The StandDesk was produced by millennials, is marketed right at millennials, and has been gobbled up by millennials in outstanding volumes. While it carries a ten-year guarantee (the longest of any type of Chinese-made base), in this situation it’s not necessarily a trusted indicator of the expected valuable life of the lifting columns. For the rate, the StandDesk is an excellent lower-cost alternative to the UpLift, Jarvis as well as various other Chinese-made workdesks. In spite of its security issues this is a far better product than the Autonomous SmartDesk or IKEA Bekant might ever want to be, and a good value on the whole. It’s the mid-priced offering in the broad classification of Chinese-made desks that is swaying customers from both its less costly and also more expensive peers.

StandDesk Construction, Setup, and Gadgets

Building the desk is quite simple if you adhere to the in-depth instructions. Every one of the screws, screws, washing machines, as well as spring washing machines been available in different bags that are marked with their destination: table top, structure, and spares. There’s an included hex device for securing all of the screws right into the frame, or, appear a hex little bit right into your power tool– just take care not to over-tighten.

All of the components have a premium quality surface to them with rounded corners to prevent 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 also consists of height-adjustable turning gears to stabilize the front-to-back movement of the desk, which was extremely handy for the carpeted home office floor. I’m likewise using a flooring mat to protect the rug from chair wheel damage at resting height, and also 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 stress programmed, suggesting the backwards and forwards arrows will certainly adjust the height by 1/10th of an inch with a single press, or continuously change the elevation by about 0.7 inches per second if you hold the button for two seconds. The memory buttons are comparable in style: push to remember the elevation setup, or hold the button down for five seconds to save a brand-new height value. I’m using button 1 for my sitting position as well as button 4 for my standing setting, which offers me 2 and 3 for anything I might require in the future.

Utilizing my Standdesk

I’ve been utilizing the new workdesk for a couple of weeks and have actually documented my first perceptions:

The motors are quiet yet can be listened to in the following room over. It takes maybe 25 seconds for the desk to fully shift from sitting to standing based on my presets.
I make use of an Ergotron side-by-side monitor arm (particularly this LX design), creating the desk to obtain a little rocky when I change my weight versus the keyboard. In hindsight, I need to have purchased the crossbar upgrade for my desk after establishing the weight of my monitors. If you prepare to do a twin display setup, get the crossbar.

Due to the fact that gravity compresses the discs in a human back, I require to raise the desk greater in the early morning and reduced it at night.

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

Performance

Regardless of any kind of troubles I may have had with the mobile or the cookie-cutter design, practically every one of those issues removed as soon as I actually got down to using this point.

Although I really did not believe it was also possible, the StandDesk somehow takes care of to be much more steady than the Jarvis, both at sitting and also standing elevations. A lot of days I such as to run my Jarvis at max elevation while pressed against my wall; not necessarily due to the fact that it’s that wobbly, but just because I desire as much security as I can obtain.

The StandDesk one ups the gambit even additionally, showing to be equally as steady by itself at standing elevation as the Jarvis is with wall support. This is all without the firm’s bar enhancement, which they assert adds even more stability when acquired as a part of the plan deal.When it concerns weight tolerance, the StandDesk shares yet even more statistics with the Jarvis, being ranked for approximately 350 lbs of weight capability.

I have actually been utilizing the desk for regarding 3 weeks currently for everyday work (and also adhering to standing desk finest techniques), whether it’s keying out reviews such as this one from our desktop or a laptop computer periodically. The desk holds up well versus non-coastered drinks, as well as the coating in addition to the desk still really feels equally as smooth as well as slick as the day I opened it in spite of days of sweaty wrists wresting on it and several clean downs with a dustcloth.

Though I never ever purposefully attempt to dent any kind of desks too hard, during some lighter tests (tossing a collection of secrets onto it from a range, for example), it still stood up without too many noticeable signs of damage.

Last but not least, when I measured the sound result of the desk while it rose from a resting position to standing and also back once more, it was without a doubt the quietest we’ve examined yet. I can hardly get it to make greater than regarding 9.5 dB of sound, so if your biggest issue is the whirr of your motor, this is definitely the one for you.

Customer care

Now, normally I don’t consist of much about the client service assistance of any type of given company, just since I feel that generally if an item works the means its supposed to, I should not ever before have a reason to call them in the first place. And while I desire I could claim that held true throughout my experience with StandDesk, I merely can not finish this evaluation without discussing the many, seemingly endless troubles I experienced trying to get my workdesk put together.

For beginners, the desk I was sent out didn’t have any memory mobile included originally, which implied I had no way of really regulating the up/down function on the desk itself. I got in touch with StandDesk regarding this concern, who got back to me around a day later on with an apology as well as a promise that a new one would certainly be shipped quickly.

Standdesk testimonial handset

The resource of all our troubles …
Concerning 4 days later on a mobile phone got here in the mail. The handset at first activated, but it had not been long prior to I saw that none of the programmable switches functioned, neither did the down switch, however, for some factor the “memory” switch took care of the down feature simply great. I contacted the firm once again, as well as they excused the mixup and also claimed they would have a new panel and also control box out to me within the week.

Over 2 weeks later on my new panel and also control box got here. When I mounted them both the desk finally began working the way it was intended to, however not after almost a month of waiting and also to and fro with a firm that could not bear in mind to ship a core element of their item inside the very same box from the beginning.

Things to Think about

Regardless of its bankable attributes, this stand desk also has its very own disadvantages. Given that no singular stand desk could record all of the functions that you may require, you might take into consideration these in your decision-making.

Absence of a Bar as standard

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

The crossbar is seen by some as a barrier, making it more difficult to place your legs conveniently below the desk. Others, on the other hand, find that they give included security, commonly crucial when desks are totally expanded.

We have not check out any type of complaints of the security of this workdesk, so we don’t think its something to really be worried about, although if you truly wanted a workdesk with a bar after that we recommend you have a look at the Varidesk ProDesk 60 Electric.

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

Security

The stability of a standing workdesk is among one of the most essential aspects of these desks. Without a secure desk you’ll discover it hard to concentrate, which might result in you ending up being much less interested in utilizing the desk at standing elevation. To obtain the very best return on your investment, you’ll intend to be happy when using the desk.

Due To The Fact That the StandDesk Simple is the initial workdesk that I have evaluated with an optional cross support, I will certainly break down my stability tests into 2 areas. Both examinations will certainly include the regular front to back rocking examination and a left to right wobble. The initial will certainly lack the cross support and also the secondly will be with it. Just to note, StandDesk.co says that the addition of the cross support can raise stability by as much as 15%. I have no idea exactly how they developed that number.

Without Cross Assistance

Left to Right: The wobble examination was a various circumstance. StandDesk Simple was the second workdesk that I evaluated 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 rocking movement was bad. Yet factor it would impact your work.

With Cross Support

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

Delegated Right: Including the cross assistance to the StandDesk enhanced the wobble activity for reduced heights. With the cross support the wobble activity didn’t begin up until you reached 35″. By 39″ the wobble activity became bad.

Keep in mind: It’s extremely vital with adjustable standing desks to completely tighten all hardware. If there is hardware that is not totally limited, the motion experienced when included standing elevation will certainly be overemphasized. This is especially real with a workdesk 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’ve tested in our laboratories, we need to tighten our referral on the StandDesk Pro to much shorter users with narrower desktops, as the security just isn’t there for a large mass raised high off the ground. American-made workdesks will certainly be much better fit to these applications, and for a relatively obvious factor. Practically all American-made bases are made in US factories that are had by Swedish, Danish or German companies that designed this market, and also their typical citizens are a whole lot taller than the typical Oriental customer, so they began making longer-stroke training legs a very long time ago. And they have much more robot automation, laser-cutting devices, as well as large experience making standing workdesk bases, needless to say.

If you’re not as well high, don’t have an excessive amount of hefty equipment on your desktop, and do not require as well broad of a workdesk, the StandDesk Pro will offer you great bang for your buck.

All that might transform with Yu’s promised StandDesk Pro 2.0 layout that he anticipates to release at some point in the future. Originally we were informed we would certainly see it by June 2018. Greater than a year later it has yet to emerge, and also Yu states he’s had difficulty getting the product top quality he needs out of a number of Chinese factories he’s attempted dealing with. The brand-new layout is apparently going to be much easier to put together and also have a heftier crossbar style, to name a few refinements. He claims the brand-new base will be supplied in both a “T-Leg” as well as “C-Leg” configuration, easing our issue concerning side-load stressing on the lifting columns.

If this new base ever before comes to market we’ll upgrade you here. Yet we’re not holding our breath any kind of longer as the most recent news on the company is that Yu closed the small Los Angeles workplace as well as has actually moved it to accompany all its other staff members in southeast Asia.

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

The StandDesk was developed by millennials, is marketed straight at millennials, and has actually been demolished by millennials in impressive quantities. While it brings a ten-year guarantee (the lengthiest of any Chinese-made base), in this case it’s not always a trustworthy sign of the expected beneficial life of the lifting columns. But for the price, the StandDesk is a fantastic lower-cost option to the UpLift, Jarvis as well as various other Chinese-made workdesks. Despite its stability issues this is a much much better product than the Autonomous SmartDesk or IKEA Bekant could ever before intend to be, and also a good value generally. It’s the mid-priced offering in the wide group of Chinese-made desks that is gaining consumers from both its less costly and also more expensive peers.

There’s a consisted of hex device for fastening every one of the bolts into the frame, or, appear a hex bit right into your power tool– simply beware not to over-tighten.

Every one of the parts have an excellent quality finish to them with rounded edges to stay clear of cut hands. Below is a shot of all the screws that are secured to the leg setting up– it’s not going anywhere!

The foot assembly also includes height-adjustable turning gears to stabilize the front-to-back motion of the desk, which was extremely handy for the carpeted office flooring.

The deluxe controller deserved the investment.

The memory switches are comparable in design: press to recall the height setup, or hold the button down for 5 seconds to store a new elevation value. I’m making use of button 1 for my resting position and button 4 for my standing placement, which offers me 2 and also 3 for anything I could require in the future.

I didn’t think it was even possible, the StandDesk in some way manages to be also extra stable than the Jarvis, both at resting and standing elevations. Most days I like to run my Jarvis at max elevation while pressed against my wall surface; not always because it’s that wobbly, yet even if I desire as much stability as I can obtain.

The StandDesk one ups the gambit even further, verifying to be equally as constant on its own at standing height as the Jarvis is with wall support. This is all without the business’s crossbar enhancement, which they declare includes a lot more 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 approximately 350 pounds of weight capability.

I have actually been making use of the desk for about three weeks now for day-to-day job (and complying with standing desk ideal methods), whether it’s keying out testimonials such as this one from our desktop computer or a laptop from time to time.

Finally, when I determined the noise outcome of the desk while it increased from a resting setting to standing and also back once more, it was without a doubt the quietest we have actually checked yet. I could hardly get it to make more than concerning 9.5 dB of sound, so if your most significant concern is the whirr of your electric motor, this is most definitely the one for you.

Customer care

Now, normally I do not include much about the customer support support of any kind of provided business, just because I really feel that generally if a product works the means its meant to, I should not ever before have a factor to call them in the first place. As well as while I wish I could say that held true during my experience with StandDesk, I merely can’t finish this evaluation without mentioning the numerous, relatively unlimited problems I encountered trying to get my workdesk created.

For beginners, the desk I was sent out didn’t have any memory mobile phone included initially, which suggested I had no way of actually regulating the up/down feature on the desk itself.

Note: It’s very crucial with flexible standing workdesks to totally tighten up all hardware. If there is equipment that is not entirely limited, the movement experienced when encompassed standing elevation will be overemphasized. This is specifically real with a workdesk frame that includes 32 bolts, there are far too many factors at which the desk has an opportunity to move.

Final thought

Like all the Chinese bases we’ve checked in our laboratories, we have to tighten our recommendation on the StandDesk Pro to shorter customers with narrower desktops, as the stability just isn’t there for a large mass boosted high off the ground. American-made workdesks will certainly be much better matched to these applications, and also for a relatively noticeable factor. Virtually all American-made bases are made in United States factories that are had by Swedish, Danish or German firms that designed this industry, as well as their ordinary people are a great deal taller than the average Eastern customer, so they started making longer-stroke training legs a long time ago. And also they have much more robotic automation, laser-cutting tools, and large experience making standing workdesk bases, obviously.

If you’re not too tall, do not have an excessive quantity of hefty tools on your desktop computer, as well as don’t need also broad of a workdesk, the StandDesk Pro will certainly provide you good bang for your dollar.

All that may change with Yu’s promised StandDesk Pro 2.0 style that he anticipates to release at some point in the future. Originally we were told we would certainly see it by June 2018. Greater than a year later on it has yet to emerge, and Yu states he’s had difficulty obtaining the product quality he needs out of numerous Chinese manufacturing facilities he’s tried collaborating with. The new design is apparently mosting likely to be much easier to construct and also have a heftier crossbar layout, among other refinements. He says the brand-new base will certainly be supplied in both a “T-Leg” as well as “C-Leg” arrangement, minimizing our problem regarding side-load emphasizing on the lifting columns.

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

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

The StandDesk was developed by millennials, is marketed straight at millennials, and has been demolished by millennials in remarkable quantities. While it carries a ten-year guarantee (the longest of any type of Chinese-made base), in this situation it’s not always a reliable indicator of the anticipated helpful life of the training columns. But also for the cost, the StandDesk is a wonderful lower-cost alternative to the UpLift, Jarvis and also other Chinese-made desks. Despite its stability concerns this is a far better product than the Autonomous SmartDesk or IKEA Bekant can ever before wish to be, as well as a good value overall. It’s the mid-priced offering in the broad classification of Chinese-made desks that is gaining customers from both its less expensive as well as more expensive peers.

StandDesk Construction, Configuration, and Gizmos

Developing the desk is rather easy if you adhere to the detailed instructions. All of the screws, screws, washing machines, as well as springtime washing machines been available in different bags that are marked with their destination: table top, framework, and spares. There’s an included hex device for securing every one of the screws into the structure, or, appear a hex bit into your power tool– simply be careful not to over-tighten.

All of the components have an excellent quality finish to them with rounded corners to prevent cut hands. Below is a shot of all the screws that are fastened to the leg setting up– it’s not going anywhere!

Standdesk-Leg

The foot setting up also consists of height-adjustable turning equipments to support the front-to-back movement of the desk, which was really handy for the carpeted office floor. I’m likewise utilizing a floor mat to safeguard the carpet from chair wheel damages at resting height, and also press the chair back when I’m transitioning to standing elevation.

Standdesk-Foot

The luxurious controller was worth the financial investment. The buttons are all variable pressure set, implying the backwards and forwards arrows will change the height by 1/10th of an inch with a solitary press, or continually change the elevation by about 0.7 inches per 2nd if you hold the button for two seconds. The memory buttons are comparable in style: press to recall the elevation setup, or hold the button down for five secs to store a brand-new elevation worth. I’m making use of switch 1 for my sitting setting as well as button 4 for my standing setting, which gives me 2 and 3 for anything I could require in the future.

Standdesk-Memory-unit

Using my Standdesk

I have actually been making use of the brand-new desk for a couple of weeks and have actually jotted down my preliminary impressions:

The electric motors are quiet yet can be listened to in the following area over. It takes possibly 25 secs for the desk to fully shift 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 rough when I move my weight against the keyboard. In knowledge, I need to have bought the bar upgrade for my desk after identifying the weight of my displays. If you prepare to do a double monitor arrangement, get the crossbar.

Due to the fact that gravity presses the discs in a human back, I require to raise the desk higher in the morning and also lower it at night.

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

Efficiency

Regardless of any issues I might have had with the phone or the cookie-cutter style, practically all of those problems gotten rid of when I actually got down to utilizing this point.

I didn’t think it was even feasible, the StandDesk in some way handles to be even extra secure than the Jarvis, both at resting and standing elevations. The majority of days I like to run my Jarvis at max elevation while pressed versus my wall surface; not necessarily due to the fact that it’s that wobbly, yet just because I want as much security as I can get.

The StandDesk one ups the gambit even additionally, confirming to be equally as constant 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 includes even more security when acquired as a part of the plan deal.When it concerns weight tolerance, the StandDesk shares yet a lot more statistics with the Jarvis, being ranked for up to 350 pounds of weight capability.

I’ve been using the desk for concerning 3 weeks now for day-to-day work (as well as adhering to standing workdesk finest practices), whether it’s keying out evaluations like this one from our desktop or a laptop once in a while. The desk stands up well against non-coastered drinks, as well as the surface 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 as well as multiple wipe downs with a rag.

I never ever deliberately attempt to dent any workdesks also hard, during some lighter examinations (tossing a collection of tricks onto it from a range, for example), it still held up without as well numerous visible indicators of damages.

When I gauged the sound output of the workdesk while it climbed from a sitting placement to standing and also back once again, it was by far the quietest we’ve examined. I could hardly get it to make greater than regarding 9.5 dB of noise, so if your biggest problem is the whirr of your motor, this is absolutely the one for you.

Customer Service

Currently, generally I do not consist of much about the client service support of any kind of offered firm, only due to the fact that I feel that in general if an item works the means its intended to, I shouldn’t ever before have a factor to call them to begin with. As well as while I desire I can say that was the case throughout my experience with StandDesk, I simply can not finish this review without discussing the various, relatively endless problems I came across trying to get my workdesk created.

For starters, the desk I was sent really did not have any memory mobile phone consisted of initially, which meant I had no chance of really regulating the up/down feature on the desk itself. I contacted StandDesk about this problem, that returned to me around a day later with an apology and a promise that a new one would be shipped out quickly.

Standdesk testimonial handset

The resource of all our troubles …
About 4 days later on a handset got here in the mail. The phone originally switched on, yet it had not been long prior to I saw that none of the programmable switches functioned, nor did the down switch, but also for some reason the “memory” button took care of the down function simply fine. I got in touch with the business again, as well as they excused the mixup and said they would certainly have a new panel and control box bent on me within the week.

Over 2 weeks later on my brand-new panel as well as control box arrived. As soon as I mounted them both the desk lastly started functioning the way it was meant to, however not after practically a month of waiting as well as back and forth with a business that could not bear in mind to ship a core component of their item inside the very same box from the get-go.

Points to Consider

Despite its bankable features, this stand workdesk additionally has its own disadvantages. Given that no particular stand desk can capture all of the functions that you might require, you might think about these in your decision-making.

Absence of a Crossbar as standard

Not having a stabilizing crossbar is certainly not a deal-breaker, specifically taking into consideration several of our various other favorite workdesks such as the Fully 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 (more on this later on also).

The crossbar is seen by some as an obstacle, making it more difficult to put your legs easily below the desk. Others, on the other hand, discover that they provide added security, frequently critical when workdesks are completely prolonged.

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

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

Stability

The security of a standing workdesk is one of one of the most important facets of these desks. Without a stable desk you’ll discover it hard to focus, which might bring about you ending up being less interested in utilizing the desk at standing height. To obtain the very best return on your investment, you’ll wish to be happy when making use of the desk.

Due To The Fact That the StandDesk Simple is the initial desk that I have examined with an optional cross support, I will break down my stability examinations right into 2 areas. Both tests will certainly consist of the regular front to back rocking examination as well as a delegated appropriate wobble. The initial will certainly lack the cross support and also the second will certainly be with it. Just to note, StandDesk.co says that the enhancement of the cross support can increase security by as much as 15%. I have no suggestion just how they created that number.

Without Cross Assistance

Left to Right: The wobble examination was a different circumstance. StandDesk Simple was the second desk that I checked that wobbled at 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. Beyond this factor it would certainly influence your job.

With Cross Assistance

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

Left to Right: Including the cross assistance to the StandDesk enhanced the wobble motion for lower heights. With the cross support the wobble movement didn’t begin until you got to 35″. By 39″ the wobble movement came to be bad.

Keep in mind: It’s very crucial with flexible standing workdesks to fully tighten all hardware. If there is equipment that is not entirely limited, the motion experienced when encompassed standing elevation will certainly be exaggerated. This is particularly true with a workdesk frame that includes 32 bolts, there are far a lot of points at which the desk has an opportunity to move.

Verdict

Like all the Chinese bases we have actually evaluated in our labs, we need to tighten our suggestion on the StandDesk Pro to shorter customers with narrower desktops, as the stability just isn’t there for a big mass elevated high off the ground. American-made workdesks will certainly be better fit to these applications, and for a rather obvious reason. Essentially all American-made bases are made in United States factories that are had by Swedish, Danish or German firms that designed this market, and also their typical people are a great deal taller than the ordinary Eastern consumer, so they began making longer-stroke training legs a long period of time ago. As well as they have much more robotic automation, laser-cutting equipment, as well as large experience making standing desk bases, it goes without saying.

If you’re not too high, do not have an extreme amount of hefty tools on your desktop computer, and also don’t require too broad of a desk, the StandDesk Pro will provide you excellent bang for your buck.

All that could change with Yu’s guaranteed StandDesk Pro 2.0 layout that he expects to launch sometime in the future. Initially we were told we would certainly see it by June 2018. More than a year later it has yet to appear, as well as Yu states he’s had problem getting the product high quality he requires out of a number of Chinese manufacturing facilities he’s tried dealing with. The new design is allegedly going to be much easier to set up as well as have a heftier crossbar style, among other refinements. He claims the brand-new base will certainly be offered in both a “T-Leg” and “C-Leg” arrangement, alleviating our problem concerning side-load emphasizing on the training columns.

If this brand-new base ever before comes to market we’ll update you here. However we’re not holding our breath any longer as one of the most recent news on the company is that Yu closed the small Los Angeles office and has relocated it to join with all its other employees in southeast Asia.

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