Standing Desk Suggestions?

September 23, 2022, 07:05 AM

Working from home the last x2+ Years. I grabbed a gaming desk to set up a home office. But stand a lot while on calls and what not. I'm thinking of getting a standing desk. One of the motorized ones that goes up or down with some presets.

Anyone have any suggestions? The desk I have now is 32D x 63W. I'd like to have something with similar foot print as I have x2 monitor and one of them is HUGE 34" & other is a 22" I think. Plus monitors on the desk for music, spot for laptop, etc.

Thanks!!

I bought a Fezibo off amazon at the beginning of the pandemic.

I was not fond of the fake wood top and needed a little more space so I picked up a butcher block countertop from Lowes. It mounted right to the Fezibo frame and the desk is even better now.

Do, Or do not. There is no try.

We have a few [manual rise/lower] that are made by Flexispot.
Doesn't look like Amazon carries that model anymore, but they do have an electric, but can't comment on those.

The Fezibo looks similar to the Flexispot units we have.

Edit: Ours are desktop units that sit on top of the desk, not a full desk replacement.

My wife works from home, and we picked up a Fezibo motorized desk from Amazon about 6 months ago. I got it together fairly quickly, and she loves it. It's cheaply made for sure, but it works great for what she needs it for.

"Odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy."
"I did," said Ford, "it is."
"So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't the people get rid of the lizards?"
"It honestly doesn't occur to them. They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates the government they want."
"You mean they actually vote for the lizards."
"Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course."
"But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?"
"Because if they didn't vote for a lizard, then the wrong lizard might get in."

UpLift is the Cadillac of standing desks. On certain sized desks they have an option to add a hammock underneath

My neighbor gave me an UpLift and it’s been great. Very sturdy and well built.

I use a Varidesk riser on my office desk. Lets you utilize the setup while either sitting or standing.

It's not motorized, but it requires minimal effort to raise and lower.

I bought an iMovr model, made in USA, and have been very happy with build quality and sturdiness. It was very easy to assemble, no tools required.

It wasn’t cheap but no regrets.

Gave you?! Jeez.. I need a neighbor like that. Just priced one out on their side and looks like with a coupon will be just under a grand. I figured it would be about that for the size I need.

Got this one on Amazon as a short list as it would give me a place to put my speaker monitors up out of the way.

Linky to the desk thingy

But building out a 70" UpLift is about the same price with their $100 coupon on their website.

Standing desk suggestion. Don’t do it! I am kidding. I could not utilize them very long at a time at my last two jobs. Played too much tennis & league softball over the younger days. My ankles and knees are now letting me know that they are not pleased with my youthful experiences.
