Desk is ok - service was not - nearly a month between receiving the first and the last part - and the colours don't match well. Went with Desky a bit begrudgingly as they were the only ones to do an L Shaped desk + a normal desk that fit in my space - really wanted one of the other offerings to do it but couldn't get it to work. Chair is just ok - I'm not sure it's worth the premium over the other chairs Show details

Been using the rubberwood top from Desky for a bit now and honestly, it’s been brilliant. It is really solid and looks great — has that nice clean, minimal vibe I was going for. I’m on it every day for work and it’s just one of those things you don’t have to think about, it just works. Super happy with it. Easy 5 stars Show details ·  1

Desky Dual Slim Aluminium Monitor Arm and Laptop Bracket. This dual monitor arm is well made and relatively easy to install. I also bought the laptop bracket. I am using both and am very pleased with the whole setup. It has given me a lot of useful space on my desktop. Show details ·  1

Good desk when I finally received it... "same day dispatch" patently untrue - and the company admits it – _____ Review updated on Wed 13 Jul 2022 ("Update 1" and "Update 2") to: (1) reflect final outcome after two full weeks (including the two updates mentioned in the comments section); (2) change Production Quality to "Good" (now that I've finally received it - it seems Good but this is my first Sit Stand table so hard to benchmark); and (3)… Read more

upload video of the original incorrect desk that was - in any case - unfinished with drill holes only on one side.

Final update ("Update 3") on Fri 15 Jul 2022 to: (1) reflect the company reaching out on this day to take feedback and walk through concerns; (2) adjust the customer experience rating from Terrible to OK, and the overall score from Bad to OK; (3) update the situation with the monitor arm. _____

** Original experience: Ordered a Desky Dual Scalloped Sit Stand Desk on Wed 29 June 2022. After receiving the wrong table top (both the wrong model, and incomplete because it was missing drill holes on one side - see picture), I immediately contacted Desky via email and LiveChat on Sat 2 June 2022 and organised the right one to be sent out. In the following days I contacted the company twice via LiveChat but the order had not even been "dispatched" - in other words, it's sitting somewhere, presumably in a warehouse.

As at Thu 7 June 2022, Desky had not replied to my email from Sat 2 June 2022, and still refused to provide an ETA for when dispatch will happen. They even referred me to their "shipping policy" which apparently gives exceptions to the "same day dispatch" claim (although I can't see it - it just claims to dispatch on the same day if the order is made before 12pm, excluding weekends and public holidays - but there have been no public holidays this week).

So much for "same day dispatch"! Might as well order from Omnidesk or UpDown if I'm going to wait that long.

** Update 1: After yet another follow up (again via LiveChat, as the company has yet to provide any follow up via my email from Sat 2 June 2022) on the morning of Fri 8 Jul 2022, I was provided a tracking number for Aramex (a courier service).

It didn't work, as the courier had apparently not yet scanned the package. Later in the afternoon, I received an automated email confirming that the replacement desk top has been dispatched and the ETA is 12 Jul 2022. We'll see if I get the right desk top this time - but this is far from "same day dispatch" (originally ordered on Wed 29 June 2022).

** Update 2: The replacement desk did not arrive on 12 Jul 2022 as estimated, but finally arrived today on Wed 13 Jul 2022. So an order from Wed 29 June took two weeks to get here in its correct form.

However, the monitor arm that I purchased from Desky is unfortunately not compatible with my Kogan 34" monitor - so another problem.

Other details: What was additionally annoying through the process was that I received multiple, multiple advertisements from Desky about their "SAME DAY DISPATCH" feature, sometimes as the subject line in an email. Also, I received an offer of $5 cash back to review the desk.

** Update 3: On Fri 15 Jul 2022 Desky called me to walk through the customer experience, take feedback and acknowledge they dropped the ball with "same day dispatch" on the replacement desk. They sorted me out with a small partial refund given the experience and asked if I would reconsider my review. Given their outreach I'm updating the customer service score and therefore the overall score as an average across product, customer experience and shipping. The shipping remains a 1 out of 5 - Terrible - because of the gap between expectation (same day dispatch, as reiterated numerous times with advertising and promotions) and reality (nowhere near same day - more like "same week").

It was interesting to note the representative did admit that, as a small startup company, they tried their best to do same day dispatch and did in the majority of cases, but it was not always the case. I suggested the company alter their advertising and claims as these could be potentially misleading - I certainly made my purchase decision off the back of the claim.

Finally, I've found a solution for the monitor arm to attach to my Kogan screen. Found some VESA adapter screws that came with my original Kogan monitor - I thought I threw these away but thankfully it was hanging around.

Exceptional customer service – I purchased an additional drawer unit, from day 1 it wasn't opening and closing smoothly. The customer service team reached out and kindly offered a replacement as mine was damaged in transit. New unit arrived within days and working perfectly. Thanks team. Show details ·  1

Arm-azing :) – The gaming monitor arms which I’ll use for work are amazing, the sturdiness and how they manage to lift the weight of the Lenovo screens is awesome. Definitely have much more space now and got my set up how I wanted thanks to Desky. They even light up which is super duper cool haha! Highly recommend it however the set up does not take four minutes as suggested by the video but worth the set up :) Show details ·  1

I wrote a negative review on their website because their under-desk PC bracket was poorly designed. Installing per instructions causes the top of the PC to interfere with the motor, rub against it and not hold the PC securely. I had to insert a cardboard shim so it would hold the PC. But that's not the problem. The problem is they deleted my… Read more

Finding the right office chair when you’re 190cm (about 6'3") is usually a long, frustrating journey of "ergonomic" chairs that end at your shoulder blades and headrests that poke you in the neck. I know the struggle well—being born in 1991 means we've spent a good chunk of our lives at desks, and our backs definitely start to notice if the gear… Read more ·  1

isn't right!

I finally took a chance on the Desky Big and Tall Chair, and honestly, it’s a game-changer for anyone in the 190cm+ club. Can also go into the showroom and try all the chairs for an hour which is handy.

Probably the worst return & exchange policy I've ever seen. Received a under desk PC mount for Christmas which was purchased in mid November.

I really wanted a green chair that looked nice as my desk is in the open living area so this one matched the brief. It’s comfortable but not as comfortable as other chairs I’ve had. It’s on the more expensive side so something to consider when weighing up the pros and cons! It was also easy to assemble and came quickly. Show details ·  1

Working from home I need a comfortable, well supported Ergonomic chair. The Pro+ Ergonomic Chair is the best chair I've ever owned. I especially like the fact the arm rests are adjustable so you can glide the chair under the desk at the end of the day without hitting the arm rests. Show details ·  1

I have purchased a new Dell Monitor S3225QS whereby i need a monitor arm to enable the monitor to flexibly move around. After analyzing all the models in the market, I decided to use this monitor arm from Desky which has proven to be the best choice which I could have made - it can move around flexibly around a lot of obstacles on my desk and can always enable me to read the monitor in the most convenient way. I love it! Show details ·  1

My overall experience with order, delivery and with product mostly positive. Their abandoned cart recovery email is fairly annoying. Just because I took a bit more time to think or do other life matters they should not nag me to complete the order.… Read more

Order delivered within a week. No missing parts. Very good.

Dual Sit Stand Frame is good. 5 stars for this product.

Cable and power channel is mostly lousy and I wish I did not buy it. It can be used but it is not worth its money. 1 star.

Earlier I wrote that they offer $15 for good reviews, but after putting it to a test it seems they just give $15 discount for next purchase for any review on okendo.reviews so that statement was likely wrong.

 Follow-up  · It is very stable. I found assembly very easy, however it is just my opinion relative to my experience. Motor works well. If any minor complaint about any such desk, not just Desky, it is that I touch or bump the bars under the desk with my knees.

I have a Desky Pro+ Ergonomic chair. A screw that holds the armrest sheared off in the chair after a year. I sent photos to Desky and they shipped a replacement chair, which I received within 4 business days. I did the complete report by email and… Read more ·  1

they were very responsive - I reported the problem on Sunday and had the first reply before 10:00am on the Monday. I stayed on top of their correspondence and the new chair shipped by 12:00pm on the Tuesday. That sure beats chair warranties from a certain major chain who wouldn't honour the warranty when the surface flaked off the chair cushion within 6 months.

 Follow-up  · Desky didn't want the old chair back - I still have it (without the armrest) The new chair is just fine - same as the old one. Assembly for this chair is quite easy - it ships mostly assembled in a big box. You just have to insert the castors to the base and the base to the chair. I don't recall requiring a screwdriver - it's all press fit.

I'm disappointed with my Desky experience, and I really wanted them to be great. I deliberately wanted to support an Aussie company, and their 1-3 business day shipping time was one of the main reasons I chose them over a random Amazon purchase. Initially I selected a design that wasn't yet available and I missed the (very) small print in that… Read more

section of the website, giving the estimated lead time until that product could be shipped - important to note that the 1-3 day shipping estimate didn't change on the product page even though I made this selection.

I reached out to customer service, they pointed this out to me and agreed to switch out to a design that was currently in stock. After this I waited 5 more business days and still no tracking information. I reached out again and they sent a dispatch confirmation and a tracking number...

Unfortunately the items were never dispatched...

I called the courier and even though they confirmed that the tracking number Desky sent me was coded like an order number they would receive from Desky, no dispatch had occurred against that number.

I'm now well past the deadline I needed the equipment for and have had to rely on officeworks and Amazon to get the job done in time (and i was hoping to avoid ordering from either of them).

My items still haven't arrived, this process has taken 8 business days so far, and the new tracking details Desky have provided (after my latest inquiry to customer service) show that my items won't arrive until next week.

I'm sorry to say that I won't be ordering from them again, and will be advising all those from our business requiring supplies/furniture/tech/accessories to shop elsewhere.

Really disappointing.

I purchased the single motor, white melamine 750 x 1200 desk, monitor stand, cable tray with 4 power points. I'm happy with my new sit/stand desk. Assembly wasn't overly difficult, but it did take a while. Certainly not the 30 minutes they say in the video. I wouldn't call it "easy". The discount voucher they provided for Air Tasker should have… Read more ·  1

been an indication. One of the black plastic guides on the holes where you insert the screws to attach the legs to the cross bar was all bent and fell out inside the cross bar, so that made attaching the leg on one side really tricky, but I got there in the end. Everything I ordered ended up being delivered in three separate deliveries. First delivery was the monitor stand (which arrived without the screws and instructions to assemble) the melamine desktop and the cable tray. Second delivery was the legs. Third delivery was the missing screws for the monitor stand. I still had to email them to get a copy of the instructions. Customer service was very responsive and apologetic, and the missing parts were delivered pretty quickly. The quality of the desk and monitor stand is good and I would encourage others to buy, but I think Desky need to look at their packing process, particularly when they have a sale on.

I recently purchased a 72" x 30" sit-stand desk, with certain accessories, from Desky and could not be happier, with both the products and Desky's outstanding customer service. The desk itself has a solid (1" thick) hardwood top, dual motors, and a simple but highly effective control mechanism. It is exceptionally stable, even when extended to… Read more ·  1

its full height of 50.5". Assembly was very straightforward and as simple as it possibly could be.

I added on Desky's cable management system with two power outlet strips, making it possible to keep all cables hidden under the desk with the exception of a single power cable and an ethernet cable, both of which are partially hidden by another accessory, a magnetic cable tray that attaches to the desk's leg. The power strips each provide three standard AC outlets and one each USB-A and USB-C power ports, and snap into the cable management tray easily.

I added a 3rd-party under-desk mount for my Mac Studio, freeing up desktop space and further hiding cables. It was very easy to mount to the underside of the desktop.

I can't recommend Desky, or their Dual Hardwood Sit Stand Desk, highly enough.

The Desky Single Monitor Arm has been a complete game-changer for my workspace, offering incredible build quality and effortless adjustability.

Great experience from start to finish. Ordering was easy with all the info Desky has on their website that I could look at. I get really nervous to order big things online but that made me feel a bit better!

The product itself is fine. However if you ever need to order replacements or if any parts are faulty from the beginning, you may be met with endless live chats of wait wait wait and wait.

package before they declare to Desky that it is lost meaning you can be stuck waiting for months. My console had a broken ascend button, a standing desk without the ability to ascend... When I asked for a replacement it seemed quick, but two weeks later now and all I am being told is the courier is searching for the package in their warehouse with no guarantee for timeframe. They also refuse to send out another console due to worry about duplicates.

I ordered a chair from Desky and was charged a flat $39.95 shipping fee at checkout, which matched what’s shown on their website for metro deliveries. The next day, I received an email saying the actual courier cost was over $300 and that I’d need to pay an extra $180 to proceed. Even after providing an alternate address within the Perth metro… Read more

area, I was still asked to pay an additional $70 - despite Desky advertising flat-rate shipping for chairs and not clearly identifying any metro exclusions.

While the refund was processed promptly after I chose to cancel, the experience was frustrating and felt misleading. Customers should be aware that Desky’s “flat-rate shipping” policy may not reflect the final cost, even if you're in a metro area.
