The StandDesk was developed by millennials, is marketed straight at millennials, and also has been demolished by millennials in excellent quantities. While it carries a ten-year service warranty (the longest of any Chinese-made base), in this instance it’s not necessarily a reputable sign of the anticipated helpful life of the lifting columns. For the rate, the StandDesk is a terrific lower-cost alternative to the UpLift, Jarvis as well as other Chinese-made desks. In spite of its stability problems this is a much better item than the Autonomous SmartDesk or IKEA Bekant might ever wish to be, and also a good value generally. It’s the mid-priced offering in the wide category of Chinese-made desks that is gaining consumers from both its cheaper as well as pricier peers.

StandDesk Building And Construction, Arrangement, as well as Gizmos

Constructing the desk is quite direct if you comply with the thorough guidelines. All of the screws, screws, washers, and also spring washers been available in separate bags that are marked with their location: table top, framework, and spares. There’s a consisted of hex device for securing all of the bolts right into the frame, or, pop in a hex little bit right into your power device– just beware not to over-tighten.

All of the components have a premium quality surface to them with rounded corners to stay clear of cut hands. Below is a shot of all the bolts that are fastened to the leg setting up– it’s not going anywhere!

Standdesk-Leg

The foot setting up additionally consists of height-adjustable turning gears to stabilize the front-to-back movement of the desk, which was extremely handy for the carpeted office flooring. I’m likewise using a flooring mat to secure the rug from chair wheel damage at resting height, as well as press the chair when I’m transitioning to standing elevation.

Standdesk-Foot

The deluxe controller was worth the financial investment. The switches are all variable pressure programmed, implying the up and down arrowheads will certainly readjust the height by 1/10th of an inch with a solitary press, or constantly adjust the elevation by around 0.7 inches per second if you hold the switch for two seconds. The memory switches are comparable in design: push to remember the height setting, or hold the button down for 5 seconds to store a new elevation worth. I’m utilizing switch 1 for my resting placement as well as switch 4 for my standing placement, which provides me 2 and also 3 for anything I might need in the future.

Utilizing my Standdesk

I’ve been utilizing the brand-new desk for a few weeks and have listed my initial impressions:

The electric motors are quiet however can be listened to in the following room over. It takes possibly 25 secs for the desk to completely shift from sitting to standing based on my presets.
I make use of an Ergotron side-by-side monitor arm (particularly this LX model), causing the desk to get a little rough when I change my weight versus the keyboard. In knowledge, I should have acquired the crossbar upgrade for my desk after determining the weight of my monitors. If you prepare to do a dual screen configuration, obtain the crossbar.

Because gravity compresses the discs in a human spine, I need to elevate the desk higher in the early morning and lower it at night.

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

Performance

Despite any type of issues I may have had with the mobile phone or the cookie-cutter layout, basically all of those worries removed as soon as I actually got down to using this point.

I really did not think it was also feasible, the StandDesk somehow handles to be even extra secure than the Jarvis, both at sitting and also standing heights. A lot of days I such as to run my Jarvis at max height while pushed against my wall; not necessarily due to the fact that it’s that unsteady, yet even if I want as much stability as I can get.

The StandDesk one ups the gambit also additionally, verifying to be just as consistent on its own at standing height as the Jarvis is with wall support. This is all without the company’s bar addition, which they claim adds even more stability when bought as a part of the bundle deal.When it involves weight tolerance, the StandDesk shares yet even more stats with the Jarvis, being rated for up to 350 lbs of weight capability.

I’ve been making use of the desk for concerning 3 weeks currently for day-to-day job (and adhering to standing desk best practices), whether it’s inputting out evaluations such as this one from our desktop or a laptop computer every so often. The desk stands up well against non-coastered beverages, and the coating on top of the desk still feels just as smooth and glossy as the day I opened it despite days of perspiring wrists wresting on it and also multiple wipe downs with a rag.

Though I never intentionally attempt to dent any type of desks as well hard, during some lighter examinations (throwing a collection of keys onto it from a range, for example), it still stood up without a lot of noticeable signs of damages.

When I measured the noise outcome of the desk while it climbed from a sitting setting to standing and back once more, it was by much the quietest we’ve examined. I could hardly get it to make greater than regarding 9.5 dB of sound, so if your largest issue is the whirr of your motor, this is certainly the one for you.

Client service

Currently, generally I do not consist of much concerning the client service assistance of any kind of provided company, only due to the fact that I feel that as a whole if an item works the way its intended to, I should not ever have a reason to call them to begin with. And while I wish I could state that was the case throughout my experience with StandDesk, I merely can not finish this testimonial without discussing the countless, seemingly countless problems I ran into attempting to get my desk assembled.

For starters, the desk I was sent really did not have any memory phone included initially, which meant I had no other way of really managing the up/down feature on the desk itself. I got in touch with StandDesk regarding this concern, who returned to me around a day later with an apology and a pledge that a brand-new one would certainly be shipped out soon.

Standdesk review handset

The resource of all our problems …
Regarding 4 days later a mobile arrived in the mail. The phone at first turned on, however it wasn’t long prior to I saw that none of the programmable switches worked, neither did the down button, but for some reason the “memory” switch managed the down function simply fine. I called the business once more, and they excused the mixup and said they would have a brand-new panel as well as control box out to me within the week.

Over 2 weeks later on my new panel as well as control box arrived. Once I mounted them both the desk finally began working the way it was expected to, but not after practically a month of waiting as well as to and fro with a business that could not keep in mind to deliver a core element of their item inside the same box from the outset.

Points to Think about

Despite its bankable functions, this stand desk likewise has its own disadvantages. Since no singular stand desk could record all of the attributes that you might require, you might consider these in your decision-making.

Absence of a Crossbar as requirement

Not having a supporting bar is definitely not a deal-breaker, particularly considering some of our other preferred desks such as the Totally Jarvis likewise do not have one. This desk does have one if you want, however it is a paid add-on (a lot more on this later as well).

The crossbar is seen by some as a hindrance, making it more difficult to position your legs conveniently listed below the desk. Others, on the other hand, locate that they supply included stability, usually crucial when workdesks are fully expanded.

We have not review any problems of the stability of this workdesk, so we don’t think its something to really be worried regarding, although if you really 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 crossbar that you can include to the workdesk on your own, simply for an added $49.95.

Stability

The security of a standing desk is one of the most crucial elements of these desks. Without a secure desk you’ll locate it difficult to focus, which can lead to you becoming less thinking about utilizing the desk at standing elevation. To obtain the best return on your financial investment, you’ll intend to enjoy when using the desk.

Because the StandDesk Simple is the very first workdesk that I have tested with an optional cross support, I will certainly break down my stability examinations right into 2 areas. Both tests will include the typical front to back shaking examination and also a delegated best wobble. The first will be without the cross support and also the second will certainly be with it. Just to keep in mind, StandDesk.co claims that the addition of the cross assistance can enhance security by as much as 15%. I have no suggestion exactly how they thought of that number.

Without Cross Support

Left to Right: The wobble test was a various situation. StandDesk Simple was the 2nd desk that I tested that tottered near the bottom with weight on the desktop computer. The very first was the IKEA Bekant. By the time it got to 36″ the shaking motion misbehaved. Beyond this factor it would influence your work.

With Cross Assistance

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

Left to Right: Including the cross assistance to the StandDesk enhanced the wobble activity for reduced heights. With the cross assistance the wobble motion didn’t start up until you reached 35″. By 39″ the wobble activity came to be bad.

Keep in mind: It’s really important with flexible standing desks to completely tighten up all hardware. If there is equipment that is not completely limited, the activity experienced when reached standing height will certainly be exaggerated. This is specifically true with a workdesk frame that consists of 32 screws, there are much way too many factors at which the desk has a chance to move.

Conclusion

Like all the Chinese bases we’ve checked in our laboratories, we need to narrow 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 be better fit to these applications, and also for a rather noticeable reason. Practically all American-made bases are made in United States factories that are had by Swedish, Danish or German business that created this sector, and also their average residents are a lot taller than the typical Asian consumer, so they started making longer-stroke lifting legs a very long time ago. As well as they have even more robot automation, laser-cutting tools, as well as large experience making standing workdesk bases, it goes without saying.

If you’re not also high, don’t have an excessive quantity of heavy devices on your desktop, and also don’t need too large of a desk, the StandDesk Pro will offer you excellent bang for your dollar.

All that may change with Yu’s promised StandDesk Pro 2.0 style that he anticipates to release sometime in the future. Initially we were informed we ‘d see it by June 2018. More than a year later it has yet to materialize, and also Yu states he’s had problem obtaining the item quality he needs out of several Chinese manufacturing facilities he’s tried working with. The brand-new style is allegedly mosting likely to be much easier to assemble as well as have a heftier crossbar design, among other refinements. He states the new base will certainly be used in both a “T-Leg” and “C-Leg” arrangement, minimizing our problem concerning side-load worrying on the training columns.

If this brand-new base ever involves market we’ll upgrade you here. Yet we’re not holding our breath any longer as one of the most current information on the business is that Yu closed the little Los Angeles office and has moved it to accompany all its other employees in southeast Asia.

In the meantime, a new $399 standing desk with excellent efficiency has actually been present with the new joint venture between US-based iMovR and China-based Eureka, the i1 electric standing workdesk. While limited in dimension as well as shade choices, it has taken the mantle far 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 been gobbled up by millennials in excellent quantities. While it carries a ten-year guarantee (the longest of any Chinese-made base), in this case it’s not always a reliable indicator of the anticipated helpful life of the training columns. For the rate, the StandDesk is a fantastic lower-cost choice to the UpLift, Jarvis as well as various other Chinese-made workdesks. Regardless of its stability problems this is a much much better item than the Autonomous SmartDesk or IKEA Bekant can ever before hope to be, and also a good value overall.

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

Despite any type of issues I might have had with the phone or the cookie-cutter design, basically every one of those worries removed when I in fact came down to using this point.

I really did not assume it was even possible, the StandDesk in some way handles to be also a lot more steady than the Jarvis, both at sitting as well as standing elevations. The majority of days I such as to run my Jarvis at max elevation while pressed versus my wall; not necessarily because it’s that wobbly, but just because I want as much stability as I can get.

For beginners, the desk I was sent out didn’t have any kind of memory mobile included initially, which meant I had no way of really controlling the up/down feature on the desk itself.

Points to Think about

Despite its bankable attributes, this stand workdesk additionally has its very own downsides. Since no particular stand desk could record every one of the features that you may require, you might think about these in your decision-making.

Absence of a Crossbar as criterion

Not having a stabilizing bar is certainly not a deal-breaker, specifically considering several of our other favorite desks such as the Completely Jarvis additionally don’t have one. This desk does have one if you desire, however it is a paid add-on (a lot more on this later on also).

The crossbar is seen by some as a hindrance, making it more difficult to place your legs conveniently below the desk. Others, on the other hand, find that they supply included security, commonly crucial when workdesks are completely extended.

We have not review any kind of complaints of the stability of this desk, so we don’t think its something to actually be concerned concerning, although if you truly wanted a desk with a crossbar after that we recommend you take a look at the Varidesk ProDesk 60 Electric.

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

Security

The stability of a standing workdesk is one of the most important facets of these workdesks. Without a steady desk you’ll find it hard to concentrate, which can bring about you becoming less curious about utilizing the desk at standing elevation. To obtain the very best return on your financial investment, you’ll want to be happy when making use of the desk.

Because the StandDesk Simple is the very first desk that I have tested with an optional cross support, I will certainly break down my security tests right into two sections. Both tests will certainly include the common front to back rocking examination and also an entrusted to appropriate wobble. The first will certainly be without the cross assistance and also the secondly will certainly be with it. Simply to note, StandDesk.co says that the addition of the cross assistance can raise stability by up to 15%. I have no concept how they created that number.

Without Cross Support

Left to Right: The wobble test was a different scenario. StandDesk Simple was the second desk that I examined that tottered at the bottom with weight on the desktop computer. The initial was the IKEA Bekant. By the time it reached 36″ the rocking motion was bad. Beyond this factor it would influence your job.

With Cross Assistance

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

Left to Right: Adding the cross assistance to the StandDesk improved the wobble movement for lower elevations. With the cross support the wobble movement didn’t begin until you got to 35″. By 39″ the wobble movement became negative.

Keep in mind: It’s really important with adjustable standing workdesks to fully tighten up all hardware. If there is hardware that is not totally tight, the motion experienced when reached standing elevation will certainly be exaggerated. This is especially real with a workdesk framework that consists of 32 bolts, there are far too many factors at which the desk has an opportunity to relocate.

Verdict

Like all the Chinese bases we’ve tested in our labs, we have to narrow our recommendation on the StandDesk Pro to much shorter customers with narrower desktops, as the security just isn’t there for a huge mass elevated high off the ground. American-made workdesks will certainly be much better suited to these applications, and also for a relatively noticeable reason. Practically all American-made bases are made in United States factories that are owned by Swedish, Danish or German firms that developed this industry, and also their typical citizens are a whole lot taller than the average Asian customer, so they began making longer-stroke training legs a very long time ago. As well as they have much more robotic automation, laser-cutting devices, and large experience making standing workdesk bases, it goes without saying.

If you’re not too high, do not have an excessive quantity of hefty equipment on your desktop computer, and also do not require as well wide of a workdesk, the StandDesk Pro will provide you excellent bang for your buck.

All that may transform with Yu’s assured StandDesk Pro 2.0 style that he expects to launch at some point in the future. Originally we were informed we ‘d see it by June 2018. More than a year later on it has yet to appear, and Yu states he’s had difficulty getting the product top quality he needs out of several Chinese manufacturing facilities he’s tried dealing with. The new design is supposedly going to be a lot easier to construct and have a heftier bar style, to name a few refinements. He says the brand-new base will be supplied in both a “T-Leg” and “C-Leg” configuration, minimizing our problem regarding side-load emphasizing on the training columns.

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

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

The StandDesk was created by millennials, is marketed right at millennials, and also has actually been demolished by millennials in excellent volumes. While it carries a ten-year service warranty (the longest of any Chinese-made base), in this case it’s not always a reputable indicator of the anticipated helpful life of the training columns. For the rate, the StandDesk is a fantastic lower-cost alternative to the UpLift, Jarvis as well as other Chinese-made desks. Despite its stability concerns this is a much much better item than the Autonomous SmartDesk or IKEA Bekant might ever hope to be, and also a good value generally. It’s the mid-priced offering in the wide classification of Chinese-made desks that is winning over customers from both its more affordable and pricier peers.

StandDesk Construction, Configuration, as well as Devices

Building the desk is pretty straight forward if you adhere to the thorough guidelines. All of the screws, screws, washers, and also spring washing machines can be found in different bags that are noted with their location: table top, structure, as well as spares. There’s a consisted of hex tool for fastening every one of the screws right into the frame, or, pop in a hex little bit into your power device– just be careful not to over-tighten.

All of the parts have a top quality finish to them with rounded edges 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 additionally includes height-adjustable rotation equipments to support the front-to-back motion of the desk, which was extremely handy for the carpeted office floor. I’m also utilizing a floor mat to safeguard the rug from chair wheel damages at resting height, and also press the chair back when I’m transitioning to standing height.

Standdesk-Foot

The luxurious controller deserved the financial investment. The buttons are all variable stress programmed, meaning the up and down arrows will change the height by 1/10th of an inch with a solitary press, or continuously readjust the height by about 0.7 inches per second if you hold the button for two secs. The memory switches are comparable in style: push to remember the height setup, or hold the button down for 5 secs to save a new elevation value. I’m utilizing button 1 for my sitting position and also button 4 for my standing setting, which gives me 2 and 3 for anything I may need in the future.

Using my Standdesk

I have actually been utilizing the brand-new workdesk for a couple of weeks and have actually jotted down my first perceptions:

The electric motors are quiet but can be listened to in the next area over. It takes possibly 25 secs for the desk to fully shift from sitting to standing based upon my presets.
I use an Ergotron side-by-side monitor arm (particularly this LX version), causing the desk to get a little rocky when I shift my weight against the key-board. In knowledge, I need to have purchased the bar upgrade for my desk after establishing the weight of my displays. If you plan to do a twin screen setup, get the crossbar.

Because gravity presses the discs in a human spine, I need to raise the desk greater in the morning and also reduced it at night.

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

Performance

Despite any type of troubles I may have had with the mobile phone or the cookie-cutter design, basically all of those problems washed away once I actually got down to utilizing this thing.

Although I really did not think it was also possible, the StandDesk in some way handles to be a lot more stable than the Jarvis, both at sitting as well as standing heights. The majority of days I such as to run my Jarvis at max height while pressed against my wall; not always due to the fact that it’s that unsteady, however even if I want as much stability as I can obtain.

The StandDesk one ups the gambit also better, showing to be just as constant on its own at standing height as the Jarvis is with wall support. This is all without the company’s bar addition, which they declare includes much more stability when acquired as a part of the plan deal.When it comes to weight tolerance, the StandDesk shares yet a lot more stats with the Jarvis, being ranked for up to 350 lbs of weight ability.

I’ve been utilizing the desk for regarding 3 weeks now for daily job (and adhering to standing desk ideal methods), whether it’s inputting out evaluations like this one from our desktop or a laptop computer once in a while. The desk stands up well versus non-coastered drinks, and also the coating on top of the desk still really feels equally as smooth as well as glossy as the day I opened it despite days of sweaty wrists wresting on it as well as numerous wipe downs with a rag.

I never deliberately attempt to damage any desks as well hard, during some lighter examinations (throwing a set of keys onto it from a distance, for example), it still held up without as well lots of visible indications of damage.

When I measured the noise outcome of the desk while it increased from a resting placement to standing and back again, it was by much the quietest we’ve examined. I could barely get it to make more than about 9.5 dB of noise, so if your largest concern is the whirr of your motor, this is most definitely the one for you.

Customer support

Currently, typically I do not consist of much concerning the client service support of any type of given business, only because I really feel that generally if an item works the way its meant to, I should not ever have a factor to call them to begin with. And while I wish I could claim that was the case during my experience with StandDesk, I merely can not finish this testimonial without pointing out the numerous, relatively countless troubles I experienced attempting to get my desk assembled.

For starters, the desk I was sent really did not have any kind of memory mobile included originally, which suggested I had no chance of really managing the up/down feature on the desk itself. I contacted StandDesk regarding this issue, that got back to me around a day later on with an apology and also a promise that a brand-new one would be shipped quickly.

Standdesk testimonial handset

The source of all our issues …
Concerning 4 days later on a mobile phone got here in the mail. The mobile originally turned on, however it had not been long prior to I observed that none of the programmable switches worked, nor did the down switch, but also for some reason the “memory” button took care of the down feature just fine. I contacted the company once again, and they apologized for the mixup and also stated they would certainly have a new panel and also control box out to me within the week.

Over 2 weeks later my brand-new panel and control box arrived. When I installed them both the desk ultimately began working the means it was supposed to, however not after nearly a month of waiting as well as to and fro with a company that couldn’t keep in mind to deliver a core element of their product inside the same box from the start.

Points to Take into consideration

Despite its bankable features, this stand workdesk additionally has its own downsides. Since no particular stand workdesk might capture every one of the attributes that you may need, you may think about these in your decision-making.

Absence of a Crossbar as requirement

Not having a supporting bar is absolutely not a deal-breaker, specifically taking into consideration some of our various other preferred desks such as the Fully Jarvis additionally do not have one. This workdesk does have one if you want, however it is a paid add-on (much more on this later on also).

The crossbar is seen by some as a hindrance, making it tougher to put your legs pleasantly below the desk. Others, on the other hand, discover that they supply included security, usually essential when desks are fully prolonged.

We have not check out any kind of problems of the stability of this workdesk, so we don’t assume its something to actually be concerned about, although if you really wanted a desk with a crossbar after that we recommend you have a look at the Varidesk ProDesk 60 Electric.

Conversely, StandDesk does offer a different add-on bar that you can include in the desk yourself, just for an additional $49.95.

Security

The security of a standing workdesk is just one of one of the most crucial facets of these desks. Without a steady desk you’ll discover it hard to focus, which can result in you becoming much less curious about making use of the desk at standing height. To get the most effective return on your financial investment, you’ll want to be happy when making use of the desk.

Because the StandDesk Simple is the first desk that I have checked with an optional cross assistance, I will break down my stability tests right into two areas. Both examinations will certainly include the common front to back rocking examination and a left to ideal wobble. The very first will be without the cross assistance and the second will be with it. Simply to note, StandDesk.co states that the enhancement of the cross assistance can boost stability by up to 15%. I have no suggestion how they created that number.

Without Cross Assistance

Left to Right: The wobble test was a different situation. StandDesk Simple was the second workdesk that I evaluated that wobbled near the bottom with weight on the desktop. The very first was the IKEA Bekant. By the time it got to 36″ the shaking motion misbehaved. Yet factor it would certainly impact your work.

With Cross Assistance

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

Left to Right: Including the cross assistance to the StandDesk enhanced the wobble movement for lower elevations. With the cross assistance the wobble activity really did not start up until you reached 35″. By 39″ the wobble activity came to be poor.

Keep in mind: It’s really crucial with adjustable standing workdesks to completely tighten up all hardware. If there is equipment that is not entirely tight, the activity experienced when extended to standing elevation will certainly be overemphasized. This is particularly real with a workdesk framework that consists of 32 bolts, there are much a lot of points at which the desk has a chance to relocate.

Conclusion

Like all the Chinese bases we’ve checked in our laboratories, we need to tighten our recommendation on the StandDesk Pro to much shorter users with narrower desktops, as the stability just isn’t there for a big mass boosted high off the ground. American-made desks will certainly be much better suited to these applications, and for a fairly apparent factor. Virtually all American-made bases are made in US factories that are possessed by Swedish, Danish or German business that designed this industry, and also their average people are a whole lot taller than the ordinary Oriental customer, so they began making longer-stroke training legs a long time ago. As well as they have far more robotic automation, laser-cutting devices, as well as large experience making standing desk bases, obviously.

If you’re not also tall, do not have an extreme amount of hefty tools on your desktop, as well as don’t require as well vast of a workdesk, the StandDesk Pro will certainly provide you good bang for your buck.

All that might alter with Yu’s promised StandDesk Pro 2.0 style that he anticipates to launch 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 emerge, and also Yu states he’s had trouble obtaining the item quality he requires out of numerous Chinese factories he’s attempted dealing with. The new style is allegedly going to be a lot easier to set up and also have a heftier crossbar style, among other improvements. He states the brand-new base will be supplied in both a “T-Leg” as well as “C-Leg” configuration, minimizing our issue regarding side-load stressing on the training columns.

If this brand-new base ever before comes to market we’ll update you right here. We’re not holding our breath any longer as the most recent information on the firm is that Yu shut the tiny Los Angeles workplace as well as 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 efficiency has been present via 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 color options, it has taken the mantle away from StandDesk’s long-ago standing as the most effective standing desk under $400.
