About to pull the trigger on an uplift v2 standing desk and I live in a 710sqft apt. I'm considering either 48x30, which fits perfectly in a nook beside my couch, or do I push it and get 60x30? It won't fit in the nook, but will still fit in-between couch and the wall. Nervous about moving into a smaller apt at some point and being stuck with a large desk.

If the small one fits now and you anticipate having even less space in the future, no clue what the justification for a bigger desk would be

Pictures?

Moved to a smaller apartment a couple months ago, upsized desk to a 60x30 (Fully Jarvis) - haven't regretted it for a second

No monitors, but I generally have up to 4 laptops open at a time

Had a desk before - not sure of exact measurements, just some IKEA table. Might have been 48x30 at the most

I think it’s all about what you need equipment wise. I’ve got personal and business laptops (3 that I use kvm switch), plus gaming desktop (on a separate standing desk). 32in gaming monitor, plus 3 screen work set up including coding monitor. I need the space. But I also spend all my time either working or gaming. So that’s my priority. If you need all that or a lot of space, get it. I wouldn’t get the larger desk in NY unless it’s a necessity.

I got one from Wayfair that actually rests in a table for this reason. Super easy to use and I can move it around as needed.

Get the suction cup one for the window from shark tank. It’s awesome!

First time visiting this city so it’d be great to take in some sights too (although that’s not a priority of course).
