The StandDesk was produced by millennials, is marketed right at millennials, and has actually been gobbled up by millennials in impressive quantities. While it carries a ten-year guarantee (the longest of any kind of Chinese-made base), in this instance it’s not always a trusted indicator of the anticipated helpful life of the lifting columns. But for the rate, the StandDesk is a terrific lower-cost choice to the UpLift, Jarvis and also other Chinese-made workdesks. Despite its stability problems this is a much much better product than the Autonomous SmartDesk or IKEA Bekant can ever want to be, as well as a good value in general. It’s the mid-priced offering in the broad group of Chinese-made desks that is gaining clients from both its less expensive and pricier peers.

StandDesk Building And Construction, Configuration, and Devices

Developing the desk is rather simple if you follow the in-depth guidelines. Every one of the screws, bolts, washers, as well as spring washing machines been available in different bags that are noted with their location: tabletop, framework, and spares. There’s a consisted of hex tool for fastening every one of the bolts right into the frame, or, appear a hex little bit into your power tool– just be careful not to over-tighten.

Every one of the components have a premium quality surface to them with rounded edges to stay clear of cut hands. Below is a shot of all the screws that are attached to the leg assembly– it’s not going anywhere!

Standdesk-Leg

The foot setting up additionally includes height-adjustable turning equipments to maintain the front-to-back activity of the desk, which was very useful for the carpeted office floor. I’m likewise using a floor mat to shield the carpet from chair wheel damage at sitting elevation, as well as push the chair when I’m transitioning to standing elevation.

Standdesk-Foot

The deluxe controller was worth the investment. The switches are all variable pressure configured, indicating the backwards and forwards arrows will certainly adjust the elevation by 1/10th of an inch with a solitary press, or constantly adjust the elevation by around 0.7 inches per 2nd if you hold the button for 2 secs. The memory switches are similar in style: press to remember the height setup, or hold the button down for five seconds to store a brand-new elevation worth. I’m making use of switch 1 for my resting position and also button 4 for my standing position, which provides me 2 and also 3 for anything I might require in the future.

Utilizing my Standdesk

I have actually been utilizing the new workdesk for a few weeks as well as have jotted down my first perceptions:

The electric motors are quiet but can be heard in the next room over. It takes possibly 25 secs for the desk to completely change from resting to standing based upon my presets.
I make use of an Ergotron side-by-side check arm (especially this LX version), creating the desk to obtain a little rough when I shift my weight versus the key-board. In hindsight, I should have purchased the bar upgrade for my workdesk after establishing the weight of my monitors. If you prepare to do a dual monitor setup, obtain the crossbar.

Because gravity presses the discs in a human back, I require to increase the desk greater in the early morning and also lower it in the evening.

An anti-fatigue mat is absolutely crucial for long period of time standing. I acquired an Octagonal mat from SmartCells, using rubber “cells” that are envisioned listed below.

Efficiency

Regardless of any type of problems I might have had with the handset or the cookie-cutter layout, basically all of those issues removed as soon as I actually came down to using this point.

I didn’t believe it was even feasible, the StandDesk in some way handles to be also much more steady than the Jarvis, both at resting and also standing heights. Most days I like to run my Jarvis at max elevation while pressed versus my wall surface; not always because it’s that shaky, yet even if I want as much security as I can obtain.

The StandDesk one ups the gambit even additionally, showing to be equally as steady on its own at standing elevation as the Jarvis is with wall support. This is all without the company’s bar addition, which they assert adds much more stability when bought as a part of the bundle deal.When it concerns weight tolerance, the StandDesk shares yet even more stats with the Jarvis, being ranked for up to 350 lbs of weight capability.

I have actually been making use of the desk for regarding 3 weeks now for daily work (and also adhering to standing workdesk finest techniques), whether it’s inputting out reviews similar to this one from our desktop or a laptop periodically. The desk stands up well against non-coastered drinks, as well as the surface on top of the desk still really feels just as smooth and also slick as the day I opened it despite days of sweaty wrists wresting on it as well as multiple wipe downs with a dustcloth.

Though I never ever intentionally try to dent any type of desks as well hard, during some lighter tests (tossing a set of keys onto it from a range, for instance), it still stood up without way too many visible indications of damages.

When I measured the noise outcome of the desk while it increased from a resting position to standing and back again, it was by much the quietest we’ve evaluated. I might hardly get it to make greater than concerning 9.5 dB of sound, so if your greatest concern is the whirr of your motor, this is most definitely the one for you.

Customer support

Currently, generally I don’t consist of much concerning the customer care support of any kind of offered business, just due to the fact that I feel that in general if an item functions the way its supposed to, I should not ever have a factor to call them in the first place. And also while I want I could claim that was the case during my experience with StandDesk, I just can’t complete this evaluation without discussing the numerous, apparently limitless troubles I ran into trying to obtain my workdesk created.

For beginners, the desk I was sent really did not have any kind of memory phone consisted of originally, which suggested I had no chance of in fact regulating the up/down function on the desk itself. I called StandDesk regarding this problem, who returned to me around a day later on with an apology and a guarantee that a new one would certainly be shipped out shortly.

Standdesk testimonial handset

The resource of all our issues …
About four days later a mobile showed up in the mail. The handset at first switched on, however it wasn’t long before I observed that none of the programmable buttons worked, neither did the down button, but for some reason the “memory” button dealt with the down function just great. I spoke to the business again, and also they excused the mixup and claimed they would have a new panel as well as control box out to me within the week.

Over two weeks later on my new panel as well as control box showed up. As soon as I mounted them both the desk ultimately began working the way it was intended to, however not after almost a month of waiting and back and forth with a business that could not keep in mind to ship a core part of their item inside the same box from the get-go.

Things to Take into consideration

Regardless of its bankable functions, this stand up desk additionally has its own disadvantages. Because no singular stand desk could capture every one of the attributes that you may require, you may consider these in your decision-making.

Absence of a Bar as standard

Not having a maintaining crossbar is definitely not a deal-breaker, particularly thinking about several of our various other favorite desks such as the Totally Jarvis additionally do not have one. As a matter of fact, this workdesk does have one if you desire, however it is a paid add-on (extra on this later on too).

The crossbar is seen by some as an obstacle, making it tougher to position your legs easily below the desk. Others, on the other hand, discover that they give included security, frequently essential when workdesks are fully expanded.

We have not check out any type of complaints of the stability of this desk, so we do not think its something to really be concerned about, although if you really wanted a workdesk with a crossbar after that we advise you take a look at the Varidesk ProDesk 60 Electric.

StandDesk does supply a different add-on crossbar that you can include to the workdesk yourself, simply for an added $49.95.

Security

The stability of a standing workdesk is just one of the most important facets of these desks. Without a secure workdesk you’ll discover it difficult to focus, which might lead to you coming to be less interested in making use of the desk at standing height. To obtain the best return on your investment, you’ll want to more than happy when utilizing the desk.

Due To The Fact That the StandDesk Simple is the initial workdesk that I have evaluated with an optional cross support, I will certainly break down my stability examinations into two areas. Both examinations will include the common front to back rocking examination as well as a delegated appropriate wobble. The initial will certainly lack the cross support as well as the secondly will certainly be with it. Simply to keep in mind, StandDesk.co says that the enhancement of the cross support can increase stability by approximately 15%. I have no idea how they thought of that number.

Without Cross Assistance

Left to Right: The wobble test was a various circumstance. StandDesk Simple was the second workdesk that I tested that tottered at the bottom with weight on the desktop. The very first was the IKEA Bekant. By the time it reached 36″ the shaking activity was bad. Yet point it would certainly impact your job.

With Cross Support

Front to Back: Including the cross assistance does not influence the shaking activity. The StandDesk Simple started to experienced a rocking activity at 36″. By 41″ the shaking motion misbehaved.

Delegated Right: Including the cross support to the StandDesk improved the wobble motion for lower heights. With the cross assistance the wobble activity really did not start till you reached 35″. By 39″ the wobble movement ended up being negative.

Note: It’s very vital with flexible standing workdesks to fully tighten up all hardware. If there is equipment that is not entirely tight, the motion experienced when encompassed standing elevation will be exaggerated. This is particularly real with a desk structure that consists of 32 bolts, there are much a lot of points at which the desk has an opportunity to move.

Final thought

Like all the Chinese bases we’ve evaluated in our labs, we need to narrow our suggestion on the StandDesk Pro to much shorter users with narrower desktop computers, as the stability simply isn’t there for a huge mass elevated high off the ground. American-made desks will be much better suited to these applications, as well as for a fairly evident reason. Virtually all American-made bases are made in US factories that are possessed by Swedish, Danish or German firms that developed this sector, as well as their typical people are a great deal taller than the typical Asian consumer, so they started making longer-stroke lifting legs a long time earlier. As well as they have far more robot automation, laser-cutting equipment, and also sheer experience making standing desk bases, needless to say.

However if you’re not also tall, don’t have an inordinate amount of heavy equipment on your desktop computer, as well as do not require too wide of a workdesk, the StandDesk Pro will offer you great bang for your buck.

All that may alter with Yu’s promised StandDesk Pro 2.0 design that he anticipates to launch sometime in the future. Originally we were informed we ‘d see it by June 2018. Greater than a year later it has yet to emerge, as well as Yu states he’s had problem obtaining the product quality he needs out of numerous Chinese factories he’s attempted collaborating with. The new layout is supposedly going to be a lot easier to construct as well as have a heftier bar style, among other refinements. He claims the brand-new base will certainly be offered in both a “T-Leg” and also “C-Leg” arrangement, easing our concern about side-load worrying on the lifting columns.

If this brand-new base ever pertains to market we’ll update you right here. However we’re not holding our breath any kind of longer as one of the most recent news on the business is that Yu closed the little Los Angeles office and has actually transferred it to join with all its various other workers in southeast Asia.

In the meantime, a new $399 standing desk with outstanding efficiency has actually been introduce through the new joint endeavor between US-based iMovR and China-based Eureka, the i1 electrical standing workdesk. While limited in size as well as color options, it has actually taken the mantle away from StandDesk’s long-ago condition as the best standing workdesk under $400.

The StandDesk was produced by millennials, is marketed straight at millennials, as well as has actually been gobbled up by millennials in remarkable quantities. While it lugs a ten-year guarantee (the lengthiest of any Chinese-made base), in this case it’s not always a dependable indicator of the anticipated valuable life of the training columns. However, for the rate, the StandDesk is a fantastic lower-cost option to the UpLift, Jarvis and other Chinese-made workdesks. In spite of its security problems this is a far much better item than the Autonomous SmartDesk or IKEA Bekant can ever intend to be, and also a good value on the whole. It’s the mid-priced offering in the broad classification of Chinese-made workdesks that is swaying consumers from both its less expensive as well as more expensive peers.

There’s a consisted of hex tool for attaching all of the bolts into the structure, or, appear a hex bit right into your power device– just be careful not to over-tighten.

I’m also using a floor mat to shield the rug from chair wheel damage at sitting elevation, as well as press the chair when I’m transitioning to standing elevation.

Standdesk-Foot

The deluxe controller deserved the financial investment. The switches are all variable stress programmed, indicating the up and down arrowheads will change the height by 1/10th of an inch with a solitary press, or continuously change the height by around 0.7 inches per second if you hold the switch for two seconds. The memory buttons are similar in design: push to recall the elevation setup, or hold the button down for five seconds to keep a brand-new elevation value.

Due to the fact that gravity compresses the discs in a human back, I require to raise the desk greater in the morning as well as lower it in the evening.

An anti-fatigue floor covering is absolutely essential for long duration standing. I purchased an Octagonal floor covering from SmartCells, utilizing rubber “cells” that are envisioned listed below.

Efficiency

In spite of any type of troubles I might have had with the mobile or the cookie-cutter design, virtually every one of those problems gotten rid of as soon as I really came down to using this point.

Most days I like to run my Jarvis at max elevation while pushed against my wall surface; not necessarily since it’s that unsteady, yet just because I want as much security as I can get.

The StandDesk one ups the gambit also additionally, proving to be equally as steady on its own at standing height as the Jarvis is with wall support. This is all without the business’s crossbar addition, which they declare includes even more security when acquired as a part of the bundle deal.When it involves weight resistance, the StandDesk shares yet much more statistics with the Jarvis, being ranked for approximately 350 pounds of weight capacity.

I might hardly get it to make more than concerning 9.5 dB of sound, so if your biggest worry is the whirr of your electric motor, this is definitely the one for you.

Client service

Currently, typically I do not consist of much concerning the customer care support of any kind of offered company, only due to the fact that I really feel that generally if a product works the method its expected to, I should not ever before have a reason to call them to begin with. And also while I wish I might say that held true during my experience with StandDesk, I merely can not finish this review without discussing the many, apparently countless issues I ran into attempting to obtain my desk put together.

For beginners, the desk I was sent really did not have any memory handset included originally, which indicated I had no other way of in fact controlling the up/down function on the desk itself. I spoke to StandDesk concerning this problem, that returned to me around a day later on with an apology and a promise that a brand-new one would certainly be shipped out soon.

Note: It’s really important with adjustable standing desks to fully tighten all hardware. If there is equipment that is not entirely limited, the activity experienced when encompassed standing height will be overemphasized. This is specifically true with a desk framework that consists of 32 screws, there are much too many points at which the desk has a possibility to relocate.

Verdict

Like all the Chinese bases we have actually tested in our labs, we have to tighten our suggestion on the StandDesk Pro to shorter individuals with narrower desktop computers, as the stability just isn’t there for a huge mass boosted high off the ground. American-made desks will certainly be better fit to these applications, as well as for a rather evident reason. Virtually all American-made bases are made in United States manufacturing facilities that are had by Swedish, Danish or German firms that created this sector, and also their ordinary citizens are a great deal taller than the average Oriental customer, so they began making longer-stroke lifting legs a long period of time ago. As well as they have even more robot automation, laser-cutting devices, and large experience making standing desk bases, obviously.

If you’re not as well high, do not have an excessive amount of heavy tools on your desktop, as well as do not need also broad of a workdesk, the StandDesk Pro will certainly provide you great bang for your dollar.

All that may change with Yu’s guaranteed StandDesk Pro 2.0 layout that he anticipates to release at some point in the future. Originally we were informed we would certainly see it by June 2018. More than a year later it has yet to appear, and Yu states he’s had difficulty getting the item top quality he needs out of numerous Chinese factories he’s attempted dealing with. The brand-new layout is supposedly mosting likely to be much easier to put together and have a heftier bar style, among other improvements. He says the brand-new base will be used in both a “T-Leg” and also “C-Leg” setup, reducing our concern concerning side-load worrying on the lifting columns.

If this new base ever comes to market we’ll update you right here. However we’re not holding our breath any longer as the most current information on the business is that Yu closed the tiny Los Angeles office and has actually relocated it to join with all its other employees in southeast Asia.

In the meantime, a brand-new $399 standing desk with remarkable performance has actually been introduce with the brand-new joint venture in between US-based iMovR as well as China-based Eureka, the i1 electrical standing workdesk. While limited in dimension and shade options, it has taken the mantle away from StandDesk’s long-ago status as the best standing workdesk under $400.

The StandDesk was produced by millennials, is marketed right at millennials, as well as has actually been gobbled up by millennials in remarkable volumes. While it lugs a ten-year service warranty (the longest of any type of Chinese-made base), in this situation it’s not always a dependable indicator of the expected useful life of the lifting columns. But also for the rate, the StandDesk is a great lower-cost alternative to the UpLift, Jarvis and other Chinese-made desks. Despite its stability issues this is a far better product than the Autonomous SmartDesk or IKEA Bekant could ever before intend to be, and a good value overall. It’s the mid-priced offering in the wide category of Chinese-made desks that is winning over clients from both its less expensive and pricier peers.

StandDesk Construction, Configuration, as well as Devices

Constructing the desk is rather easy if you adhere to the detailed directions. All of the screws, bolts, washers, and springtime washing machines can be found in separate bags that are marked with their destination: table top, framework, and spares. There’s an included hex tool for securing all of the bolts right into the framework, or, pop in a hex bit into your power device– just take care not to over-tighten.

All of the components have a premium quality coating to them with rounded corners to avoid cut hands. Below is a shot of all the bolts that are secured to the leg assembly– it’s not going anywhere!

Standdesk-Leg

The foot setting up also consists of height-adjustable turning gears to support the front-to-back motion of the desk, which was really useful for the carpeted office floor. I’m also using a floor mat to secure the carpet from chair wheel damages at resting height, and also push the chair back when I’m transitioning to standing elevation.

Standdesk-Foot

The luxurious controller deserved the investment. The switches are all variable pressure configured, suggesting the backwards and forwards arrows will certainly adjust the height by 1/10th of an inch with a single press, or continually change the elevation by about 0.7 inches per 2nd if you hold the button for 2 secs. The memory switches are similar in layout: push to recall the height setup, or hold the button down for five secs to save a new elevation worth. I’m using switch 1 for my resting position and button 4 for my standing position, which provides me 2 as well as 3 for anything I might need in the future.

Using my Standdesk

I’ve been using the brand-new workdesk for a couple of weeks as well as have actually documented my initial impacts:

The electric motors are quiet but can be heard in the following area over. It takes possibly 25 seconds for the desk to fully shift from sitting to standing based on my presets.
I make use of an Ergotron side-by-side keep track of arm (specifically this LX version), causing the desk to get a little rough when I move my weight against the key-board. In knowledge, I should have purchased the crossbar upgrade for my workdesk after determining the weight of my displays. If you prepare to do a dual screen arrangement, get the crossbar.

Due to the fact that gravity compresses the discs in a human spine, I need to raise the desk higher in the early morning and lower it in the evening.

An anti-fatigue floor covering is definitely vital for long period of time standing. I purchased an Octagonal floor covering from SmartCells, utilizing rubber “cells” that are envisioned listed below.

Efficiency

In spite of any kind of problems I might have had with the mobile phone or the cookie-cutter layout, basically all of those problems removed once I really came down to using this thing.

I really did not believe it was also possible, the StandDesk somehow takes care of to be even much more steady than the Jarvis, both at resting and standing elevations. The majority of days I such as to run my Jarvis at max elevation while pushed versus my wall surface; not necessarily since it’s that wobbly, yet even if I want as much stability as I can obtain.

The StandDesk one ups the gambit even further, proving to be equally as stable by itself at standing elevation as the Jarvis is with wall support. This is all without the firm’s bar addition, which they declare adds even more security when acquired as a part of the bundle deal.When it involves weight resistance, the StandDesk shares yet much more stats with the Jarvis, being ranked for approximately 350 pounds of weight ability.

I have actually been using the desk for concerning 3 weeks currently for daily work (as well as adhering to standing workdesk finest techniques), whether it’s inputting out testimonials like this one from our desktop computer or a laptop every now and then. The desk holds up well versus non-coastered beverages, and the surface in addition to the desk still feels equally as smooth and also glossy as the day I opened it despite days of sweaty wrists wresting on it and several clean downs with a rag.

I never deliberately try to damage any type of desks as well hard, during some lighter examinations (throwing a collection of keys onto it from a distance, for instance), it still held up without too several noticeable indications of damages.

Lastly, when I gauged the noise output of the desk while it climbed from a sitting position to standing and back once again, it was by far the quietest we have actually examined yet. I can hardly get it to make greater than regarding 9.5 dB of sound, so if your biggest concern is the whirr of your motor, this is certainly the one for you.

Client service

Now, normally I don’t consist of much concerning the client service assistance of any type of given firm, just because I really feel that as a whole if an item works the method its expected to, I shouldn’t ever before have a factor to call them to begin with. And while I want I can claim that was the case throughout my experience with StandDesk, I simply can’t complete this testimonial without discussing the countless, relatively endless problems I came across trying to obtain my workdesk created.

For beginners, the desk I was sent didn’t have any kind of memory handset included initially, which implied I had no chance of actually managing the up/down feature on the desk itself. I contacted StandDesk about this concern, who returned to me around a day later on with an apology and also a guarantee that a brand-new one would certainly be shipped shortly.

Standdesk review handset

The source of all our problems …
Concerning four days later on a mobile phone showed up in the mail. The mobile phone initially switched on, yet it wasn’t long before I observed that none of the programmable buttons worked, nor did the down button, but also for some reason the “memory” button managed the down function simply great. I called the company again, and they apologized for the mixup as well as stated they would certainly have a brand-new panel as well as control box out to me within the week.

Over two weeks later my brand-new panel and also control box arrived. As soon as I installed them both the desk ultimately started working the way it was meant to, but not after almost a month of waiting and also to and fro with a business that couldn’t keep in mind to ship a core element of their product inside the same box from the outset.

Things to Think about

Despite its bankable attributes, this stand up desk likewise has its own disadvantages. Given that no particular stand workdesk can capture every one of the functions that you might require, you may think about these in your decision-making.

Lack of a Crossbar as requirement

Not having a supporting bar is absolutely not a deal-breaker, specifically considering a few of our other favored desks such as the Totally Jarvis also don’t have one. In fact, this workdesk does have one if you desire, yet it is a paid add-on (a lot more on this later too).

The bar is seen by some as an obstacle, making it tougher to place your legs comfortably below the desk. Others, on the other hand, find that they supply added stability, frequently critical when workdesks are fully extended.

We have not read any kind of grievances of the stability of this desk, so we do not believe its something to truly be worried about, although if you actually wanted a desk with a crossbar then we recommend you have a look at the Varidesk ProDesk 60 Electric.

Conversely, StandDesk does supply a separate add-on crossbar that you can add to the desk on your own, just for an added $49.95.

Security

The security of a standing workdesk is among the most crucial elements of these workdesks. Without a secure workdesk you’ll find it tough to concentrate, which might cause you coming to be much less interested in making use of the desk at standing height. To obtain the best return on your financial investment, you’ll wish to enjoy when making use of the desk.

Since the StandDesk Simple is the very first workdesk that I have actually examined with an optional cross assistance, I will break down my stability tests right into 2 sections. Both examinations will consist of the normal front to back shaking examination and also a left to appropriate wobble. The first will certainly lack the cross support as well as the second will be with it. Simply to note, StandDesk.co states that the addition of the cross support can increase stability by as much as 15%. I have no concept how they generated that number.

Without Cross Assistance

Left to Right: The wobble examination was a different situation. StandDesk Simple was the 2nd workdesk that I tested that wobbled near the bottom with weight on the desktop computer. The initial was the IKEA Bekant. By the time it reached 36″ the shaking activity misbehaved. Beyond this point it would affect your work.

With Cross Assistance

Front to Back: Adding the cross support does not influence the rocking motion. The StandDesk Simple started to experienced a shaking movement at 36″. By 41″ the rocking movement was bad.

Delegated Right: Including the cross support to the StandDesk boosted the wobble activity for reduced elevations. With the cross assistance the wobble activity didn’t start until you reached 35″. By 39″ the wobble motion came to be poor.

Keep in mind: It’s extremely vital with adjustable standing desks to fully tighten up all equipment. If there is hardware that is not totally tight, the movement experienced when encompassed standing elevation will certainly be overemphasized. This is specifically true with a desk structure that includes 32 screws, there are far way too many factors at which the desk has a possibility to relocate.

Final thought

Like all the Chinese bases we have actually evaluated in our labs, we have to tighten our recommendation on the StandDesk Pro to much shorter individuals with narrower desktops, as the security just isn’t there for a big mass elevated high off the ground. American-made workdesks will be better matched to these applications, and for a rather apparent factor. Practically all American-made bases are made in US manufacturing facilities that are owned by Swedish, Danish or German firms that created this sector, and also their ordinary residents are a whole lot taller than the ordinary Oriental consumer, so they began making longer-stroke training legs a long time earlier. As well as they have much more robotic automation, laser-cutting devices, as well as sheer experience making standing desk bases, needless to say.

However if you’re not also high, do not have an extreme quantity of hefty tools on your desktop computer, and do not require as well wide of a workdesk, the StandDesk Pro will certainly offer you great value.

All that might change with Yu’s promised StandDesk Pro 2.0 layout that he anticipates to release sometime in the future. Initially we were told we would certainly see it by June 2018. More than a year later on it has yet to appear, as well as Yu states he’s had difficulty obtaining the product quality he requires out of numerous Chinese factories he’s tried dealing with. The new design is allegedly mosting likely to be a lot easier to assemble as well as have a heftier bar style, among other refinements. He says the new base will certainly be used in both a “T-Leg” and “C-Leg” configuration, easing our worry concerning side-load emphasizing on the lifting columns.

If this brand-new base ever before concerns market we’ll upgrade you below. We’re not holding our breath any kind of longer as the most current news on the business is that Yu closed the tiny Los Angeles office and also has relocated it to join with all its various other staff members in southeast Asia.

In the meantime, a brand-new $399 standing desk with outstanding efficiency has been present through the brand-new joint endeavor between US-based iMovR as well as China-based Eureka, the i1 electrical standing workdesk. While limited in size and color choices, it has taken the mantle far from StandDesk’s long-ago condition as the very best standing desk under $400.
