FULLY's Jarvis standing desks are solidly engineered and reasonably priced for the motorised standing desk market, though they're not budget options. The choice between models comes down to desktop material preference and whether you need the extra width — all three desks share the same motor and frame quality, so you're mostly paying for surface finish.
Why FULLY?
FULLY specialises in motorised standing desks and ergonomic workspace solutions. The Jarvis range is their core offering — it's been their flagship since the brand launched and remains one of the most reviewed standing desk lines in the UK. FULLY focuses on robust dual-motor systems (quieter and more stable than single-motor alternatives) and straightforward design without unnecessary add-ons. They don't claim wellness miracles; they just build desks that move up and down reliably. The brand is trusted by home office workers and small offices alike, largely because their desks survive daily use without noise or wobble issues.
Top Picks
Jarvis Bamboo Standing Desk, Rectangle — £1,245
Best value for eco-conscious buyers seeking natural materials. Bamboo is durable, warm to the touch, and requires no finishing. This is the most sustainable option in the range and typically performs best resale-wise if you upgrade later.
Jarvis Laminate Standing Desk (1,375 version) — £1,375
Best for larger workspaces needing maximum surface area. The larger laminate model offers the most desktop real estate, ideal if you run dual monitors, a laptop stand, and document holders simultaneously.
Jarvis Laminate Standing Desk (1,195 version) — £1,195
Best for compact home offices balancing budget and functionality. The smaller laminate desk costs least, still delivers full Jarvis motor reliability, and fits standard alcoves or tight corners without waste.
Quick Comparison
| Model | Price | Desktop Material | Best For | Standout Feature | |---|---|---|---|---| | Jarvis Bamboo, Rectangle | £1,245 | Sustainable bamboo | Eco-minded buyers | Natural finish, no maintenance | | Jarvis Laminate (Large) | £1,375 | Hard-wearing laminate | Dual-monitor setups | Maximum surface area | | Jarvis Laminate (Compact) | £1,195 | Hard-wearing laminate | Small spaces, budget-conscious | Lowest entry price, full-spec motor |
What to Look For
- Dual-motor vs single-motor: All Jarvis models use dual motors (one per leg), which distribute load evenly and reduce wobble at full height. Single-motor desks can develop a lean over time — avoid them.
- Desktop dimensions: The Bamboo and Laminate (1,375) are wider surfaces; the Laminate (1,195) is compact. Measure your actual monitor/laptop footprint before ordering — cramped setups defeat the ergonomic purpose.
- Height range: The Jarvis adjusts from 64–130 cm, covering most body heights and sitting/standing preferences. Check this matches your chair and monitor arm setup.
- Noise and speed: Expect 40–50 decibels and 25–30 seconds for a full up/down cycle. FULLY's motors are noticeably quieter than budget alternatives — this matters if you share office space.
The Bottom Line
The Jarvis Laminate Standing Desk at £1,195 offers the best entry point to FULLY's range without compromise — you get the same dual-motor reliability and adjustment speed as pricier models, just in a more compact footprint. Choose the Bamboo (£1,245) if natural materials matter to you, or the larger Laminate (£1,375) if you need extensive desktop space. All three desks will outlast budget competitors and hold their value well.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are FULLY standing desks worth the money?
Yes, if you plan to use it daily for 3+ years. The dual-motor system and smooth adjustment justify the mid-range price point. Cheaper desks ($500–800) often develop noise and wobble within 18–24 months; FULLY's warranty and durability data suggest 5–7 year lifespan for regular users. Budget alternatives rarely match this.
What's the difference between the Jarvis models?
The three models share identical motors and adjustment mechanisms — the only differences are desktop material (bamboo vs laminate) and surface dimensions (1,195 cm vs 1,375 cm width). Motor performance, height range, and reliability are identical. Price differences reflect material cost and size, not quality variation.
Can you fit a treadmill under a Jarvis desk?
Technically yes — the Jarvis lowers to 64 cm, and most under-desk treadmills are 50–60 cm tall. However, FULLY doesn't officially support this setup and warranty may not cover it. For treadmill integration, contact FULLY directly or choose a desk specifically designed for active workstations.
How loud is the Jarvis motor?
The dual-motor system produces around 40–50 decibels — roughly the volume of a quiet office or library. Single-motor desks are often 55–65 decibels. Most users find the Jarvis quiet enough for open-plan offices and video calls, though it's not silent.
