The StandDesk was created by millennials, is marketed right at millennials, as well as has been demolished by millennials in excellent quantities. While it brings a ten-year service warranty (the lengthiest of any Chinese-made base), in this instance it’s not necessarily a reliable indication of the anticipated valuable life of the lifting columns. For the cost, the StandDesk is a fantastic lower-cost alternative to the UpLift, Jarvis as well as various other Chinese-made workdesks. Regardless of its security issues this is a far much better product than the Autonomous SmartDesk or IKEA Bekant could ever before want to be, as well as a good value on the whole. It’s the mid-priced offering in the wide group of Chinese-made desks that is winning over consumers from both its more affordable and also pricier peers.

StandDesk Building And Construction, Configuration, and also Devices

Constructing the desk is quite straight forward if you comply with the comprehensive guidelines. All of the screws, screws, washers, and also spring washing machines been available in separate bags that are marked with their location: tabletop, framework, as well as spares. There’s an included hex tool for attaching all of the screws into the framework, or, appear a hex little bit into your power tool– just take care not to over-tighten.

All of the components have a premium quality finish to them with rounded corners to stay clear of 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 setting up likewise includes height-adjustable turning gears to stabilize the front-to-back movement of the desk, which was extremely helpful for the carpeted office floor. I’m likewise using a flooring mat to safeguard the carpet from chair wheel damages at resting elevation, and push the chair back when I’m transitioning to standing height.

Standdesk-Foot

The deluxe controller was worth the investment. The switches are all variable stress configured, suggesting the up and down arrows will certainly readjust the elevation by 1/10th of an inch with a single press, or continually readjust the elevation by about 0.7 inches per 2nd if you hold the button 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 store a new elevation value. I’m utilizing button 1 for my sitting setting and also button 4 for my standing position, which provides me 2 and 3 for anything I might need in the future.

Using my Standdesk

I’ve been utilizing the brand-new desk for a few weeks and also have documented my preliminary impacts:

The electric motors are quiet but can be listened to in the next space over. It takes maybe 25 secs for the desk to completely change from sitting to standing based upon my presets.
I make use of an Ergotron side-by-side check arm (particularly this LX model), triggering the desk to obtain a little rough when I shift my weight against the key-board. In hindsight, I should have purchased the bar upgrade for my desk after establishing the weight of my screens. If you plan to do a twin display arrangement, get the bar.

Since gravity presses the discs in a human spine, I need to increase the desk greater in the early morning as well as lower it at night.

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

Performance

In spite of any type of troubles I may have had with the handset or the cookie-cutter design, basically all of those issues gotten rid of as soon as I really came down to utilizing this thing.

Although I didn’t believe it was even feasible, the StandDesk somehow handles to be much more steady than the Jarvis, both at resting and also standing elevations. The majority of days I like to run my Jarvis at max elevation while pressed against my wall; not necessarily since it’s that unsteady, yet just because I want as much security as I can get.

The StandDesk one ups the gambit even additionally, verifying to be just as constant on its own at standing elevation as the Jarvis is with wall support. This is all without the company’s crossbar enhancement, which they claim adds even more stability when purchased as a part of the package deal.When it pertains to weight tolerance, the StandDesk shares yet much more statistics with the Jarvis, being ranked for as much as 350 lbs of weight capacity.

I have actually been using the desk for about three weeks currently for everyday work (and also following standing desk ideal practices), whether it’s typing out testimonials similar to this one from our desktop computer or a laptop periodically. The desk stands up well against non-coastered beverages, as well as the surface in addition to the desk still feels just as smooth and slick as the day I opened it in spite of days of sweaty wrists wresting on it and also several clean downs with a dustcloth.

Though I never intentionally attempt to dent any kind of desks too hard, during some lighter tests (tossing a set of secrets onto it from a distance, for example), it still stood up without way too many visible indications of damage.

Lastly, when I measured the sound result of the desk while it increased from a sitting position to standing as well as back again, it was without a doubt the quietest we have actually examined yet. I might barely get it to make more than regarding 9.5 dB of sound, so if your largest concern is the whirr of your electric motor, this is definitely the one for you.

Client service

Currently, generally I do not consist of much regarding the customer service assistance of any kind of offered business, just due to the fact that I really feel that as a whole if an item works the way its meant to, I should not ever have a reason to call them to begin with. As well as while I wish I could say that held true during my experience with StandDesk, I merely can not finish this evaluation without stating the numerous, apparently unlimited issues I encountered attempting to get my workdesk created.

For starters, the desk I was sent out didn’t have any kind of memory mobile phone consisted of originally, which implied I had no chance of really controlling the up/down function on the desk itself. I got in touch with StandDesk concerning this concern, who got back to me around a day later with an apology as well as a guarantee that a brand-new one would certainly be shipped out quickly.

Standdesk review handset

The source of all our problems …
Concerning 4 days later a phone showed up in the mail. The mobile at first activated, yet it wasn’t long before I observed that none of the programmable buttons worked, nor did the down button, but also for some reason the “memory” button took care of the down feature just great. I spoke to the company once again, and also they apologized for the mixup and stated they would certainly have a brand-new panel as well as control box bent on me within the week.

Over 2 weeks later my new panel and also control box got here. When I mounted them both the desk finally began functioning the means it was supposed to, but not after nearly a month of waiting and also backward and forward with a firm that couldn’t bear in mind to ship a core component of their item inside the exact same box from the start.

Points to Consider

Regardless of its bankable features, this stand up desk likewise has its very own drawbacks. Considering that no singular stand desk could capture every one of the attributes that you might need, you might take into consideration these in your decision-making.

Absence of a Bar as standard

Not having a stabilizing bar is definitely not a deal-breaker, specifically thinking about some of our various other favorite workdesks 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 (a lot more on this later on as well).

The bar is seen by some as a barrier, making it more challenging to position your legs conveniently below the desk. Others, on the other hand, discover that they offer added security, often vital when workdesks are fully extended.

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

Additionally, StandDesk does provide a different add-on crossbar that you can include in the desk on your own, just for an additional $49.95.

Stability

The security of a standing workdesk is one of the most crucial aspects of these desks. Without a secure workdesk you’ll find it hard to focus, which could result in you ending up being much less interested in making use of the desk at standing height. To get the best return on your investment, you’ll intend to enjoy when utilizing the desk.

Due To The Fact That the StandDesk Simple is the first desk that I have examined with an optional cross assistance, I will break down my stability examinations into two sections. Both examinations will certainly include the regular front to back shaking test and also an entrusted to ideal wobble. The first will certainly lack the cross assistance and also the secondly will be with it. Simply to note, StandDesk.co claims that the enhancement of the cross support can enhance security by as much as 15%. I have no concept exactly how they thought of that number.

Without Cross Assistance

Left to Right: The wobble test was a different scenario. StandDesk Simple was the second workdesk that I examined that tottered at the bottom with weight on the desktop. The initial was the IKEA Bekant. By the time it reached 36″ the rocking movement misbehaved. Yet point it would certainly influence your job.

With Cross Support

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

Left to Right: Adding the cross support to the StandDesk improved the wobble motion for reduced heights. With the cross assistance the wobble motion didn’t start up until you reached 35″. By 39″ the wobble activity ended up being poor.

Note: It’s really vital with flexible standing desks to totally tighten up all equipment. If there is equipment that is not completely tight, the movement experienced when included standing elevation will be overemphasized. This is especially true with a workdesk frame that includes 32 bolts, there are much way too many factors at which the desk has an opportunity to relocate.

Final thought

Like all the Chinese bases we’ve checked in our laboratories, we need to narrow our referral on the StandDesk Pro to much shorter individuals with narrower desktops, 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, and also for a fairly apparent reason. Basically all American-made bases are made in United States manufacturing facilities that are owned by Swedish, Danish or German firms that invented this sector, as well as their ordinary citizens are a great deal taller than the ordinary Eastern customer, so they began making longer-stroke training legs a long period of time earlier. And also they have even more robot automation, laser-cutting devices, and also sheer experience making standing workdesk bases, obviously.

However if you’re not as well tall, do not have an extreme quantity of hefty tools on your desktop computer, and also do not require too wide of a desk, the StandDesk Pro will offer you excellent bang for your buck.

All that may transform with Yu’s guaranteed StandDesk Pro 2.0 layout 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 emerge, and also Yu states he’s had trouble getting the item high quality he needs out of a number of Chinese factories he’s tried dealing with. The new design is allegedly mosting likely to be a lot easier to construct and have a heftier crossbar design, among other refinements. He states the new base will certainly be supplied in both a “T-Leg” and “C-Leg” arrangement, minimizing our problem regarding side-load stressing on the training columns.

If this brand-new base ever before pertains to market we’ll upgrade you right here. However we’re not holding our breath any kind of longer as one of the most current news on the business is that Yu shut the small Los Angeles workplace and has relocated it to accompany all its other workers in southeast Asia.

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

The StandDesk was developed by millennials, is marketed directly at millennials, and has been gobbled up by millennials in remarkable quantities. While it lugs a ten-year guarantee (the lengthiest of any Chinese-made base), in this case it’s not necessarily a trusted sign of the expected valuable life of the training columns. But also for the rate, the StandDesk is a terrific lower-cost option to the UpLift, Jarvis as well as various other Chinese-made desks. In spite of its security problems this is a much much better product than the Autonomous SmartDesk or IKEA Bekant can ever want to be, as well as a good value generally. It’s the mid-priced offering in the broad group of Chinese-made desks that is swaying customers from both its cheaper as well as more expensive peers.

There’s a consisted of hex device for securing every one of the screws right into the framework, or, pop in a hex little bit right into your power tool– just take care not to over-tighten.

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

The foot setting up additionally includes height-adjustable turning gears to support the front-to-back activity of the desk, which was extremely handy for the carpeted home office flooring. I’m additionally using a floor mat to secure the rug from chair wheel damages at resting height, and also push the chair when I’m transitioning to standing elevation.

The deluxe controller was worth the investment. The buttons are all variable stress programmed, meaning the up and down arrowheads will adjust the height by 1/10th of an inch with a solitary press, or constantly change the height by about 0.7 inches per 2nd if you hold the switch for two secs. The memory switches are comparable in style: press to recall the elevation setting, or hold the button down for five secs to keep a new elevation value.

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

Performance

In spite of any kind of problems I may have had with the phone or the cookie-cutter style, pretty much all of those worries washed away once I really came down to using this point.

Although I really did not think it was even feasible, the StandDesk in some way handles to be much more secure than the Jarvis, both at resting as well as standing elevations. A lot of days I such as to run my Jarvis at max height while pushed against my wall surface; not always due to the fact that it’s that unsteady, but even if I want as much security as I can obtain.

The StandDesk one ups the gambit even further, verifying to be just as steady by itself at standing height as the Jarvis is with wall support. This is all without the business’s crossbar enhancement, which they claim includes a lot more security when acquired as a part of the plan deal.When it involves weight tolerance, the StandDesk shares yet even more stats with the Jarvis, being ranked for as much as 350 pounds of weight ability.

I might hardly get it to make more than concerning 9.5 dB of sound, so if your largest concern 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 client service support of any type of provided company, only since I feel that generally if an item functions the method its intended to, I should not ever before have a factor to call them in the first place. As well as while I desire I might say that was the case throughout my experience with StandDesk, I just can not complete this review without mentioning the numerous, apparently limitless issues I experienced trying to get my desk created.

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

Lack of a Bar as criterion

Not having a supporting bar is definitely not a deal-breaker, particularly taking into consideration several of our other favored desks such as the Totally Jarvis also don’t have one. Actually, this workdesk does have one if you want, yet it is a paid add-on (a lot more on this later on as well).

Keep in mind: It’s very vital with adjustable standing desks to totally tighten all hardware. If there is equipment that is not totally tight, the movement experienced when extended to standing elevation will be exaggerated. This is particularly real with a desk frame that includes 32 screws, there are far way too many factors at which the desk has an opportunity to relocate.

Final thought

Like all the Chinese bases we have actually examined in our labs, we need to tighten our referral on the StandDesk Pro to much shorter users with narrower desktops, as the stability simply isn’t there for a large mass elevated high off the ground. American-made workdesks will be much better fit to these applications, and also for a fairly obvious reason. Basically all American-made bases are made in United States manufacturing facilities that are had by Swedish, Danish or German firms that invented this industry, as well as their ordinary citizens are a great deal taller than the typical Asian consumer, so they started making longer-stroke training legs a very long time ago. And also they have even more robot automation, laser-cutting tools, as well as sheer experience making standing desk bases, needless to say.

However if you’re not as well high, don’t have an excessive quantity of hefty devices on your desktop computer, and don’t require as well wide of a desk, the StandDesk Pro will certainly give you excellent bang for your buck.

All that might change with Yu’s assured StandDesk Pro 2.0 design that he anticipates to release at some point in the future. Originally we were told we ‘d see it by June 2018. Greater than a year later it has yet to materialize, and Yu states he’s had trouble getting the item high quality he requires out of a number of Chinese manufacturing facilities he’s attempted dealing with. The new design is allegedly mosting likely to be much easier to put together and have a heftier bar layout, among other refinements. He claims the new base will be used in both a “T-Leg” and “C-Leg” configuration, minimizing our issue about side-load emphasizing on the training columns.

If this brand-new base ever before pertains to market we’ll update you below. We’re not holding our breath any longer as the most current news on the business is that Yu closed the little Los Angeles office as well as has transferred it to join with all its various other employees in southeast Asia.

In the meantime, a new $399 standing desk with excellent efficiency has actually been present with the brand-new joint endeavor between US-based iMovR and also China-based Eureka, the i1 electrical standing desk. While restricted in size as well as shade choices, 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, as well as has been demolished by millennials in impressive quantities. While it carries a ten-year service warranty (the longest of any type of Chinese-made base), in this instance it’s not necessarily a reliable sign of the expected useful life of the training columns. But for the cost, the StandDesk is a great lower-cost option to the UpLift, Jarvis as well as various other Chinese-made workdesks. Despite its security problems this is a far better item than the Autonomous SmartDesk or IKEA Bekant could ever before hope to be, and also a good value in general. It’s the mid-priced offering in the broad classification of Chinese-made desks that is winning over clients from both its cheaper and also costlier peers.

StandDesk Building, Setup, as well as Devices

Constructing the desk is pretty direct if you adhere to the in-depth instructions. All of the screws, bolts, washing machines, and springtime washing machines come in different bags that are marked with their location: table top, structure, and also spares. There’s an included hex device for fastening all of the screws right into the structure, or, pop in a hex bit into your power tool– just be careful not to over-tighten.

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

Standdesk-Leg

The foot assembly additionally consists of height-adjustable rotation gears to maintain the front-to-back activity of the desk, which was extremely useful for the carpeted office floor. I’m likewise making use of a floor mat to secure the rug from chair wheel damages at resting elevation, as well as push the chair when I’m transitioning to standing height.

Standdesk-Foot

The luxurious controller was worth the investment. The buttons are all variable pressure programmed, indicating the up and down arrows will readjust the height 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 recall the elevation setting, or hold the button down for 5 secs to keep a new elevation value. I’m making use of switch 1 for my resting setting and also switch 4 for my standing position, which gives me 2 and also 3 for anything I may require in the future.

Standdesk-Memory-unit

Using my Standdesk

I’ve been using the brand-new workdesk for a couple of weeks and also have made a note of my preliminary impressions:

The electric motors are quiet however can be listened to in the following space over. It takes maybe 25 secs for the desk to completely shift from resting to standing based upon my presets.
I use an Ergotron side-by-side check arm (especially this LX version), triggering the desk to get a little rocky when I change my weight versus the keyboard. In knowledge, I need to have purchased the bar upgrade for my desk after determining the weight of my monitors. If you intend to do a double display arrangement, obtain the crossbar.

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

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

Efficiency

In spite of any problems I may have had with the phone or the cookie-cutter design, pretty much all of those problems removed as soon as I actually got down to using this point.

I really did not assume it was even feasible, the StandDesk in some way handles to be even more steady than the Jarvis, both at sitting as well as standing heights. Most days I such as to run my Jarvis at max elevation while pushed against my wall; not necessarily due to the fact that it’s that shaky, however just because I desire as much security as I can obtain.

The StandDesk one ups the gambit even further, proving to be just as consistent by itself at standing elevation as the Jarvis is with wall support. This is all without the business’s bar enhancement, which they claim adds a lot more security when bought as a part of the bundle deal.When it pertains to weight tolerance, the StandDesk shares yet much more stats with the Jarvis, being rated for as much as 350 lbs of weight capacity.

I’ve been making use of the desk for concerning three weeks currently for daily work (and following standing workdesk finest methods), whether it’s keying out reviews such as this one from our desktop or a laptop periodically. The desk stands up well against non-coastered drinks, as well as the finish on top of the desk still feels just as smooth as well as glossy as the day I opened it regardless of days of perspiring wrists wresting on it and several clean downs with a cloth.

Though I never deliberately attempt to damage any kind of desks as well hard, throughout some lighter examinations (throwing a collection of secrets onto it from a range, as an example), it still stood up without a lot of noticeable indicators of damage.

Lastly, when I gauged the sound outcome of the desk while it rose from a resting placement to standing as well as back again, it was by far the quietest we have actually tested yet. I might barely get it to make more than regarding 9.5 dB of sound, so if your biggest concern is the whirr of your motor, this is certainly the one for you.

Client service

Now, usually I do not consist of much about the customer support assistance of any type of offered business, just since I really feel that in general if a product works the means its supposed to, I shouldn’t ever before have a reason to call them in the first place. And while I want I might say that held true throughout my experience with StandDesk, I just can’t complete this testimonial without mentioning the many, seemingly unlimited issues I experienced trying to get my desk assembled.

For beginners, the desk I was sent didn’t have any kind of memory mobile phone consisted of originally, which implied I had no chance of actually regulating the up/down feature on the desk itself. I spoke to StandDesk about this concern, that got back to me around a day later with an apology as well as an assurance that a new one would be shipped shortly.

Standdesk review handset

The source of all our troubles …
About four days later a handset showed up in the mail. The mobile at first turned on, but it wasn’t long before I saw that none of the programmable switches functioned, nor did the down button, but also for some factor the “memory” button handled the down feature simply great. I contacted the company once more, and also they excused the mixup and stated they would have a brand-new panel and also control box bent on me within the week.

Over two weeks later on my brand-new panel as well as control box showed up. As soon as I installed them both the desk finally started functioning the means it was supposed to, but not after virtually a month of waiting and also back and forth with a business that couldn’t keep in mind to ship a core component of their product inside the exact same box from the outset.

Points to Consider

In spite of its bankable features, this stand desk likewise has its own downsides. Considering that no singular stand desk can catch every one of the functions that you might need, you might take into consideration these in your decision-making.

Lack of a Bar as standard

Not having a stabilizing crossbar is absolutely not a deal-breaker, specifically taking into consideration several of our various other favored workdesks such as the Fully Jarvis also don’t have one. As a matter of fact, this workdesk does have one if you desire, however it is a paid add-on (much more on this later on also).

The bar is seen by some as an obstacle, making it more challenging to put your legs conveniently below the desk. Others, on the other hand, find that they give added stability, frequently critical when workdesks are completely prolonged.

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

StandDesk does provide a different add-on crossbar that you can include to the desk yourself, simply for an additional $49.95.

Stability

The security of a standing workdesk is among the most important elements of these workdesks. Without a stable workdesk you’ll locate it difficult to concentrate, which might cause you ending up being much less interested in making use of the desk at standing elevation. To obtain the very best return on your financial investment, you’ll wish to enjoy when utilizing the desk.

Because the StandDesk Simple is the initial desk that I have actually evaluated with an optional cross support, I will break down my security tests right into 2 sections. Both examinations will certainly consist of the normal front to back shaking examination as well as an entrusted to right wobble. The initial will be without the cross support as well as the secondly will be with it. Just to note, StandDesk.co claims that the enhancement of the cross support can enhance security by as much as 15%. I have no concept how they created that number.

Without Cross Support

Left to Right: The wobble test was a various situation. StandDesk Simple was the second workdesk that I checked that tottered at the bottom with weight on the desktop computer. The initial was the IKEA Bekant. By the time it got to 36″ the shaking movement was bad. Beyond this point it would influence your job.

With Cross Assistance

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

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

Keep in mind: It’s very vital with adjustable standing workdesks to totally tighten all equipment. If there is hardware that is not completely limited, the motion experienced when encompassed standing elevation will certainly be exaggerated. This is especially real with a desk framework that consists of 32 screws, there are far too many points at which the desk has a chance to move.

Conclusion

Like all the Chinese bases we’ve checked in our laboratories, we need to narrow our recommendation on the StandDesk Pro to much shorter users with narrower desktops, as the stability simply isn’t there for a huge mass elevated high off the ground. American-made desks will be much better fit to these applications, and also for a relatively evident reason. Essentially all American-made bases are made in US factories that are owned by Swedish, Danish or German firms that designed this industry, and their average citizens are a whole lot taller than the typical Eastern customer, so they started making longer-stroke lifting legs a long time back. And also they have even more robot automation, laser-cutting equipment, and large experience making standing desk bases, it goes without saying.

If you’re not also tall, don’t have an inordinate quantity of hefty tools on your desktop, and do not require as well wide of a workdesk, the StandDesk Pro will certainly offer you excellent bang for your buck.

All that could change with Yu’s promised StandDesk Pro 2.0 style that he anticipates to launch sometime in the future. Originally we were informed we would certainly see it by June 2018. More than a year later it has yet to appear, and also Yu states he’s had difficulty getting the item high quality he requires out of numerous Chinese factories he’s tried working with. The new layout is apparently going to be much easier to put together and also have a heftier crossbar design, to name a few refinements. He says the brand-new base will certainly be offered in both a “T-Leg” and also “C-Leg” arrangement, relieving our issue regarding side-load worrying on the lifting columns.

If this brand-new base ever involves market we’ll update you below. We’re not holding our breath any longer as the most current news on the firm is that Yu closed the little Los Angeles workplace and also has relocated it to join with all its other staff members in southeast Asia.

In the meantime, a new $399 standing desk with remarkable performance has been introduce via the brand-new joint venture in between US-based iMovR and also China-based Eureka, the i1 electric standing desk. While limited in dimension and also shade alternatives, it has taken the mantle away from StandDesk’s long-ago status as the best standing desk under $400.
