Uplift.
Could wind up being a bit of a splurge depending on how you design but absolutely worth it

Got mine off Fb marketplace for $350, great deal!

My friend got an Uplift but it cost her almost 1K. During last thanksgiving they did have a bunch of free add-ons. I have an autonomous and I like it. Some of my friends got this desk from Costco at the beginning of covid and they love it. It only cost around 300. I tried looking for it now and couldn’t find it

I have an uplift and I wish I’d never spent that much money. Plus it came damaged and they were a pain to deal with. I found another one on Amazon for my husband that is bigger, much cheaper (55 inch corner desk -not being used in corner - for $275) and works just as well. It was called SHW and has 12k reviews on Amazon. We are very happy with it.
