Cheap vs Expensive Standing Desks...Worth 15x More Money? 

Wow. Im impressed. This was a very well done video and I hugely thank you for giving the time to explain literally everything to think about when choosing a standing desk. I initially thought, *"Why are desks so expensive when the only thing it does is move up and down"* --- but you went in detail for everything. I really appreciate it. And thank you for having timestamps in the video!

Having used both, really expensive and cheap standing desks, the law of diminishing returns is very much in effect You will always pay a premium for better surface materials like solid walnut vs laminate but otherwise the desk itself fades into the background using it 40 hours a week

ABSOLUTELY LOVING the subtle humor in your videos Lol 😆😆 Please may I suggest a video making the case for standing desks? Are they worth the hassle given the prohibitive pricing for quality desks? Anyway keep doing what you do … making interesting and informative videos about office furniture lol!

Drama! You don’t need expensive desk. Most likely min requirement should be 48”L x 30”W to get multiple task done. Upon my research space matter the most.I own 59” x 30” electric desk and have sufficient space for standing ps5, 24” and ultra wide 34” lcd. You can completely ignore slight/accidentally shake of desk. It doesn’t feel like earthquake as these videos are describing. why spend $800 vs $150?

I got a custom size desk from a somewhat local company for €650, and it could very well be the most robust object in the entire house. I chose a top that pretty closely matches the floor and it looks fantastic.

Wow what a detailed video! I just decided to buy one today. Question, are these easy to assembly alone? is it hard to flip them over once the assembly is complete?

Thanks for your reviews. There are two standing desk brands I wish you would review. 1st is the iMovr standing desk base and or complete desk. The second is Ergonofis standing desk. Thanks.

I want a desk that is adjustable, but I don't believe I will ever use it standing up. I also want it to be sturdy. Any recommendations are welcome.

_So, here's a review that might be worth something, reviewing sound levels (decibel) of standing desk motors as they're lowered & raised._

At 1:50 how about buying a cheap one with split top and find a local woodworker to add a nice custom made top? Thanks for the video!

Are there Standing Desks that do not wobble at maximum height? Is it with 4 legs?

I got myself an uplift desk with an ikea kitchen table. Super stable, great size, and if I remember correctly a lot cheaper than some of the major brands. Just took some drilling work.

What about corner standing desks? These aren’t much mentioned in most guides to standing desks. I imagine it’s hard to ship those with a one piece top. But these tend to be more expensive at the mid-tier companies

My real ask is... about the fixed desk! I couldn't care less about these electric standing desk, but man, is it hard to find similar quality fixed desk that aren't crap (or ugly). Any recommendations?

I've been trying to choose a good very stable desk, but unfortunately the best brands (uplift, vertdesk, newheights) don't ship to europe :( Uplift can ship to my country but shipping cost was calculated to $700. The autonomous brand is unclear, the IKEA Idasen has a very basic controller which I don't like and the rest don't look stable on the reviews.

I just want to know who and why would you put over 75lbs to 100lbs of weight on a desk in the first place

If you have standing desk do you happen to have control layout like this: Display, Up, Down, 1, 2, ,3,4, M? Just wondering because so many of these same desks seems to come from same factory with same controller... Like the one what I'm using right now and what I see on this video. Some times they changer order or these buttons/displays but they still look the same.

what speed is good? I am confused on the speed rating on the desk available in NZ, most of the desk are in range of 30 to 38mm speed, please suggest what speed is good and what brand is good

do you guys do international shipping (to Europe) of the vertdesk desks? I can't seem to find it on the website

Do carpeted floors affect stability. My flexispot standing desk wobbles back and forth terribly on the carpet.

Those amazon ones are like $100 now, and can be had with a one piece top. Contemplating getting one.

what are your thoughts on the Secretlab Magnus Pro desk?

The differences feel marginal.Depends on what the consumer values and how much they're willing to pay for that. I just need a desk that I can adjust. My needs are minimal, so I guess I'm in the Cheap section of the video.

I'm not interested in the standing Deskbook I can't find and not adjustable or adjustable desk for under $650 dollars that goes as low as 26 inches--I know some of the mid priced and the above standing desks go down between 22 to 24 inches. I have been using for 10 or 12 years a rolling design big enough for one computer, with a glass top, of round tubular construction by Studio Designs, that can be lowered to 26 inches, which is perfect, although it might be better to go even a few inches lower if I sit on the sofa rather than my executive office chair--actually a top end chair I bought from BTOD a few years ago. I keep the chair lowered all the way down, or else my feet don't touch the floor. The stand I have was painted gray, but I see ones offered on certain websites that are silver--I assume unpainted--but the same design, except they have a slide out mouse tray on the side that people say is not very stable and difficult to put on, so I would probably leave that off. The thing is, with the wheels and all if you move it back and forth it will rock a little bit, and if you put pressure on the front edge it will flex slightly, but there's no danger it structurally failing as far as I can tell. I can just move it wherever I want when I get up or put it to the decide if I'm not using it, etc. I want to get the second one for a new computer and use this older computer from a legacy app that I can update. Unfortunately, on the websites that still show the stand, it is actually unavailable, and the manufacturer's website does not show so it, I believe it is discontinued. In fact, I just got a refund from a third-party seller on a large a company's website (not Amazon) because it was actually unavailable. There's one other listing on another website but I wouldn't trust it, and the last that I can find are two available from an eBay seller who has overall a good record but in the last year has two were three negative reviews because they never got what they ordered or any communication, so... There're other brands of cheap rolling stands of similar size, if not design, including one that is glass top and I see goes down as low as 20 inches, but the reviews indicate they are pretty poorly constructed--it is only $75.

anychance you'll review magnus pro desks?>

how about ikea idasen?

Definitely not impressed since it costs $2600? Omg should expect to pay no higher than $800?

Why is your desk so expensive, most people won't buy from you!

Is there such thing as a non electric standing desk ?🤖

If your worried about it tipling your cup over get a cup rhat actually holds the water. If your so worred about dropping your monior why not tape it or just put it up against a wall so it doesnt wabble???? Your insane

I just do not see a point of this review. You get what you pay for. You pay $200 to get a basic desk, which works perfectly for students for a few years of use. You pay $500 to get a decent desk for a home office, which will last decades with moderate usage. You pay $2000 for a business grade desk with free adjustment and maintenance for corporate offices and expect it to operate worry free for a set period of time.
