The StandDesk was developed by millennials, is marketed directly at millennials, as well as has actually been gobbled up by millennials in remarkable volumes. While it brings a ten-year service warranty (the longest of any kind of Chinese-made base), in this instance it’s not always a trustworthy sign of the expected valuable life of the training columns. For the price, the StandDesk is an excellent lower-cost choice to the UpLift, Jarvis and also other Chinese-made desks. Despite its security problems this is a far much 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 wide classification of Chinese-made desks that is gaining clients from both its less costly as well as costlier peers.

StandDesk Building, Configuration, and also Gadgets

Constructing the desk is pretty easy if you comply with the in-depth guidelines. Every one of the screws, bolts, washing machines, as well as springtime washing machines come in separate bags that are marked with their destination: tabletop, framework, and spares. There’s a consisted of hex device for fastening all of the screws right into the frame, or, appear a hex little bit right into your power tool– just be careful not to over-tighten.

Every one of the components have a high quality surface to them with rounded corners to stay clear of 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 additionally includes height-adjustable rotation equipments to support the front-to-back motion of the desk, which was very handy for the carpeted home office floor. I’m likewise making use of a flooring mat to safeguard the rug from chair wheel damages at sitting elevation, and press the chair when I’m transitioning to standing elevation.

Standdesk-Foot

The luxurious controller deserved the investment. The buttons are all variable stress set, implying the up and down arrowheads will adjust the height by 1/10th of an inch with a single press, or continuously readjust the height by around 0.7 inches per second if you hold the switch for 2 secs. The memory buttons are similar in design: push to recall the elevation setting, or hold the button down for five secs to keep a new height worth. I’m making use of button 1 for my sitting placement and switch 4 for my standing setting, which provides me 2 and also 3 for anything I might need in the future.

Using my Standdesk

I have actually been making use of the brand-new workdesk for a couple of weeks as well as have actually listed my preliminary perceptions:

The motors are quiet however can be listened to in the next room over. It takes maybe 25 seconds for the desk to fully change from sitting to standing based upon my presets.
I use an Ergotron side-by-side monitor arm (specifically this LX model), creating the desk to obtain a little rough when I shift my weight versus the key-board. In hindsight, I ought to have acquired the crossbar upgrade for my workdesk after establishing the weight of my monitors. If you prepare to do a dual monitor configuration, obtain the bar.

Because gravity presses the discs in a human back, I require to increase the desk higher in the early morning and reduced it at night.

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

Efficiency

In spite of any type of problems I might have had with the phone or the cookie-cutter style, pretty much all of those worries removed once I really came down to utilizing this thing.

Although I really did not think it was even possible, the StandDesk somehow takes care of to be a lot more stable than the Jarvis, both at sitting and also standing elevations. Most days I such as to run my Jarvis at max height while pressed against my wall surface; not always due to the fact that it’s that wobbly, however just because I desire as much security as I can obtain.

The StandDesk one ups the gambit also better, confirming to be equally as steady by itself at standing elevation as the Jarvis is with wall support. This is all without the company’s crossbar addition, which they claim includes even more stability when bought as a part of the bundle deal.When it pertains to weight tolerance, the StandDesk shares yet a lot more stats with the Jarvis, being ranked for up to 350 pounds of weight ability.

I’ve been utilizing the desk for concerning three weeks now for day-to-day work (and complying with standing desk ideal techniques), whether it’s inputting out testimonials similar to this one from our desktop computer or a laptop periodically. The desk stands up well against non-coastered beverages, and also the finish on top of the desk still feels equally as smooth and glossy 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 deliberately attempt to dent any workdesks also hard, throughout some lighter examinations (tossing a set of tricks onto it from a distance, as an example), it still held up without too many noticeable signs of damage.

Last but not least, when I gauged the sound outcome of the desk while it climbed from a sitting position to standing and also back again, it was by far the quietest we have actually tested yet. I could barely get it to make greater than about 9.5 dB of noise, so if your greatest problem is the whirr of your electric motor, this is certainly the one for you.

Customer support

Now, usually I do not include much regarding the customer service assistance of any provided business, just since I feel that in general if a product functions the way its meant to, I should not ever have a factor to call them to begin with. And while I desire I can say that held true throughout my experience with StandDesk, I simply can’t finish this evaluation without stating the many, relatively endless troubles I encountered trying to obtain my desk put together.

For starters, the desk I was sent really did not have any kind of memory mobile consisted of initially, which meant I had no way of really controlling the up/down feature on the desk itself. I contacted StandDesk concerning this concern, who returned to me around a day later with an apology as well as an assurance that a brand-new one would be shipped shortly.

Standdesk testimonial handset

The source of all our issues …
Regarding 4 days later a mobile showed up in the mail. The mobile originally turned on, however it had not been long before I noticed that none of the programmable switches functioned, nor did the down button, however, for some reason the “memory” button dealt with the down function simply fine. I called the company again, as well as they excused the mixup as well as said they would certainly have a brand-new panel and also control box out to me within the week.

Over two weeks later on my new panel and control box arrived. When I installed them both the desk finally started functioning the method it was expected to, however not after almost a month of waiting and also to and fro with a business that couldn’t remember to deliver a core element of their item inside the exact same box from the beginning.

Things to Consider

In spite of its bankable functions, this stand workdesk likewise has its very own disadvantages. Because no singular stand desk can record every one of the functions that you might need, you may take into consideration these in your decision-making.

Absence of a Bar as criterion

Not having a supporting crossbar is absolutely not a deal-breaker, particularly thinking about a few of our other favorite desks such as the Totally Jarvis also do not have one. As a matter of fact, this workdesk does have one if you want, however it is a paid add-on (more on this later too).

The crossbar is seen by some as a barrier, making it tougher to place your legs comfortably listed below the desk. Others, on the other hand, find that they give added security, often vital when desks are completely extended.

We have not read any type of grievances of the stability of this desk, so we do not believe its something to truly be worried concerning, although if you truly desired a workdesk with a crossbar after that we recommend you take a look at the Varidesk ProDesk 60 Electric.

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

Stability

The stability of a standing workdesk is among one of the most vital elements of these desks. Without a secure desk you’ll locate it difficult to concentrate, which could cause you ending up being much less thinking about making use of the desk at standing elevation. To obtain the best return on your investment, you’ll want to more than happy when making use of the desk.

Since the StandDesk Simple is the very first workdesk that I have checked with an optional cross support, I will certainly break down my security tests into two sections. Both examinations will certainly consist of the common front to back rocking test and an entrusted to ideal wobble. The very first will certainly lack the cross support as well as the second will certainly be with it. Simply to keep in mind, StandDesk.co claims that the addition of the cross assistance can enhance security by approximately 15%. I have no concept exactly how they developed that number.

Without Cross Assistance

Left to Right: The wobble test was a various 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 reached 36″ the shaking motion was bad. Yet point it would impact your job.

With Cross Support

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

Left to Right: Including the cross support to the StandDesk boosted the wobble motion for lower heights. With the cross assistance the wobble activity really did not start until you reached 35″. By 39″ the wobble motion came to be negative.

Keep in mind: It’s extremely important with flexible standing workdesks to totally tighten all equipment. If there is hardware that is not completely limited, the activity experienced when encompassed standing elevation will be exaggerated. This is especially real with a desk frame that consists of 32 screws, there are much a lot of factors at which the desk has a possibility to relocate.

Verdict

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 stability simply isn’t there for a big mass elevated high off the ground. American-made workdesks will be better matched to these applications, as well as for a rather apparent factor. Basically 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 lot taller than the ordinary Eastern customer, so they began making longer-stroke lifting legs a very long time back. As well as they have far more robot automation, laser-cutting equipment, and sheer experience making standing desk bases, it goes without saying.

If you’re not also high, do not have an excessive amount of hefty equipment on your desktop, as well as don’t require too broad of a desk, the StandDesk Pro will certainly offer you excellent bang for your dollar.

All that could transform with Yu’s promised StandDesk Pro 2.0 layout that he expects to launch at some point in the future. Initially we were informed we ‘d see it by June 2018. More than a year later on it has yet to materialize, as well as Yu states he’s had problem obtaining the item quality he requires out of numerous Chinese manufacturing facilities he’s tried collaborating with. The brand-new design is apparently going to be much easier to set up as well as have a heftier crossbar layout, to name a few improvements. He claims the brand-new base will be provided in both a “T-Leg” as well as “C-Leg” setup, relieving our problem regarding side-load emphasizing on the lifting columns.

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

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

The StandDesk was created by millennials, is marketed straight at millennials, and also has been gobbled up by millennials in outstanding volumes. While it brings a ten-year service warranty (the longest of any type of Chinese-made base), in this situation it’s not necessarily a dependable indication of the anticipated valuable life of the lifting columns. For the cost, the StandDesk is a terrific lower-cost option to the UpLift, Jarvis and also other Chinese-made desks. In spite of its security issues this is a far better product than the Autonomous SmartDesk or IKEA Bekant could ever hope to be, and a good value overall. It’s the mid-priced offering in the wide group of Chinese-made workdesks that is swaying consumers from both its cheaper and also more expensive peers.

StandDesk Building And Construction, Configuration, as well as Devices

Building the desk is quite direct if you adhere to the thorough guidelines. Every one of the screws, screws, washing machines, and also spring washing machines can be found in separate bags that are noted with their destination: table top, structure, as well as spares. There’s a consisted of hex device for securing every one of the screws right into the framework, or, appear a hex little bit right into your power device– simply be careful not to over-tighten.

All of the parts have a premium quality surface to them with rounded corners to prevent cut hands. Below is a shot of all the bolts that are secured to the leg setting up– it’s not going anywhere!

The foot assembly additionally consists of height-adjustable turning gears to maintain the front-to-back motion of the desk, which was extremely useful for the carpeted office floor. I’m likewise utilizing a flooring mat to shield the carpet from chair wheel damages at resting height, and also push the chair when I’m transitioning to standing height.

Standdesk-Foot

The deluxe controller deserved the investment. The switches are all variable pressure programmed, indicating the backwards and forwards arrowheads will adjust the height by 1/10th of an inch with a solitary press, or constantly readjust the elevation by around 0.7 inches per 2nd if you hold the switch for two seconds. The memory switches are similar in design: press to remember the height setting, or hold the button down for 5 seconds to keep a new height worth.

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

Efficiency

Despite any type of problems I may have had with the handset or the cookie-cutter layout, practically all of those problems washed away as soon as I really got down to using this point.

I didn’t assume it was also possible, the StandDesk in some way handles to be even much more stable than the Jarvis, both at resting as well as standing elevations. Most days I like to run my Jarvis at max height while pushed against my wall; not necessarily due to the fact that it’s that shaky, but just because I want as much stability as I can obtain.

The StandDesk one ups the gambit also additionally, proving to be equally as stable on its own at standing elevation as the Jarvis is with wall support. This is all without the firm’s bar addition, which they assert includes a lot more stability when bought as a part of the bundle deal.When it concerns weight resistance, the StandDesk shares yet even more stats with the Jarvis, being ranked for approximately 350 lbs of weight ability.

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

Customer support

Currently, usually I don’t include much concerning the customer support support of any provided firm, just since I really feel that in general if a product functions the means its meant to, I should not ever have a reason to call them in the first place. And while I wish I might say that held true throughout my experience with StandDesk, I simply can not complete this review without discussing the various, relatively unlimited troubles I ran into attempting to get my desk assembled.

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

Like all the Chinese bases we’ve tested in our laboratories, we need to narrow our recommendation on the StandDesk Pro to shorter customers with narrower desktops, as the stability simply isn’t there for a big mass boosted high off the ground. American-made desks will certainly be better fit to these applications, and also for a relatively obvious factor. Practically all American-made bases are made in US manufacturing facilities that are had by Swedish, Danish or German companies that designed this sector, and their average residents are a lot taller than the ordinary Eastern customer, so they began making longer-stroke lifting legs a long period of time earlier. And they have much more robot automation, laser-cutting tools, as well as large experience making standing workdesk bases, it goes without saying.

If you’re not also tall, don’t have an inordinate quantity of hefty equipment on your desktop computer, and do not need too broad of a desk, the StandDesk Pro will offer you good bang for your dollar.

All that might alter with Yu’s guaranteed StandDesk Pro 2.0 style that he expects to launch at some time in the future. Initially we were told we would certainly see it by June 2018. More than a year later on it has yet to materialize, as well as Yu states he’s had problem obtaining the product quality he requires out of a number of Chinese factories he’s attempted working with. The brand-new design is apparently mosting likely to be a lot easier to construct as well as have a heftier crossbar design, to name a few refinements. He says the brand-new base will certainly be provided in both a “T-Leg” and also “C-Leg” setup, relieving our worry regarding side-load emphasizing on the training columns.

If this new base ever involves market we’ll upgrade you below. But we’re not holding our breath any kind of longer as one of the most recent news on the firm is that Yu shut the small Los Angeles workplace and also has transferred it to join with all its other employees in southeast Asia.

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

The StandDesk was produced by millennials, is marketed straight at millennials, as well as has actually been demolished by millennials in excellent quantities. While it brings a ten-year service warranty (the longest of any Chinese-made base), in this situation it’s not necessarily a trusted indicator of the expected beneficial life of the lifting columns. But also for the price, the StandDesk is an excellent lower-cost choice to the UpLift, Jarvis and various other Chinese-made workdesks. Despite its security problems this is a much much better item than the Autonomous SmartDesk or IKEA Bekant can ever before hope to be, as well as a good value overall. It’s the mid-priced offering in the broad category of Chinese-made desks that is swaying customers from both its more affordable and also costlier peers.

StandDesk Building And Construction, Arrangement, and Devices

Building the desk is pretty direct if you adhere to the thorough directions. Every one of the screws, bolts, washers, and also spring washing machines been available in separate bags that are noted with their location: tabletop, framework, and also spares. There’s a consisted of hex device for attaching every one of the bolts right into the structure, or, pop in a hex bit right into your power tool– just be careful not to over-tighten.

All of the components have a premium quality coating to them with rounded corners to stay clear of 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 additionally includes height-adjustable turning equipments to maintain the front-to-back movement of the desk, which was very practical for the carpeted office floor. I’m additionally making use of a floor mat to protect the carpet from chair wheel damages at sitting elevation, and also 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 configured, implying the up and down arrowheads will certainly adjust the elevation by 1/10th of an inch with a solitary press, or continuously adjust the height by around 0.7 inches per second if you hold the switch for 2 seconds. The memory buttons are comparable in style: push to recall the elevation setup, or hold the button down for five seconds to store a brand-new elevation worth. I’m making use of button 1 for my sitting placement as well as switch 4 for my standing placement, which provides me 2 as well as 3 for anything I could need in the future.

Standdesk-Memory-unit

Using my Standdesk

I’ve been making use of the new desk for a couple of weeks as well as have actually jotted down my first impacts:

The electric motors are quiet yet can be heard in the following area over. It takes possibly 25 secs for the desk to fully shift from sitting to standing based on my presets.
I use an Ergotron side-by-side check arm (especially this LX version), creating the desk to obtain a little rough when I shift my weight against the key-board. In knowledge, I should have acquired the crossbar upgrade for my workdesk after determining the weight of my screens. If you plan to do a double monitor setup, obtain the crossbar.

Due to the fact that gravity presses the discs in a human spinal column, I need to raise the desk greater in the early morning and also reduced it in the evening.

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

Efficiency

Despite any troubles I might have had with the phone or the cookie-cutter design, pretty much all of those worries washed away as soon as I really came down to utilizing this thing.

Although I really did not believe it was also feasible, the StandDesk somehow handles to be even more steady than the Jarvis, both at resting as well as standing elevations. Most 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, but even if I desire as much stability as I can get.

The StandDesk one ups the gambit also further, proving to be equally as consistent on its own at standing elevation as the Jarvis is with wall support. This is all without the business’s crossbar addition, which they assert includes much more security when purchased as a part of the bundle deal.When it comes to weight resistance, the StandDesk shares yet even more statistics with the Jarvis, being ranked for approximately 350 pounds of weight capacity.

I’ve been utilizing the desk for about 3 weeks now for daily job (and adhering to standing workdesk ideal methods), whether it’s inputting out evaluations such as this one from our desktop or a laptop periodically. The desk holds up well against non-coastered beverages, as well as the finish on top of the desk still feels just as smooth and also slick as the day I opened it despite days of perspiring wrists wresting on it as well as numerous clean downs with a cloth.

I never ever purposefully try to dent any kind of desks too hard, during some lighter examinations (tossing a collection of tricks onto it from a distance, for example), it still held up without also numerous noticeable indicators of damage.

When I gauged the noise outcome of the workdesk while it rose from a sitting position to standing and back again, it was by far the quietest we have actually checked. I might hardly get it to make greater than concerning 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, generally I do not include much regarding the customer support support of any provided company, just due to the fact that I really feel that as a whole if an item functions the way its intended to, I shouldn’t ever before have a factor to call them to begin with. As well as while I wish I could claim that was the case throughout my experience with StandDesk, I simply can’t complete this review without pointing out the various, apparently unlimited problems I came across trying to obtain my workdesk created.

For beginners, the desk I was sent didn’t have any memory mobile phone included initially, which indicated I had no way of really regulating the up/down function on the desk itself. I got in touch with StandDesk about this concern, that got back to me around a day later with an apology and a pledge that a brand-new one would certainly be shipped out soon.

Standdesk testimonial handset

The source of all our problems …
Regarding 4 days later a handset arrived in the mail. The handset initially turned on, however it had not been long before I saw that none of the programmable buttons worked, neither did the down switch, but for some reason the “memory” switch managed the down feature just fine. I spoke to the firm once more, as well as they apologized for the mixup and stated they would certainly have a new panel as well as control box bent on me within the week.

Over two weeks later on my new panel and control box arrived. Once I installed them both the desk ultimately started functioning the way it was meant to, yet not after virtually a month of waiting and back and forth with a business that could not keep in mind to ship a core component of their product inside the exact same box from the start.

Things to Consider

In spite of its bankable functions, this stand workdesk likewise has its own drawbacks. Given that no singular stand workdesk could catch every one of the functions that you may require, you may think about these in your decision-making.

Absence of a Crossbar as criterion

Not having a maintaining crossbar is certainly not a deal-breaker, particularly considering a few of our other preferred workdesks such as the Completely Jarvis additionally don’t have one. This workdesk does have one if you want, yet it is a paid add-on (a lot more on this later on also).

The bar is seen by some as an obstacle, making it harder to put your legs easily listed below the desk. Others, on the other hand, locate that they offer added stability, usually essential when desks are fully expanded.

We have not check out any grievances of the stability of this desk, so we don’t assume its something to truly be worried about, although if you actually desired a desk with a bar then we advise you take a look at the Varidesk ProDesk 60 Electric.

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

Security

The security of a standing desk is one of the most vital aspects of these desks. Without a stable workdesk you’ll locate it difficult to concentrate, which could result in you ending up being less thinking about utilizing the desk at standing height. To get the best return on your financial investment, you’ll wish to more than happy when using the desk.

Since the StandDesk Simple is the very first workdesk that I have checked with an optional cross assistance, I will certainly break down my security tests right into two areas. Both tests will include the common front to back rocking examination and a left to best wobble. The very first will certainly be without the cross support and also the secondly will be with it. Simply to note, StandDesk.co claims that the enhancement of the cross assistance can raise stability by approximately 15%. I have no idea how they created that number.

Without Cross Support

Left to Right: The wobble test was a various scenario. StandDesk Simple was the second desk that I examined 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 shaking motion was bad. Beyond this point it would certainly impact your job.

With Cross Support

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

Left to Right: Adding the cross assistance to the StandDesk improved the wobble movement for lower heights. With the cross assistance the wobble activity didn’t start until you reached 35″. By 39″ the wobble activity came to be bad.

Keep in mind: It’s really crucial with flexible standing desks to fully tighten all equipment. If there is equipment that is not entirely limited, the movement experienced when reached standing height will be overemphasized. This is particularly real with a workdesk structure that includes 32 bolts, there are far a lot of factors at which the desk has an opportunity to move.

Verdict

Like all the Chinese bases we’ve examined in our labs, we need to narrow our referral on the StandDesk Pro to shorter users with narrower desktop computers, as the stability simply isn’t there for a large mass raised high off the ground. American-made desks will be better matched to these applications, and for a relatively obvious reason. Essentially all American-made bases are made in United States factories that are owned by Swedish, Danish or German companies that created this market, and also their ordinary citizens are a lot taller than the average Oriental consumer, so they started making longer-stroke training legs a long time earlier. And also they have much more robotic automation, laser-cutting devices, and large experience making standing workdesk bases, it goes without saying.

If you’re not as well tall, don’t have an inordinate amount of heavy equipment on your desktop, and also don’t need too large of a workdesk, the StandDesk Pro will provide you great bang for your buck.

All that could alter with Yu’s guaranteed StandDesk Pro 2.0 design that he expects to release at some time in the future. Originally we were informed we ‘d see it by June 2018. Greater than a year later on it has yet to materialize, and Yu states he’s had trouble getting the item quality he needs out of several Chinese manufacturing facilities he’s attempted dealing with. The brand-new layout is allegedly going to be a lot easier to put together and have a heftier bar style, to name a few refinements. He states the new base will be used in both a “T-Leg” and also “C-Leg” setup, reducing our concern concerning side-load worrying on the training columns.

If this new base ever pertains to market we’ll update you here. We’re not holding our breath any type of longer as the most recent information on the firm is that Yu closed the little Los Angeles workplace and has relocated it to join with all its other workers in southeast Asia.

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