2026 status of this matchup: both drawers left Amazon. The Jarvis bamboo drawer followed its desk into the Herman Miller store when Fully wound down, and UPLIFT’s half-circle drawer — whose old Amazon listing now sits without a buy box — sells through upliftdesk.com like the rest of the UPLIFT catalog. The comparison still matters if you’re configuring either desk: UPLIFT’s drawer is the more practical design (lock, shelf, deeper storage), Jarvis’s the prettier one (bamboo face that matches its tops). And if you just want an under-desk drawer with Amazon checkout for any desk, the one we verified live is the Stand Up Desk Store add-on drawer linked below.
The Jarvis under-desk drawer, Herman Miller era
The Jarvis drawer’s appeal was always aesthetic coherence: bamboo front matching Jarvis bamboo tops, slim profile, tool-light install. That carries into the Herman Miller store today, with the era’s trade-offs intact — shallow depth best suited to notebooks, pens, and cables rather than headphones or hard drives, and no lock. Configure it with the desk at the HM store; buying it standalone rarely makes sense at its price.
The UPLIFT locking drawer, V3 era
UPLIFT’s large half-circle drawer remains the function pick: a lock for shared spaces, an internal organizer shelf, and depth that swallows the desk-drawer archetypes (chargers, meds, snacks, spare cables). It bolts under any UPLIFT top in minutes, and — like everything UPLIFT — now sells direct at upliftdesk.com rather than Amazon, alongside the rest of the ecosystem we covered in our UPLIFT V3 review. If the drawer decision is part of a bigger Jarvis-vs-UPLIFT decision, our Jarvis vs UPLIFT L-Shaped Standing Desk (2026): Which Is Better? verdict applies here in miniature: UPLIFT for function and ecosystem, Jarvis for design language.
