Is the Jarvis Bamboo Worth It?

Best-looking desk. The Jarvis is within a millimetre of the Uplift on stability and ahead of it on looks and quietness. Choose between them on whether you want the bamboo or the extra height range.

Jarvis Bamboo Pros & Cons

Pros
  • Quietest desk in the test at 42 dB — it will not wake a sleeping baby
  • 3 mm sway, second only to the Uplift
  • Bamboo top is solid, well finished and ages well
  • Herman Miller now stands behind the warranty
Cons
  • $729 and the accessories are priced accordingly
  • 42 minutes to assemble, the longest here
  • Bamboo needs occasional oiling
