The ideal standing desk is strong, wobble-free, attractive and doesn’t cost over a thousand bucks. Northday’s entered the Australian market with its EverDesk Max standing desk to satisfy this need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did it succeed? Yes and no.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It did well in our best standing desks in Australia<\/a> test, competing commendably against Australian incumbents like the UpDown Pro<\/a> and cheap but cheerful Artiss desk<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the EverDesk Max fell short of clinching the title. Let’s take a close look at where it fell short.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compact Size.<\/strong> Great for smaller home offices that are tight on space.<\/td>Laminate Desktops. <\/strong>I don’t love laminate – especially at this price point. Give us a bamboo desktop option, Northday.<\/td><\/tr>
Warranty & Build Quality.<\/strong> Up to 10 years of coverage and a solid frame.<\/td>Awkward Pricing.<\/strong> You can add $150 to your budget and buy the ultra-premium UpDown Pro or Desky Dual.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Reasons To Buy The Northday EverDesk Max Standing Desk.<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Northday is attempting to dethrone market leaders UpDown and Desky by packing a lot of features into its EverDesk Max standing desk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

1. Solid Desk Frame<\/strong>.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you’ve read any of my other reviews, you’ll know that I get worried when receiving budget-oriented products. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the EverDesk Max isn’t strictly “budget”, its pricing is intended to undercut established Australian brands, which means the company needs to save costs somewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My worry when I hear this is – always – has the build quality suffered?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m happy to report that the frame is rock-solid. <\/span><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Yes, it’s a little thinner than Desky and UpDown, but the difference is inconsequential in real-world terms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rated to 120 kg, it’s coated in a thick powder coat, has dual motors (a must, in my opinion) and has anti-collision sensors built in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, some competing desks are rated to as much as 150 kg, but because the EverDesk’s desktop is quite compact, you’ll run out of physical space long before you reach its maximum load limit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/path><\/path><\/svg><\/div>

Important!<\/h3><\/div>

The motors raise your workspace smoothly, quietly (less than 50dB, which is about the sound level of a fridge motor) and quickly (8 cm\/sec, above average), with no vibrations.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

2. Plenty Of Freebies.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Northday tempts you with a lot of complimentary accessories to sweeten the deal. Currently, you get these extras with every EverDesk Max purchase:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
