The StandDesk was created by millennials, is marketed directly at millennials, and also has actually been gobbled up by millennials in excellent volumes. While it carries a ten-year warranty (the lengthiest of any type of Chinese-made base), in this instance it’s not necessarily a dependable sign of the expected helpful life of the training columns. For the rate, the StandDesk is a great lower-cost alternative to the UpLift, Jarvis and various other Chinese-made workdesks. Regardless of its stability issues this is a much much better item than the Autonomous SmartDesk or IKEA Bekant might ever want to be, as well as a good value generally. It’s the mid-priced offering in the broad classification of Chinese-made workdesks that is gaining clients from both its less expensive as well as pricier peers.

StandDesk Building, Configuration, as well as Devices

Developing the desk is rather simple if you follow the thorough instructions. Every one of the screws, bolts, washing machines, and also springtime washers come in separate bags that are noted with their destination: tabletop, frame, as well as spares. There’s an included hex device for securing every one of the screws into the framework, or, pop in a hex bit right into your power device– just be careful not to over-tighten.

Every one of the components have a high quality finish to them with rounded edges to stay clear of cut hands. Below is a shot of all the bolts that are attached to the leg assembly– it’s not going anywhere!

Standdesk-Leg

The foot setting up likewise consists of height-adjustable turning equipments to maintain the front-to-back movement of the desk, which was really helpful for the carpeted office flooring. I’m additionally utilizing a floor mat to safeguard the carpeting from chair wheel damage at resting elevation, and press the chair back when I’m transitioning to standing elevation.

Standdesk-Foot

The deluxe controller deserved the investment. The buttons are all variable stress set, indicating the up and down arrows will change the elevation by 1/10th of an inch with a solitary press, or constantly change the height by around 0.7 inches per second if you hold the switch for 2 seconds. The memory buttons are comparable in layout: push to recall the height setting, or hold the button down for 5 secs to save a new elevation value. I’m making use of button 1 for my sitting placement and button 4 for my standing placement, which offers me 2 and 3 for anything I might need in the future.

Standdesk-Memory-unit

Utilizing my Standdesk

I have actually been using the brand-new desk for a couple of weeks and also have listed my first perceptions:

The motors are quiet but can be listened to in the following room over. It takes probably 25 seconds for the desk to totally change from sitting to standing based upon my presets.
I make use of an Ergotron side-by-side monitor arm (particularly this LX model), causing the desk to get a little rough when I shift my weight versus the key-board. In hindsight, I should have bought the crossbar upgrade for my desk after figuring out the weight of my screens. If you plan to do a double screen configuration, get the bar.

Since gravity presses the discs in a human spine, I require to elevate the desk higher in the morning and also reduced it at night.

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

Efficiency

Despite any type of problems I may have had with the mobile or the cookie-cutter style, practically every one of those issues washed away when I in fact got down to utilizing this thing.

I really did not assume it was also feasible, the StandDesk in some way takes care of to be also more stable than the Jarvis, both at resting as well as standing heights. A lot of days I like to run my Jarvis at max elevation while pressed against my wall; not necessarily due to the fact that it’s that wobbly, however just because I want as much security as I can obtain.

The StandDesk one ups the gambit also additionally, showing to be just as stable on its own at standing elevation as the Jarvis is with wall support. This is all without the business’s crossbar enhancement, which they assert includes even more stability when bought as a part of the bundle deal.When it concerns weight tolerance, the StandDesk shares yet a lot more statistics with the Jarvis, being ranked for up to 350 lbs of weight capability.

I’ve been using the desk for about 3 weeks now for everyday job (as well as complying with standing desk ideal practices), whether it’s typing out testimonials similar to this one from our desktop computer or a laptop every now and then. The desk stands up well against non-coastered drinks, and the surface in addition to the desk still feels equally as smooth as well as slick as the day I opened it despite days of sweaty wrists wresting on it as well as several clean downs with a dustcloth.

Though I never ever deliberately attempt to damage any kind of desks as well hard, during some lighter tests (throwing a collection of tricks onto it from a range, for example), it still held up without a lot of noticeable indications of damages.

When I determined the sound result of the desk while it increased from a sitting setting to standing and back once more, it was by far the quietest we have actually checked. I can hardly get it to make more than about 9.5 dB of sound, so if your biggest issue is the whirr of your electric motor, this is most definitely the one for you.

Customer care

Now, typically I do not consist of much concerning the customer care support of any type of given business, only because I feel that in general if an item functions 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 state that held true throughout my experience with StandDesk, I merely can’t complete this review without mentioning the various, seemingly unlimited troubles I experienced attempting to get my desk put together.

For beginners, the desk I was sent didn’t have any memory phone consisted of originally, which indicated I had no chance of really regulating the up/down function on the desk itself. I spoke to StandDesk about this problem, who returned to me around a day later with an apology and also an assurance that a new one would be shipped out soon.

Standdesk review handset

The source of all our troubles …
Regarding 4 days later on a handset showed up in the mail. The handset originally activated, yet it wasn’t long prior to I saw that none of the programmable buttons functioned, nor did the down switch, but also for some reason the “memory” switch handled the down feature simply fine. I got in touch with the company once again, and also they apologized for the mixup and said they would certainly have a brand-new panel and also control box bent on me within the week.

Over two weeks later on my new panel as well as control box showed up. When I installed them both the desk finally began functioning the way it was meant to, but not after nearly a month of waiting as well as back and forth with a company that couldn’t remember to deliver a core element of their product inside the very same box from the start.

Points to Think about

Despite its bankable attributes, this stand workdesk additionally has its very own downsides. Since no single stand workdesk could catch all of the attributes that you might require, you may take into consideration these in your decision-making.

Absence of a Bar as requirement

Not having a maintaining crossbar is definitely not a deal-breaker, especially thinking about a few of our other preferred workdesks such as the Totally Jarvis also don’t have one. This desk does have one if you desire, however it is a paid add-on (more on this later also).

The crossbar is seen by some as an obstacle, making it tougher to put your legs conveniently listed below the desk. Others, on the other hand, locate that they provide included security, frequently vital when desks are completely expanded.

We have not check out any type of complaints of the stability of this desk, so we do not believe its something to really be concerned concerning, although if you truly desired a workdesk with a bar then we suggest you have a look at the Varidesk ProDesk 60 Electric.

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

Security

The security of a standing workdesk is just one of the most important elements of these desks. Without a stable workdesk you’ll discover it hard to focus, which might lead to you coming to be much less thinking about making use of the desk at standing height. To obtain the most effective return on your financial investment, you’ll intend to more than happy when using the desk.

Since the StandDesk Simple is the first workdesk that I have actually checked with an optional cross assistance, I will certainly break down my security tests right into 2 sections. Both examinations will consist of the common front to back rocking examination and a left to best wobble. The very first will certainly be without the cross assistance as well as the secondly will be with it. Just to note, StandDesk.co says that the addition of the cross support can raise stability by as much as 15%. I have no suggestion how they created that number.

Without Cross Support

Left to Right: The wobble examination was a different circumstance. StandDesk Simple was the 2nd workdesk that I checked that tottered at the bottom with weight on the desktop computer. The very first was the IKEA Bekant. By the time it got to 36″ the rocking movement misbehaved. Beyond this point it would certainly affect your job.

With Cross Support

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

Left to Right: Including the cross assistance to the StandDesk boosted the wobble movement for lower elevations. With the cross assistance the wobble motion really did not start up until you got to 35″. By 39″ the wobble motion came to be poor.

Keep in mind: It’s really important with flexible standing workdesks to completely tighten all hardware. If there is equipment that is not entirely limited, the activity experienced when encompassed standing elevation will certainly be exaggerated. This is particularly real with a desk framework that includes 32 screws, there are much way too many factors at which the desk has an opportunity to relocate.

Verdict

Like all the Chinese bases we have actually tested in our labs, we need to tighten our referral on the StandDesk Pro to much shorter customers with narrower desktops, as the stability just isn’t there for a big mass raised high off the ground. American-made desks will certainly be better suited to these applications, as well as for a fairly apparent factor. Essentially all American-made bases are made in US manufacturing facilities that are had by Swedish, Danish or German firms that designed this sector, as well as their ordinary citizens are a great deal taller than the ordinary Asian customer, so they began making longer-stroke lifting legs a long time ago. And they have even more robotic automation, laser-cutting equipment, as well as sheer experience making standing workdesk bases, obviously.

If you’re not too tall, don’t have an excessive quantity of heavy equipment on your desktop, and don’t need also wide of a workdesk, the StandDesk Pro will offer you excellent bang for your buck.

All that might transform with Yu’s guaranteed StandDesk Pro 2.0 design that he expects to release at some time in the future. Initially we were told we would certainly see it by June 2018. Greater than a year later on it has yet to appear, as well as Yu states he’s had problem getting the product top quality he needs out of a number of Chinese manufacturing facilities he’s tried working with. The new style is supposedly going to be a lot easier to assemble and also have a heftier crossbar style, among other refinements. He claims the new base will certainly be used in both a “T-Leg” as well as “C-Leg” configuration, alleviating our worry about side-load worrying on the training columns.

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

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

The StandDesk was produced by millennials, is marketed directly at millennials, and has actually been demolished by millennials in impressive quantities. While it carries a ten-year warranty (the lengthiest of any type of Chinese-made base), in this case it’s not necessarily a dependable sign of the anticipated helpful life of the training columns. However, for the price, the StandDesk is a fantastic lower-cost alternative to the UpLift, Jarvis as well as various other Chinese-made workdesks. Despite its stability issues this is a far much better product than the Autonomous SmartDesk or IKEA Bekant could ever before wish to be, and also a good value overall. It’s the mid-priced offering in the broad classification of Chinese-made desks that is swaying consumers from both its more affordable as well as costlier peers.

StandDesk Construction, Arrangement, and Gizmos

Constructing the desk is pretty easy if you adhere to the thorough instructions. Every one of the screws, bolts, washing machines, and springtime washers come in separate bags that are noted with their location: table top, framework, as well as spares. There’s an included hex device for attaching all of the screws into the framework, or, appear a hex bit right into your power device– just beware not to over-tighten.

Every one of the components have an excellent quality coating 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 setting up– it’s not going anywhere!

Standdesk-Leg

The foot assembly likewise includes height-adjustable rotation equipments to maintain the front-to-back activity of the desk, which was extremely practical for the carpeted home office flooring. I’m likewise utilizing a floor mat to shield the carpeting from chair wheel damages at resting height, and also push the chair when I’m transitioning to standing elevation.

Standdesk-Foot

The luxurious controller deserved the financial investment. The buttons are all variable pressure programmed, implying the up and down arrows will certainly readjust the elevation by 1/10th of an inch with a single press, or continuously readjust the elevation by around 0.7 inches per 2nd if you hold the switch for two seconds. The memory buttons are similar in design: press to recall the elevation setup, or hold the button down for five secs to store a new height value.

I make use of an Ergotron side-by-side keep track of arm (specifically this LX version), causing the desk to obtain a little rough when I move my weight versus the keyboard. In hindsight, I should have acquired the bar upgrade for my workdesk after figuring out the weight of my displays. If you plan to do a double screen arrangement, obtain the crossbar.

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

An anti-fatigue floor covering is absolutely vital for long duration standing. I purchased an Octagonal mat from SmartCells, using rubber “cells” that are imagined listed below.

Performance

Regardless of any issues I might have had with the phone or the cookie-cutter style, virtually all of those problems gotten rid of once I really came down to utilizing this thing.

Although I really did not think it was also feasible, the StandDesk in some way handles to be even more stable 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 surface; not necessarily due to the fact that it’s that wobbly, yet just because I want as much stability as I can get.

The StandDesk one ups the gambit also additionally, confirming to be equally as steady by itself at standing height as the Jarvis is with wall support. This is all without the business’s bar addition, which they assert includes even more stability when bought as a part of the bundle deal.When it concerns weight tolerance, the StandDesk shares yet much more statistics with the Jarvis, being ranked for approximately 350 pounds of weight capability.

As well as while I desire I might claim that was the case throughout my experience with StandDesk, I simply can’t complete this evaluation without pointing out the countless, apparently countless problems I ran into attempting to get my desk assembled.

For beginners, the desk I was sent didn’t have any memory handset included initially, which suggested I had no chance of in fact controlling the up/down feature on the desk itself. I contacted StandDesk concerning this problem, who got back to me around a day later on with an apology and also a promise that a new one would be shipped shortly.

This is specifically true with a workdesk structure that includes 32 bolts, there are far a lot of factors at which the desk has a chance to move.

Verdict

Like all the Chinese bases we have actually evaluated in our laboratories, we need to tighten our referral on the StandDesk Pro to shorter users with narrower desktop computers, as the stability simply isn’t there for a big mass raised high off the ground. American-made desks will certainly be much better matched to these applications, as well as for a rather evident reason. Practically all American-made bases are made in United States factories that are had by Swedish, Danish or German firms that designed this market, and their average citizens are a lot taller than the average Oriental customer, so they started making longer-stroke lifting legs a long time ago. And they have much more robot automation, laser-cutting tools, as well as large experience making standing desk bases, needless to say.

If you’re not also high, don’t have an extreme quantity of hefty devices on your desktop, as well as do not need also wide of a workdesk, the StandDesk Pro will provide you good bang for your dollar.

All that may change with Yu’s promised StandDesk Pro 2.0 style that he anticipates to launch sometime in the future. Originally we were informed we ‘d see it by June 2018. More than a year later it has yet to emerge, and Yu states he’s had difficulty getting the product quality he requires out of several Chinese manufacturing facilities he’s tried working with. The brand-new layout is allegedly mosting likely to be a lot easier to construct and have a heftier crossbar style, to name a few refinements. He claims the brand-new base will certainly be used in both a “T-Leg” as well as “C-Leg” setup, alleviating our worry concerning side-load worrying 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 kind of longer as the most current information on the firm is that Yu shut the small Los Angeles office as well as has transferred it to join with all its other staff members in southeast Asia.

In the meantime, a brand-new $399 standing workdesk with remarkable performance has been present with the brand-new joint endeavor between US-based iMovR and China-based Eureka, the i1 electric standing desk. While limited in size and also color options, it has actually taken the mantle far from StandDesk’s long-ago standing as the most effective standing desk under $400.

The StandDesk was created by millennials, is marketed directly at millennials, and also has actually been gobbled up by millennials in outstanding volumes. While it lugs a ten-year service warranty (the lengthiest of any Chinese-made base), in this instance it’s not always a trustworthy sign of the anticipated valuable life of the training columns. For the price, the StandDesk is a great lower-cost choice to the UpLift, Jarvis and various other Chinese-made desks. Regardless of its stability issues this is a far much better product than the Autonomous SmartDesk or IKEA Bekant can ever intend to be, and also a good value in general. It’s the mid-priced offering in the wide classification of Chinese-made workdesks that is winning over customers from both its less expensive and more expensive peers.

StandDesk Building, Configuration, and Gizmos

Constructing the desk is pretty simple if you follow the comprehensive guidelines. Every one of the screws, screws, washing machines, as well as springtime washing machines come in separate bags that are marked with their location: table top, framework, and spares. There’s an included hex tool for fastening every one of the screws into the structure, or, appear a hex little bit into your power device– just take care not to over-tighten.

Every one of the components have a premium quality finish to them with rounded edges 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 assembly likewise consists of height-adjustable rotation gears to support the front-to-back motion of the desk, which was very helpful for the carpeted office flooring. I’m additionally utilizing a floor mat to protect the carpet from chair wheel damage at sitting elevation, as well as push the chair when I’m transitioning to standing elevation.

Standdesk-Foot

The luxurious controller was worth the investment. The switches are all variable stress set, indicating the backwards and forwards arrowheads will change the elevation by 1/10th of an inch with a single press, or continuously readjust the elevation by around 0.7 inches per 2nd if you hold the button for two seconds. The memory buttons are similar in design: push to recall the height setup, or hold the button down for 5 seconds to keep a brand-new elevation worth. I’m using switch 1 for my resting position as well as button 4 for my standing setting, which offers me 2 and 3 for anything I may need in the future.

Standdesk-Memory-unit

Utilizing my Standdesk

I have actually been making use of the new desk for a couple of weeks as well as have actually documented my first perceptions:

The motors are quiet but can be heard in the following room over. It takes maybe 25 seconds for the desk to completely change from resting to standing based on my presets.
I utilize an Ergotron side-by-side monitor arm (particularly this LX design), creating the desk to get a little rocky when I change my weight versus the keyboard. In knowledge, I should have purchased the bar upgrade for my desk after establishing the weight of my displays. If you prepare to do a dual display configuration, obtain the crossbar.

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

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

Performance

In spite of any kind of troubles I might have had with the mobile or the cookie-cutter style, practically every one of those concerns gotten rid of as soon as I actually got down to utilizing this thing.

Although I really did not assume it was even possible, the StandDesk somehow takes care of to be much more stable than the Jarvis, both at resting and standing heights. Many days I like to run my Jarvis at max height while pushed against my wall surface; not necessarily because it’s that wobbly, yet just because I want as much security as I can get.

The StandDesk one ups the gambit even further, confirming to be equally as consistent by itself at standing height as the Jarvis is with wall support. This is all without the company’s bar addition, which they assert adds a lot more stability when purchased as a part of the package deal.When it pertains to weight resistance, the StandDesk shares yet even more statistics with the Jarvis, being rated for approximately 350 pounds of weight capacity.

I have actually been utilizing the desk for about three weeks currently for day-to-day work (as well as following standing desk ideal methods), whether it’s inputting out evaluations similar to this one from our desktop or a laptop every now and then. The desk stands up well against non-coastered drinks, as well as the coating in addition to the desk still really feels equally as smooth and glossy as the day I opened it regardless of days of sweaty wrists wresting on it and also several clean downs with a rag.

I never ever deliberately try to dent any type of workdesks also hard, throughout some lighter tests (throwing a set of secrets onto it from a range, for example), it still held up without as well many noticeable indicators of damage.

When I determined the sound result of the workdesk while it increased from a resting position to standing and also back once again, it was by much the quietest we’ve tested. I could hardly get it to make more than about 9.5 dB of sound, so if your largest problem is the whirr of your motor, this is certainly the one for you.

Customer Service

Currently, typically I don’t include much about the customer support support of any provided company, only because I feel that generally if a product works the way its meant to, I should not ever before have a factor to call them to begin with. As well as while I desire I might claim that held true during my experience with StandDesk, I just can’t finish this evaluation without discussing the various, relatively endless troubles I came across trying to obtain my workdesk put together.

For starters, the desk I was sent out didn’t have any kind of memory handset included initially, which implied I had no chance of actually controlling the up/down feature on the desk itself. I called StandDesk regarding this issue, who got back to me around a day later with an apology and an assurance that a brand-new one would be shipped shortly.

Standdesk review handset

The source of all our troubles …
Regarding 4 days later a handset arrived in the mail. The mobile originally activated, however it had not been long prior to I discovered that none of the programmable switches worked, nor did the down switch, but for some factor the “memory” switch handled the down function just fine. I contacted the business once more, and they excused the mixup and also claimed they would certainly have a brand-new panel and control box bent on me within the week.

Over two weeks later on my brand-new panel and also control box got here. Once I installed them both the desk finally started working the means it was expected to, yet not after virtually a month of waiting and also back and forth with a firm that couldn’t remember to deliver a core component of their product inside the exact same box from the outset.

Things to Consider

Despite its bankable features, this stand desk additionally has its very own downsides. Because no particular stand workdesk can record every one of the attributes that you might need, you might think about these in your decision-making.

Lack of a Bar as criterion

Not having a maintaining crossbar is definitely not a deal-breaker, especially considering several of our other favorite desks such as the Fully Jarvis also do not have one. As a matter of fact, this desk does have one if you want, however it is a paid add-on (extra on this later also).

The bar is seen by some as a hindrance, making it more challenging to put your legs comfortably listed below the desk. Others, on the other hand, find that they give included stability, frequently essential when workdesks are totally extended.

We have not review any kind of complaints of the security of this workdesk, so we don’t assume its something to really be worried concerning, although if you really desired a desk with a crossbar after that we recommend you have a look at the Varidesk ProDesk 60 Electric.

StandDesk does offer a separate add-on crossbar that you can include to the desk on your own, simply for an added $49.95.

Security

The security of a standing workdesk is just one of one of the most important aspects of these desks. Without a secure workdesk you’ll locate it tough to concentrate, which could cause you coming to be much less interested in making use of the desk at standing height. To get the most effective return on your financial investment, you’ll want to enjoy when making use of the desk.

Since the StandDesk Simple is the initial desk that I have actually tested with an optional cross assistance, I will break down my stability tests right into two sections. Both tests will consist of the typical front to back shaking examination and a delegated best wobble. The initial will lack the cross assistance as well as the secondly will certainly be with it. Just to keep in mind, StandDesk.co claims that the enhancement of the cross assistance can boost security by approximately 15%. I have no suggestion just how they developed 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 near the bottom with weight on the desktop computer. The initial was the IKEA Bekant. By the time it reached 36″ the shaking activity was bad. Beyond this factor it would certainly impact your job.

With Cross Assistance

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

Left to Right: Adding the cross support to the StandDesk improved the wobble movement for reduced elevations. With the cross assistance the wobble activity really did not begin until you reached 35″. By 39″ the wobble activity ended up being poor.

Keep in mind: It’s really crucial with adjustable standing desks to fully tighten up all hardware. If there is hardware that is not entirely limited, the motion experienced when reached standing elevation will certainly be exaggerated. This is particularly real with a workdesk structure that includes 32 screws, there are far a lot of points at which the desk has a possibility 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 much shorter users with narrower desktops, as the security just isn’t there for a huge mass boosted high off the ground. American-made desks will be better matched to these applications, and for a relatively apparent factor. Basically all American-made bases are made in US manufacturing facilities that are possessed by Swedish, Danish or German business that designed this sector, as well as their average people are a whole lot taller than the typical Asian consumer, so they began making longer-stroke training legs a long time ago. And they have much more robotic automation, laser-cutting devices, as well as large experience making standing workdesk bases, obviously.

If you’re not also high, don’t have an inordinate amount of heavy equipment on your desktop, and also do not require as well broad of a desk, the StandDesk Pro will certainly give you good bang for your buck.

All that may transform with Yu’s promised StandDesk Pro 2.0 layout that he expects to launch at some time in the future. Originally we were informed we would certainly see it by June 2018. More than a year later on it has yet to emerge, as well as Yu states he’s had difficulty obtaining the item high quality he requires out of several Chinese factories he’s tried dealing with. The brand-new layout is apparently going to be a lot easier to construct and have a heftier bar style, among other improvements. He says the brand-new base will be provided in both a “T-Leg” and also “C-Leg” arrangement, relieving our concern concerning side-load emphasizing on the training columns.

If this brand-new base ever before pertains to market we’ll upgrade you here. We’re not holding our breath any longer as the most recent information on the firm is that Yu shut the tiny Los Angeles workplace and also has actually moved it to join with all its various other workers in southeast Asia.

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