INTRODUCTION

   Standing desks (or height adjustable desks) may not have become as popular among regular consumers as they are among professionals but there's no doubt that they've changed the business world forever. Health benefits aside (doctors seem to be somewhat conflicted about this as of late) there's no denying that it's not good for anyone regardless of age to sit for long hours every day and standing desks do offer a solution to that (especially for office workers). In my experience however standing desks also offer something other models don't, versatility to be used not only by both adults and children alike but also to be paired with virtually every type of chair out there. Fully is one of the oldest manufacturers of height adjustable desks and since some of you asked several months ago, we received their Jarvis Bamboo model which we've been using ever since.

   The idea behind Fully is simple: Movement is good. When you move, when you are fully in your body, you feel more present, engaged, and alive. More of you shows up to work, to relationships, to life. This was the experience David Kahl had when he first sat in the HAG Capisco. At the time, the U.S. furniture business was pretty much as it had always been. The idea that furniture could radically change your experience of work was new, and what inspiring furniture existed was either unaffordable or oceans away. For David, the Capisco changed everything, beginning with his own life. He felt that this radical new experience in working —in feeling—had to be shared. So he quit his job, converted his father’s barn into a warehouse, and began the slow work of growing a company—from a warehouse of Capisco chairs, to a worldwide search for other inspiring products, to designing his own products when a search came up short. All with the mission of inspiring others to bring their full, active selves to work and life.

   The Jarvis Bamboo Standing Desk is just one of the several available models in the Jarvis line by Fully which as its name clearly points out uses a top made out of natural or dark finish sustainable bamboo which is then coated with super tough UV-cured, water-based polyurethane (there are also models with tops made out of scratch-resistant laminate, hand-crafted sustainable maple, hardwood and reclaimed wood). All tops are available in two shapes (rectangle and contour), several different sizes (in the EU Fully has 120/160/180x80cm models but in the USA they have several more) and with different colors for the top cable grommets (black and white). The tops sit on the Jarvis frame which has a lifting capacity of 158Kg (to included), is available in several different colors (black, white, silver and alloy) and its height is adjustable up to 116.2cm in the mid-range version (comes with an simple up/down handset) and 125cm in the extended range version (features the more advanced LED programmable handset). Fully covers their Jarvis Standing Desk line with a 7 year limited warranty and also offers a very rich range of accessories (including wire management kits, power grommets, clamp mounted power strips, monitor arms, organisers, CPU holders and desk LED lamps) which however we will not be covering in today’s review.
