Ergodriven
Fort Collins, Colorado · founded 2014
Overview
Ergodriven was founded in 2014 and is best known for the Topo Mat (an anti-fatigue standing mat) and the Tempo Smart Controller — an automated device that detects your presence and prompts you to alternate between sitting and standing on a healthy rhythm. The Tempo Automatic Standing Desk line is the company's flagship product, featuring Tempo built into the desk itself for seamless sit/stand automation. It comes in two variants: the Pro (2-leg, 355 lb capacity, $499 starting) and the Elite (4-leg, 670 lb capacity, $649 starting). Both share dual precision motors, 40dB quiet operation, and an industry-leading 16-year warranty covering all components.
Ergodriven's positioning emphasizes the science of ergonomics and movement, targeting buyers who want automated sit/stand rhythm rather than manual height adjustment. Pricing ($499–$1,299 across the Pro and Elite variants) is competitive for a desk with integrated Tempo, making it an excellent choice for buyers who want movement happening automatically without an app or fiddling.

Third-party reviews of the company
Independent press coverage of the Tempo desk is still thin — it's a newer, niche product built around auto-adjustment rather than a mainstream electric frame, so the usual tech-review outlets haven't covered it the way they have Uplift, Flexispot, or Jarvis. (Disclosure: Standing Desk Reference is published with support from Ergodriven; see our disclosure and editorial pages.)
Reddit discussions
Honest read: there isn't much Reddit data on the Tempo yet. RedditRecs has aggregated only three first-hand reviews of the Tempo Automatic Standing Desk — they happen to be 100% positive, but three reviews is far too small a sample to mean much, especially next to the 60–96-user datasets behind the Uplift, Flexispot, and Secretlab scores on this site, so treat it as anecdote rather than consensus. In the handful of threads that do mention it, the reaction to the novel "desk that moves itself" auto-adjust feature is curious-to-positive, and the first-impressions posters call out the sturdy, heavy build, near-silent motors, and the long 16-year warranty. It's a new enough product that organic volume is low; this section will get more useful as more owners post. Representative discussions:
