The StandDesk was developed by millennials, is marketed straight at millennials, as well as has been gobbled up by millennials in excellent volumes. While it lugs a ten-year guarantee (the lengthiest of any type of Chinese-made base), in this instance it’s not always a trustworthy indication of the anticipated valuable life of the training columns. For the rate, the StandDesk is a great lower-cost alternative to the UpLift, Jarvis and also various other Chinese-made desks. Despite its security problems this is a much better product than the Autonomous SmartDesk or IKEA Bekant can ever wish to be, as well as a good value on the whole. It’s the mid-priced offering in the broad classification of Chinese-made workdesks that is winning over consumers from both its less expensive and also more expensive peers.

StandDesk Building And Construction, Setup, as well as Gadgets

Constructing the desk is quite direct if you adhere to the comprehensive directions. All of the screws, bolts, washing machines, as well as spring washing machines been available in different bags that are marked with their location: table top, structure, as well as spares. There’s an included hex tool for attaching every one of the screws into the structure, or, pop in a hex little bit into your power device– just take care not to over-tighten.

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

Standdesk-Leg

The foot setting up also consists of height-adjustable rotation gears to maintain the front-to-back motion of the desk, which was very valuable for the carpeted office flooring. I’m likewise using a flooring mat to safeguard the carpeting from chair wheel damage at resting elevation, and push the chair back when I’m transitioning to standing height.

Standdesk-Foot

The luxurious controller deserved the investment. The buttons are all variable pressure set, suggesting the backwards and forwards arrows will adjust the height by 1/10th of an inch with a single press, or continually adjust the height by around 0.7 inches per second if you hold the switch for 2 seconds. The memory switches are similar in layout: press to recall the height setting, or hold the button down for five secs to keep a new height worth. I’m utilizing switch 1 for my sitting setting and also button 4 for my standing position, which gives me 2 and also 3 for anything I may need in the future.

Utilizing my Standdesk

I have actually been utilizing the brand-new workdesk for a couple of weeks and have listed my preliminary perceptions:

The electric motors are quiet however can be heard in the next space over. It takes possibly 25 secs for the desk to completely transition from resting to standing based upon my presets.
I utilize an Ergotron side-by-side check arm (especially this LX model), triggering the desk to get a little rocky when I change my weight against the keyboard. In hindsight, I need to have bought the crossbar upgrade for my desk after determining the weight of my screens. If you prepare to do a twin screen arrangement, obtain the crossbar.

Due to the fact that gravity presses the discs in a human spinal column, I need to increase the desk greater in the morning as well as reduced it in the evening.

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

Efficiency

In spite of any kind of issues I may have had with the phone or the cookie-cutter style, practically all of those problems removed once I really got down to using this thing.

I really did not assume it was even feasible, the StandDesk in some way handles to be even a lot more steady than the Jarvis, both at resting as well as standing heights. Many days I such as to run my Jarvis at max elevation while pressed against my wall surface; not always because it’s that shaky, yet just because I want as much stability as I can obtain.

The StandDesk one ups the gambit also additionally, proving to be just as stable on its own at standing height as the Jarvis is with wall support. This is all without the business’s crossbar enhancement, which they assert adds a lot more security when purchased as a part of the package deal.When it concerns weight resistance, the StandDesk shares yet even more statistics with the Jarvis, being rated for as much as 350 lbs of weight capacity.

I’ve been using the desk for concerning three weeks now for daily work (as well as adhering to standing desk finest practices), whether it’s inputting out evaluations like this one from our desktop computer or a laptop once in a while. The desk holds up well versus non-coastered drinks, as well as the finish on top of the desk still feels equally as smooth and slick as the day I opened it despite days of perspiring wrists wresting on it and numerous clean downs with a cloth.

Though I never intentionally attempt to damage any type of desks too hard, throughout some lighter examinations (tossing a collection of tricks onto it from a distance, as an example), it still stood up without too many noticeable indicators of damages.

Lastly, when I determined the sound result of the desk while it rose from a sitting placement to standing and back 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 noise, so if your greatest issue is the whirr of your motor, this is certainly the one for you.

Customer care

Currently, typically I do not include much regarding the customer service support of any kind of offered firm, only because I really feel that as a whole if a product functions the method its meant to, I should not ever have a factor to call them in the first place. As well as while I want I could state that held true throughout my experience with StandDesk, I merely can’t complete this evaluation without discussing the many, relatively countless issues I experienced trying to get my workdesk created.

For beginners, the desk I was sent out really did not have any memory handset included originally, which indicated I had no chance of in fact regulating the up/down feature on the desk itself. I called StandDesk about this problem, who returned to me around a day later on with an apology and also a guarantee that a brand-new one would be shipped out shortly.

Standdesk evaluation handset

The resource of all our troubles …
About four days later on a mobile showed up in the mail. The handset initially activated, but it wasn’t long before I saw that none of the programmable switches worked, neither did the down button, however, for some reason the “memory” button handled the down feature simply great. I spoke to the company again, and they excused the mixup and said they would certainly have a new panel and also control box bent on me within the week.

Over two weeks later on my brand-new panel and also control box got here. As soon as I mounted them both the desk lastly started functioning the method it was expected to, however not after nearly a month of waiting and also to and fro with a business that couldn’t remember to ship a core element of their product inside the very same box from the beginning.

Things to Think about

Despite its bankable attributes, this stand up workdesk additionally has its very own disadvantages. Given that no single stand workdesk could catch every one of the features that you might need, you may think about these in your decision-making.

Absence of a Crossbar as requirement

Not having a supporting bar is certainly not a deal-breaker, especially taking into consideration several of our various other preferred workdesks such as the Completely Jarvis additionally don’t have one. This desk does have one if you desire, yet it is a paid add-on (extra on this later on also).

The bar is seen by some as a barrier, making it more difficult to put your legs conveniently below the desk. Others, on the other hand, discover that they offer included stability, commonly crucial when workdesks are fully prolonged.

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

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

Stability

The stability of a standing workdesk is one of the most vital aspects of these desks. Without a steady workdesk you’ll discover it tough to focus, which might lead to you becoming less thinking about utilizing the desk at standing elevation. To obtain the most effective return on your financial investment, you’ll intend to enjoy when utilizing the desk.

Due To The Fact That the StandDesk Simple is the first workdesk that I have tested with an optional cross assistance, I will break down my stability examinations right into two areas. Both examinations will certainly include the common front to back rocking test and a left to best wobble. The initial will be without the cross assistance as well as the second will certainly be with it. Just to note, StandDesk.co states that the enhancement of the cross assistance can increase stability by up to 15%. I have no concept how they came up with that number.

Without Cross Assistance

Left to Right: The wobble examination was a different situation. StandDesk Simple was the second desk that I evaluated that tottered at the bottom with weight on the desktop. The initial was the IKEA Bekant. By the time it got to 36″ the shaking movement was bad. Beyond this factor it would affect your work.

With Cross Assistance

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

Delegated Right: Adding the cross support to the StandDesk improved the wobble activity for lower heights. With the cross support the wobble movement didn’t begin until you got to 35″. By 39″ the wobble movement ended up being bad.

Keep in mind: It’s very crucial with flexible standing workdesks to fully tighten all hardware. If there is equipment that is not totally limited, the movement experienced when reached standing height will certainly be exaggerated. This is especially true with a desk structure that includes 32 bolts, there are much a lot of points at which the desk has a possibility to move.

Conclusion

Like all the Chinese bases we have actually evaluated in our labs, we need to tighten our referral on the StandDesk Pro to shorter individuals with narrower desktop computers, as the security just isn’t there for a huge mass raised high off the ground. American-made desks will be better suited to these applications, and for a rather apparent factor. Essentially all American-made bases are made in US manufacturing facilities that are had by Swedish, Danish or German firms that developed this market, and also their ordinary citizens are a lot taller than the ordinary Asian consumer, so they began making longer-stroke lifting legs a long period of time earlier. As well as they have much more robotic automation, laser-cutting equipment, and large experience making standing desk bases, needless to say.

But if you’re not too high, do not have an extreme amount of hefty devices on your desktop, as well as don’t need as well wide of a workdesk, the StandDesk Pro will certainly offer you excellent bang for your buck.

All that could alter with Yu’s promised StandDesk Pro 2.0 layout that he expects to release at some time in the future. Initially we were told 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 problem obtaining the item top quality he needs out of numerous Chinese manufacturing facilities he’s tried dealing with. The new style is supposedly going to be a lot easier to put together and also have a heftier crossbar style, to name a few refinements. He says the new base will be offered in both a “T-Leg” as well as “C-Leg” setup, alleviating our problem regarding side-load emphasizing on the lifting columns.

If this brand-new base ever involves market we’ll upgrade you right here. However we’re not holding our breath any type of longer as the most current information on the business is that Yu closed the small Los Angeles office and has relocated it to accompany all its various other staff members in southeast Asia.

In the meantime, a new $399 standing workdesk with impressive performance has actually been introduce through the new joint endeavor between US-based iMovR and China-based Eureka, the i1 electric standing desk. While restricted in size as well as color options, it has taken the mantle away from StandDesk’s long-ago status as the most effective standing desk under $400.

The StandDesk was developed by millennials, is marketed right at millennials, and has been gobbled up by millennials in excellent quantities. While it lugs a ten-year guarantee (the lengthiest of any type of Chinese-made base), in this instance it’s not always a dependable indication of the expected helpful life of the lifting columns. For the price, the StandDesk is a fantastic lower-cost option to the UpLift, Jarvis and other Chinese-made workdesks. Regardless of its security problems this is a much better item than the Autonomous SmartDesk or IKEA Bekant can ever want to be, and also a good value on the whole. It’s the mid-priced offering in the wide group of Chinese-made workdesks that is gaining consumers from both its more affordable and also more expensive peers.

Customer Service

Now, generally I do not consist of much regarding the customer service support of any given firm, only since I really feel that as a whole if an item functions the means its meant to, I shouldn’t ever before have a factor to call them in the first place. And while I want I might say that was the case throughout my experience with StandDesk, I just can’t finish this evaluation without pointing out the many, apparently limitless troubles I encountered attempting to obtain my desk put together.

For beginners, the desk I was sent out really did not have any memory mobile consisted of initially, which meant I had no chance of actually controlling the up/down function on the desk itself.

Points to Take into consideration

Despite its bankable features, this stand workdesk likewise has its very own drawbacks. Since no single stand workdesk can record all of the attributes that you may need, you might consider these in your decision-making.

Lack of a Bar as standard

Not having a supporting crossbar is definitely not a deal-breaker, especially thinking about some of our other favored desks such as the Totally Jarvis also do not have one. This workdesk does have one if you desire, yet it is a paid add-on (much more on this later also).

The crossbar is seen by some as a hindrance, making it more difficult to position your legs pleasantly listed below the desk. Others, on the other hand, locate that they supply added security, frequently crucial when desks are totally prolonged.

Without a steady workdesk you’ll find it hard to concentrate, which can result in you ending up being less thinking about making use of the desk at standing elevation. To get the best return on your financial investment, you’ll intend to be happy when making use of the desk.

Since the StandDesk Simple is the initial desk that I have actually evaluated with an optional cross assistance, I will certainly break down my stability examinations right into two areas. Both examinations will certainly include the normal front to back shaking examination as well as a left to appropriate wobble. The very first will be without the cross support as well as the second will be with it. Just to keep in mind, StandDesk.co claims that the addition of the cross assistance can enhance security by as much as 15%. I have no concept how they developed that number.

Without Cross Support

Left to Right: The wobble test was a different circumstance. StandDesk Simple was the second desk that I tested that wobbled at the bottom with weight on the desktop computer.

Final thought

Like all the Chinese bases we have actually examined in our labs, we need to tighten our recommendation on the StandDesk Pro to much shorter customers with narrower desktop computers, as the security just isn’t there for a large mass boosted high off the ground. American-made desks will be much better suited to these applications, and for a fairly obvious factor.

While restricted in dimension and also color options, it has taken the mantle far from StandDesk’s long-ago standing as the best standing desk under $400.

The StandDesk was developed by millennials, is marketed directly at millennials, as well as has been gobbled up by millennials in impressive quantities.

If there is equipment that is not entirely tight, the activity experienced when included standing elevation will certainly be overemphasized. This is particularly true with a desk framework that includes 32 bolts, there are much a lot of points at which the desk has a possibility to move.

Conclusion

Like all the Chinese bases we have actually tested in our laboratories, we have to tighten our referral on the StandDesk Pro to shorter users with narrower desktops, as the stability simply isn’t there for a large mass raised high off the ground. American-made workdesks will be much better suited to these applications, as well as for a rather apparent factor. Essentially all American-made bases are made in US manufacturing facilities that are had by Swedish, Danish or German firms that invented this market, and their typical citizens are a whole lot taller than the average Eastern customer, so they began making longer-stroke lifting legs a long period of time back. And also they have even more robotic automation, laser-cutting tools, and large experience making standing workdesk bases, obviously.

Yet if you’re not too tall, don’t have an excessive amount of hefty tools on your desktop computer, and do not require as well wide of a desk, the StandDesk Pro will offer you good value.

All that could transform with Yu’s guaranteed StandDesk Pro 2.0 design that he anticipates to launch at some time in the future. Originally we were informed we ‘d see it by June 2018. Greater than a year later it has yet to appear, as well as Yu states he’s had difficulty getting the product top quality he needs out of numerous Chinese manufacturing facilities he’s tried dealing with. The new style is apparently mosting likely to be a lot easier to set up as well as have a heftier crossbar design, to name a few improvements. He states the new base will certainly be provided in both a “T-Leg” and “C-Leg” setup, minimizing our problem about side-load emphasizing on the training columns.

If this brand-new base ever before involves market we’ll upgrade you below. However we’re not holding our breath any kind of longer as the most current news on the company is that Yu shut the small Los Angeles office and has actually moved it to join with all its various other workers in southeast Asia.

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

The StandDesk was created by millennials, is marketed directly at millennials, and has been demolished by millennials in outstanding volumes. While it brings a ten-year warranty (the lengthiest of any Chinese-made base), in this situation it’s not necessarily a reliable indication of the anticipated beneficial life of the lifting columns. But for the price, the StandDesk is a fantastic lower-cost alternative to the UpLift, Jarvis as well as various other Chinese-made desks. Regardless of its stability problems this is a far better product than the Autonomous SmartDesk or IKEA Bekant can ever want to be, and also a good value overall. It’s the mid-priced offering in the wide category of Chinese-made desks that is winning over customers from both its more affordable and more expensive peers.

StandDesk Construction, Arrangement, and also Gizmos

Developing the desk is pretty easy if you adhere to the detailed guidelines. All of the screws, screws, washing machines, and spring washing machines can be found in different bags that are noted with their location: table top, structure, and spares. There’s an included hex device for securing all of the bolts right into the structure, or, pop in a hex bit into your power device– simply be careful not to over-tighten.

Every one of the components have a high quality finish to them with rounded corners to prevent 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 also includes height-adjustable rotation equipments to stabilize the front-to-back activity of the desk, which was very practical for the carpeted home office floor. I’m also making use of a flooring mat to protect the carpeting from chair wheel damages at sitting height, as well as press the chair when I’m transitioning to standing elevation.

Standdesk-Foot

The deluxe controller was worth the financial investment. The buttons are all variable pressure set, implying the backwards and forwards arrowheads will certainly change the elevation by 1/10th of an inch with a single press, or continually change the elevation by about 0.7 inches per second if you hold the switch for two secs. The memory buttons are similar in design: push to remember the height setup, or hold the button down for 5 seconds to save a new elevation worth. I’m making use of switch 1 for my resting setting and also switch 4 for my standing position, which offers me 2 and also 3 for anything I might require in the future.

Standdesk-Memory-unit

Utilizing my Standdesk

I have actually been using the new workdesk for a few weeks and also have actually written down my first impressions:

The motors are quiet yet can be listened to in the next room over. It takes probably 25 secs for the desk to fully transition from resting to standing based on my presets.
I utilize an Ergotron side-by-side keep track of arm (specifically this LX design), creating the desk to obtain a little rocky when I shift my weight versus the keyboard. In knowledge, I need to have acquired the crossbar upgrade for my desk after establishing the weight of my screens. If you plan to do a dual screen setup, obtain the bar.

Since gravity compresses the discs in a human spinal column, I require to increase the desk greater in the morning as well as lower it at night.

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

Efficiency

Despite any kind of troubles I might have had with the mobile phone or the cookie-cutter style, pretty much every one of those issues removed when I in fact got down to utilizing this thing.

Although I didn’t assume it was also feasible, the StandDesk in some way handles to be much more steady than the Jarvis, both at resting as well as standing heights. Many days I such as to run my Jarvis at max height while pressed versus my wall; not always because it’s that shaky, yet even if I want as much security as I can obtain.

The StandDesk one ups the gambit even further, showing to be equally as consistent on its own at standing height as the Jarvis is with wall support. This is all without the firm’s bar enhancement, which they claim adds a lot more stability when purchased as a part of the package deal.When it concerns weight tolerance, the StandDesk shares yet much more statistics with the Jarvis, being rated for approximately 350 pounds of weight ability.

I have actually been making use of the desk for about three weeks now for daily work (as well as following standing workdesk finest practices), whether it’s inputting out evaluations such as this one from our desktop computer or a laptop computer periodically. The desk holds up well against non-coastered drinks, and also the surface on top of the desk still really feels just as smooth and also slick as the day I opened it regardless of days of sweaty wrists wresting on it and also several clean downs with a dustcloth.

I never deliberately attempt to dent any type of workdesks also hard, throughout some lighter tests (tossing a set of keys onto it from a range, for instance), it still held up without too many noticeable indications of damages.

When I measured the noise result of the workdesk while it climbed from a resting placement to standing and also back once again, it was by far the quietest we have actually checked. I can hardly get it to make greater than concerning 9.5 dB of sound, so if your greatest problem is the whirr of your electric motor, this is absolutely the one for you.

Customer support

Now, normally I don’t consist of much regarding the customer care assistance of any kind of given company, only since I really feel that in general if an item works the method its intended to, I shouldn’t ever have a factor to call them to begin with. And also while I want I might say that held true throughout my experience with StandDesk, I just can’t complete this evaluation without pointing out the many, relatively unlimited troubles I ran into attempting to obtain my workdesk created.

For beginners, the desk I was sent didn’t have any kind of memory mobile included originally, which implied I had no other way of in fact controlling the up/down feature on the desk itself. I contacted StandDesk regarding this issue, who got back to me around a day later with an apology as well as a guarantee that a brand-new one would be shipped out quickly.

Standdesk review handset

The source of all our troubles …
Regarding 4 days later a phone arrived in the mail. The mobile phone at first switched on, however it wasn’t long before I noticed that none of the programmable buttons functioned, neither did the down button, but for some factor the “memory” button handled the down feature simply fine. I got in touch with the business again, and also they apologized for the mixup and also stated they would certainly have a new panel as well as control box out to me within the week.

Over 2 weeks later my brand-new panel and also control box arrived. As soon as I installed them both the desk lastly started functioning the method it was expected to, however not after nearly a month of waiting and also to and fro with a firm that couldn’t bear in mind to deliver a core component of their product inside the same box from the outset.

Points to Take into consideration

In spite of its bankable functions, this stand up desk likewise has its very own drawbacks. Because no particular stand desk can record all of the attributes that you may require, you may think about these in your decision-making.

Absence of a Crossbar as criterion

Not having a supporting crossbar is absolutely not a deal-breaker, particularly thinking about a few of our various other favorite desks such as the Fully Jarvis also do not have one. This desk does have one if you desire, but it is a paid add-on (much more on this later also).

The bar is seen by some as an obstacle, making it more challenging to put your legs pleasantly below the desk. Others, on the other hand, discover that they supply included stability, commonly crucial when desks are fully prolonged.

We have not review any kind of complaints of the stability of this workdesk, so we do not assume its something to actually be worried concerning, although if you actually wanted a desk with a crossbar after that we recommend you have a look at the Varidesk ProDesk 60 Electric.

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

Stability

The stability of a standing desk is among one of the most important facets of these desks. Without a secure desk you’ll find it difficult to focus, which might lead to you coming to be less thinking about utilizing the desk at standing height. To obtain the most effective return on your financial investment, you’ll want to enjoy when making use of the desk.

Due To The Fact That the StandDesk Simple is the initial desk that I have checked with an optional cross assistance, I will break down my security tests into 2 areas. Both examinations will certainly consist of the typical front to back rocking test and also a delegated appropriate wobble. The initial will lack the cross support as well as the secondly will be with it. Simply to note, StandDesk.co claims that the addition of the cross assistance can raise security by approximately 15%. I have no concept how they thought of that number.

Without Cross Support

Left to Right: The wobble examination was a various scenario. StandDesk Simple was the second workdesk that I tested that tottered near the bottom with weight on the desktop computer. The initial was the IKEA Bekant. By the time it reached 36″ the shaking movement was bad. Yet point it would affect your job.

With Cross Assistance

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

Entrusted to Right: Including the cross support to the StandDesk enhanced the wobble movement for lower elevations. With the cross assistance the wobble motion didn’t start up until you reached 35″. By 39″ the wobble motion came to be negative.

Keep in mind: It’s very vital with flexible standing workdesks to fully tighten all hardware. If there is equipment that is not completely tight, the movement experienced when reached standing height will be exaggerated. This is particularly true with a desk framework that includes 32 bolts, there are far a lot of factors at which the desk has a chance to relocate.

Final thought

Like all the Chinese bases we’ve tested in our laboratories, we have to tighten our suggestion on the StandDesk Pro to much shorter individuals with narrower desktops, as the stability just isn’t there for a huge mass boosted high off the ground. American-made desks will certainly be better matched to these applications, and also for a relatively evident reason. Virtually all American-made bases are made in US factories that are possessed by Swedish, Danish or German firms that created this sector, as well as their ordinary residents are a lot taller than the average Asian consumer, so they began making longer-stroke training legs a long period of time ago. And also they have even more robotic automation, laser-cutting equipment, as well as sheer experience making standing desk bases, needless to say.

However if you’re not also high, don’t have an extreme amount of heavy equipment on your desktop computer, and also don’t require as well wide of a workdesk, the StandDesk Pro will offer you good bang for your buck.

All that may alter with Yu’s assured StandDesk Pro 2.0 style that he anticipates to release at some time in the future. Originally we were informed we would certainly see it by June 2018. More than a year later on it has yet to emerge, as well as Yu states he’s had difficulty getting the item quality he needs out of numerous Chinese factories he’s attempted dealing with. The brand-new design is supposedly going to be a lot easier to set up and also have a heftier crossbar layout, to name a few refinements. He states the new base will be offered in both a “T-Leg” and “C-Leg” arrangement, reducing our problem about side-load emphasizing on the lifting columns.

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

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