We have finally published an updated review of the Uppspel tables after using them for more than 2 years! 😀Check it out here: czcams.com/video/uIdrkR2bbb4/video.html
Excellent review. Thank you for doing the wobble test. I love the sizes of these desks.
You guys have an amazing vibe altogether! Keep it going.
Gotta love these natural reviews. Imma head out to Ikea to get this one too thanks to your review!
Thank you so much! :D
Thanks for the review! I recently bought a Standing Desk Frame and will be picking up the UPPSPEL to accompany it :)
I've been struggling looking for a desk but watching this video and seeing the 180cm desk I instantly fell in love
I went to the store and met this desk today, I fell in love aswell. Might buy it myself if I see a lot of positive reviews from people!
Thank you, super helpful! I was specifically looking for feedback on how wobbly it was :)
Awesome and very helpful review! Thank you very much, you guys we pleasant to listen to and watch
Thank you! :D
Very nice and thorough review! Thank you!
I liked the review and your personalities. You helped me decide to buy this desk and gained a new subscriber ❤️
Are you still happy about the purchase? Any negative points why you would NOT like this desk?
Thank you so much you've been a great help. I just saw it yesterday in IKEA Manchester UK. I really liked it. Probably gonna get one. Cheers.
Thank you for the review :D very helpful!
Thanks for your great review, I'm going to buy one of them today at our Ikea just down the road:). Thanks again
super helpful and thanks for the wobble test.
Great review and lovely couple! The wobble looks good enough and nothing a monitor mount can't handle
very helpful, i actually have the same monitor so this was good to see size etc. Thank you.
Perfect review! Thank you!!!
Nice video and very helpful review!
I have been doing a lot of investigating to get a Standing desk in Europe recently... And honestly it is impossibly hard! All the shops here in Sweden are online, and they sell Tables with chinese motors and actuators with 3 year warranty, yet they still charge 800€ for them. The solution I have ended up going for, was to compromise 20cm of table estate by buying the Idasen (because it is incredibly stable), and then I bought a Linak controller DPG1C desk panel (The electronics manufacturer of the Idasen electronics) so that the desk suddenly has memory capabilities. :)
Interesting, late to the party, but I have a table from dpj, which seems to be chinese, like the table but eould love to have a smarter controller. Does the linak controller work with other tables as well? I don't feel the urge to buy another desk for a lot of money 😄

@@chrisrobin4962 I do not know whether the controller works or not, really :( I know that what I wrote does work because I saw it, but I am not sure whether the controller works with other tables. It should work with other tables as long as it is a table with Linak actuators and components. If it is a chinese build it won't work. What I ended up doing (Because I had to return the Idasen due to damage during transport) was to get a Fully Jarvis desk, and even though it has chinese actuators it had 15 years of warranty, and super good reviews. It is incredibly stable and it honestly was worth it every penny.
I have also been to Wobble Town, I mean Ikea, before too.
Also has a good laugh. Head was millimeters from the ceiling, "this is a good height, I am very comfortable."
Haha! 😂
Thank you for this review!
thanks for the wobble test, guys
It’s very helpful, thanks 😊
Really nice review! I missed only the cabling part, how it goes if you choose this current setup. :)
Loved the nice couple vibes!
Thanks for review. Excellent.
You are honestly so cute together. And that was a pretty good review! You guys convinced me to buy it.
Thank you! :D
Nice review guys.. thanks
Opinion on this desk vs the Herman Miller Motia gaming desk? I can't decide which one to buy. Thanks!
I want to buy an 38' ultra-wide monitor(90cm wide) and also put two monitor speakers on each side of the monitor and a subwoofer below the desk. I'm wondering if everything will fit on a 160x60 desk(Idasen), or should pick the Uppspel, hard choice, help
Good review; I'm making a standing desk using a different base and am considering this top or just a kitchen countertop from Ikea on it so seeing the actual desktop on this video has helped me out. :)
Hi. Did you end up using it as a tabletop? I’m considering doing so myself and wanted to see what your thoughts are?
@@sohailr Yeah, so I ended up using a motorised desk base I got from somewhere better and then an Ikea kitchen countertop. Worked really nicely.
If I could change anything, I wouldn't have screwed the sides of the lift so close to the edge of the table - it makes mounting arms and stuff on the side a bit more fiddly.
Curious how these tables would hold up with a heavy CRT monitor (15Kg) plus 2 or 3 monitors and a heavier case, i am in the middle of thinking about this one, but i am a bit afraid of the 70 Kg max rating.
Thanks for your review. After watching, I went to Ikea yesterday to check out the Uppspel. I compared it to the Idasen. I like that the Uppspel has legs that are offset towards the back of the desk compared to the Idasen where the legs are centered. With the legs offset to the rear of the desk, there's less chance for you to bump your knees on the legs. I also liked that the Uppspel has a larger desktop surface than the largest Idasen top. I liked the angled edge on the Uppspel top compared to the plain edges on the Idasen. The controller with the memory settings is a big plus for the Uppspel compared to the Idasen. The finish on the surface of the Uppspel seems a little strange to me. It seems like it will wear out easier than the finish on the Idasen top. At a height comfortable for me to sit at the Uppspel was stable and didn't wobble enough for me to be concerned. However at the standing height, I found that it wobbled quite a bit. When I tested the Idasen at the same height, it did not wobble nearly as much. In my opinion, the Idasen seems a lot more stable at standing height than the Uppspel.
Yeah, my idasen its like barely any wobble compared to the bekant i had where when even my cat walked across my desk it shook like a earthquake lol. You could always put the top of the uppspel on the idasen frame to make a bigger workspace.
@@TheRealAmbitionEm i am looking at doing what you said, the anchor points for the uppspel are they pre drilled so it can be dismantled later then rebuilt?
@@jumper55ful I think so but not fully sure. You might have to drill your own holes.
thank you for this review
Lovely couple. Nice review. I will buy thanks
Good review. I saw this on Jayz just recently, and was wondering if the legs/table was wobbly. Guess it's "good enough" for me.
Hi there! Would be great to see an update of both setups!
Great review
Does it need to be connected to the power at any height or does it remain locked?
If I turn off the power, the desktop goes down???
thanks guys < 3
Nice review and you are both nice and happy. : )
Thank you very much :D
Hello could you tell me what do you think of this desk after using it for more than a year? Was it worth it? Would you buy it again?
Are the feet on the bottom adjustable incase the floors not perfectly level ?
Thank you!
Thanks for the great video. How many motors does the table use to lift the table? Hopefully one of each side. Grestings from México.
Thank you for your comment! Yes, the table has indeed one motor on each side :)
This is excellent! i was curious about how wobbly it was.
Also i am 191, and i was curious about how tall he was, and it seems just as tall!
Now i know how i could look like with that desk, albeit with lees beard and longer hair :P
Thanks for the review. Was it the ikea berkant bases that wobbled in store? I’m thinking about putting these table tops on those bases. But not electronic adjustment ones.
We think that the ones we tried wobbeling in the Ikea store was of the Berkant series, but it was the electrical version, so we unfortunately don't have any experience with the non-electrical one :/ Hopefully the non-electrical version is more stable!
Cool tables!
Hello, I have a 2000x900 desk made of plywood - do you think this would be okay to support that?
just bought it, I can't wait to mount it 😍😍😍 this time Ikea amazed (also the price) 😂
Is it worth it?
With money no object, I would've bought this one. Or probably the more "civilian" looking, non-gaming electrical desk they have, since I don't like black furniture. I only encountered the Uppspel in two different Ikea stores (my town happens to have two Ikeas), and I will say that this desk felt super-sturdy to me.
As it is, I decided to go a bit less blingy with my desk (I was also building a new gaming-PC from scratch) and ended up buying the Utespelare in grey/silver. I wasn't really out to buy a "gaming"-desk, but the one I wanted (Bekant with oak tabletop) was out of stock locally and also couldn't be ordered online at the time.
After a few weeks of use: The Utespelare is also surprisingly sturdy and stable... no Ikea-wobble here so far. Of course: It's not nearly as convenient as the Uppspel WRT height adjustment - but at least it can be adjusted. That's the price you have to pay for... err... a lower price, I guess. €149 for the Utespelare is a pretty sweet deal, IMO. But I would probably recommend the Uppspel to anyone who can afford it and who doesn't mind black desks.
Thank you so much for your comment! It's nice to know that Utespelare is a good, cheaper alternative :D
Good choice not getting the bekant bro, I had to fix mine to the wall with some brackets to stop the wobble, it was unusable. Ikea know how bad it is because I complained and got refunded and kept the desk :/
It's black 'cause it's a gaming desk, so, it's the theme, if you don't like black ones you can select another one with different colour, but in this case upsel desks are beautiful!
Love it
nice and sweet channel
i hope you will grow up to the 1000 subs or more.
go on and never stop
Thank you so much! :D
What is the size for the one you guys used in the video
Amazing desk I have it myself only thing that let me down was it seemed to scratch easy and it shouldn’t for the price
Are you still happy about the purchase or would you buy something else instead if you could go back in time?
Thanks ❤
I'm honestly surprised how much it wobbles! Idasen virtually has no wobble. I assumed Ikeas "new and improved" sit/stand would be even sturdier? Guess not lol. Great review!
I've just tested Ikea's electrical desks in store and both Uppspel and Idasen in were literally the sturdiest of all the desks in there with Idasen maybe having just a tiny head over the "gaming" desk (the unit I tested however was smaller, so that's a signifficant factor). I'd consider both to be completely acceptable full stretch, but it's the memory controller that makes the biggest difference for me - to bad they haven't updated it on the Idasen series.
On the other hand Bekant desks are something I would never buy - those were wobbly af.
The one i test had the same wobble as a normal non standing desk. Could it be that they didn't set it up right.
People one doubt…. Do you know if This 1 inch desk “uppspel” support an ergotron hx + a neo g9?
I just purchased this rising table. What do you recommend to use to clean the table top without damaging it?
Not entirely sure what the best solution is for cleaning the table, but we use a microfiber cloth and lukewarm water :)
Trying to buy a desk for my brother. I have Ikea Idasen, 160x80, and it's a lot more stable but I really like the design of this one, especially the counter top design, although you could put this top on an Idasen frame(screwing at new positions of course) and have the best parts of both worlds.
but, does it wobble because it needs alignment or is it just bad craftmanship. Does it have adjustable botton knobs?
Thanks for the review. What's the distance between 2 legs?
Thanks for your comment! The distance between the two legs is 104,5 cm on the smaller model and 145,5 cm on the larger one :)
Is it water and moist resistant?
excellent review, I was going buy a different table. Then only thing concerning if it scratches easily.
It wears faster than a dress comes off on prom night.
I put the Karlby Island on these legs a lil big but so far so good lmao
I was seriously considering doing the exact same thing. Would love a photo if you take the time to make one. Did you buy the deeper island or thinner?
Hello,
i would like to ask you how are you satisfied with the table after the year. Did you manage to adjust the legs to maket it less wobble? Or do you encounter any wobble when just typing on a keyboard and moving the mouse on the desk? I am tall as your partner so i am scared of wobbling in big heights. Thank you for your review it helped me a lot
Thank you for your comment and sorry for the very late reply, but we just uploaded an updated review of the tables after using it for over 2 years now, where we also try to show a more detailed view of the wobble when using the mouse and keyboard. You can check it out here: czcams.com/video/uIdrkR2bbb4/video.html
someone help I bought the desk and don’t know how to build it the manual confusing
Awesome video, you two are really cute together
Are those designs on the base of the desk removable? Is it a sticker or a permanent engrave?
It seems like it is a part of the paint. We cannot feel any edge when scraping with a nail.
Hello, Congratulations. Cool 👍
What about the idasen?
Awesome! It's 20CM Wider and a whopping 160 Eur cheaper than the IDÅSEN! I'm seriously considering it =)
im rly thinking about geeting the big 180cm one.. and like that its not wirdly over fetured.. tryed to fine a good big size table so i can fit 3 monitors on it.. but eather they like 2-3x the price of this 1.. or its some wired fetured gaming tabel with ton light and random crap on like cup holder and rly rly rly small:S
I have the desk. It wobbles...not to much, but it is anoying to hear monitor and lamp making noise at every kee press when in standing position.
Searched for a wooble reason and I guess the reason is that diagonal support that is on the bottom is really just for show. If you put your finger where support meets the main leg and move the table you can feel the motion between the leg and the support.
I was thinking of drilling a hole in the back of the leg and fixing support and the main leg together with a screw. But... I guess then the table wouldn't go to low position as it would be hitting the screw...
Any Idea how to actualy utilize the diagonal support? Maybe some epoxy glue... but can't be disasebmled then...
We tried feeling the motion as you described on our two tables (we are currently using one small and one large table) in the highest position, and with one person shaking with quite a bit of force while the other is feeling for motion, we can only feel the slightest bit of movement between the leg and the diagonal support. Our suggestion is going over all the screws and making sure that they are tight. If that does not help, your frame might have a production error so you may want to exchange it.
@@techiedoodledoo You can go through all screws becide four, the only way to tighten those is by disassemble the desk. So annoying :(
Is it suitable if you mount 3 monitors using an arm?
We haven't tested 3 monitors, but on one of the desks our setup is one normal and one ultra-wide monitor mounted on one arm, and that is working without any issues :)
nice video, do you still use this table and how do you like it now after a year??
Yes, we do still use them! We just uploaded an updated review after using the tables for over 2 years. You can check it our here: czcams.com/video/uIdrkR2bbb4/video.html
you still have the desk? How is it holding up? How is the durability of the top? Any scratches or chips?
very good review! you guys are great! I plan to put a 15kg tv on it
We do still have them and use them almost every day 😊 We are planning on making an update video for the tables in the near future
Are you still happy with the wobble when fully extended?
Great Vidya
how is it now 2 years on? i read some reviews of the paint "peeling off in weeks" so need to research before i get the 180cm one
We have just uploaded an updated review where we, amongst other things, show how the paint is doing :) You can watch it here: czcams.com/video/uIdrkR2bbb4/video.html
I've been looking into this desk or atleast the desk top but sadly there is no information as how deep the desk is from the narrowest part in the middle. I'd like to have 80cm wide table to not have my screen too near to me but 70cm could be doable too.
Sorry for a late response :/ We just measured, the table is 75 cm deep from the narrowest part in the middle :)
@@techiedoodledoo Ok ty :) Not too far from 80cm then.
Youre the cutest people
Thank you!
I just tested this desk at an Ikea - there was no more wobble than a normal desk would if you shook it.
So it wobbles just as much as other tables?
Hi guys, a couple of questions if you could help me?
How long did it take to roughly build one desk from start to finish? If I get this desk I'll be building it on my own, in an office which is literally 7ft x 8ft so it's small!
Also, with the desk fully built, how far in do the legs sit/meet the underside of the desk from the edge of the table top?
I hope the questions are clear, appreciate the help.
Hi Ryan! The distance between the edge of the table top and the start of the legs are 45,5 cm. We used roughly 1,5 hours building the desks :)
@@techiedoodledoo thanks 😊
price?
dang.... instantly sold out where I live :( montreal canada
That's too bad :/ When they first came out here in Norway they seemingly sold out very quickly as well, but luckily another batch came in after awhile enabling us to purchase them. Hopefully the Ikea in Montreal will receive more shipments as well! Maybe relevant: If one of the sizes are in stock but the size you want is not, you can check with the store on whether they have only the table top in the size that you want. If they do, you may be able to purchase the table in the unwanted size and the additional tabletop, and mount the tabletop of the size you want. The frame is adjustable and can be used with either table top size. (Our local Ikea did not have the smaller Uppspel in stock, but had the tabletops for them. As we wanted to change one to the smaller version, we just purchased the smaller tabletop and changed it.)
no, you mounted wrong, the table it's not in the right position, the board goes upside down, to put cables through it, and put the suport of connections just bottom.
If you're getting just the desk frame, it is one size.
Extendable from 140cm to 180cm.
So, does it support 150cm long tabletops?
@@castielcroup1007 Yes. You can't go less than 140cm, and you can go wider than 180cm with overhang on either side.
I believe that you put the top the wrong way.. the indent part should be use at the back so the the cables could go through it
You can put the top whichever way that fits best for your needs :) For our setup, the tables are not against the wall, so the cables get plenty of space either way
@@techiedoodledoo if I may ask, how's is it after months of usage? and does the wobble got worst? is it still a recommendation ?
Bro how tall are you ? i want to compair your size with mine xD
192 cm (or about 6'4") :)
The major problem with the desk is whatever coating the surface has, it is absolutely not acceptable. The entire user facing edge of the coating has worn off for me and looks disgusting. Major oversight in comparison to previous desks such as the Jerker, which had the finish of a tank.
Does it wobble when you type at max height?
Neither of our two tables wobbles at any height when we type :)
how will they stand when u have an inclining roof? lol
Great video, great review! Loving your channel you two, subby from me.
monis
She sounds so sweet
Why do you look like my cousins lol?
I saw this on our Local Ikea in the Philippines. Is this made out of chinesium? I don't wanna buy anything from a commie enemy state.
