The StandDesk was developed by millennials, is marketed right at millennials, as well as has been gobbled up by millennials in outstanding quantities. While it lugs a ten-year service warranty (the lengthiest of any kind of Chinese-made base), in this situation it’s not necessarily a dependable indicator of the anticipated beneficial life of the lifting columns. For the price, the StandDesk is a wonderful lower-cost option to the UpLift, Jarvis and various other Chinese-made workdesks. Regardless of its stability concerns this is a much better product than the Autonomous SmartDesk or IKEA Bekant can ever before intend to be, as well as a good value in general. It’s the mid-priced offering in the wide classification of Chinese-made workdesks that is swaying consumers from both its cheaper as well as more expensive peers.

StandDesk Construction, Configuration, and Devices

Developing the desk is rather easy if you follow the in-depth instructions. All of the screws, bolts, washers, as well as springtime washers been available in different bags that are noted with their destination: table top, framework, and spares. There’s a consisted of hex tool for securing every one of the bolts right into the frame, or, pop in a hex little bit right into your power tool– just beware not to over-tighten.

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

Standdesk-Leg

The foot assembly additionally includes height-adjustable rotation equipments to maintain the front-to-back motion of the desk, which was really valuable for the carpeted office flooring. I’m likewise making use of a floor mat to safeguard the carpet from chair wheel damage at resting height, as well as push the chair back when I’m transitioning to standing height.

Standdesk-Foot

The deluxe controller deserved the investment. The switches are all variable pressure set, indicating the up and down arrows will certainly readjust the height by 1/10th of an inch with a single press, or continuously change the height by about 0.7 inches per 2nd if you hold the switch for two secs. The memory buttons are comparable in style: press to recall the elevation setting, or hold the button down for 5 seconds to store a brand-new elevation value. I’m using button 1 for my sitting position and switch 4 for my standing position, which gives me 2 as well as 3 for anything I may need in the future.

Utilizing my Standdesk

I’ve been using the new workdesk for a few weeks as well as have documented my first impressions:

The electric motors are quiet but can be listened to in the next room over. It takes probably 25 seconds for the desk to completely shift from resting to standing based upon my presets.
I utilize an Ergotron side-by-side keep an eye on arm (especially this LX design), creating the desk to obtain a little rocky when I move my weight against the keyboard. In hindsight, I must have purchased the bar upgrade for my desk after determining the weight of my monitors. If you plan to do a twin monitor setup, obtain the bar.

Since gravity compresses the discs in a human spine, I require to raise the desk higher in the early morning and reduced it in the evening.

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

Performance

Regardless of any issues I might have had with the phone or the cookie-cutter design, virtually all of those problems removed once I actually got down to utilizing this thing.

Although I really did not think it was even feasible, the StandDesk somehow handles to be much more steady than the Jarvis, both at sitting as well as standing elevations. Many days I like to run my Jarvis at max elevation while pressed against my wall surface; not always since it’s that unsteady, but even if I desire as much stability as I can obtain.

The StandDesk one ups the gambit also further, proving to be equally as consistent by itself at standing height as the Jarvis is with wall support. This is all without the company’s bar addition, which they assert adds a lot more security when bought as a part of the bundle deal.When it involves weight resistance, the StandDesk shares yet even more statistics with the Jarvis, being ranked for as much as 350 lbs of weight capability.

I have actually been using the desk for regarding 3 weeks currently for daily work (and also following standing desk best methods), whether it’s typing out testimonials like this one from our desktop computer or a laptop computer periodically. The desk stands up well against non-coastered beverages, and also the finish on top of the desk still really feels equally as smooth and also slick as the day I opened it in spite of days of sweaty wrists wresting on it and also several wipe downs with a cloth.

I never ever intentionally try to dent any kind of workdesks too hard, during some lighter tests (tossing a collection of keys onto it from a distance, for example), it still held up without as well lots of visible indications of damages.

Last but not least, when I gauged the sound output of the desk while it increased from a resting position to standing as well as back once more, it was without a doubt the quietest we’ve examined yet. I could barely get it to make greater than regarding 9.5 dB of noise, so if your biggest problem is the whirr of your electric motor, this is definitely the one for you.

Client service

Now, usually I do not consist of much concerning the customer support support of any type of offered firm, only due to the fact that I really feel that generally if a product works the way its expected to, I shouldn’t ever have a reason to call them to begin with. And also while I wish I could state that held true throughout my experience with StandDesk, I merely can’t finish this review without mentioning the many, apparently endless problems I ran into trying to get my workdesk put together.

For beginners, the desk I was sent didn’t have any kind of memory phone consisted of initially, which indicated I had no way of actually managing the up/down feature on the desk itself. I spoke to StandDesk concerning this problem, who returned to me around a day later on with an apology as well as an assurance that a new one would be shipped quickly.

Standdesk evaluation handset

The resource of all our troubles …
Regarding four days later on a phone showed up in the mail. The mobile phone initially switched on, but it had not been long before I saw that none of the programmable buttons worked, neither did the down switch, but also for some factor the “memory” button took care of the down function simply fine. I called the firm again, and also they apologized for the mixup and said they would have a new panel as well as control box bent on me within the week.

Over two weeks later on my brand-new panel and also control box showed up. Once I installed them both the desk ultimately began working the way it was supposed to, yet not after virtually a month of waiting and to and fro with a company that could not bear in mind to deliver a core element of their item inside the exact same box from the start.

Points to Think about

Despite its bankable functions, this stand desk likewise has its very own downsides. Given that no single stand desk can record all of the functions that you might need, you might consider these in your decision-making.

Lack of a Crossbar as criterion

Not having a stabilizing bar is certainly not a deal-breaker, especially thinking about several of our other preferred workdesks such as the Completely Jarvis additionally do not have one. In fact, this desk does have one if you desire, however it is a paid add-on (a lot more on this later also).

The bar is seen by some as a hindrance, making it more challenging to place your legs conveniently below the desk. Others, on the other hand, find that they supply included stability, typically essential when desks are fully prolonged.

We have not review any kind of complaints of the security of this desk, so we don’t believe its something to truly be worried regarding, although if you truly wanted a desk with a bar after that we suggest you take a look at the Varidesk ProDesk 60 Electric.

Additionally, StandDesk does provide a separate add-on bar that you can include in the desk yourself, just for an additional $49.95.

Stability

The security of a standing desk is among one of the most essential facets of these desks. Without a stable desk you’ll discover it difficult to concentrate, which could bring about you ending up being much less interested in using the desk at standing elevation. To get the best return on your financial investment, you’ll intend to be happy when using the desk.

Because the StandDesk Simple is the first desk that I have evaluated with an optional cross assistance, I will break down my stability examinations right into two sections. Both tests will consist of the typical front to back shaking examination as well as a left to best wobble. The initial will certainly be without the cross support as well as the secondly will be with it. Just to note, StandDesk.co says that the enhancement of the cross support can enhance security by approximately 15%. I have no concept exactly how they thought of that number.

Without Cross Support

Left to Right: The wobble test was a different scenario. StandDesk Simple was the 2nd workdesk that I tested that tottered near the bottom with weight on the desktop computer. The first was the IKEA Bekant. By the time it got to 36″ the rocking activity was bad. Yet factor it would certainly affect your job.

With Cross Support

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

Delegated Right: Adding the cross assistance to the StandDesk improved the wobble movement for lower heights. With the cross assistance the wobble activity really did not start until you reached 35″. By 39″ the wobble movement came to be negative.

Keep in mind: It’s extremely crucial with flexible standing desks to totally tighten all hardware. If there is equipment that is not entirely limited, the activity experienced when encompassed standing height will be overemphasized. This is particularly true with a workdesk frame that includes 32 screws, there are much too many factors at which the desk has an opportunity to move.

Verdict

Like all the Chinese bases we’ve tested in our labs, we need to narrow our suggestion on the StandDesk Pro to shorter individuals with narrower desktops, as the security just isn’t there for a huge mass elevated high off the ground. American-made workdesks will be better fit to these applications, and also for a relatively obvious reason. Virtually all American-made bases are made in United States manufacturing facilities that are possessed by Swedish, Danish or German firms that invented this sector, and their ordinary residents are a lot taller than the average Oriental customer, so they started making longer-stroke training legs a long time earlier. And also they have much more robot automation, laser-cutting equipment, and sheer experience making standing desk bases, needless to say.

If you’re not as well tall, do not have an extreme amount of heavy tools on your desktop, and also don’t require also large of a desk, the StandDesk Pro will certainly offer you great bang for your dollar.

All that might change with Yu’s promised StandDesk Pro 2.0 style that he expects to release at some time in the future. Initially we were told we would certainly see it by June 2018. Greater than a year later on it has yet to emerge, and also Yu states he’s had difficulty obtaining the item high quality he needs out of a number of Chinese factories he’s tried working with. The brand-new design is supposedly going to be much easier to construct and also have a heftier bar style, among other improvements. He says the new base will be offered in both a “T-Leg” and also “C-Leg” setup, alleviating our concern about side-load worrying on the training columns.

If this new base ever before comes to market we’ll upgrade you below. But we’re not holding our breath any longer as one of the most recent news on the company is that Yu closed the little Los Angeles workplace as well as has actually relocated it to join with all its other workers in southeast Asia.

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

The StandDesk was created by millennials, is marketed straight at millennials, as well as has been demolished by millennials in outstanding volumes. While it lugs a ten-year warranty (the longest of any type of Chinese-made base), in this instance it’s not always a reliable indicator of the anticipated helpful life of the training columns. For the rate, the StandDesk is a wonderful lower-cost option to the UpLift, Jarvis as well as other Chinese-made desks. In spite of its stability problems this is a far much better product than the Autonomous SmartDesk or IKEA Bekant might ever hope to be, as well as a good value on the whole. It’s the mid-priced offering in the broad category of Chinese-made workdesks that is winning over clients from both its less costly and also pricier peers.

Every one of the parts have a top quality coating to them with rounded edges to avoid cut hands. Below is a shot of all the screws that are fastened to the leg setting up– it’s not going anywhere!

I’m also making use of a flooring mat to protect the rug from chair wheel damage at resting elevation, and also press the chair back when I’m transitioning to standing elevation.

Standdesk-Foot

The deluxe controller deserved the investment. The buttons are all variable stress programmed, implying the backwards and forwards arrows will certainly adjust the height by 1/10th of an inch with a single press, or constantly readjust the height by around 0.7 inches per second if you hold the button for two secs. The memory switches are comparable in design: press to recall the elevation setting, or hold the button down for 5 seconds to store a new elevation worth.

An anti-fatigue floor covering is definitely necessary for long duration standing. I acquired an Octagonal floor covering from SmartCells, using rubber “cells” that are imagined listed below.

Performance

I didn’t believe it was also feasible, the StandDesk in some way takes care of to be even a lot more secure than the Jarvis, both at resting as well as standing elevations. A lot of days I like to run my Jarvis at max elevation while pushed against my wall; not always due to the fact that it’s that shaky, yet even if I want as much security as I can get.

The StandDesk one ups the gambit also additionally, verifying to be equally as constant on its own at standing elevation as the Jarvis is with wall support. This is all without the business’s crossbar addition, which they assert adds a lot more stability when acquired as a part of the package deal.When it involves weight resistance, the StandDesk shares yet even more statistics with the Jarvis, being ranked for approximately 350 lbs of weight capability.

I’ve been making use of the desk for about three weeks now for daily work (as well as adhering to standing desk ideal practices), whether it’s keying out reviews such as this one from our desktop computer or a laptop from time to time. The desk holds up well against non-coastered drinks, as well as the coating in addition to the desk still feels equally as smooth and also slick as the day I opened it in spite of days of perspiring wrists wresting on it as well as multiple wipe downs with a cloth.

I might barely get it to make more than about 9.5 dB of noise, so if your largest worry is the whirr of your electric motor, this is definitely the one for you.

Customer support

Currently, usually I do not include much regarding the customer service support of any type of provided firm, just due to the fact that I feel that in general if an item functions the way its expected to, I should not ever before have a factor to call them in the first place. And while I want I can claim that was the case during my experience with StandDesk, I simply can not finish this review without discussing the numerous, relatively unlimited problems I encountered attempting to get my desk put together.

For beginners, the desk I was sent out didn’t have any type of memory phone included initially, which indicated I had no other way of really controlling the up/down feature on the desk itself. I got in touch with StandDesk concerning this concern, who returned to me around a day later on with an apology as well as a guarantee that a brand-new one would be shipped out soon.

The initial will certainly lack the cross support as well as the secondly will be with it. Just to note, StandDesk.co claims that the addition of the cross assistance can boost stability by up to 15%. I have no idea exactly how they generated that number.

Keep in mind: It’s really essential with adjustable standing workdesks to fully tighten up all equipment. If there is hardware that is not completely tight, the movement experienced when included standing elevation will certainly be exaggerated. This is especially real with a desk framework that consists of 32 screws, there are much way too many factors at which the desk has a chance to relocate.

Verdict

Like all the Chinese bases we have actually examined in our laboratories, we need to narrow our suggestion on the StandDesk Pro to much 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 much better fit to these applications, and also for a relatively obvious reason. Essentially all American-made bases are made in United States factories that are owned by Swedish, Danish or German business that developed this sector, and their typical people are a lot taller than the ordinary Oriental customer, so they began making longer-stroke lifting legs a long time back. And they have far more robot automation, laser-cutting tools, and also sheer experience making standing workdesk bases, needless to say.

Yet if you’re not too tall, don’t have an extreme amount of heavy devices on your desktop, and do not need too wide of a desk, the StandDesk Pro will certainly offer you great bang for your buck.

All that might alter with Yu’s promised StandDesk Pro 2.0 layout that he anticipates to release sometime in the future. Originally we were told we would certainly see it by June 2018. More than a year later on it has yet to materialize, and Yu states he’s had difficulty obtaining the item top quality he needs out of several Chinese manufacturing facilities he’s attempted working with. The new layout is supposedly mosting likely to be a lot easier to set up as well as have a heftier bar design, among other refinements. He claims the new base will certainly be used in both a “T-Leg” as well as “C-Leg” setup, easing our problem concerning side-load stressing on the lifting columns.

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

In the meantime, a new $399 standing workdesk with excellent efficiency has been introduce with the brand-new joint endeavor between US-based iMovR and China-based Eureka, the i1 electric standing desk. While limited in size and color choices, it has actually taken the mantle far from StandDesk’s long-ago standing as the most effective standing desk under $400.

The StandDesk was produced by millennials, is marketed directly at millennials, and has actually been gobbled up by millennials in outstanding quantities. While it carries a ten-year warranty (the lengthiest of any type of Chinese-made base), in this case it’s not necessarily a dependable indication of the anticipated valuable life of the training columns. For the price, the StandDesk is a wonderful lower-cost alternative to the UpLift, Jarvis as well as various other Chinese-made desks. In spite of its stability concerns this is a much better product than the Autonomous SmartDesk or IKEA Bekant could ever wish to be, and a good value in general. It’s the mid-priced offering in the wide group of Chinese-made workdesks that is swaying customers from both its cheaper and costlier peers.

StandDesk Building And Construction, Setup, and Gizmos

Developing the desk is quite direct if you follow the comprehensive guidelines. All of the screws, screws, washing machines, and spring washers come in separate bags that are noted with their location: table top, framework, and also spares. There’s an included hex device for attaching all of the bolts into the frame, or, pop in a hex bit into your power device– just take care not to over-tighten.

Every one of the components have a top quality coating to them with rounded edges to avoid cut hands. Below is a shot of all the bolts that are secured to the leg setting up– it’s not going anywhere!

Standdesk-Leg

The foot setting up additionally consists of height-adjustable rotation equipments to maintain the front-to-back movement of the desk, which was very handy for the carpeted office floor. I’m also using a floor mat to protect the rug from chair wheel damages at sitting elevation, and press the chair when I’m transitioning to standing height.

Standdesk-Foot

The luxurious controller deserved the financial investment. The buttons are all variable pressure configured, implying the up and down arrowheads will adjust the elevation by 1/10th of an inch with a single press, or constantly change the elevation by about 0.7 inches per second if you hold the switch for two secs. The memory switches are similar in design: press to remember the height setup, or hold the button down for five seconds to store a new elevation worth. I’m making use of switch 1 for my resting position as well as button 4 for my standing placement, which offers me 2 as well as 3 for anything I could require in the future.

Standdesk-Memory-unit

Using my Standdesk

I have actually been using the new workdesk for a couple of weeks as well as have actually written down my first impacts:

The electric motors are quiet but can be listened to in the following area over. It takes probably 25 seconds for the desk to totally shift from resting to standing based upon my presets.
I make use of an Ergotron side-by-side check arm (particularly this LX design), causing the desk to get a little rough when I shift my weight against the keyboard. In hindsight, I need to have purchased the bar upgrade for my workdesk after identifying the weight of my screens. If you prepare to do a twin screen configuration, get the bar.

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

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

Performance

Despite any kind of issues I may have had with the handset or the cookie-cutter layout, practically every one of those concerns washed away when I in fact came down to using this point.

Although I didn’t assume it was even possible, the StandDesk in some way manages to be even more steady than the Jarvis, both at sitting and standing heights. The majority of days I like to run my Jarvis at max height while pressed versus my wall; not necessarily due to the fact that it’s that wobbly, however just because I desire as much stability as I can get.

The StandDesk one ups the gambit even additionally, confirming to be equally as consistent on its own at standing height as the Jarvis is with wall support. This is all without the firm’s bar addition, which they claim adds even more stability when bought as a part of the package deal.When it pertains to weight resistance, the StandDesk shares yet much more stats with the Jarvis, being rated for as much as 350 lbs of weight ability.

I’ve been making use of the desk for about 3 weeks currently for daily work (as well as complying with standing workdesk best practices), whether it’s keying out reviews similar to this one from our desktop computer or a laptop periodically. The desk holds up well versus non-coastered beverages, as well as the finish in addition to the desk still really feels just as smooth and glossy as the day I opened it in spite of days of sweaty wrists wresting on it and also several wipe downs with a rag.

I never purposefully try to dent any workdesks too hard, during some lighter examinations (throwing a collection of tricks onto it from a distance, for instance), it still held up without as well several noticeable indicators of damage.

Last but not least, when I gauged the sound outcome of the desk while it increased from a resting position to standing and also back again, it was by far the quietest we’ve tested yet. I might hardly get it to make greater than regarding 9.5 dB of sound, so if your largest problem is the whirr of your motor, this is most definitely the one for you.

Customer Service

Now, generally I do not include much regarding the customer service support of any type of given firm, only since I feel that as a whole if a product works the method its supposed to, I should not ever before have a reason to call them in the first place. As well as while I desire I might say that was the case throughout my experience with StandDesk, I merely can’t finish this testimonial without stating the various, seemingly countless problems I encountered attempting to get my workdesk put together.

For beginners, the desk I was sent out didn’t have any kind of memory mobile phone consisted of initially, which implied I had no way of really controlling the up/down function on the desk itself. I got in touch with StandDesk regarding this concern, that got back to me around a day later with an apology as well as a guarantee that a new one would be shipped shortly.

Standdesk review handset

The source of all our problems …
About four days later on a phone showed up in the mail. The handset at first activated, but it had not been long before I saw that none of the programmable switches functioned, neither did the down button, however, for some reason the “memory” button took care of the down function just fine. I contacted the company again, as well as 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 two weeks later my new panel and also control box arrived. Once I mounted them both the desk lastly started functioning the way it was expected to, however not after practically a month of waiting and also backward and forward with a business that couldn’t remember to deliver a core part of their product inside the very same box from the get-go.

Points to Take into consideration

Despite its bankable functions, this stand workdesk also has its very own downsides. Considering that no particular stand desk might catch every one of the attributes that you may need, you may think about these in your decision-making.

Absence of a Bar as requirement

Not having a supporting bar is definitely not a deal-breaker, specifically considering some of our various other favored desks such as the Completely Jarvis additionally don’t have one. As a matter of fact, this workdesk does have one if you want, but it is a paid add-on (extra on this later on also).

The crossbar is seen by some as an obstacle, making it harder to put your legs comfortably listed below the desk. Others, on the other hand, locate that they provide included stability, usually important when desks are completely expanded.

We have not review any kind of problems of the stability of this workdesk, so we don’t think its something to really be concerned about, although if you really wanted a workdesk with a crossbar then we advise you take a look at the Varidesk ProDesk 60 Electric.

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

Security

The security of a standing workdesk is among the most important aspects of these desks. Without a stable desk you’ll discover it tough to focus, which might cause you coming to be less thinking about utilizing the desk at standing height. To obtain the very best return on your investment, you’ll want to more than happy when using the desk.

Because the StandDesk Simple is the first desk that I have evaluated with an optional cross assistance, I will certainly break down my security examinations into 2 areas. Both examinations will include the common front to back shaking examination and a left to best wobble. The first will certainly be without the cross assistance and the second will be with it. Just to note, StandDesk.co says that the enhancement of the cross assistance can raise security by up to 15%. I have no concept exactly how they developed that number.

Without Cross Assistance

Left to Right: The wobble examination was a different circumstance. StandDesk Simple was the 2nd desk that I examined that tottered at the bottom with weight on the desktop computer. The first was the IKEA Bekant. By the time it got to 36″ the shaking movement was bad. Yet factor it would certainly affect your work.

With Cross Support

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

Entrusted to Right: Including the cross assistance to the StandDesk boosted the wobble activity for reduced heights. With the cross support the wobble motion really did not begin till you got to 35″. By 39″ the wobble movement came to be bad.

Keep in mind: It’s really essential with adjustable standing desks to totally tighten all equipment. If there is hardware that is not totally tight, the activity experienced when encompassed standing height will certainly be exaggerated. This is especially true with a desk framework that includes 32 screws, there are far way too many factors at which the desk has a chance to move.

Verdict

Like all the Chinese bases we’ve evaluated in our laboratories, we have to tighten our referral on the StandDesk Pro to shorter customers 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 matched to these applications, and for a fairly noticeable reason. Practically all American-made bases are made in US manufacturing facilities that are had by Swedish, Danish or German companies that invented this sector, as well as their average people are a great deal taller than the average Asian consumer, so they started making longer-stroke training legs a very long time back. And also they have even more robot automation, laser-cutting devices, as well as large experience making standing desk bases, needless to say.

But if you’re not also high, do not have an extreme amount of heavy equipment on your desktop, and also don’t require also wide of a workdesk, the StandDesk Pro will certainly offer you excellent value.

All that may change with Yu’s assured StandDesk Pro 2.0 layout that he anticipates to release at some point in the future. Originally we were told we ‘d see it by June 2018. Greater than a year later it has yet to appear, and also Yu states he’s had problem obtaining the product high quality he needs out of a number of Chinese manufacturing facilities he’s attempted dealing with. The new style is allegedly going to be a lot easier to construct and have a heftier bar style, to name a few refinements. He claims the new base will be provided in both a “T-Leg” as well as “C-Leg” arrangement, alleviating our issue about side-load stressing on the training columns.

If this new base ever before comes to market we’ll upgrade you right here. We’re not holding our breath any kind of longer as the most current information on the company is that Yu shut the tiny Los Angeles workplace and has actually relocated it to join with all its various other employees in southeast Asia.

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