The StandDesk was produced by millennials, is marketed directly at millennials, as well as has actually been demolished by millennials in impressive volumes. While it lugs a ten-year service warranty (the longest of any kind of Chinese-made base), in this case it’s not necessarily a trustworthy indicator of the expected useful life of the training columns. However, for the rate, the StandDesk is a wonderful lower-cost option to the UpLift, Jarvis as well as various other Chinese-made desks. Despite its stability issues this is a far much better item than the Autonomous SmartDesk or IKEA Bekant might ever wish to be, as well as a good value overall. It’s the mid-priced offering in the broad classification of Chinese-made desks that is gaining clients from both its less expensive and more expensive peers.

StandDesk Construction, Configuration, and also Gizmos

Building the desk is rather direct if you comply with the thorough directions. Every one of the screws, screws, washers, and springtime washing machines come in different bags that are noted with their destination: tabletop, frame, and spares. There’s a consisted of hex tool for attaching every one of the screws right into the frame, or, pop in a hex little bit into your power tool– simply take care not to over-tighten.

Every one of the components have an excellent quality finish to them with rounded corners to prevent 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 assembly likewise consists of height-adjustable turning gears to stabilize the front-to-back activity of the desk, which was really useful for the carpeted office floor. I’m also utilizing a flooring mat to shield the rug from chair wheel damage at sitting elevation, and push the chair when I’m transitioning to standing elevation.

Standdesk-Foot

The luxurious controller was worth the financial investment. The buttons are all variable stress configured, implying the up and down arrows will change the height by 1/10th of an inch with a solitary press, or constantly readjust the height by about 0.7 inches per second if you hold the button for 2 secs. The memory buttons are comparable in layout: press to remember the elevation setup, or hold the button down for five secs to keep a new height value. I’m making use of switch 1 for my sitting setting and button 4 for my standing position, which gives me 2 as well as 3 for anything I might need in the future.

Utilizing my Standdesk

I have actually been utilizing the brand-new desk for a couple of weeks as well as have actually listed my preliminary impacts:

The motors are quiet but can be listened to in the following space over. It takes probably 25 secs for the desk to fully change from resting to standing based on my presets.
I use an Ergotron side-by-side keep an eye on arm (specifically this LX version), causing the desk to get a little rough when I move my weight versus the key-board. In knowledge, I should have acquired the bar upgrade for my workdesk after determining the weight of my screens. If you prepare to do a double display arrangement, get the bar.

Because gravity presses the discs in a human spine, I require to elevate the desk greater in the morning and also reduced it in the evening.

An anti-fatigue mat is definitely vital for long duration standing. I bought an Octagonal mat from SmartCells, utilizing rubber “cells” that are pictured listed below.

Efficiency

Despite any kind of troubles I might have had with the mobile or the cookie-cutter design, practically every one of those worries gotten rid of as soon as I actually came down to utilizing this point.

Although I didn’t think it was also feasible, the StandDesk in some way takes care of to be a lot more steady than the Jarvis, both at sitting and standing heights. A lot of days I such as to run my Jarvis at max elevation while pressed against my wall surface; not necessarily since it’s that shaky, yet just because I want as much security as I can obtain.

The StandDesk one ups the gambit even further, proving to be just as consistent on its own at standing elevation as the Jarvis is with wall support. This is all without the business’s crossbar addition, which they claim includes even more stability when acquired as a part of the plan deal.When it involves weight tolerance, the StandDesk shares yet much more stats with the Jarvis, being ranked for up to 350 lbs of weight ability.

I’ve been making use of the desk for concerning 3 weeks currently for day-to-day work (and also following standing workdesk ideal techniques), whether it’s keying out reviews like this one from our desktop computer or a laptop computer from time to time. The desk holds up well against non-coastered beverages, and the coating on top of the desk still really feels just as smooth as well as glossy as the day I opened it regardless of days of sweaty wrists wresting on it and multiple wipe downs with a cloth.

I never ever deliberately try to damage any kind of workdesks also hard, during some lighter examinations (throwing a collection of keys onto it from a range, for instance), it still held up without also numerous visible indicators of damages.

When I measured the sound outcome of the workdesk while it rose from a resting setting to standing and also back once more, it was by much the quietest we’ve evaluated. I might barely get it to make greater than concerning 9.5 dB of sound, so if your greatest issue is the whirr of your motor, this is absolutely the one for you.

Customer support

Currently, normally I don’t include much regarding the client service assistance of any type of given company, only due to the fact that I feel that generally if an item works the method its expected to, I shouldn’t ever before have a factor to call them to begin with. And also while I desire I can say that was the case throughout my experience with StandDesk, I merely can not finish this evaluation without mentioning the countless, seemingly countless issues I ran into trying to obtain my workdesk assembled.

For starters, the desk I was sent out didn’t have any memory mobile phone consisted of initially, which suggested I had no chance of actually regulating the up/down feature on the desk itself. I contacted StandDesk about this concern, that returned to me around a day later on with an apology and also an assurance that a brand-new one would be shipped shortly.

Standdesk testimonial handset

The resource of all our issues …
Regarding four days later on a mobile phone showed up in the mail. The mobile phone originally switched on, yet it wasn’t long before I discovered that none of the programmable buttons worked, nor did the down button, but also for some factor the “memory” button handled the down feature simply great. I called the business once more, and they apologized for the mixup and also stated they would have a brand-new panel and control box out to me within the week.

Over 2 weeks later my new panel and also control box showed up. When I installed them both the desk lastly started working the way it was meant to, yet not after nearly a month of waiting and to and fro with a firm that could not remember to deliver a core element of their item inside the same box from the outset.

Things to Think about

In spite of its bankable functions, this stand up desk likewise has its very own downsides. Because no particular stand workdesk might capture all of the attributes that you might need, you might consider these in your decision-making.

Lack of a Bar as standard

Not having a stabilizing bar is certainly not a deal-breaker, particularly taking into consideration a few of our various other favorite workdesks such as the Totally Jarvis also don’t have one. This desk does have one if you want, however it is a paid add-on (extra on this later also).

The crossbar is seen by some as a hindrance, making it harder to put your legs comfortably below the desk. Others, on the other hand, discover that they supply included security, frequently critical when desks are totally prolonged.

We have not check out any kind of grievances of the stability of this workdesk, so we do not think its something to truly be concerned about, although if you truly wanted a workdesk with a crossbar then we recommend you take a look at the Varidesk ProDesk 60 Electric.

StandDesk does offer a different add-on bar that you can add to the workdesk yourself, just for an extra $49.95.

Security

The security of a standing desk is among the most vital facets of these desks. Without a steady workdesk you’ll discover it difficult to focus, which could result in you becoming less interested in utilizing the desk at standing elevation. To obtain the best return on your financial investment, you’ll want to more than happy when utilizing the desk.

Because the StandDesk Simple is the initial workdesk that I have actually examined with an optional cross support, I will certainly break down my stability tests right into two sections. Both examinations will include the common front to back rocking examination and also a left to appropriate wobble. The initial will certainly be without the cross support and also the second will be with it. Simply to note, StandDesk.co claims that the enhancement of the cross assistance can increase stability by as much as 15%. I have no idea how they developed that number.

Without Cross Assistance

Left to Right: The wobble test was a various circumstance. StandDesk Simple was the 2nd workdesk that I checked that tottered at the bottom with weight on the desktop computer. The very first was the IKEA Bekant. By the time it reached 36″ the rocking activity was bad. Beyond this point it would certainly influence your work.

With Cross Assistance

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

Delegated Right: Adding the cross assistance to the StandDesk enhanced the wobble movement for reduced elevations. With the cross assistance the wobble activity really did not begin until you got to 35″. By 39″ the wobble motion came to be bad.

Note: It’s really essential with adjustable standing desks to totally tighten all hardware. If there is equipment that is not completely tight, the activity experienced when included standing elevation will certainly be exaggerated. This is particularly true with a workdesk structure that includes 32 screws, there are far way too many factors at which the desk has an opportunity to move.

Conclusion

Like all the Chinese bases we have actually evaluated in our labs, we have to narrow our referral on the StandDesk Pro to much shorter users with narrower desktop computers, as the security just isn’t there for a huge mass elevated high off the ground. American-made desks will certainly be better fit to these applications, as well as for a fairly evident reason. Essentially all American-made bases are made in US manufacturing facilities that are had by Swedish, Danish or German companies that invented this industry, and also their typical residents are a great deal taller than the typical Oriental consumer, so they began making longer-stroke lifting legs a long period of time ago. As well as they have far more robot automation, laser-cutting tools, and large experience making standing desk bases, it goes without saying.

If you’re not also tall, do not have an extreme quantity of hefty equipment on your desktop computer, as well as do not need also broad of a workdesk, the StandDesk Pro will certainly give you excellent bang for your buck.

All that could alter with Yu’s assured StandDesk Pro 2.0 style that he anticipates to release at some time in the future. Originally we were told we would certainly see it by June 2018. Greater than a year later it has yet to materialize, and also Yu states he’s had problem obtaining the item high quality he requires out of a number of Chinese factories he’s tried collaborating with. The new style is allegedly going to be a lot easier to set up and have a heftier crossbar layout, among other improvements. He claims the new base will be provided in both a “T-Leg” and also “C-Leg” setup, reducing our problem regarding side-load worrying on the lifting columns.

If this brand-new base ever comes to market we’ll update you below. We’re not holding our breath any longer as the most recent news on the firm is that Yu shut the little Los Angeles office and also has relocated it to join with all its other employees in southeast Asia.

In the meantime, a new $399 standing workdesk with outstanding performance has been present through the brand-new joint endeavor in between US-based iMovR and also China-based Eureka, the i1 electric standing desk. While restricted in size and also shade alternatives, it has taken the mantle far from StandDesk’s long-ago standing as the best standing workdesk under $400.

The StandDesk was produced by millennials, is marketed directly at millennials, and also has actually been demolished by millennials in outstanding volumes. While it lugs a ten-year guarantee (the lengthiest of any type of Chinese-made base), in this instance it’s not necessarily a reliable indication of the expected useful life of the lifting columns. For the price, the StandDesk is a great lower-cost option to the UpLift, Jarvis and various other Chinese-made workdesks. Regardless of its stability concerns this is a far better product than the Autonomous SmartDesk or IKEA Bekant can ever before hope to be, as well as a good value on the whole. It’s the mid-priced offering in the wide category of Chinese-made workdesks that is swaying consumers from both its less costly and also costlier peers.

I’m likewise making use of a flooring mat to safeguard the rug from chair wheel damages at sitting height, and press the chair when I’m transitioning to standing elevation.

The luxurious controller was worth the financial investment. The switches are all variable pressure configured, meaning the up and down arrows will certainly adjust the elevation by 1/10th of an inch with a solitary press, or constantly adjust the height by around 0.7 inches per second if you hold the button for two secs. The memory switches are similar in layout: press to remember the elevation setting, or hold the button down for 5 seconds to keep a new elevation value.

An anti-fatigue mat is absolutely necessary for long duration standing. I acquired an Octagonal mat from SmartCells, making use of rubber “cells” that are envisioned listed below.

Performance

Despite any kind of issues I may have had with the mobile or the cookie-cutter style, virtually every one of those problems removed when I really came down to using this point.

Although I really did not believe it was also feasible, the StandDesk somehow manages to be a lot more steady than the Jarvis, both at sitting and standing elevations.

The StandDesk one ups the gambit even better, confirming to be equally as stable by itself at standing height as the Jarvis is with wall support. This is all without the business’s crossbar enhancement, which they declare includes a lot more security when purchased as a part of the plan deal.When it involves weight resistance, the StandDesk shares yet even more statistics with the Jarvis, being ranked for up to 350 lbs of weight capacity.

I have actually been using the desk for concerning 3 weeks now for everyday job (and also complying with standing workdesk best methods), whether it’s keying out evaluations such as this one from our desktop or a laptop once in a while. The desk stands up well versus non-coastered beverages, and also the surface in addition to the desk still really feels equally as smooth and also glossy as the day I opened it despite days of sweaty wrists wresting on it and also several wipe downs with a dustcloth.

I can barely get it to make greater than regarding 9.5 dB of noise, so if your greatest problem is the whirr of your motor, this is definitely the one for you.

Client service

Now, typically I don’t include much concerning the customer service assistance of any type of offered company, just due to the fact that I really feel that as a whole if a product works the means its meant to, I shouldn’t ever have a factor to call them in the first place. And also while I want I might claim that held true during my experience with StandDesk, I merely can’t complete this evaluation without pointing out the countless, seemingly endless troubles I came across attempting to obtain my desk created.

For beginners, the desk I was sent didn’t have any kind of memory handset included originally, which implied I had no way of in fact regulating the up/down feature on the desk itself. I contacted StandDesk concerning this issue, who got back to me around a day later on with an apology and also a promise that a brand-new one would certainly be shipped out soon.

Points to Take into consideration

Despite its bankable features, this stand desk also has its own downsides. Since no particular stand workdesk might record all of the functions that you might need, you may consider these in your decision-making.

Lack of a Crossbar as standard

Conclusion

Just to note, StandDesk.co states that the enhancement of the cross support can increase stability by approximately 15%. I have no concept exactly how they came up with that number.

This is specifically real with a desk framework that consists of 32 bolts, there are far too many factors at which the desk has a chance to relocate.

Conclusion

Like all the Chinese bases we’ve checked in our labs, we need to narrow our referral on the StandDesk Pro to shorter individuals with narrower desktops, as the security simply isn’t there for a big mass raised high off the ground. American-made desks will be better fit to these applications, and for a rather apparent reason. Essentially all American-made bases are made in US manufacturing facilities that are owned by Swedish, Danish or German companies that created this sector, as well as their average citizens are a great deal taller than the typical Eastern consumer, so they began making longer-stroke lifting legs a long time earlier. And they have far more robot automation, laser-cutting devices, and also sheer experience making standing workdesk bases, needless to say.

But if you’re not also high, do not have an inordinate quantity of hefty devices on your desktop, as well as do not require also wide of a workdesk, the StandDesk Pro will certainly offer you good value.

All that may transform with Yu’s promised StandDesk Pro 2.0 layout that he anticipates to release at some point in the future. Initially we were informed we would certainly see it by June 2018. Greater than a year later it has yet to emerge, and also Yu states he’s had trouble getting the product high quality he requires out of several Chinese manufacturing facilities he’s attempted working with. The new design is allegedly going to be a lot easier to assemble and have a heftier bar style, to name a few refinements. He says the brand-new base will certainly be used in both a “T-Leg” and also “C-Leg” setup, reducing our concern about side-load emphasizing on the training 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 company is that Yu shut the little Los Angeles office and has moved it to join with all its other staff members in southeast Asia.

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

The StandDesk was developed by millennials, is marketed directly at millennials, and has actually been demolished by millennials in impressive volumes. While it carries a ten-year guarantee (the longest of any kind of Chinese-made base), in this instance it’s not always a reliable indicator of the anticipated helpful life of the training columns. But for the cost, the StandDesk is a wonderful lower-cost choice to the UpLift, Jarvis as well as other Chinese-made workdesks. Despite its stability issues this is a far much better item than the Autonomous SmartDesk or IKEA Bekant might ever before 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 winning over customers from both its less costly and also pricier peers.

StandDesk Construction, Configuration, as well as Devices

Building the desk is rather straight forward if you adhere to the detailed instructions. All of the screws, bolts, washing machines, and also springtime washing machines come in separate bags that are noted with their location: table top, structure, and spares. There’s an included hex tool for securing every one of the screws into the frame, or, appear a hex bit into your power tool– just take care not to over-tighten.

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

Standdesk-Leg

The foot assembly additionally includes height-adjustable turning gears to stabilize the front-to-back movement of the desk, which was extremely handy for the carpeted office floor. I’m additionally making use of a floor mat to shield the rug from chair wheel damage at sitting height, and press the chair back when I’m transitioning to standing height.

Standdesk-Foot

The luxurious controller was worth the financial investment. The buttons are all variable pressure programmed, indicating the backwards and forwards arrowheads will adjust the height by 1/10th of an inch with a solitary press, or constantly readjust the height by about 0.7 inches per second if you hold the button for two secs. The memory switches are comparable in layout: push to remember the elevation setting, or hold the button down for 5 seconds to store a brand-new height worth. I’m using button 1 for my resting placement as well as switch 4 for my standing position, which provides me 2 and also 3 for anything I may require in the future.

Standdesk-Memory-unit

Utilizing my Standdesk

I have actually been using the brand-new desk for a couple of weeks and also have actually jotted down my first impacts:

The electric motors are quiet however can be heard in the following room over. It takes probably 25 secs for the desk to fully shift from sitting to standing based on my presets.
I use an Ergotron side-by-side keep track of arm (specifically this LX model), creating the desk to obtain a little rocky when I move my weight against the keyboard. In hindsight, I need to have purchased the bar upgrade for my workdesk after determining the weight of my screens. If you plan to do a double display configuration, get the crossbar.

Since gravity compresses the discs in a human back, I require to increase the desk greater in the morning and lower it in the evening.

An anti-fatigue floor covering is definitely necessary for long period of time standing. I bought an Octagonal floor covering from SmartCells, using rubber “cells” that are visualized listed below.

Performance

In spite of any kind of troubles I may have had with the phone or the cookie-cutter style, pretty much every one of those worries gotten rid of as soon as I really came down to using this point.

Although I really did not think it was even feasible, the StandDesk somehow handles to be even more stable than the Jarvis, both at sitting and standing elevations. Many days I like to run my Jarvis at max height while pushed versus my wall surface; not necessarily due to the fact that it’s that shaky, yet just because I want as much security as I can obtain.

The StandDesk one ups the gambit even additionally, showing to be just as stable by itself at standing elevation as the Jarvis is with wall support. This is all without the firm’s bar enhancement, which they declare includes even more stability when purchased as a part of the package deal.When it comes to weight tolerance, the StandDesk shares yet even more statistics with the Jarvis, being ranked for approximately 350 pounds of weight capability.

I have actually been making use of the desk for regarding three weeks now for day-to-day work (as well as adhering to standing workdesk ideal practices), whether it’s inputting out reviews like this one from our desktop computer or a laptop from time to time. The desk stands up well against 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 regardless of days of sweaty wrists wresting on it and numerous clean downs with a dustcloth.

Though I never purposefully attempt to damage any type of desks too hard, throughout some lighter examinations (tossing a collection of keys onto it from a distance, for instance), it still held up without way too many visible signs of damage.

When I measured the noise output of the workdesk while it rose from a sitting placement to standing as well as back again, it was by far the quietest we’ve tested. I could barely get it to make greater than about 9.5 dB of noise, so if your biggest concern is the whirr of your electric motor, this is definitely the one for you.

Client service

Currently, usually I don’t include much about the customer support assistance of any type of provided business, only due to the fact that I feel that generally if an item functions the means its expected to, I should not ever before have a reason to call them in the first place. As well as while I wish I might say that held true during my experience with StandDesk, I just can’t finish this testimonial without discussing the many, apparently countless troubles I experienced attempting to get my desk assembled.

For beginners, the desk I was sent really did not have any kind of memory handset included originally, which indicated I had no chance of in fact managing the up/down feature on the desk itself. I called StandDesk concerning this concern, that got back to me around a day later with an apology and also a guarantee that a new one would certainly be shipped shortly.

Standdesk evaluation handset

The source of all our troubles …
Regarding 4 days later on a mobile got here in the mail. The handset initially activated, yet it wasn’t long before I discovered that none of the programmable buttons worked, neither did the down switch, however, for some reason the “memory” button managed the down function just great. I called the firm again, and also they apologized for the mixup as well as claimed they would have a new panel and also control box bent on me within the week.

Over two weeks later on my new panel and also control box arrived. Once I mounted them both the desk lastly started working the means it was supposed to, however not after almost a month of waiting and backward and forward with a firm that couldn’t keep in mind to ship a core component of their product inside the exact same box from the beginning.

Points to Consider

Despite its bankable features, this stand desk likewise has its own drawbacks. Since no particular stand workdesk might catch every one of the features that you may require, you might think about these in your decision-making.

Lack of a Crossbar as criterion

Not having a stabilizing crossbar is absolutely not a deal-breaker, especially considering a few of our other preferred workdesks such as the Completely Jarvis likewise don’t have one. As a matter of fact, this desk does have one if you want, but it is a paid add-on (more on this later too).

The bar is seen by some as a hindrance, making it harder to put your legs pleasantly below the desk. Others, on the other hand, find that they provide added security, commonly critical when workdesks are totally prolonged.

We have not check out any kind of complaints of the security of this desk, so we do not believe its something to actually be concerned regarding, although if you truly wanted a desk with a crossbar after that we recommend you take a look at the Varidesk ProDesk 60 Electric.

StandDesk does provide a separate add-on crossbar that you can include to the workdesk on your own, simply for an additional $49.95.

Security

The security of a standing desk is among the most vital elements of these desks. Without a steady workdesk you’ll find it tough to focus, which can bring about you coming to be less thinking about using the desk at standing elevation. To obtain the most effective return on your investment, you’ll wish to be happy when utilizing the desk.

Because the StandDesk Simple is the initial desk that I have actually checked with an optional cross assistance, I will certainly break down my stability tests into 2 areas. Both examinations will include the normal front to back rocking test and also an entrusted to appropriate wobble. The first will certainly be without the cross support and the secondly will certainly be with it. Simply to note, StandDesk.co claims that the enhancement of the cross support can increase stability by up to 15%. I have no suggestion just how they developed that number.

Without Cross Assistance

Left to Right: The wobble examination was a various scenario. StandDesk Simple was the second workdesk that I evaluated that tottered at the bottom with weight on the desktop. The initial was the IKEA Bekant. By the time it got to 36″ the rocking motion misbehaved. Yet point it would certainly affect your job.

With Cross Support

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

Entrusted to Right: Including the cross assistance to the StandDesk enhanced the wobble motion for reduced elevations. With the cross assistance the wobble motion didn’t begin till you reached 35″. By 39″ the wobble motion came to be bad.

Note: It’s very crucial with flexible standing desks to completely tighten up all hardware. If there is equipment that is not totally limited, the movement experienced when encompassed standing elevation will certainly be overemphasized. This is particularly true with a desk structure that includes 32 screws, there are much too many points at which the desk has an opportunity to relocate.

Verdict

Like all the Chinese bases we’ve examined in our laboratories, we need to narrow our referral on the StandDesk Pro to shorter customers with narrower desktops, as the stability just isn’t there for a huge mass elevated high off the ground. American-made workdesks will be better matched to these applications, and for a relatively noticeable factor. Virtually all American-made bases are made in US manufacturing facilities that are possessed by Swedish, Danish or German companies that invented this industry, and also their average residents are a whole lot taller than the typical Oriental consumer, so they started making longer-stroke training legs a long time earlier. And they have much more robotic automation, laser-cutting equipment, and sheer experience making standing desk bases, it goes without saying.

But if you’re not also high, do not have an inordinate amount of hefty devices on your desktop, as well as do not require also wide of a desk, the StandDesk Pro will certainly provide you excellent bang for your buck.

All that could transform with Yu’s promised StandDesk Pro 2.0 style that he anticipates to launch sometime in the future. Originally we were informed we ‘d see it by June 2018. More than a year later it has yet to appear, and also Yu states he’s had difficulty getting the item top quality he needs out of numerous Chinese manufacturing facilities he’s attempted collaborating with. The brand-new layout is supposedly going to be much easier to construct and also have a heftier bar design, to name a few refinements. He states the brand-new base will certainly be used in both a “T-Leg” as well as “C-Leg” setup, reducing our concern regarding side-load worrying on the lifting columns.

If this new base ever before concerns market we’ll update you here. 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 also has moved it to join with all its other staff members in southeast Asia.

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