If you're a do-it-yourselfer on a budget and are looking to upgrade to a motorized standing desk, you should consider one of the many electric standing desk frames on Amazon. The cheapest dual-motor unit I found, which can hold up to 225 pounds, costs only $200 and works with all sorts of different desk tops. Chances are you have a stationary desk at home, so why spend hundreds of dollars more on an all-in-one unit when you can pick up just the motorized frame?

Hello everyone! We made a follow-up video, mentioning some concerns and comparing it against an all-in-one motorized standing desk from FlexiSpot. You can watch it here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vnA5zyxkWL0.html

Great video, thank you for sharing. I have wanted a sit/stand desk for a while now but could not justify the cost. This makes it possible.

How stable is the desk when it is raised? Is there any wobble (side-to-side) motion?

@Cannonbo 2 года назад

this question needs more upvotes. cheap usually means less stable so it would be nice to know.

I found some that look nicer because I didn’t want to go with “cheap”. Plus, I am going to build a copy of the Lian Li out of wood so it’ll be heavy.

@e.conwaybryansr.8626 3 года назад

Thanks for sharing! The double motor on the desk is a plus for me. The lack of a cable mgmt tray is surprising, but between Lowe’s and Walmart I can fashion something. The tabletop looked very much like the trending one from ikea. I thought about taking the top off of my current writing table to use, but the top from ikea is more aesthetically pleasing. So, now that I’ve finished the general painting; it’s on to the accent wall and place my Amazon and ikea orders. God bless and stay safe. 👍🏾😊

@shomariboulet Год назад

Hey im currently looking for a similar table top to the one he has and the one your mentioning sounds promising, but I cant find the tabletop, can u link me the one you were talking about?

@e.conwaybryansr.8626 Год назад

@@shomariboulet I didn't buy the tabletop for my office...decided to use my old writing desk that i've had for a lot of years. The tabletop I saw was on the ikea website. Also, I recall seeing some great looking tops at Lowe's in the kitchen counter top section...theirs were heavier (in weight) and cost more than the ikea table tops. Good success in your efforts.

You answered my question. I have this super tall king size bed that I want a bed table for. Tablets, drinks, smoke sesh, etc... With a 7' wide bed it has to be custom made. Trust me, I've been looking for a king side bed table. Only one I found was nearly $1,500. Hard pass! Glad you mentioned that it can be modified. Wasn't sure if the motor cables would be long enough. Glad I found your video. Thanks! Note: They offer the option of cable management baskets. Not super cute, but could help.

Searching for "Ikea countertop" lists a variety of tops that I think should work, ranging from $50 -$250 depending on how nice the wood is. I'm surprised that wasn't mentioned in the video or comments, that I saw. I'm seriously considering doing this, after seeing how well it worked.

What a beautiful DIY you’ve done here for yourself. I’m super impressed. I’m not sure this approach will work for me, well at this very moment in time, maybe in the future tho 💯. I’m curious how much the kitchen table top you found at IKEA ran you? As all in for a fully inclusive standing desk, maybe even one that comes with cable management, looks to run about $499.99-> upwards of $2500. Actually I think there are even pricier options out there too 🤣 Great video… 🤔 did I say that already 😉 🙋🏼‍♀️

@ThanhNguyen-bu8xp 2 года назад

This one is quite easy to assemble and setup, even with the non-DIY person. Also you can reuse your existing table top which can save you some money. I am going for one similar too and will arrive soon,too curious to see it. :)
