TechRadar Review Praises Vari Electric Standing Desk With TechTrack

The desk is available direct from Vari in a range of styles, with prices starting at $949. At the time of the review, it was discounted to $760. The reviewer chose a walnut desktop with a black frame and noted several other color options. TechTrack accessories include a phone holder, a shelf, a laptop stand and a tablet stand.

In its verdict, TechRadar said it gives blanket approval to few standing desk companies and models, and this desk is one of them. The review said its build experience is second to none, the TechTrack is genuinely useful and the quality is fantastic. It listed fantastic assembly, great quality and the TechTrack system as pros. It listed cable management being sold separately as a con.

The review said many standing desk options look similar, with some companies possibly reusing parts or using the same main distributor under white labels. Vari was described as setting itself apart through a unique setup process and easy assembly. The included TechTrack was said to step up its game again.

TechRadar said the TechTrack system changes what a desk could look like. Instead of only placing a desk shelf or accessories on top, users can integrate products into the desk, according to the review. It said only a few other desks have moved away from a standardized slab of wood or material, and that the approach changes the game without reinventing the wheel. The reviewer compared it to taking the ingenuity of a Balolo Desk Shelf and building it into a desktop, allowing sleek, customizable modularity in a way that is not otherwise attainable.

On unboxing, TechRadar said Vari's packaging and unboxing experience remains among the top. It described the process as seamless, easy and well thought through. For this desk, Vari recommends assembling the legs while the desktop is still in the shipping box to reduce the risk of scratches from the TechTrack system. The reviewer said following the instructions helped after a rogue screw scratched another desk and floor during a different assembly.

The review said the assembly process can indicate how the rest of a product will operate. Most desks are similar, a wooden slab on legs, but this desk's process was extremely easy to follow, ensuring it is done right without mess-ups and quickly, according to TechRadar. That set users up for success, the review said.

TechRadar said the TechTrack system is the main attraction, but the desktop and legs are also strong. It said Vari upgraded one of its highest-end and already popular desks, and the combination with useful TechTrack accessories for professionals made the release a slam dunk.

The reviewer said they use standing desks to the fullest, changing height multiple times an hour, using presets, loading them with gear and building each desk to be advanced. Some people use a standing desk to feel better by standing once a day or once a week, while the reviewer uses it to change thoughts, stay fresh and get standing time, according to the review.
