand desk last night, thanks for bringing this to my attention!
Did you get one
Just came from work, best evening ever :)
Up for the plantie!
amazing, finally found a mechanical desk that doesn't cost over 1k and ships to Canada. Thank you so much, Jayz!!! (wish they had a corner desk option though)
The new studio looks fantastic!
I've been using the first version of this desk since July of last year. Those motors are still going strong, and I put a lot of junk on mine! Also using their ErgoChair (roughly three or four months), which does get a little squeaky, but is otherwise very comfortable. My only real complaint is the desk makes me want to stand and the chair makes me want to sit and I can never figure out what to do. I have no regrets.
Absolutely HAVE to have this for soldering.
Was thinking about these desks as well. Would also like to see your take on nice quality monitor arms.
Nice video setup, it's probably the best. I like a lively/livingroom/housey background
Maybe this will be an easy gift to get from my parents for my birthday because it means I can do this thing I love most while freaking STANDING.
I just got the DIY base from autonomous, the business edition, and I put an old dining table top over it in the meantime. Really wanted a standing desk to share study time between it and my regular desk. When I'm done with my upcoming exam, I'll do a custom 3/4 wood with stainless steel overlay. Great Video!! Looking forward to the Ergo chair video, I got my current DXRacer chair based on your review. :-)
I have a similar desk at work. I have 3 monitors. Works like charm.
Awesome review, and very much looking forward to your chair review too. Ergonomics should be a seriously big deal indeed for everyone, specially those of us using our computers for rather long stretches of time every day.
Wooot! I have the biggest version of this desk. It's awesome.
Jay this channel is seriously one of three of my go to channels whenever i want to look at pc porn, and youre one of the people who motivated me to build my first gaming pc! Keep doing what ya do
finally a sit-stand dask that is affordable. haven't seen many of those. thats the way to go. we really need to see those things in offices.
For the grommets just put a wrap or two of electrical tap around it to make it a tighter fit An elastic band may work too.
Just got mine today, Will set it up tomorrow =D
I bought the Updesk Squareup 60", I tell you what, I love it. It is more expenive than yours, and doesn't have the cable holes. But I love that it's a corner desk, and it has 3 legs,a nd supports 450 pounds. It feels so sturdy. I will never go back to a regular desk.
I came so close to buying either the large desk or their chair, but decided to go a different route for now due to wanting to invest more into my PC build instead. I think next year will be the year I go for one of their chairs and the large desk as well, but we'll see. My best laid plans usually don't make it out of the planning stage.
I can't wait for that chair review, although I might have a semi-comfortable one soon that I got for free & am reupholstering. For distant future reference I had been considering a Herman Miller Aeron. If what you got is cheaper but just as comfortable long term (especially on the ass) then I'll really consider it.
Hey Jay, Can you do a video about your fiber internet and server setup?? Would love to see how you've got everything installed!
Really like the new setup!
