My Experience with the Levus Ultimate Workstation (Long Review)
I recently purchased the Levus Ultimate Workstation, and I wanted to share my honest thoughts about the product for anyone considering it. For context, I have a herniated disc and can’t sit for more than 30 minutes without significant pain kicking in. As a remote worker and entrepreneur, I’ve tried countless solutions to address this issue – including standing desks – but none of them worked for me. A zero-gravity workstation was ultimately a medical necessity, which led me to thoroughly research the available options.
After comparing ErgoQuest, Altwork, and Levus, I decided on Levus for two main reasons:
1. The price – while still high, it’s more accessible than some competitors.
2. The design – it looked far more comfortable than the hydraulics-heavy Altwork station, which (let’s be honest) resembles a dentist's chair.
The Buying Process
One standout aspect of the experience was the excellent customer service provided by the Levus team, particularly Dan, who was my main point of contact. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful throughout the process. Dan provided valuable advice on everything from installation tips to screen recommendations, and he remained available for any follow-up questions about customization and accessories.
The Assembly Process
The shipment took about 3-4 weeks to arrive in Europe, which I found reasonable given the size and complexity of the product. Assembly was a significant time investment (about 10-12 hours for two people), but the instructions were clear, and the effort was well worth it. A workstation of this caliber naturally requires a bit more effort to set up, but the result is a sturdy, premium piece of furniture that feels like it will last for years.
Using the Levus Ultimate Workstation
The Levus has been a game changer for my work setup, and while it took some tweaking to perfect, it’s been well worth the effort. Here are a few notes on the user experience:
• The keyboard tray: It’s functional, but I found it helpful to add magnetic tape and pads (about €10 on Amazon) to secure my keyboard and prevent it from sliding.
• Arm positioning: Initially, my shoulders and elbows felt tired after longer sessions.
However, adding a second armrest (arranged through Dan) completely resolved this, and now the setup feels perfectly ergonomic.
The Positives
There’s so much to love about the Levus:
• The materials are top-notch, with a premium, sturdy feel. Everything is clearly designed to last.
• The customizability is outstanding. You can mount screens in virtually any position, incline the chair to different angles, and adapt the setup to suit your specific needs.
• The support from Levus staff is exceptional. Dan, in particular, provided ongoing advice on installation, customization ideas, and recommendations for complementary accessories. For instance, he gave me great tips on what monitors to buy and how to position them for optimal comfort.
The Bottom Line
The Levus Ultimate Workstation is not just a piece of furniture—it’s an elegant, customizable solution for anyone with significant ergonomic needs. While it does require some time and effort to set up and tweak, the payoff is a workspace that’s uniquely tailored to your needs. For me, it’s been a life-changing addition that allows me to work comfortably and productively despite my back issues.
If you’re looking for a beautifully designed and functional productivity solution, the Levus is an excellent choice. And with the ongoing support from the Levus team, you’ll have the guidance you need to make the most of your setup.
