Any recommendations for a budget standing desk frame? Already have a nice table top I would like to use, but don’t want to break the bank on a frame to attach it to. Would like to stay under 250 but would go up to 300. Thanks in advance! Only wish is that it doesn’t wobble and is somewhat sturdy.

Let’s talk office set ups. I am looking at a Uplift standing desk as my big splurge because I have back issues, and the room I work in has horrible lighting so I’m considering some sort of selfie light ring type thing that I can clip to my monitor.

I’m 23 and independent. Working full time and studying full time is taking a serious toll on my mental health. I’m always tired, unmotivated, depressed, sometimes angry at my life, and I don’t know what to do. I’m in my sophomore year. I also don’t work in the field that I’m studying (computer science) because I’m always rejected without an interview, which is another aggravating factor for me. It’s hard to have time to work on personal projects to make my portfolio more attractive.
