r/StandingDesk

I bought a cheaper standing desk a couple years ago and it’s starting to show it.

It still works, but it’s a bit shaky at full height, makes more noise than it used to, and just doesn’t feel like something I’ll keep for much longer.

Trying to do this properly this time and not repeat the same mistake.

I’ve been looking at Uplift and a few others in that range. FlexiSpot again crossed my mind but I’m not sure I want to risk ending up in the same place.

Also came across Vernal while digging around, but don’t know much about how they hold up long term but it fits my budget and came across their stability test report AMA.

Not really looking for the “best” desk, just something I won’t have to think about replacing again in a few years.

First time standing desk buyer. I work from home and looking for something to use on a daily basis. I want at least 55" wide to fit my laptop and my extra monitor. It needs to go down to at least 23" desk height. I want to have some sort of cord management and I would like a drawer. I was really hoping to spent less than $1000.

What brands are decent quality? Currently looking at Vernal, Flexispot, Uplift and Desky.

Any Earth day seals or promo codes?

Probably leaning towards Vernal and Flexispot just due to lower price point.

Should I stick with a laminate top or invest in something like solid wood?

Hey folks,

I’m about to pull the trigger on the FlexiSpot E5 (chipboard top) and it’s coming to around C$449 in Canada.

Just checking here before I order does anyone got any active coupons, referral codes, or know of any ongoing sales that might bring the price down a bit?

Would really appreciate any leads. Thanks! 👍

I’m deciding between the Uplift V3 frame and the 4‑leg frame. The desk will be used almost entirely in the seated position. Purchasing a standing desk for potential future use.

My biggest issue with my current Ikea Galant (C‑frame) is monitor shake while typing, and I want to avoid that as much as possible.

The setup will be three 27" monitors (dual + single mounts) on a 72" × 30" desk.

I’m also unsure which desktop to choose:

• Is the 1" laminate strong and durable enough for daily WFH use and for securely holding monitor mounts?
• Is the 1.5" butcher block worth the additional cost (+$200–$300)?

TIA

I'm a long-term standing desk user, I've had a humanscale float for years (gas lift). My new monitor is the Dell Ultrasharp 43" and it weighs in at just over 13KG. It's on my desk at the moment which it can cope with but it makes adjusting the desk one handed really difficult.

I'd like a wall mount with a short-arm; I've typically used Duronics. They don't have anything that will take the weight. Most arms only go to 8KG.

My wall is solid stone so no problem with the wall taking it, I need something that gives height adjust but rotate won't be necessary on this screen ;)

Any one got any reccomendations ?

Thanks

Hi all,

I'm in a bit of a weird spot. I have a budget with a max of $350-$400 for a height adjustable, standing desk setup. I would prefer an L-Shaped Desk as I think it will accommodate the monitors/space nicely.

Desks I've looked at:

Ergear 63"x55" L-Shaped Desk

ExaDesk 63"x55" L-Shaped Desk

Flexispot E2 (I know this isn't an L shaped but it came recommended to me)

Huanuo 63" Standing Desk

I'm looking for any recommendations. Big plus if they have the option to mount my computer on the underside of the desk.

I'm thinking of doing some customization on my standard wooden desk, which was originally made with some custom measures for me (i.e. keyboard tray at elbow level, support for monitor at eye level).

I can't afford one of those mechanical ones that lift and lower on command, but I'm quite handy with woodworking, so I thought I could make some sort of fixed form vertical extension, for monitors+keyboard tray. I have it sort of planned out, but I'm wondering, since it could end up being a bit of a hazzle to switch positions, if working for long hours while standing is actually counter-productive and would end up giving me a new type of pain hehe.

I thought of even switching to full standing, work + gaming + move watching, incorporating the 2-monitor arm support that I use already, and if I ever want to sit while watching something or doing pen and paper stuff I can have my monitor above me and look up, sort of sci-fi style.

Looking for recommendations for a standing desk setup. I have a corner in an extra bedroom that has approximately a foot print for a 28in x 75inch for the desk. I have an iMac and 2 screens so I need space for 3 screens. Something reliable. Also I would like a cabinet or storage built in or one of those roller cabinets to put under neath. Also need a chair something wood good Neck support when needing to rest. Any ideas? I saw this one

Quick question for the tall folks out there. I'm 6'8", and pretty much every desk I come across sits at 27"-29" tall, which just doesn't cut it for me. I need at least 31", though 32"+ would be ideal. Width-wise, I've got 64" to work with, so anywhere from 60"-63" would fit the space nicely.

I've been thinking about going the Desky route, specifically the Dual Ergo Edge Sit Stand Desk, but I'm on the fence about whether it'll actually solve my problem. Budget-wise, I'm hoping to stay under $800, though I could stretch it a bit if something really checks all the boxes. Kind of frustrating that being tall comes with a premium price tag, but hey, that's nothing new lol.

Pretty sure the answer is "no" here, but I figured why not ask this reddit group anyway. I'm wanting to buy an under-the-desk treadmill or walking pad, for use at my work-from-home job. Not 2-in-1 (I won't be running) and foldable is not required. I already own a standing-desk attachment (for my 2 large computer monitors) so I am all set there. But my only "wish list" features for a treadmill pad are:

1. has a steps counter that displays your # of steps (not distance, not mileage, not duration - but actual number of steps that your feet took)
2. no app required, I can just jump on, hit start, and it goes (doesn't require me to download anything or sign up for an account on the device's website)
3. has a built-in power switch & controls, right on the unit....so in case the remote control suddenly dies, the entire device isn't also unusable
4. has a handle-bar (foldable or otherwise) or some kind of handles or rails to grab for stability, if needed

Does anyone know of a brand/model of desk treadmill/walking pad that checks all (or most) of these boxes? If so please drop a link for share your opinions below. Thanks!

I haven't seen a cheaper desk that goes as low or similar
