Any tall people (6’4+) here using the IKEA standing desk (Skarsta)? If so, what’s the feedback? Good or no good?

Get a standing desk from autonomous instead.

Lol. IKEA shoppers.

Don’t do this to yourself

I’m exactly 6’4 and have it, It’s an overall good desk, but in hindsight I would’ve spent the extra money to get an electronic one. It takes a solid minute to crank it to standing height and it gets noisy while doing it. It also doesn’t go as high as I would like, if you’re over 6’4 this could be an issue.

But it’s easy to assemble for an Ikea product.

Very helpful! Thanks! I am 6’4 so this is the perfect review.

Would totally recommend autonomous .

I ended up going with the Flexispot. It raises to 48.4”. It’s great and I am glad I got that extra inch.

Hello RSM coworkers! I am thrilled to be moving to RSM into a Scheduler roll. I just found out yesterday and want to be as prepared as possible in the next steps.

So here are my questions.

How long does the background study take? I'm guessing admin staff have a study that is faster and less complicated than someone in Tax ect.

When training at home what did you need that wasn't supplied by RSM? My home office is well stocked but I want to be as prepared as possible.

Thanks in advance!
