The StandDesk was developed by millennials, is marketed directly at millennials, and also has actually been demolished by millennials in impressive volumes. While it brings a ten-year guarantee (the lengthiest of any type of Chinese-made base), in this instance it’s not always a reliable sign of the anticipated beneficial life of the training columns. But also for the cost, the StandDesk is a wonderful lower-cost alternative to the UpLift, Jarvis and various other Chinese-made desks. Regardless of its stability issues this is a much much better item than the Autonomous SmartDesk or IKEA Bekant could ever intend to be, as well as a good value in general. It’s the mid-priced offering in the broad group of Chinese-made desks that is gaining consumers from both its more affordable as well as costlier peers.

StandDesk Building, Arrangement, as well as Gizmos

Constructing the desk is pretty easy if you follow the comprehensive instructions. Every one of the screws, screws, washers, and also spring washers can be found in different bags that are marked with their location: table top, framework, and spares. There’s a consisted of hex device for attaching every one of the bolts right into the framework, or, pop in a hex bit into your power device– simply beware not to over-tighten.

Every one of the parts have a premium 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 setting up– it’s not going anywhere!

Standdesk-Leg

The foot assembly likewise includes height-adjustable turning gears to maintain the front-to-back activity of the desk, which was extremely valuable for the carpeted office floor. I’m likewise making use of a flooring mat to shield the rug from chair wheel damage at sitting elevation, and also push the chair when I’m transitioning to standing elevation.

Standdesk-Foot

The deluxe controller was worth the investment. The switches are all variable pressure programmed, implying the backwards and forwards arrowheads will adjust the height by 1/10th of an inch with a solitary press, or constantly readjust the elevation by around 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 elevation value. I’m utilizing button 1 for my sitting setting as well as button 4 for my standing setting, which provides me 2 and 3 for anything I could require in the future.

Standdesk-Memory-unit

Using my Standdesk

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

The motors are quiet however can be heard in the next area over. It takes possibly 25 seconds for the desk to totally change from resting to standing based on my presets.
I make use of an Ergotron side-by-side monitor arm (specifically this LX model), creating the desk to obtain a little rocky when I shift my weight against the keyboard. In knowledge, I need to have bought the bar upgrade for my workdesk after establishing the weight of my screens. If you prepare to do a double display arrangement, get the bar.

Due to the fact that gravity presses the discs in a human spine, I require to increase the desk higher in the morning and reduced it at night.

An anti-fatigue mat is absolutely important for long period of time standing. I bought an Octagonal floor covering from SmartCells, making use of rubber “cells” that are envisioned below.

Efficiency

Regardless of any type of troubles I might have had with the mobile or the cookie-cutter design, practically all of those worries washed away when I really came down to using this point.

I really did not believe it was also possible, the StandDesk somehow takes care of to be also more secure 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 pushed versus my wall surface; not necessarily due to the fact that it’s that unsteady, but just because I desire as much security as I can get.

The StandDesk one ups the gambit even better, confirming to be just as stable on its own at standing elevation as the Jarvis is with wall support. This is all without the company’s crossbar addition, which they claim adds even more security when purchased as a part of the package deal.When it comes to weight tolerance, the StandDesk shares yet a lot more statistics with the Jarvis, being rated for approximately 350 lbs of weight capacity.

I have actually been making use of the desk for regarding three weeks now for day-to-day work (and also complying with standing desk ideal methods), whether it’s typing out testimonials like this one from our desktop computer or a laptop every so often. The desk stands up well against non-coastered beverages, as well as the finish on top of the desk still really feels just as smooth and also glossy as the day I opened it in spite of days of sweaty wrists wresting on it as well as numerous clean downs with a rag.

I never deliberately try to damage any desks too hard, during some lighter tests (throwing a collection of keys onto it from a range, for instance), it still held up without as well numerous visible signs of damage.

When I determined the noise outcome of the workdesk while it increased from a sitting setting to standing as well as back again, it was by far the quietest we’ve evaluated. I could barely get it to make more than concerning 9.5 dB of noise, so if your largest problem is the whirr of your electric motor, this is absolutely the one for you.

Customer Service

Now, usually I do not include much concerning the customer care support of any type of given company, only due to the fact that I really feel that as a whole if an item functions the way its supposed to, I should not ever have a factor to call them in the first place. As well as while I desire I could state that was the case throughout my experience with StandDesk, I just can not finish this testimonial without pointing out the numerous, apparently countless problems I ran into trying to get my desk created.

For beginners, the desk I was sent didn’t have any memory phone consisted of initially, which implied I had no way of really managing the up/down feature on the desk itself. I called StandDesk concerning this problem, that returned to me around a day later on with an apology and a guarantee that a new one would be shipped quickly.

Standdesk testimonial handset

The resource of all our issues …
Regarding four days later a handset arrived in the mail. The mobile phone at first turned on, however it wasn’t long prior to I noticed that none of the programmable switches worked, neither did the down switch, however, for some factor the “memory” button dealt with the down function just fine. I got in touch with the firm again, and also they apologized for the mixup and also stated they would have a new panel as well as control box out to me within the week.

Over two weeks later on my brand-new panel as well as control box arrived. When I mounted them both the desk finally began functioning the method it was meant to, however not after almost a month of waiting and back and forth with a business that couldn’t keep in mind to ship a core component of their product inside the very same box from the start.

Points to Take into consideration

Regardless of its bankable attributes, this stand desk additionally has its own disadvantages. Considering that no singular stand desk could catch every one of the attributes that you may need, you may consider these in your decision-making.

Absence of a Crossbar as criterion

Not having a maintaining bar is definitely not a deal-breaker, particularly thinking about several of our various other favorite workdesks such as the Completely Jarvis also don’t have one. In fact, this workdesk does have one if you want, however it is a paid add-on (much more on this later on as well).

The crossbar is seen by some as a hindrance, making it harder to place your legs conveniently listed below the desk. Others, on the other hand, discover that they provide included stability, typically critical when workdesks are totally prolonged.

We have not review any issues of the security of this workdesk, so we do not assume its something to actually be worried concerning, although if you actually desired a workdesk with a bar after that we advise you have a look at the Varidesk ProDesk 60 Electric.

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

Security

The stability of a standing desk is one of one of the most essential elements of these workdesks. Without a steady workdesk you’ll discover it tough to concentrate, which might bring about you coming to be less curious about using the desk at standing elevation. To get the most effective return on your investment, you’ll intend to more than happy when utilizing the desk.

Due To The Fact That the StandDesk Simple is the initial desk that I have evaluated with an optional cross support, I will break down my stability examinations right into two areas. Both tests will certainly consist of the regular front to back rocking examination as well as a left to appropriate wobble. The first will certainly lack the cross support and also the secondly will be with it. Simply to note, StandDesk.co states that the enhancement of the cross support can raise security by as much as 15%. I have no concept just how they developed that number.

Without Cross Assistance

Left to Right: The wobble test was a various circumstance. StandDesk Simple was the second desk that I checked that wobbled near the bottom with weight on the desktop. The first was the IKEA Bekant. By the time it got to 36″ the shaking activity misbehaved. Beyond this point it would certainly influence your job.

With Cross Assistance

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

Left to Right: Adding the cross support to the StandDesk enhanced the wobble movement for lower heights. With the cross support the wobble movement didn’t start until you reached 35″. By 39″ the wobble movement ended up being bad.

Note: It’s extremely important with adjustable standing desks to totally tighten up all hardware. If there is hardware that is not entirely tight, the motion experienced when reached standing height will be exaggerated. This is especially real with a desk structure that consists of 32 bolts, there are far way too many factors at which the desk has an opportunity to move.

Final thought

Like all the Chinese bases we’ve evaluated in our labs, we need to tighten our referral on the StandDesk Pro to much shorter users with narrower desktop computers, as the stability simply isn’t there for a big mass boosted high off the ground. American-made desks will certainly be much better matched to these applications, and also for a rather apparent reason. Basically all American-made bases are made in United States manufacturing facilities that are owned by Swedish, Danish or German firms that designed this market, as well as their typical residents are a whole lot taller than the typical Oriental consumer, so they began making longer-stroke training legs a long period of time back. And also they have far more robotic automation, laser-cutting tools, and also large experience making standing workdesk bases, it goes without saying.

However if you’re not also high, do not have an inordinate quantity of heavy tools on your desktop computer, and also don’t require too wide of a desk, the StandDesk Pro will certainly give you great value.

All that might change with Yu’s guaranteed StandDesk Pro 2.0 layout that he anticipates to launch at some time in the future. Originally we were told we ‘d see it by June 2018. More than a year later on it has yet to emerge, as well as Yu states he’s had problem getting the item top quality he requires out of several Chinese factories he’s attempted dealing with. The brand-new style is supposedly going to be a lot easier to set up as well as have a heftier bar layout, among other improvements. He says the new base will be offered in both a “T-Leg” and also “C-Leg” setup, minimizing our worry regarding side-load stressing on the training columns.

If this brand-new base ever involves market we’ll upgrade you below. We’re not holding our breath any kind of longer as the most current information on the business is that Yu closed the little Los Angeles workplace as well as has actually moved it to join with all its various other workers in southeast Asia.

In the meantime, a brand-new $399 standing desk with outstanding efficiency has been present via the new joint venture in between US-based iMovR as well as China-based Eureka, the i1 electric standing desk. While restricted in dimension as well as color options, it has actually taken the mantle away from StandDesk’s long-ago status as the most effective standing desk under $400.

The StandDesk was produced by millennials, is marketed right at millennials, as well as has actually been demolished by millennials in remarkable quantities. While it carries a ten-year guarantee (the lengthiest of any Chinese-made base), in this case it’s not necessarily a reliable sign of the expected valuable life of the training columns. But for the price, the StandDesk is a great lower-cost alternative to the UpLift, Jarvis as well as various other Chinese-made workdesks. In spite of its stability problems this is a far much better product than the Autonomous SmartDesk or IKEA Bekant might ever before want to be, and a good value overall. It’s the mid-priced offering in the broad classification of Chinese-made workdesks that is winning over clients from both its cheaper as well as pricier peers.

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

The foot assembly likewise includes height-adjustable rotation equipments to maintain the front-to-back activity of the desk, which was very helpful for the carpeted office floor. I’m also using a flooring mat to safeguard the carpet from chair wheel damage at resting height, and push the chair back when I’m transitioning to standing height.

Standdesk-Foot

The deluxe controller was worth the investment. The switches are all variable pressure configured, suggesting the up and down arrowheads will certainly change the height by 1/10th of an inch with a solitary press, or continually change the height by about 0.7 inches per 2nd if you hold the button for two seconds. The memory switches are comparable in style: press to remember the height setting, or hold the button down for five secs to save a new height worth. I’m making use of button 1 for my resting position and button 4 for my standing position, which gives me 2 and 3 for anything I might require in the future.

Because gravity presses the discs in a human spinal column, I require to raise the desk greater in the morning and also lower it in the evening.

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

Efficiency

Regardless of any troubles I may have had with the handset or the cookie-cutter layout, basically every one of those problems removed when I actually came down to using this thing.

I really did not assume it was also feasible, the StandDesk in some way handles to be also much more stable than the Jarvis, both at resting and also standing elevations. Most days I such as to run my Jarvis at max height while pressed against my wall surface; not always because it’s that shaky, but just because I want as much stability as I can get.

The StandDesk one ups the gambit even additionally, 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 even more security when acquired as a part of the package deal.When it comes to weight resistance, the StandDesk shares yet a lot more statistics with the Jarvis, being rated for as much as 350 lbs of weight capability.

I’ve been utilizing the desk for concerning 3 weeks currently for daily job (as well as adhering to standing desk best methods), whether it’s inputting out reviews similar to this one from our desktop or a laptop computer once in a while.

Customer support

Currently, normally I do not include much concerning the customer support assistance of any offered firm, just since I really feel that generally if an item works the means its expected to, I should not ever have a factor to call them to begin with. And also while I wish I could state that held true throughout my experience with StandDesk, I simply can not finish this review without pointing out the numerous, seemingly countless troubles I ran into trying to obtain my workdesk put together.

If there is hardware that is not completely tight, the motion experienced when included standing height will certainly be overemphasized. This is specifically true with a desk frame that consists of 32 screws, there are far way too many factors at which the desk has a chance to relocate.

Conclusion

Like all the Chinese bases we have actually checked in our labs, we have to narrow our referral on the StandDesk Pro to shorter users with narrower desktop computers, as the stability just isn’t there for a huge mass elevated high off the ground. American-made workdesks will be much better matched to these applications, as well as for a relatively noticeable reason. Basically all American-made bases are made in US factories that are had by Swedish, Danish or German business that invented this sector, and their ordinary citizens are a lot taller than the ordinary Oriental consumer, so they began making longer-stroke lifting legs a long time ago. And also they have far more robotic automation, laser-cutting devices, and also large experience making standing desk bases, obviously.

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

All that could alter with Yu’s guaranteed StandDesk Pro 2.0 layout that he anticipates to launch at some time in the future. Originally we were informed we would certainly see it by June 2018. Greater than a year later on it has yet to materialize, as well as Yu states he’s had trouble obtaining the item quality he requires out of numerous Chinese manufacturing facilities he’s attempted working with. The brand-new layout is supposedly going to be much easier to set up and also have a heftier crossbar style, to name a few improvements. He states the new base will be offered in both a “T-Leg” and “C-Leg” arrangement, relieving our issue regarding side-load emphasizing on the training columns.

If this new base ever involves market we’ll upgrade you below. But we’re not holding our breath any kind of longer as one of the most current information on the firm is that Yu shut the tiny Los Angeles workplace and also has moved it to accompany all its various other staff members in southeast Asia.

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

The StandDesk was developed by millennials, is marketed right at millennials, and has actually been gobbled up by millennials in impressive volumes. While it brings a ten-year service warranty (the longest of any kind of Chinese-made base), in this case it’s not always a trustworthy indicator of the expected valuable life of the training columns. But for the price, the StandDesk is a wonderful lower-cost option to the UpLift, Jarvis as well as various other Chinese-made workdesks. Despite its stability problems this is a far better item than the Autonomous SmartDesk or IKEA Bekant could ever before intend to be, as well as a good value generally. It’s the mid-priced offering in the wide classification of Chinese-made workdesks that is gaining customers from both its cheaper and pricier peers.

StandDesk Construction, Setup, as well as Gadgets

Constructing the desk is rather easy if you comply with the detailed directions. All of the screws, bolts, washing machines, as well as springtime washing machines can be found in different bags that are marked with their destination: table top, frame, and spares. There’s an included hex tool for fastening every one of the bolts into the framework, or, pop in a hex little bit right into your power tool– just beware not to over-tighten.

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

Standdesk-Leg

The foot assembly also includes height-adjustable rotation equipments to support the front-to-back motion of the desk, which was really handy for the carpeted home office flooring. I’m additionally utilizing a flooring mat to shield the rug from chair wheel damage at resting height, and press the chair back when I’m transitioning to standing height.

Standdesk-Foot

The deluxe controller deserved the financial investment. The switches are all variable pressure configured, suggesting the up and down arrowheads will adjust the elevation by 1/10th of an inch with a solitary press, or continuously readjust the elevation by about 0.7 inches per second if you hold the switch for 2 seconds. The memory buttons are similar in style: press to recall the elevation setup, or hold the button down for 5 secs to save a new height value. I’m using switch 1 for my resting setting as well as button 4 for my standing placement, which gives me 2 and 3 for anything I could require in the future.

Standdesk-Memory-unit

Using my Standdesk

I have actually been utilizing the brand-new desk for a few weeks as well as have actually made a note of my preliminary impressions:

The motors are quiet however can be heard in the following room over. It takes maybe 25 secs for the desk to completely change from resting to standing based on my presets.
I make use of an Ergotron side-by-side keep an eye on arm (specifically this LX version), creating the desk to get a little rocky when I shift my weight against the keyboard. In hindsight, I must have purchased the crossbar upgrade for my workdesk after identifying the weight of my screens. If you intend to do a dual monitor configuration, obtain the crossbar.

Since gravity compresses the discs in a human back, I require to elevate the desk higher in the morning and reduced it at night.

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

Efficiency

Despite any kind of troubles I may have had with the handset or the cookie-cutter design, basically every one of those worries washed away as soon as I actually came down to using this thing.

Although I really did not assume it was also feasible, the StandDesk in some way takes care of to be a lot more stable than the Jarvis, both at sitting and standing heights. A lot of days I such as to run my Jarvis at max height while pressed versus my wall surface; not necessarily since it’s that shaky, yet even if I want as much security as I can get.

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

I’ve been using the desk for regarding three weeks currently for daily work (and also adhering to standing workdesk best methods), whether it’s typing out evaluations such as this one from our desktop computer or a laptop computer from time to time. The desk stands up well versus non-coastered drinks, as well as the surface on top of the desk still really feels equally as smooth and slick as the day I opened it in spite of days of perspiring wrists wresting on it as well as numerous clean downs with a dustcloth.

Though I never ever purposefully try to dent any workdesks also hard, throughout some lighter tests (tossing a collection of keys onto it from a distance, for instance), it still stood up without too many visible indications of damage.

Finally, when I determined the sound output of the desk while it increased from a sitting position to standing as well as back once again, it was by far the quietest we have actually evaluated yet. I can hardly get it to make more than concerning 9.5 dB of sound, so if your greatest concern is the whirr of your motor, this is certainly the one for you.

Client service

Now, typically I do not consist of much regarding the customer service support of any kind of offered company, only since I really feel that generally if an item functions the way its expected to, I should not ever have a factor to call them in the first place. And also while I desire I can state that was the case throughout my experience with StandDesk, I merely can not complete this evaluation without discussing the many, seemingly countless problems I ran into attempting to get my workdesk assembled.

For beginners, the desk I was sent out didn’t have any kind of memory phone included initially, which meant I had no way of really controlling the up/down feature on the desk itself. I spoke to StandDesk concerning this concern, who returned to me around a day later on with an apology and a pledge that a new one would be shipped out quickly.

Standdesk evaluation handset

The resource of all our troubles …
Concerning 4 days later a phone got here in the mail. The phone originally switched on, but it wasn’t long prior to I discovered that none of the programmable switches worked, nor did the down button, but also for some factor the “memory” switch managed the down feature just great. I spoke to the company again, as well as they excused the mixup and said they would have a new panel as well as control box out to me within the week.

Over two weeks later my brand-new panel as well as control box showed up. When I mounted them both the desk lastly began functioning the way it was intended to, yet not after almost a month of waiting as well as back and forth with a business that couldn’t remember to ship a core component of their item inside the very same box from the start.

Points to Take into consideration

In spite of its bankable features, this stand up desk also has its very own downsides. Since no particular stand workdesk could record every one of the attributes that you might require, you may take into consideration these in your decision-making.

Lack of a Bar as criterion

Not having a supporting bar is absolutely not a deal-breaker, particularly thinking about some of our other favorite desks such as the Completely Jarvis additionally do not have one. This workdesk does have one if you desire, but it is a paid add-on (a lot more on this later also).

The crossbar is seen by some as a limitation, making it more challenging to put your legs easily listed below the desk. Others, on the other hand, find that they supply included stability, commonly critical when workdesks are totally prolonged.

We have not read any kind of problems of the security of this desk, so we do not think its something to really be concerned concerning, although if you truly wanted a desk with a crossbar then we suggest you take a look at the Varidesk ProDesk 60 Electric.

Alternatively, StandDesk does offer a different add-on crossbar that you can add to the desk on your own, just for an added $49.95.

Stability

The security of a standing workdesk is one of the most vital facets of these desks. Without a secure desk you’ll locate it difficult to focus, which can cause you ending up being less thinking about using the desk at standing elevation. To obtain the very best return on your financial investment, you’ll wish to more than happy when utilizing the desk.

Because the StandDesk Simple is the initial workdesk that I have evaluated with an optional cross support, I will certainly break down my security examinations into 2 sections. Both examinations will include the regular front to back shaking test and a delegated best wobble. The very first will certainly lack the cross assistance and also the secondly will certainly be with it. Simply to keep in mind, StandDesk.co states that the addition of the cross support can increase security by as much as 15%. I have no suggestion just how they came up with that number.

Without Cross Assistance

Left to Right: The wobble examination was a various scenario. StandDesk Simple was the second desk that I tested that tottered at 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 influence your work.

With Cross Assistance

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

Left to Right: Including the cross support to the StandDesk improved the wobble activity for reduced elevations. With the cross assistance the wobble activity didn’t begin up until you reached 35″. By 39″ the wobble motion became poor.

Note: It’s really important with adjustable standing workdesks to totally tighten all equipment. If there is equipment that is not entirely tight, the activity experienced when included standing elevation will certainly be overemphasized. This is especially real with a desk framework that includes 32 screws, there are far way too many points at which the desk has a chance to move.

Final thought

Like all the Chinese bases we have actually examined in our labs, we have to narrow our referral on the StandDesk Pro to shorter individuals with narrower desktops, as the stability simply isn’t there for a big mass boosted high off the ground. American-made desks will certainly be better fit to these applications, and for a rather evident factor. Basically all American-made bases are made in United States factories that are owned by Swedish, Danish or German firms that invented this sector, and their average people are a whole lot taller than the typical Eastern consumer, so they started making longer-stroke lifting legs a very long time earlier. And they have much more robotic automation, laser-cutting devices, and sheer experience making standing desk bases, obviously.

Yet if you’re not also tall, do not have an excessive quantity of heavy devices on your desktop, and don’t need as well wide of a workdesk, the StandDesk Pro will certainly give you good value.

All that might alter with Yu’s guaranteed StandDesk Pro 2.0 layout that he expects to release at some time in the future. Originally we were informed we ‘d see it by June 2018. Greater than a year later on it has yet to emerge, and also Yu states he’s had trouble obtaining the product top quality he requires out of several Chinese factories he’s attempted collaborating with. The new style is apparently going to be much easier to assemble as well as have a heftier crossbar design, among other refinements. He states the new base will be provided in both a “T-Leg” and also “C-Leg” configuration, easing our worry about side-load worrying on the lifting columns.

If this brand-new base ever before comes to market we’ll update you here. Yet we’re not holding our breath any kind of longer as one of the most current information on the firm is that Yu shut the small Los Angeles office and has actually moved it to accompany all its various other staff members in southeast Asia.

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