The StandDesk was created by millennials, is marketed right at millennials, as well as has been demolished by millennials in impressive volumes. While it brings a ten-year warranty (the lengthiest of any kind of Chinese-made base), in this instance it’s not necessarily a trustworthy indicator of the expected useful life of the lifting columns. But for the cost, the StandDesk is a wonderful lower-cost choice to the UpLift, Jarvis and other Chinese-made workdesks. In spite of its stability concerns this is a far much better item than the Autonomous SmartDesk or IKEA Bekant can ever before intend to be, and a good value on the whole. 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 pricier peers.

StandDesk Building, Configuration, as well as Devices

Developing the desk is quite easy if you adhere to the in-depth instructions. Every one of the screws, screws, washing machines, and spring washing machines can be found in different bags that are marked with their location: tabletop, structure, and spares. There’s a consisted of hex device for attaching every one of the screws into the frame, or, appear a hex little bit right into your power tool– just beware not to over-tighten.

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

Standdesk-Leg

The foot setting up also consists of height-adjustable turning equipments to maintain the front-to-back movement of the desk, which was extremely handy for the carpeted office flooring. I’m likewise utilizing a flooring mat to safeguard the carpet from chair wheel damage at sitting elevation, as well as press the chair back when I’m transitioning to standing height.

Standdesk-Foot

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

Utilizing my Standdesk

I’ve been using the new workdesk for a couple of weeks and also have listed my initial perceptions:

The motors are quiet but can be listened to in the next area over. It takes perhaps 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 keep an eye on arm (especially this LX design), triggering the desk to get a little rough when I shift my weight versus the keyboard. In hindsight, I ought to have bought the crossbar upgrade for my workdesk after determining the weight of my displays. If you prepare to do a double screen arrangement, get the bar.

Because gravity compresses the discs in a human spine, I require to increase the desk greater in the early morning and also reduced it at night.

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

Efficiency

Regardless of any kind of troubles I may have had with the phone or the cookie-cutter layout, pretty much all of those problems removed once I actually got down to utilizing this point.

Although I didn’t believe it was even feasible, the StandDesk in some way takes care of to be much more secure than the Jarvis, both at sitting and standing elevations. A lot of days I like to run my Jarvis at max elevation while pressed against my wall; not necessarily because it’s that unsteady, however just because I want as much stability as I can obtain.

The StandDesk one ups the gambit also additionally, confirming to be equally as steady on its own at standing height as the Jarvis is with wall support. This is all without the company’s crossbar addition, which they claim includes even more stability when purchased as a part of the plan deal.When it concerns weight tolerance, the StandDesk shares yet much more stats with the Jarvis, being ranked for approximately 350 pounds of weight capacity.

I’ve been using the desk for regarding 3 weeks now for daily job (and also following standing workdesk best methods), whether it’s inputting out evaluations similar to this one from our desktop computer or a laptop computer from time to time. The desk holds up well versus non-coastered drinks, and also the finish on top of the desk still really feels equally as smooth and also slick as the day I opened it regardless of days of sweaty wrists wresting on it and several clean downs with a dustcloth.

I never ever deliberately attempt to dent any kind of desks too hard, during some lighter examinations (throwing a collection of keys onto it from a distance, for example), it still held up without also lots of noticeable signs of damage.

Last but not least, when I measured the sound result of the desk while it increased from a sitting position to standing and back again, it was by far the quietest we’ve tested yet. I could hardly get it to make more than concerning 9.5 dB of sound, so if your largest worry is the whirr of your electric motor, this is most definitely the one for you.

Customer support

Now, typically I don’t include much concerning the client service support of any type of offered business, just due to the fact that I feel that as a whole if a product functions the method its intended to, I shouldn’t ever before have a reason to call them in the first place. As well as while I wish I can claim that held true throughout my experience with StandDesk, I just can not finish this evaluation without mentioning the numerous, seemingly unlimited problems I came across trying to get my workdesk assembled.

For starters, the desk I was sent out really did not have any kind of memory mobile phone consisted of originally, which indicated I had no other way of in fact controlling the up/down function on the desk itself. I got in touch with StandDesk about this concern, who returned to me around a day later on with an apology as well as a promise that a new one would certainly be shipped out soon.

Standdesk testimonial handset

The resource of all our troubles …
About four days later a mobile phone arrived in the mail. The handset at first switched on, but it wasn’t long before I noticed that none of the programmable switches worked, nor did the down button, but also for some factor the “memory” switch dealt with the down function simply great. I contacted the company once more, and also they apologized for the mixup and also stated 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 arrived. Once I mounted them both the desk lastly began functioning the way it was meant to, yet not after virtually a month of waiting and also back and forth with a company that couldn’t bear in mind to ship a core element of their product inside the same box from the get-go.

Points to Take into consideration

Despite its bankable features, this stand up desk also has its own drawbacks. Since no singular stand workdesk could catch every one of the features that you might need, you might consider these in your decision-making.

Absence of a Bar as criterion

Not having a stabilizing crossbar is absolutely not a deal-breaker, specifically considering several of our various other preferred workdesks such as the Completely Jarvis additionally don’t have one. As a matter of fact, this workdesk does have one if you desire, but it is a paid add-on (more on this later also).

The crossbar is seen by some as a limitation, making it harder to position your legs comfortably listed below the desk. Others, on the other hand, discover that they give included stability, usually vital when desks are fully prolonged.

We have not read any type of grievances of the stability of this workdesk, so we do not think its something to actually be worried regarding, although if you actually desired a desk with a bar then 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 workdesk on your own, just for an additional $49.95.

Stability

The security of a standing workdesk is one of the most crucial facets of these workdesks. Without a stable workdesk you’ll find it hard to concentrate, which could lead to you ending up being less curious about making use of the desk at standing elevation. To get the most effective return on your financial investment, you’ll wish to be happy when utilizing the desk.

Since the StandDesk Simple is the very first desk that I have actually evaluated with an optional cross support, I will certainly break down my stability examinations right into two areas. Both examinations will include the typical front to back rocking examination and an entrusted to appropriate wobble. The first will certainly lack the cross assistance and also the second will be with it. Simply to keep in mind, StandDesk.co states that the addition of the cross assistance can raise stability by up to 15%. I have no idea exactly how they created that number.

Without Cross Assistance

Left to Right: The wobble test was a different situation. StandDesk Simple was the second desk that I examined that wobbled near the bottom with weight on the desktop. The initial was the IKEA Bekant. By the time it got to 36″ the shaking motion was bad. Beyond this factor it would impact your work.

With Cross Assistance

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

Entrusted to Right: Adding the cross assistance to the StandDesk boosted the wobble motion for lower elevations. With the cross support the wobble movement didn’t start up until you got to 35″. By 39″ the wobble activity came to be poor.

Keep in mind: It’s very crucial with flexible standing workdesks to completely tighten up all hardware. If there is hardware that is not completely limited, the motion experienced when included standing elevation will certainly be exaggerated. This is especially true with a workdesk structure that consists of 32 screws, there are far too many points at which the desk has an opportunity to move.

Conclusion

Like all the Chinese bases we’ve tested in our laboratories, we have to tighten our recommendation on the StandDesk Pro to shorter users with narrower desktop computers, as the security just isn’t there for a large mass raised high off the ground. American-made workdesks will be much better suited to these applications, and for a fairly obvious factor. Basically all American-made bases are made in US factories that are possessed by Swedish, Danish or German firms that developed this market, and their ordinary residents are a lot taller than the average Oriental consumer, so they started making longer-stroke training legs a long time earlier. And also they have much more robotic automation, laser-cutting tools, and large experience making standing desk bases, it goes without saying.

If you’re not as well high, don’t have an excessive quantity of hefty devices on your desktop computer, and do not need as well broad of a desk, the StandDesk Pro will provide you great bang for your buck.

All that could alter with Yu’s guaranteed StandDesk Pro 2.0 style that he expects to launch at some time in the future. Originally we were informed we would certainly see it by June 2018. Greater than a year later on it has yet to materialize, and also Yu states he’s had difficulty getting the product quality he requires out of several Chinese manufacturing facilities he’s attempted working with. The brand-new layout is allegedly going to be a lot easier to set up and also have a heftier crossbar design, to name a few refinements. He states the new base will certainly be used in both a “T-Leg” as well as “C-Leg” setup, alleviating our worry concerning side-load emphasizing on the lifting columns.

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

In the meantime, a brand-new $399 standing workdesk with outstanding performance has actually been present with the brand-new joint endeavor in between US-based iMovR as well as China-based Eureka, the i1 electrical standing workdesk. While limited in dimension as well as color alternatives, it has actually taken the mantle far from StandDesk’s long-ago condition as the most effective standing workdesk under $400.

The StandDesk was created by millennials, is marketed straight at millennials, and also has been gobbled up by millennials in outstanding quantities. While it brings a ten-year guarantee (the longest of any Chinese-made base), in this case it’s not necessarily a trusted sign of the anticipated beneficial life of the lifting columns. But also for the rate, the StandDesk is a fantastic lower-cost alternative to the UpLift, Jarvis and also other Chinese-made desks. Regardless of its stability problems this is a far better item than the Autonomous SmartDesk or IKEA Bekant might ever before want to be, and also a good value generally. It’s the mid-priced offering in the wide group of Chinese-made desks that is gaining clients from both its less expensive as well as more expensive peers.

There’s a consisted of hex device for fastening all of the screws 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 components have an excellent quality finish to them with rounded corners to stay clear of cut hands. Below is a shot of all the bolts that are secured to the leg assembly– it’s not going anywhere!

Standdesk-Leg

The foot assembly additionally includes height-adjustable rotation gears to stabilize the front-to-back motion of the desk, which was really valuable for the carpeted home office flooring. I’m also utilizing a floor mat to protect the rug from chair wheel damages at sitting elevation, and also press the chair when I’m transitioning to standing height.

Standdesk-Foot

The luxurious controller deserved the investment. The switches are all variable stress configured, suggesting the up and down arrowheads will adjust the elevation by 1/10th of an inch with a solitary press, or continually change the elevation by about 0.7 inches per second if you hold the button for 2 seconds. The memory switches are similar in design: push to recall the height setting, or hold the button down for 5 seconds to save a new elevation value.

This is all without the business’s bar enhancement, which they assert adds a lot more security when purchased as a part of the plan deal.When it involves weight resistance, the StandDesk shares yet even more statistics with the Jarvis, being rated for up to 350 pounds of weight capability.

I’ve been utilizing the desk for concerning three weeks currently for day-to-day job (as well as following standing workdesk best methods), whether it’s typing out testimonials like this one from our desktop computer or a laptop computer every now and then.

I might barely get it to make greater than about 9.5 dB of noise, so if your greatest problem is the whirr of your motor, this is definitely the one for you.

Customer Service

Now, generally I do not consist of much regarding the client service support of any type of offered company, only because I feel that in general if a product functions the means its supposed to, I should not ever before have a factor to call them to begin with. And also while I desire I could say that was the case during my experience with StandDesk, I just can not finish this evaluation without stating the countless, apparently limitless problems I encountered trying to obtain my desk created.

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

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

The stability of a standing workdesk is just one of one of the most crucial aspects of these workdesks.

To obtain the best return on your investment, you’ll intend to enjoy when using the desk.

Conclusion

Like all the Chinese bases we have actually tested in our laboratories, we have to tighten our recommendation on the StandDesk Pro to much shorter customers with narrower desktop computers, as the security just isn’t there for a big mass elevated high off the ground.

This is especially true with a workdesk frame that includes 32 bolts, there are much a lot of factors at which the desk has an opportunity to relocate.

Final thought

Like all the Chinese bases we’ve evaluated in our labs, we need to narrow our referral on the StandDesk Pro to shorter users with narrower desktops, as the security simply isn’t there for a big mass boosted high off the ground. American-made workdesks will certainly be much better suited to these applications, and for a relatively evident reason. Basically all American-made bases are made in United States manufacturing facilities that are had by Swedish, Danish or German firms that designed this market, and also their average citizens are a great deal taller than the average Oriental consumer, so they started making longer-stroke training legs a long period of time back. And they have even more robotic automation, laser-cutting devices, as well as sheer experience making standing desk bases, it goes without saying.

However if you’re not as well tall, do not have an excessive quantity of heavy tools on your desktop, and do not need too wide of a desk, the StandDesk Pro will give you excellent bang for your buck.

All that may alter with Yu’s guaranteed StandDesk Pro 2.0 style that he expects to release at some time in the future. Originally we were told we ‘d see it by June 2018. More than a year later on it has yet to materialize, as well as Yu states he’s had difficulty getting the product high quality he needs out of a number of Chinese factories he’s tried collaborating with. The new design is supposedly going to be a lot easier to put together and have a heftier bar layout, to name a few improvements. He states the brand-new base will be provided in both a “T-Leg” and “C-Leg” arrangement, minimizing our concern about side-load emphasizing on the training columns.

If this brand-new base ever 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 company is that Yu shut the tiny Los Angeles office and has moved it to accompany all its other staff members in southeast Asia.

In the meantime, a new $399 standing workdesk with excellent efficiency has actually been present with the brand-new joint venture in between US-based iMovR as well as China-based Eureka, the i1 electric standing desk. While limited in size as well as shade options, 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 right at millennials, and also has actually been gobbled up by millennials in impressive volumes. While it carries a ten-year warranty (the lengthiest of any Chinese-made base), in this case it’s not necessarily a dependable indicator of the expected useful life of the training columns. But for the price, the StandDesk is a fantastic lower-cost choice to the UpLift, Jarvis as well as various other Chinese-made workdesks. Regardless of its security concerns this is a far better item than the Autonomous SmartDesk or IKEA Bekant can ever want to be, as well as a good value overall. It’s the mid-priced offering in the broad category of Chinese-made workdesks that is gaining consumers from both its more affordable and pricier peers.

StandDesk Building, Configuration, and also Gizmos

Building the desk is quite direct if you comply with the detailed directions. Every one of the screws, bolts, washers, and springtime washers come in different bags that are marked with their destination: tabletop, structure, and also spares. There’s an included hex tool for securing all of the bolts right into the structure, or, pop in a hex bit into your power device– simply take care not to over-tighten.

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

Standdesk-Leg

The foot assembly also includes height-adjustable turning equipments to stabilize the front-to-back movement of the desk, which was very practical for the carpeted office flooring. I’m additionally making use of a floor mat to shield the rug from chair wheel damage at resting height, and push the chair when I’m transitioning to standing height.

Standdesk-Foot

The deluxe controller was worth the financial investment. The buttons are all variable pressure programmed, meaning the up and down arrowheads will certainly change the elevation by 1/10th of an inch with a single press, or continually readjust the elevation by around 0.7 inches per 2nd if you hold the switch for 2 seconds. The memory switches are comparable in design: press to recall the height setup, or hold the button down for five seconds to save a new height worth. I’m using switch 1 for my resting position as well as button 4 for my standing placement, which gives me 2 and 3 for anything I could need in the future.

Standdesk-Memory-unit

Utilizing my Standdesk

I have actually been using the new workdesk for a few weeks as well as have actually made a note of my preliminary perceptions:

The electric motors are quiet however can be listened to in the following space over. It takes probably 25 seconds for the desk to totally change from resting to standing based upon my presets.
I make use of an Ergotron side-by-side keep track of arm (particularly this LX version), causing the desk to get a little rocky when I move my weight against the key-board. In knowledge, I must have bought the bar upgrade for my desk after establishing the weight of my screens. If you prepare to do a twin monitor setup, obtain the bar.

Because gravity compresses the discs in a human spinal column, I need to raise the desk higher in the morning and lower it at night.

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

Performance

Despite any kind of troubles I may have had with the handset or the cookie-cutter layout, practically every one of those concerns removed when I really got down to using this thing.

Although I really did not think it was also possible, the StandDesk in some way handles to be even more stable than the Jarvis, both at sitting and also standing heights. The majority of days I like to run my Jarvis at max elevation while pressed against my wall surface; not always because it’s that wobbly, yet just because I want as much security as I can obtain.

The StandDesk one ups the gambit also further, verifying to be equally as constant by itself at standing height as the Jarvis is with wall support. This is all without the business’s bar addition, which they declare includes even more security when acquired as a part of the package deal.When it involves weight tolerance, the StandDesk shares yet much more stats with the Jarvis, being ranked for as much as 350 lbs of weight capability.

I’ve been using the desk for concerning three weeks currently for day-to-day work (as well as complying with standing workdesk ideal techniques), whether it’s keying out evaluations like this one from our desktop computer or a laptop periodically. The desk holds up well versus non-coastered beverages, and also the coating in addition to the desk still feels equally as smooth and glossy as the day I opened it despite days of sweaty wrists wresting on it and numerous clean downs with a cloth.

Though I never deliberately attempt to dent any kind of workdesks also hard, throughout some lighter examinations (throwing a collection of tricks onto it from a range, for example), it still held up without a lot of visible indicators of damage.

Finally, when I gauged the noise output of the desk while it climbed from a resting position to standing and back once again, it was without a doubt the quietest we have actually tested yet. I might barely get it to make more than about 9.5 dB of noise, so if your greatest worry is the whirr of your motor, this is absolutely the one for you.

Customer support

Now, normally I don’t consist of much concerning the client service support of any kind of given firm, only because I really feel that in general if a product functions the way its expected to, I shouldn’t ever before have a factor to call them to begin with. As well as while I wish I can state that held true during my experience with StandDesk, I simply can not finish this review without stating the many, seemingly countless issues I encountered attempting to get my desk put together.

For beginners, the desk I was sent out really did not have any type of memory phone consisted of originally, which implied I had no way of really regulating the up/down feature on the desk itself. I called StandDesk concerning this problem, who returned to me around a day later on with an apology and also a guarantee that a new one would certainly be shipped out soon.

Standdesk review handset

The resource of all our troubles …
About 4 days later a handset got here in the mail. The mobile phone at first turned on, however it wasn’t long before I discovered that none of the programmable switches functioned, neither did the down switch, but for some reason the “memory” button handled the down function simply great. I spoke to the firm again, and also they apologized for the mixup and stated they would certainly have a 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. As soon as I installed them both the desk finally began functioning the method it was intended to, yet not after practically a month of waiting and backward and forward with a business that could not keep in mind to deliver a core component of their product inside the same box from the get-go.

Points to Take into consideration

In spite of its bankable features, this stand workdesk additionally has its own downsides. Given that no particular stand workdesk might record every one of the functions that you may need, you might take into consideration these in your decision-making.

Absence of a Bar as criterion

Not having a supporting crossbar is certainly not a deal-breaker, particularly considering several of our various other favorite desks such as the Totally Jarvis additionally do not have one. As a matter of fact, this desk does have one if you desire, yet it is a paid add-on (a lot more on this later on too).

The bar is seen by some as an obstacle, making it more challenging to put your legs easily below the desk. Others, on the other hand, discover that they give included stability, typically essential when workdesks are fully extended.

We have not read any kind of grievances of the stability of this workdesk, so we don’t think its something to actually be concerned about, although if you really wanted a desk with a bar after that we suggest you take a look at the Varidesk ProDesk 60 Electric.

StandDesk does provide a separate add-on bar that you can add to the workdesk yourself, just for an extra $49.95.

Stability

The stability of a standing workdesk is one of the most essential elements of these desks. Without a stable desk you’ll find it tough to concentrate, which can result in you ending up being less interested in utilizing the desk at standing height. To get the very best return on your investment, you’ll intend to enjoy when using the desk.

Since the StandDesk Simple is the first desk that I have evaluated with an optional cross support, I will certainly break down my stability tests right into 2 sections. Both tests will certainly include the typical front to back rocking test and an entrusted to ideal wobble. The very first will certainly be without the cross assistance and the secondly will be with it. Simply to note, StandDesk.co claims that the enhancement of the cross support can raise security by up to 15%. I have no concept exactly how they thought of that number.

Without Cross Support

Left to Right: The wobble test was a different circumstance. StandDesk Simple was the second workdesk that I evaluated that tottered near the bottom with weight on the desktop computer. The first was the IKEA Bekant. By the time it reached 36″ the shaking movement misbehaved. Yet point it would influence your work.

With Cross Assistance

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

Delegated Right: Including the cross assistance to the StandDesk enhanced the wobble activity for reduced elevations. With the cross support the wobble activity really did not start up until you reached 35″. By 39″ the wobble movement ended up being negative.

Note: It’s extremely vital with flexible standing workdesks to completely tighten all hardware. If there is hardware that is not completely limited, the movement experienced when extended to standing elevation will certainly be exaggerated. This is particularly true with a desk framework that consists of 32 bolts, there are much too many points at which the desk has a chance to relocate.

Final thought

Like all the Chinese bases we’ve tested in our laboratories, we need to narrow our suggestion on the StandDesk Pro to much shorter users with narrower desktops, as the security simply isn’t there for a big mass raised high off the ground. American-made desks will be much better fit to these applications, and also for a relatively noticeable factor. Practically all American-made bases are made in US manufacturing facilities that are possessed by Swedish, Danish or German firms that developed this sector, and also their average people are a great deal taller than the average Asian consumer, so they began making longer-stroke lifting legs a very long time back. And also they have far more robot automation, laser-cutting equipment, as well as large experience making standing desk bases, obviously.

If you’re not as well tall, do not have an inordinate amount of heavy devices on your desktop, as well as do not require also wide of a workdesk, the StandDesk Pro will offer you great bang for your dollar.

All that may transform with Yu’s promised StandDesk Pro 2.0 layout that he expects to launch sometime in the future. Originally we were told we ‘d see it by June 2018. More than a year later it has yet to materialize, and Yu states he’s had problem getting the item quality he requires out of several Chinese factories he’s tried working with. The new style is allegedly going to be a lot easier to set up and have a heftier crossbar style, among other improvements. He states the brand-new base will be provided in both a “T-Leg” as well as “C-Leg” setup, easing our issue concerning side-load worrying on the training columns.

If this brand-new base ever before comes to market we’ll update you here. Yet we’re not holding our breath any kind of longer as one of the most current information on the business is that Yu shut the tiny Los Angeles office and has actually relocated it to accompany all its other workers in southeast Asia.

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