Our verdict

The Jarvis's case is stability, not speed: a dual-motor lift that independent long-term reviews — including one after three years of daily use — consistently describe as the most rigid of the three, with no meaningful wobble at height. The tradeoff since Herman Miller absorbed the Fully brand is availability and flexibility: it's only sold direct now, the bring-your-own-desktop option is gone, and pricing has moved since its Fully-era days. If rigidity at height is the one thing you don't want to compromise on, it's still the reference point in this comparison.

Strengths and limitations

Pros

  • Dual motor (one per leg) gives an even lift that long-term reviewers, including a 3-year retest, consistently rate as the most rigid of the three
  • Strong multi-year track record — this is one of the more thoroughly long-term-tested desks in the category
  • Available in a wider range of tabletop materials (including bamboo) than the other two here

Cons

  • Slowest stated lift speed of the three at 1.5″/s
  • Since the Fully-to-Herman-Miller transition, the BYOD (bring-your-own-desktop) option has been discontinued and pricing has shifted from Fully-era listings
  • Not sold on Amazon — only through Herman Miller and Design Within Reach directly
