The StandDesk was developed by millennials, is marketed straight at millennials, and has been gobbled up by millennials in excellent quantities. While it brings a ten-year warranty (the longest of any kind of Chinese-made base), in this instance it’s not necessarily a reliable indication of the anticipated useful life of the training columns. But for the cost, the StandDesk is an excellent lower-cost alternative to the UpLift, Jarvis and also various other Chinese-made desks. Regardless of its security issues this is a much better product than the Autonomous SmartDesk or IKEA Bekant could ever wish to be, as well as a good value overall. It’s the mid-priced offering in the broad classification of Chinese-made desks that is swaying customers from both its more affordable and pricier peers.

StandDesk Building, Configuration, and Gadgets

Developing the desk is rather straight forward if you comply with the comprehensive instructions. Every one of the screws, screws, washing machines, as well as springtime washing machines been available in separate bags that are noted with their location: table top, frame, as well as spares. There’s an included hex tool for securing every one of the bolts right into the structure, or, pop in a hex little bit right into your power tool– simply be careful not to over-tighten.

Every one of the parts have a top quality finish to them with rounded edges 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 consists of height-adjustable rotation gears to stabilize the front-to-back movement of the desk, which was extremely helpful for the carpeted home office flooring. I’m additionally making use of a floor mat to secure the rug from chair wheel damages at resting height, as well as push the chair back when I’m transitioning to standing height.

Standdesk-Foot

The luxurious controller was worth the investment. The buttons are all variable pressure programmed, implying the backwards and forwards arrows will certainly adjust the elevation by 1/10th of an inch with a solitary press, or continually change the height by around 0.7 inches per second if you hold the button for 2 seconds. The memory buttons are comparable in style: push to recall the height setup, or hold the button down for five secs to save a new height worth. I’m making use of button 1 for my sitting placement as well as button 4 for my standing placement, which offers me 2 and 3 for anything I might need in the future.

Using my Standdesk

I have actually been utilizing the new desk for a few weeks and have actually documented my initial impacts:

The motors are quiet but can be listened to in the following space over. It takes maybe 25 secs for the desk to fully change from resting to standing based on my presets.
I make use of an Ergotron side-by-side check arm (specifically this LX model), triggering the desk to obtain a little rough when I shift my weight versus the key-board. In knowledge, I should have acquired the bar upgrade for my desk after figuring out the weight of my displays. If you plan to do a twin monitor configuration, obtain the bar.

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

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

Performance

Regardless of any kind of problems I might have had with the mobile or the cookie-cutter design, practically all of those issues washed away when I actually got down to utilizing this point.

Although I really did not assume it was also feasible, the StandDesk in some way manages to be a lot more secure than the Jarvis, both at resting and standing elevations. Most days I like to run my Jarvis at max elevation while pushed versus my wall surface; not always due to the fact that it’s that shaky, but just because I want as much security as I can obtain.

The StandDesk one ups the gambit also better, verifying to be just as consistent on its own at standing elevation as the Jarvis is with wall support. This is all without the company’s bar enhancement, which they assert adds even more security when purchased as a part of the package deal.When it pertains to weight resistance, the StandDesk shares yet even more stats with the Jarvis, being rated for as much as 350 lbs of weight capability.

I have actually been utilizing the desk for about three weeks now for day-to-day job (and adhering to standing desk best practices), whether it’s typing out testimonials like this one from our desktop computer or a laptop every now and then. The desk holds up well against non-coastered beverages, as well as the finish in addition to the desk still feels equally as smooth and also glossy as the day I opened it regardless of days of perspiring wrists wresting on it and also several clean downs with a dustcloth.

Though I never ever deliberately attempt to damage any workdesks as well hard, during some lighter tests (tossing a set of keys onto it from a distance, for example), it still held up without a lot of noticeable indications of damages.

When I determined the noise result of the workdesk while it rose from a sitting setting to standing as well as back once more, it was by much the quietest we have actually evaluated. I might barely get it to make greater than concerning 9.5 dB of noise, so if your most significant worry is the whirr of your electric motor, this is absolutely the one for you.

Customer Service

Currently, usually I do not consist of much regarding the customer service support of any provided company, only since I really feel that as a whole if an item works the way its intended to, I shouldn’t ever before have a reason to call them to begin with. And while I want I can say that held true during my experience with StandDesk, I simply can not finish this evaluation without stating the many, apparently limitless issues I experienced attempting to obtain my workdesk assembled.

For beginners, the desk I was sent really did not have any type of memory mobile phone included originally, which meant I had no way of in fact managing the up/down feature on the desk itself. I contacted StandDesk concerning this concern, that got back to me around a day later with an apology as well as a guarantee that a new one would be shipped out soon.

Standdesk review handset

The resource of all our troubles …
Regarding four days later on a mobile phone got here in the mail. The mobile at first switched on, but it wasn’t long prior to I discovered that none of the programmable switches functioned, nor did the down switch, but also for some factor the “memory” button managed the down function simply great. I contacted the business again, as well as they excused the mixup and said they would have a new panel and 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 ultimately began functioning the means it was intended to, but not after nearly a month of waiting and to and fro with a business that could not remember to ship a core component of their item inside the very same box from the outset.

Points to Think about

In spite of its bankable features, this stand up workdesk likewise has its own downsides. Considering that no single stand desk might capture all of the features that you might need, you might consider these in your decision-making.

Absence of a Bar as criterion

Not having a supporting crossbar is absolutely not a deal-breaker, particularly taking into consideration some of our various other favorite desks such as the Completely Jarvis additionally do not have one. This desk does have one if you desire, however it is a paid add-on (more on this later also).

The bar is seen by some as a hindrance, making it harder to place your legs easily listed below the desk. Others, on the other hand, locate that they provide added stability, commonly vital when workdesks are fully prolonged.

We have not review any kind of grievances of the stability of this desk, so we don’t think its something to truly be worried about, although if you really desired a desk with a bar after that we advise you have a look at the Varidesk ProDesk 60 Electric.

StandDesk does offer 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 one of the most essential aspects of these desks. Without a secure workdesk you’ll discover it tough to focus, which could cause you becoming much less curious about utilizing the desk at standing elevation. To get the most effective return on your investment, you’ll wish to enjoy when utilizing the desk.

Due To The Fact That the StandDesk Simple is the very first workdesk that I have tested with an optional cross support, I will certainly break down my security tests into two areas. Both examinations will consist of the common front to back shaking examination and an entrusted to ideal wobble. The very first will certainly be without the cross assistance and the second will certainly be with it. Just to note, StandDesk.co claims that the addition of the cross support can enhance security by approximately 15%. I have no idea exactly how they created that number.

Without Cross Assistance

Left to Right: The wobble test was a different circumstance. StandDesk Simple was the 2nd desk that I evaluated that tottered at the bottom with weight on the desktop. The first was the IKEA Bekant. By the time it got to 36″ the rocking activity misbehaved. Beyond this point it would affect your job.

With Cross Assistance

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

Delegated Right: Including the cross support to the StandDesk enhanced the wobble motion for reduced elevations. With the cross support the wobble activity really did not start till you got to 35″. By 39″ the wobble movement ended up being poor.

Keep in mind: It’s really vital with flexible standing desks to completely tighten up all hardware. If there is hardware that is not totally limited, the activity experienced when included standing height will be overemphasized. This is especially real with a workdesk structure that includes 32 bolts, 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 have to tighten our referral on the StandDesk Pro to much shorter users with narrower desktop computers, as the stability just isn’t there for a huge mass boosted high off the ground. American-made desks will be better fit to these applications, as well as for a fairly obvious factor. Practically all American-made bases are made in United States factories that are possessed by Swedish, Danish or German business that developed this industry, as well as their average people are a whole lot taller than the ordinary Eastern customer, so they began making longer-stroke training legs a long period of time earlier. As well as they have even more robot automation, laser-cutting equipment, as well as large experience making standing workdesk bases, obviously.

Yet if you’re not also tall, don’t have an inordinate quantity of hefty devices on your desktop computer, and also don’t need as well wide of a workdesk, the StandDesk Pro will certainly provide you excellent value.

All that might transform with Yu’s guaranteed StandDesk Pro 2.0 layout that he expects to release at some point in the future. Initially we were told we ‘d see it by June 2018. Greater than a year later on it has yet to emerge, and Yu states he’s had difficulty getting the product quality he requires out of several Chinese factories he’s attempted collaborating with. The brand-new design is allegedly going to be much easier to construct and have a heftier crossbar style, to name a few improvements. He claims the brand-new base will be offered in both a “T-Leg” and “C-Leg” setup, easing our issue regarding side-load stressing on the lifting columns.

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

In the meantime, a new $399 standing workdesk with excellent efficiency has been present through the new joint endeavor between US-based iMovR as well as China-based Eureka, the i1 electrical standing workdesk. While restricted in size and shade choices, it has taken the mantle away from StandDesk’s long-ago condition as the most effective standing desk under $400.

The StandDesk was created by millennials, is marketed directly at millennials, and has been gobbled up by millennials in excellent quantities. While it brings a ten-year service warranty (the longest of any Chinese-made base), in this instance it’s not necessarily a reliable indicator of the anticipated beneficial life of the lifting columns. But also for the price, the StandDesk is a fantastic lower-cost alternative to the UpLift, Jarvis and 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 intend to be, as well as a good value overall.

Lack of a Crossbar as criterion

Not having a supporting bar is definitely not a deal-breaker, particularly taking into consideration some of our other favorite workdesks such as the Fully Jarvis also don’t have one. In fact, this workdesk does have one if you want, but it is a paid add-on (a lot more on this later too).

Because gravity presses the discs in a human spinal column, I need to increase the desk greater in the early morning and lower it at night.

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

In spite of any issues I may have had with the mobile phone or the cookie-cutter layout, pretty much all of those concerns gotten rid of once I actually got down to using this point.

Although I really did not assume it was even possible, the StandDesk in some way takes care of to be much more steady than the Jarvis, both at sitting and also standing heights.

Points to Take into consideration

Despite its bankable attributes, this stand desk additionally has its own disadvantages. Because no single stand desk could capture all of the features that you may require, you may think about these in your decision-making.

Lack of a Bar as standard

Not having a supporting crossbar is definitely not a deal-breaker, specifically taking into consideration several of our other preferred workdesks such as the Totally Jarvis additionally don’t have one. This desk does have one if you desire, yet it is a paid add-on (much more on this later on as well).

The bar is seen by some as a limitation, making it tougher to position your legs pleasantly listed below the desk. Others, on the other hand, locate that they supply added stability, frequently essential when desks are completely prolonged.

We have not read any type of issues of the stability of this workdesk, so we do not believe its something to really be concerned concerning, although if you really wanted a workdesk with a bar after that we advise you take a look at the Varidesk ProDesk 60 Electric.

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

Stability

The stability of a standing desk is just one of one of the most important aspects of these desks. Without a stable desk you’ll locate it hard to concentrate, which might result in you coming to be much less curious about making use of the desk at standing height. To obtain the most effective return on your investment, you’ll want to be happy when making use of the desk.

Since the StandDesk Simple is the first desk that I have actually tested with an optional cross support, I will certainly break down my stability examinations right into 2 areas. Both tests will certainly consist of the typical front to back shaking examination and a left to best wobble. The very first will be without the cross support as well as the second will certainly be with it. Simply to keep in mind, StandDesk.co says that the enhancement of the cross support can boost stability by up to 15%. I have no suggestion how they created that number.

Without Cross Assistance

Left to Right: The wobble test was a various circumstance. 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 reached 36″ the shaking motion misbehaved. Yet factor it would certainly influence your job.

With Cross Support

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

Left to Right: Including the cross support to the StandDesk boosted the wobble movement for lower heights. With the cross support the wobble motion didn’t start till you reached 35″. By 39″ the wobble movement came to be poor.

Keep in mind: It’s extremely essential with flexible standing desks to totally tighten all hardware. If there is equipment that is not totally tight, the motion experienced when included standing elevation will be exaggerated. This is specifically true with a workdesk structure that consists of 32 screws, there are far a lot of factors at which the desk has an opportunity to move.

Final thought

Like all the Chinese bases we have actually examined in our labs, we need to narrow our recommendation on the StandDesk Pro to much shorter individuals with narrower desktop computers, as the security simply isn’t there for a huge mass elevated high off the ground. American-made workdesks will certainly be better fit to these applications, and also for a relatively evident factor. Virtually all American-made bases are made in United States factories that are owned by Swedish, Danish or German firms that developed this market, as well as their typical people are a great deal taller than the average Asian customer, so they started making longer-stroke training legs a very long time ago. As well as they have much more robot automation, laser-cutting equipment, and also large experience making standing desk bases, needless to say.

If you’re not also high, do not have an excessive quantity of heavy equipment on your desktop computer, as well as do not require too broad of a desk, the StandDesk Pro will certainly offer you excellent bang for your buck.

All that might change with Yu’s promised StandDesk Pro 2.0 style that he anticipates 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, and also Yu states he’s had trouble obtaining the product quality he requires out of numerous Chinese manufacturing facilities he’s attempted collaborating with. The new layout is apparently mosting likely to be a lot easier to construct as well as have a heftier bar style, to name a few improvements. He claims the brand-new base will certainly be provided in both a “T-Leg” and also “C-Leg” arrangement, minimizing our concern about side-load stressing on the lifting columns.

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

In the meantime, a brand-new $399 standing desk with excellent performance has actually been introduce 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 color options, it has actually taken the mantle away from StandDesk’s long-ago condition as the best standing workdesk under $400.

The StandDesk was produced by millennials, is marketed directly at millennials, and has been gobbled up by millennials in impressive volumes. While it lugs a ten-year service warranty (the lengthiest of any Chinese-made base), in this situation it’s not always a dependable indicator of the expected helpful life of the lifting columns. However, for the price, the StandDesk is a great lower-cost choice to the UpLift, Jarvis and also other Chinese-made desks. Despite its stability concerns this is a far much better product than the Autonomous SmartDesk or IKEA Bekant might ever before intend to be, and also a good value in general. It’s the mid-priced offering in the wide category of Chinese-made workdesks that is winning over consumers from both its less expensive and also more expensive peers.

StandDesk Construction, Arrangement, and also Gizmos

Developing the desk is pretty direct if you follow the thorough guidelines. All of the screws, bolts, washers, and springtime washers come in separate bags that are marked with their location: table top, frame, as well as spares. There’s an included hex device for securing every one of the screws into the structure, or, appear a hex bit into your power device– just be careful not to over-tighten.

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

Standdesk-Leg

The foot setting up likewise includes height-adjustable turning gears to support the front-to-back movement of the desk, which was very handy for the carpeted office floor. I’m likewise making use of a flooring mat to shield the carpeting from chair wheel damage at resting height, and push the chair back when I’m transitioning to standing elevation.

Standdesk-Foot

The luxurious controller was worth the financial investment. The buttons are all variable stress configured, meaning the backwards and forwards arrows will adjust the elevation by 1/10th of an inch with a single press, or constantly change the height by about 0.7 inches per second if you hold the switch for two seconds. The memory switches are similar in design: push to recall the elevation setup, or hold the button down for five seconds to store a new elevation value. I’m making use of switch 1 for my sitting position and also button 4 for my standing placement, which provides me 2 as well as 3 for anything I may require in the future.

Using my Standdesk

I have actually been utilizing the new desk for a few weeks and have documented my first impressions:

The electric motors are quiet yet can be heard in the following room over. It takes probably 25 secs for the desk to completely shift from resting to standing based on my presets.
I use an Ergotron side-by-side keep an eye on arm (particularly this LX version), creating the desk to obtain a little rough when I change my weight against the key-board. In knowledge, I should have acquired the bar upgrade for my desk after establishing the weight of my monitors. If you plan to do a dual screen configuration, get the crossbar.

Since gravity presses the discs in a human spine, I require to increase the desk higher in the early morning and reduced it in the evening.

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

Performance

Regardless of any type of problems I may have had with the mobile or the cookie-cutter design, pretty much all of those worries washed away when I in fact got down to utilizing this thing.

Although I really did not think it was also possible, the StandDesk somehow handles to be even more steady than the Jarvis, both at sitting and standing heights. Many days I like to run my Jarvis at max elevation while pushed against my wall; not necessarily since it’s that wobbly, yet even if I desire as much security as I can obtain.

The StandDesk one ups the gambit also further, confirming to be equally as constant by itself at standing elevation as the Jarvis is with wall support. This is all without the firm’s crossbar enhancement, which they declare includes much more security when purchased as a part of the package deal.When it pertains to weight resistance, the StandDesk shares yet even more stats with the Jarvis, being rated for up to 350 lbs of weight capability.

I’ve been making use of the desk for regarding three weeks now for daily work (and adhering to standing workdesk finest methods), whether it’s inputting out reviews such as this one from our desktop or a laptop every now and then. The desk holds up well versus non-coastered drinks, and also the coating in addition to the desk still really feels equally as smooth as well as glossy as the day I opened it in spite of days of sweaty wrists wresting on it as well as numerous clean downs with a dustcloth.

Though I never ever intentionally attempt to damage any type of workdesks as well hard, during some lighter tests (tossing a collection of keys onto it from a distance, for instance), it still held up without way too many noticeable indications of damages.

Last but not least, when I determined the sound result of the desk while it increased from a sitting position to standing and also back again, it was without a doubt the quietest we’ve examined yet. I can barely get it to make greater than about 9.5 dB of sound, so if your largest worry is the whirr of your motor, this is certainly the one for you.

Customer care

Now, typically I do not consist of much concerning the customer care support of any offered firm, just since I really feel that in general if an item works the method its expected to, I should not ever before have a reason to call them in the first place. And while I want I could claim that was the case throughout my experience with StandDesk, I just can’t finish this testimonial without discussing the countless, apparently limitless issues I experienced trying to get my workdesk created.

For starters, the desk I was sent out really did not have any memory mobile included originally, which implied I had no way of actually managing the up/down feature on the desk itself. I got in touch with StandDesk regarding this issue, that returned to me around a day later on with an apology as well as a pledge that a brand-new one would be shipped quickly.

Standdesk evaluation handset

The resource of all our issues …
About 4 days later on a phone arrived in the mail. The mobile phone initially turned on, yet it had not been long before I observed that none of the programmable switches worked, nor did the down button, but also for some factor the “memory” switch managed the down feature simply fine. I spoke to the business once again, and also they apologized for the mixup as well as said they would certainly have a brand-new panel and control box bent on me within the week.

Over two weeks later my new panel and also control box arrived. Once I installed them both the desk finally started functioning the method it was meant to, however not after virtually a month of waiting and also to and fro with a company that couldn’t bear in mind to ship a core part of their product inside the same box from the start.

Things to Think about

In spite of its bankable functions, this stand up workdesk likewise has its very own drawbacks. Given that no singular stand workdesk might catch all of the features that you may need, you may take into consideration these in your decision-making.

Lack of a Bar as standard

Not having a stabilizing crossbar is certainly not a deal-breaker, especially taking into consideration some of our various other preferred workdesks such as the Completely Jarvis additionally don’t have one. In fact, 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 hindrance, making it harder to place your legs comfortably below the desk. Others, on the other hand, find that they give included stability, often crucial when desks are totally expanded.

We have not read any kind of problems of the stability of this desk, so we do not believe its something to really be worried concerning, although if you actually wanted a workdesk with a crossbar then we suggest you take a look at the Varidesk ProDesk 60 Electric.

Conversely, StandDesk does provide a different add-on crossbar that you can contribute to the desk on your own, just for an added $49.95.

Security

The stability of a standing workdesk is one of one of the most essential aspects of these workdesks. Without a secure desk you’ll discover it hard to focus, which could result in you coming to be much less thinking about making use of the desk at standing elevation. To obtain the most effective return on your financial investment, you’ll wish to more than happy when making use of the desk.

Due To The Fact That the StandDesk Simple is the initial workdesk that I have actually tested with an optional cross assistance, I will break down my stability examinations right into 2 sections. Both tests will include the normal front to back rocking test and a delegated best wobble. The first will certainly be without the cross assistance and the second will be with it. Just to note, StandDesk.co claims that the addition of the cross support can raise security by approximately 15%. I have no idea exactly how they generated that number.

Without Cross Assistance

Left to Right: The wobble examination was a various scenario. StandDesk Simple was the second desk that I tested that tottered near the bottom with weight on the desktop. The very first was the IKEA Bekant. By the time it reached 36″ the rocking movement was bad. Yet point it would influence your work.

With Cross Assistance

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

Left to Right: Including the cross support to the StandDesk improved the wobble motion for reduced elevations. With the cross support the wobble motion really did not start till you reached 35″. By 39″ the wobble motion came to be poor.

Keep in mind: It’s very essential with flexible standing workdesks to totally tighten up all equipment. If there is equipment that is not totally limited, the activity experienced when included standing elevation will certainly be exaggerated. This is especially true with a desk framework that includes 32 bolts, there are far too many points at which the desk has an opportunity to move.

Verdict

Like all the Chinese bases we’ve examined in our laboratories, we have to tighten our referral on the StandDesk Pro to much shorter users with narrower desktop computers, as the security just isn’t there for a large mass elevated high off the ground. American-made desks will certainly be much better matched to these applications, as well as for a fairly obvious reason. Virtually all American-made bases are made in US factories that are owned by Swedish, Danish or German business that developed this sector, and their ordinary citizens are a whole lot taller than the typical Asian customer, so they started making longer-stroke lifting legs a very long time back. As well as they have even more robot automation, laser-cutting equipment, and sheer experience making standing workdesk bases, needless to say.

If you’re not also high, do not have an excessive quantity of hefty devices on your desktop computer, and also don’t require too vast of a desk, the StandDesk Pro will give you great bang for your dollar.

All that might alter with Yu’s assured StandDesk Pro 2.0 layout that he expects to release at some point in the future. Originally we were told we would certainly see it by June 2018. Greater than a year later it has yet to emerge, and Yu states he’s had trouble getting the item top quality he needs out of a number of Chinese manufacturing facilities he’s attempted dealing with. The brand-new style is allegedly mosting likely to be a lot easier to construct and also have a heftier crossbar layout, to name a few improvements. He states the new base will certainly be supplied in both a “T-Leg” and also “C-Leg” setup, reducing our problem regarding side-load worrying on the lifting columns.

If this new base ever before concerns market we’ll update you here. We’re not holding our breath any type of longer as the most recent news on the firm is that Yu shut the tiny Los Angeles office as well as has relocated it to join with all its various other workers in southeast Asia.

In the meantime, a new $399 standing desk with outstanding efficiency has been introduce through the new joint venture between US-based iMovR and also China-based Eureka, the i1 electrical standing desk. While limited in size and also shade choices, it has taken the mantle far from StandDesk’s long-ago status as the very best standing workdesk under $400.
