The StandDesk was created by millennials, is marketed directly at millennials, and has been gobbled up by millennials in excellent quantities. While it carries a ten-year guarantee (the longest of any Chinese-made base), in this instance it’s not necessarily a reliable indication of the expected helpful life of the training columns. For the price, the StandDesk is a fantastic lower-cost choice to the UpLift, Jarvis as well as other Chinese-made desks. Despite its security concerns this is a far much better product than the Autonomous SmartDesk or IKEA Bekant might ever before hope to be, and a good value in general. It’s the mid-priced offering in the broad classification of Chinese-made workdesks that is gaining consumers from both its less costly and pricier peers.

StandDesk Building And Construction, Configuration, and Gadgets

Building the desk is quite straight forward if you adhere to the comprehensive guidelines. Every one of the screws, screws, washing machines, and also springtime washers been available in different bags that are marked with their location: tabletop, frame, and also spares. There’s an included hex tool for attaching every one of the bolts into the structure, or, appear a hex little bit into your power device– just take care not to over-tighten.

Every one of the parts have an excellent quality finish to them with rounded edges to prevent 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 setting up likewise includes height-adjustable turning gears to stabilize the front-to-back activity of the desk, which was really practical for the carpeted office floor. I’m also utilizing a flooring mat to safeguard the rug from chair wheel damages at resting height, as well as push the chair when I’m transitioning to standing height.

Standdesk-Foot

The luxurious controller deserved the investment. The buttons are all variable stress set, implying the backwards and forwards arrowheads will readjust the height by 1/10th of an inch with a single press, or constantly change the elevation by about 0.7 inches per 2nd if you hold the switch for 2 secs. The memory buttons are similar in style: push to recall the elevation setup, or hold the button down for 5 seconds to save a new height value. I’m utilizing switch 1 for my sitting setting as well as button 4 for my standing position, which gives me 2 as well as 3 for anything I might need in the future.

Utilizing my Standdesk

I have actually been making use of the new workdesk for a couple of weeks and also have actually jotted down my preliminary impacts:

The motors are quiet however can be listened to in the following space over. It takes probably 25 seconds for the desk to totally transition from sitting to standing based on my presets.
I use an Ergotron side-by-side keep track of arm (specifically this LX design), triggering the desk to get a little rough when I change my weight versus the keyboard. In hindsight, I should have purchased the crossbar upgrade for my workdesk after figuring out the weight of my monitors. If you prepare to do a double screen setup, obtain the crossbar.

Since gravity compresses the discs in a human back, I need to raise the desk greater in the morning and also reduced it in the evening.

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

Efficiency

Regardless of any issues I may have had with the phone or the cookie-cutter layout, virtually every one of those concerns removed once I really got down to utilizing this point.

I didn’t assume it was also feasible, the StandDesk somehow handles to be also much more stable than the Jarvis, both at resting as well as standing elevations. Most days I such as to run my Jarvis at max height while pushed against my wall surface; not necessarily since it’s that shaky, however even if I desire as much security as I can obtain.

The StandDesk one ups the gambit also better, verifying to be just as consistent by itself at standing elevation as the Jarvis is with wall support. This is all without the company’s bar addition, which they declare adds a lot more security when acquired as a part of the bundle deal.When it involves weight tolerance, the StandDesk shares yet much more statistics with the Jarvis, being ranked for up to 350 lbs of weight capacity.

I have actually been making use of the desk for about 3 weeks now for daily job (as well as complying with standing desk best methods), whether it’s inputting out reviews such as this one from our desktop computer or a laptop computer from time to time. The desk holds up well versus non-coastered drinks, as well as the surface 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 also multiple wipe downs with a rag.

Though I never intentionally try to dent any workdesks too hard, during 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 damages.

When I measured the noise output of the desk while it rose from a resting placement to standing and also back once again, it was by far the quietest we have actually tested. I might hardly get it to make more than concerning 9.5 dB of noise, so if your largest concern is the whirr of your motor, this is absolutely the one for you.

Customer support

Now, typically I don’t consist of much concerning the client service support of any type of provided firm, just due to the fact that I feel that as a whole if a product functions the means its expected to, I shouldn’t ever have a factor to call them to begin with. And while I wish I could state that held true during my experience with StandDesk, I just can’t complete this review without discussing the numerous, apparently limitless issues I encountered attempting to obtain my desk put together.

For beginners, the desk I was sent didn’t have any type of memory handset consisted of originally, which meant I had no other way of actually regulating the up/down feature on the desk itself. I spoke to StandDesk about this concern, that returned to me around a day later with an apology and a pledge that a brand-new one would certainly be shipped out shortly.

Standdesk evaluation handset

The source of all our troubles …
About 4 days later on a mobile phone got here in the mail. The mobile at first switched on, however it wasn’t long prior to I observed that none of the programmable switches functioned, nor did the down switch, but for some factor the “memory” switch dealt with the down function just fine. I contacted the company once again, as well as they apologized for the mixup and also stated they would certainly have a brand-new panel and also control box out to me within the week.

Over 2 weeks later on my brand-new panel as well as control box got here. As soon as I installed them both the desk lastly began functioning the means it was meant to, however not after nearly a month of waiting and also to and fro with a business that could not remember to deliver a core element of their item inside the exact same box from the outset.

Things to Take into consideration

Despite its bankable attributes, this stand up workdesk also has its own disadvantages. Given that no particular stand workdesk could capture all of the features that you may require, you may consider these in your decision-making.

Lack of a Bar as requirement

Not having a maintaining crossbar is definitely not a deal-breaker, particularly thinking about several of our other preferred desks such as the Completely Jarvis also do not have one. This desk does have one if you want, but it is a paid add-on (more on this later too).

The bar is seen by some as an obstacle, making it more challenging to put your legs easily listed below the desk. Others, on the other hand, discover that they provide added stability, typically vital when workdesks are totally extended.

We have not review any problems of the security of this desk, so we don’t assume its something to truly be worried regarding, although if you truly desired a desk with a bar then we recommend you take a look at the Varidesk ProDesk 60 Electric.

Additionally, StandDesk does use a separate add-on bar that you can contribute to the desk on your own, just for an additional $49.95.

Security

The stability of a standing desk is just one of the most crucial facets of these desks. Without a steady workdesk you’ll discover it difficult to focus, which might cause you ending up being less thinking about using the desk at standing height. To obtain the very best return on your financial investment, you’ll wish to be happy when utilizing the desk.

Due To The Fact That the StandDesk Simple is the first desk that I have evaluated with an optional cross assistance, I will certainly break down my stability examinations into 2 sections. Both examinations will certainly include the common front to back rocking examination and also an entrusted to right wobble. The very first will certainly lack the cross support as well as the secondly will certainly be with it. Simply to note, StandDesk.co says that the enhancement of the cross support can raise security by approximately 15%. I have no idea how they came up with that number.

Without Cross Support

Left to Right: The wobble test was a various scenario. StandDesk Simple was the second workdesk that I evaluated that tottered at the bottom with weight on the desktop computer. The initial was the IKEA Bekant. By the time it reached 36″ the shaking motion was bad. Yet point it would certainly influence your job.

With Cross Support

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

Left to Right: Including the cross support to the StandDesk boosted the wobble motion for reduced elevations. With the cross assistance the wobble motion didn’t start until you got to 35″. By 39″ the wobble movement ended up being poor.

Note: It’s very essential with adjustable standing desks to totally tighten up all equipment. If there is hardware that is not entirely tight, the activity experienced when encompassed standing height will 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 relocate.

Final thought

Like all the Chinese bases we’ve tested in our labs, we have to tighten our referral on the StandDesk Pro to much shorter individuals with narrower desktop computers, as the security just isn’t there for a big mass raised high off the ground. American-made workdesks will be better suited to these applications, and for a rather noticeable reason. Essentially all American-made bases are made in US factories that are possessed by Swedish, Danish or German business that invented this industry, and also their ordinary people are a great deal taller than the ordinary Asian customer, so they started making longer-stroke training legs a very long time ago. And they have far more robotic automation, laser-cutting tools, and sheer experience making standing desk bases, it goes without saying.

If you’re not as well tall, do not have an inordinate quantity of heavy tools on your desktop computer, as well as do not require as well broad of a workdesk, the StandDesk Pro will provide you great bang for your buck.

All that could change with Yu’s assured StandDesk Pro 2.0 layout that he anticipates to launch at some point in the future. Initially we were informed we ‘d see it by June 2018. More than a year later it has yet to emerge, and also Yu states he’s had difficulty getting the product quality he requires out of numerous Chinese manufacturing facilities he’s attempted working with. The brand-new design is allegedly mosting likely to be much easier to set up and also have a heftier bar design, to name a few improvements. He says the new base will certainly be supplied in both a “T-Leg” and “C-Leg” arrangement, reducing our issue about side-load stressing on the training columns.

If this new base ever before concerns market we’ll update you here. But we’re not holding our breath any type of longer as one of the most current information on the company is that Yu closed the little Los Angeles workplace and has relocated it to accompany all its other employees in southeast Asia.

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

The StandDesk was produced by millennials, is marketed right at millennials, and has been demolished by millennials in outstanding quantities. While it carries a ten-year warranty (the lengthiest of any Chinese-made base), in this instance it’s not always a trustworthy indicator of the anticipated beneficial life of the training columns. For the price, the StandDesk is a terrific lower-cost alternative to the UpLift, Jarvis and other Chinese-made desks. In spite of its security problems this is a far much better item than the Autonomous SmartDesk or IKEA Bekant might ever before hope to be, and also a good value in general. It’s the mid-priced offering in the wide category of Chinese-made workdesks that is winning over clients from both its cheaper as well as pricier peers.

StandDesk Construction, Setup, as well as Devices

Every one of the screws, bolts, washing machines, and spring washers can be found in separate bags that are noted with their destination: tabletop, structure, as well as spares. There’s a consisted of hex device for attaching all of the bolts right into the frame, or, appear a hex bit right into your power tool– simply take care not to over-tighten.

All of the parts have a high quality finish 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 setting up additionally includes height-adjustable turning gears to support the front-to-back movement of the desk, which was really useful for the carpeted office flooring. I’m likewise utilizing a flooring mat to safeguard the carpeting from chair wheel damages at sitting height, and push the chair when I’m transitioning to standing elevation.

Standdesk-Foot

The luxurious controller deserved the investment. The switches are all variable pressure programmed, meaning the backwards and forwards arrowheads will readjust the elevation by 1/10th of an inch with a single press, or constantly change the elevation by around 0.7 inches per 2nd if you hold the button for 2 seconds. The memory switches are comparable in design: push to recall the elevation setup, or hold the button down for five secs to save a new elevation worth. I’m using switch 1 for my resting position and also switch 4 for my standing setting, which offers me 2 and also 3 for anything I might require in the future.

Utilizing my Standdesk

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

Despite any troubles I may have had with the handset or the cookie-cutter design, virtually all of those concerns removed as soon as I actually got down to utilizing this point.

I didn’t think it was also possible, the StandDesk in some way manages to be also a lot more stable than the Jarvis, both at resting and also standing elevations. Many days I like to run my Jarvis at max height while pressed versus my wall surface; not necessarily since it’s that shaky, but even if I want as much security as I can get.

The StandDesk one ups the gambit also better, showing to be just as constant on its own at standing elevation as the Jarvis is with wall support.

I have actually been utilizing the desk for regarding 3 weeks currently for everyday job (as well as following standing workdesk finest methods), whether it’s typing out evaluations such as this one from our desktop or a laptop computer once in a while.

Customer care

Now, generally I don’t consist of much regarding the customer service assistance of any provided firm, just because I feel that in general if a product works the method its expected to, I should not ever before have a reason to call them in the first place. And while I wish I can claim that was the case throughout my experience with StandDesk, I simply can not finish this testimonial without pointing out the many, apparently limitless troubles I experienced trying to get my desk created.

For starters, the desk I was sent out didn’t have any type of memory mobile included originally, which implied I had no chance of in fact managing the up/down feature on the desk itself. I contacted StandDesk concerning this issue, who returned to me around a day later on with an apology and also a promise that a brand-new one would certainly be shipped out shortly.

This is specifically real with a workdesk structure that consists of 32 bolts, there are far too many factors at which the desk has a possibility to move.

Conclusion

Like all the Chinese bases we’ve evaluated in our laboratories, we have to tighten our referral on the StandDesk Pro to much shorter users with narrower desktop computers, as the security simply isn’t there for a huge mass elevated high off the ground. American-made workdesks will be much better matched to these applications, and also for a relatively evident reason. Practically all American-made bases are made in US factories that are possessed by Swedish, Danish or German business that developed this market, and their average people are a great deal taller than the typical Asian consumer, so they started making longer-stroke training legs a long period of time back. As well as they have even more robot automation, laser-cutting tools, and large experience making standing workdesk bases, it goes without saying.

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

All that may change with Yu’s guaranteed StandDesk Pro 2.0 style that he anticipates to launch at some point in the future. Initially we were informed we would certainly see it by June 2018. More than a year later it has yet to materialize, as well as Yu states he’s had difficulty obtaining the item high quality he requires out of several Chinese manufacturing facilities he’s tried dealing with. The brand-new layout is allegedly mosting likely to be much easier to construct as well as have a heftier crossbar style, among other refinements. He states the new base will be supplied in both a “T-Leg” and also “C-Leg” arrangement, relieving our issue regarding side-load stressing on the training columns.

If this new base ever before involves market we’ll update you right here. But we’re not holding our breath any longer as one of the most recent information on the firm is that Yu closed the little Los Angeles workplace and has transferred it to join with all its various other employees in southeast Asia.

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

The StandDesk was created by millennials, is marketed straight at millennials, and also has actually been gobbled up by millennials in remarkable volumes. While it lugs a ten-year service warranty (the longest of any type of Chinese-made base), in this situation it’s not necessarily a dependable indicator of the expected beneficial life of the lifting columns. For the cost, the StandDesk is a wonderful lower-cost option to the UpLift, Jarvis and also other Chinese-made workdesks. In spite of its security concerns this is a far better product than the Autonomous SmartDesk or IKEA Bekant could ever before 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 desks that is swaying consumers from both its less expensive as well as pricier peers.

StandDesk Building And Construction, Arrangement, and Devices

Developing the desk is rather straight forward if you comply with the in-depth instructions. All of the screws, bolts, washing machines, and also springtime washers can be found in separate bags that are marked with their destination: table top, structure, and spares. There’s a consisted of hex device for fastening every one of the screws right into the framework, or, pop in a hex bit into your power tool– just beware not to over-tighten.

All of the parts have an excellent quality finish to them with rounded corners 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!

Standdesk-Leg

The foot setting up likewise includes height-adjustable rotation equipments to support the front-to-back movement of the desk, which was very practical for the carpeted office floor. I’m likewise using a flooring mat to safeguard the carpeting from chair wheel damages at sitting elevation, as well as press the chair when I’m transitioning to standing elevation.

Standdesk-Foot

The luxurious controller deserved the investment. The switches are all variable stress programmed, meaning the up and down arrows will certainly change the height by 1/10th of an inch with a single press, or continually adjust the height by around 0.7 inches per 2nd if you hold the switch for two seconds. The memory switches are similar in layout: push to recall the height setup, or hold the button down for five seconds to keep a brand-new elevation worth. I’m using switch 1 for my sitting position as well as button 4 for my standing placement, which offers me 2 and 3 for anything I may require in the future.

Standdesk-Memory-unit

Utilizing my Standdesk

I’ve been utilizing the new desk for a couple of weeks and have actually listed my initial perceptions:

The electric motors are quiet however can be heard in the next area over. It takes perhaps 25 secs for the desk to fully shift from resting to standing based upon my presets.
I utilize an Ergotron side-by-side keep track of arm (especially this LX version), triggering the desk to get a little rough when I shift my weight against the keyboard. In hindsight, I must have bought the bar upgrade for my workdesk after establishing the weight of my screens. If you intend to do a double screen configuration, obtain the crossbar.

Since gravity presses the discs in a human spinal column, I need to raise the desk higher in the early morning and also lower it in the evening.

An anti-fatigue mat is definitely crucial for long duration standing. I purchased an Octagonal floor covering from SmartCells, making use of rubber “cells” that are pictured listed below.

Efficiency

Despite any issues I may have had with the mobile phone or the cookie-cutter layout, pretty much all of those problems gotten rid of when I in fact came down to using this thing.

I didn’t assume it was also possible, the StandDesk somehow manages to be even more steady than the Jarvis, both at sitting and standing heights. A lot of days I like to run my Jarvis at max elevation while pushed against my wall; not necessarily since it’s that unsteady, but even if I desire as much security as I can get.

The StandDesk one ups the gambit also further, verifying to be just as steady by itself at standing elevation as the Jarvis is with wall support. This is all without the firm’s bar addition, which they assert adds even more security when acquired as a part of the plan deal.When it involves weight resistance, the StandDesk shares yet a lot more statistics with the Jarvis, being rated for approximately 350 lbs of weight capacity.

I’ve been using the desk for about 3 weeks currently for everyday work (and also following standing workdesk ideal methods), whether it’s typing out reviews such as this one from our desktop or a laptop computer periodically. The desk holds up well against non-coastered drinks, and also the surface in addition to the desk still really feels just as smooth and slick as the day I opened it despite days of sweaty wrists wresting on it and multiple wipe downs with a dustcloth.

I never intentionally try to damage any kind of desks also hard, during some lighter examinations (throwing a set of tricks onto it from a distance, for example), it still held up without also lots of noticeable indications of damages.

When I measured the sound outcome of the desk while it climbed from a sitting position to standing and also back again, it was by much the quietest we’ve examined. I might hardly get it to make more than regarding 9.5 dB of noise, so if your greatest worry is the whirr of your motor, this is most definitely the one for you.

Customer support

Currently, usually I don’t include much about the customer service assistance of any type of given business, just because I feel that as a whole if an item functions the means its meant to, I should not ever have a factor to call them in the first place. As well as while I wish I might claim that was the case throughout my experience with StandDesk, I just can’t finish this review without stating the countless, relatively limitless issues I encountered trying to get my desk assembled.

For starters, the desk I was sent didn’t have any memory phone consisted of originally, which indicated I had no other way of really managing the up/down feature on the desk itself. I contacted StandDesk about this concern, that returned to me around a day later with an apology and an assurance that a new one would be shipped out shortly.

Standdesk testimonial handset

The source of all our problems …
Concerning four days later a mobile got here in the mail. The handset originally turned on, yet it had not been long before I observed that none of the programmable switches worked, neither did the down switch, however, for some reason the “memory” switch managed the down function just great. I contacted the company once again, as well as they apologized for the mixup and claimed they would certainly have a new panel and also control box out to me within the week.

Over 2 weeks later on my new panel as well as control box showed up. As soon as I mounted them both the desk ultimately began working the method it was intended to, however not after nearly a month of waiting as well as backward and forward with a business that could not keep in mind to deliver a core part of their item inside the same box from the get-go.

Points to Think about

In spite of its bankable functions, this stand up desk also has its own drawbacks. Because no singular stand workdesk could capture all of the features that you may require, you might think about these in your decision-making.

Lack of a Crossbar as requirement

Not having a maintaining bar is absolutely not a deal-breaker, specifically thinking about some of our other favorite workdesks such as the Completely Jarvis additionally don’t have one. Actually, this workdesk does have one if you want, but it is a paid add-on (much more on this later as well).

The bar is seen by some as an obstacle, making it harder to place your legs easily below the desk. Others, on the other hand, find that they give included security, frequently crucial when desks are totally extended.

We have not read any kind of grievances of the security of this workdesk, so we don’t believe its something to actually be worried regarding, although if you truly wanted a workdesk with a bar after that we advise you have a look at the Varidesk ProDesk 60 Electric.

Alternatively, StandDesk does supply a different add-on bar that you can include in the desk on your own, just for an extra $49.95.

Security

The stability of a standing workdesk is one of one of the most vital aspects of these desks. Without a stable desk you’ll find it hard to concentrate, which might lead to you coming to be less interested in making use of the desk at standing elevation. To obtain the best return on your investment, you’ll wish to enjoy when utilizing the desk.

Due To The Fact That the StandDesk Simple is the very first desk that I have actually examined with an optional cross support, I will break down my stability tests into 2 areas. Both tests will include the common front to back rocking examination and a left to best wobble. The first will lack the cross assistance as well as the secondly will certainly be with it. Just to keep in mind, StandDesk.co says that the addition of the cross support can raise security by as much as 15%. I have no concept exactly how they thought of that number.

Without Cross Support

Left to Right: The wobble examination was a different scenario. StandDesk Simple was the second desk that I examined that wobbled at the bottom with weight on the desktop. The first was the IKEA Bekant. By the time it reached 36″ the rocking movement was bad. Yet point it would certainly affect your work.

With Cross Assistance

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

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

Note: It’s extremely essential with flexible standing desks to completely tighten up all hardware. If there is hardware that is not totally tight, the motion experienced when extended to standing height will be exaggerated. This is especially true with a desk frame that consists of 32 bolts, there are much a lot of factors at which the desk has a possibility to move.

Conclusion

Like all the Chinese bases we have actually tested in our laboratories, we need to tighten our suggestion on the StandDesk Pro to much shorter individuals with narrower desktop computers, as the stability simply isn’t there for a huge mass raised high off the ground. American-made desks will be better fit to these applications, and for a fairly evident factor. Basically all American-made bases are made in United States factories that are had by Swedish, Danish or German companies that created this market, and also their ordinary people are a whole lot taller than the typical Eastern consumer, so they started making longer-stroke lifting legs a very long time earlier. As well as they have much more robotic automation, laser-cutting devices, as well as large experience making standing desk bases, needless to say.

But if you’re not too high, do not have an excessive amount of heavy tools on your desktop computer, as well as do not need as well wide of a desk, the StandDesk Pro will offer you great value.

All that might change with Yu’s guaranteed StandDesk Pro 2.0 design that he anticipates to launch at some point 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, and also Yu states he’s had difficulty getting the product quality he requires out of a number of Chinese factories he’s attempted dealing with. The new design is apparently mosting likely to be a lot easier to put together as well as have a heftier bar design, among other improvements. He says the new base will certainly be supplied in both a “T-Leg” as well as “C-Leg” configuration, easing our worry about side-load emphasizing on the training columns.

If this new base ever concerns market we’ll upgrade you below. We’re not holding our breath any type of longer as the most recent news on the company is that Yu shut the small Los Angeles workplace and also has actually relocated it to join with all its various other staff members in southeast Asia.

In the meantime, a new $399 standing workdesk with excellent efficiency has actually been introduce with the brand-new joint venture in between US-based iMovR and also China-based Eureka, the i1 electric standing workdesk. While limited in dimension and shade options, it has actually taken the mantle away from StandDesk’s long-ago condition as the best standing workdesk under $400.
