I’m happy with my Uplift desk. I’m tall so I use it at its highest position and it’s plenty sturdy. I would buy it again.

I don't have any experience with uplift, but when I was shopping for them, the Autonomous was less expensive.

I did buy the cable tray, but it was inadequate for my cable needs. Not its fault, but just something to note.

I have no complaints with the Autonomous desk. I got the standard one (doesn't have quite the height range, but I didn't need it either). I have two Kali LP-6 monitors (15 pounds each) a 35 inch Samsung ultrawide monitor (like 20+ pounds) the shelf (another 40), 2 mac books, a handful of instruments, the shelf, a midi controller and another synth on the keyboard. All in all I'm probably pushing 130# on the desk and it doesn't really seem to care. Add that to the desk itself, and we're probably talking 170 or 180#. Still fine.

Also, dang I never did the math on the weight of all that stuff. Sheesh.

I use an Autonomous desk. 70 inches wide, goes to 48 or something like that, and I added a 7 inch tall metal shelf for my monitors (and my monitor). Added a fairly deep tray for my keyboard and a synth. It all works great. Probably $500 for everything.

I got the Realspace Magellan Electric.
Goes from 30 to 47 inches, has 4 memory positions (full up, full down, 2 user defined)
Moves smooth, and has a couple of USB ports underneath.
Picked it up and put together the same day. Running 520 right now.

Just don't cheapskate it for one using a crank.... that's what I did and I never crank this thing up to standing ever LOL. Far as I'm concerned this a sittin' desk.

PrimeCables dual motor frame with Ikea Karlby countertop as a desktop. Couldn't recommend the combo any higher if I tried. I love it.

I’ve got a crank one. I like it because it gives me a little break from whatever I’m doing. It can be a little unergonomic though.

I've got an Uplift V2 and it's sturdy as hell. I think the base model is just outside your budget, however, but IMO worth every penny.

Nice question, I am the expert in this field, coz I am working in a manufacturer of adjustable desk. Most of the desks are OEM products which made in China, even some brand sellers buy the desks from the same manufacturer, just use different design and customization.

The core parts are the motors, electric control system, and the machining precision. It is not easy to tell which one is the Most worthy, because you have to consider the quality and the price.

Just remember, buy the dual motors desk, ignore the single motor desk, if possible, try the desk to check if the desk can go up and down smoothly. one more thing, check the total weight of the desk frame, usually, more heavy, more sturdy.

I bought a Husky work desk at Home Depot. It’s adjustable, at its highest setting I can use as a standing desk. I am 6’

desk

Also came here to recommend an IdÄsen desk. I have two that are quite sturdy and reliable; though they haven't been on the market for long enough to truly say they're BIFL.

I recently made one for my wife. Bought the legs from monoprice for 200 and attached a top. I customized the top a bit but you could literally choose any desktop sized piece of wood and screw it on, was very simple

Fully.com. Really nice products priced appropriately. I have the Capsico chair and their widest /tallest standing desk in black laminate.. I’m 6’6” and it was the brand that would actually accommodate my standing height. Life changing.

Just get stand alone standing desk legs (like here) and any slab of wood you want. It only took me a few hours to build once I had the bits and I have never built anything in my life.

Here is my desk: (random pic, was showing a friend how I was reorganising stuff).

I have a Varidesk. It’s very sturdy. The one I have is extremely heavy.

Really happy with my Uplift two years in. Thing is a tank, great design, lots of options, solid company. Maybe a bit more than a basic but I bought this as my second after my other brand crapped out with no replacement parts.

I ended up getting an adjustable height Husky work table from Home Depot. Half the price and twice as sturdy. The tabletop is a 1 inch thick slab of wood.

That's why I got rid of mine, TBH.

Too big/heavy.

Will be investing in replacing the whole desk instead.

I am in Japan so I got the top from Rakuten (its like amazon), but there must be some form of wood shop everywhere.

I often see recommendations of large desks. I prefer a minimal footprint myself. I’ve setup a sit/stand/bed desk that’s just 60cmx45cm with a monitor arm holding a 24inch monitor.

Look up Bontec on Amazon, it’s an all metal desk in black.

Uplift and Fully would be my top picks. I ended up with Uplift and am happy so far.

I got mine from ikea and it’s been 3 years and still holding strong

Stand up and do 10 jumping jacks every half an hour of computer use.

I went with Vertdesk V3. Great quality parts. Desktop and steel made in America. Motor in Germany. Very high quality build for a similar price as the Chinese made brands.

been using the standing table i bought from flexispot before covid. it is still 100% functional, all the materials from the particle board, the stand and the motor are still working perfectly. one of the proudest buys i have made in my life.

Ikea.

flexispot - build is ok naman...i just didn't like the aftersales (ph) service, nagkaprob ako sa isang product nila

That post has only three recommendations and barely any upvotes.

If you haven’t come across it yet, Deskhaus is the best. I’ve had one for about a year now, and it’s more stable than any other standing desk I’ve ever used. Can’t recommend it enough!

From the various YouTube desk/office tours I've watched, the Uplift brand may be overpriced. However, I got one first and then my wife decided to get one. Her reasoning was that it was one of the only options claiming to be nontoxic (we were new parents at the time).

Price aside, worked well and consistently now for over three years.

But what exactly she doesn’t like about it? You can always get the legs and motor system from flexispot and shop somewhere else for the top.

If you y'all prefer something with a little more aesthetic, kind of like the herman miller one:

I guess the extreme table stability is desired by all of you because the monitor wobbles a lot even when the table top moves ever so slightly.

Have you considered putting the monitors on a dedicated standing desk that is mechanically disconnected from the desk you touch with your hands and elbows ? Your proximal desk stability requirements will be relaxed.

For Europeans:

• FlexiSpot (coming soon): https://www.flexispot.com/flexispot-odin-4-leg-standing-desk
• Aum-World: https://www.aum-world.com/products/pietement-table-de-reunion-assis-debout-electrique-reglable-en-hauteur-quad
• Ergomaster: https://ergomaster.eu/wtr01-electrically-adjustable-frame/

Personally, I'm very interested in the FlexiSpot, which is expected to launch in January in Europe for 900 EUR, frame-only. More info:

• https://www.reddit.com/r/StandingDesk/comments/ypke0r/flexispot_4leg_standing_desk_e7q_coming_soon

Someone should make an updated list. I know Flexispot has added 4-legged options in the past 2 years. I'm sure there are a few more now that a have a price that starts below $1K.

I've been considering a stand up desk for some time and I might go with Flexispot after reading all comments. Thanks.

I also highly recommend you a Flexispot M2B,as nitewolf86 said,it goes straight up and down,which is a great design better than Varidesk and vivo,and it juts take me $250 after I used their code,I love it!!

Hey there, u/tiitoor!
Have you considered the Cooper Standing Desk Converter?! The Customer Care Team here at Fully has your back, give us a call at 888-508-3725, we're standing by to answer any questions you might have about transitioning to an active workstation!

One of my office mate had a Varidesk. I had a try before. The Varidesk lifts with spring action, which is much harder to raise and lower and it’s noisy when lock into place.

Highly recommend Flexispot Classicriser. It is a far better product. It has a straight up and down lifting design, making it more stable than Veridesk Pro Plus at standing height. It also has a lot more desktop space. It’s $100 cheaper!! I love it :)
