Anyone bought a standing desk recently? Trying to find out if brands like Uplift which will cost $700+ are worth it as compared to Amazon brands which are usually less than half that cost

Also got a flexispot on Amazon and happy. Read the reviews for tips on how to correctly assemble because the instructions in the box aren’t accurate and you’ll have to redo two steps.

Costco has a nice powered one

Second the flexispot from Amazon. Only benefit of the more expensive ones I've noticed is having preset heights. If it really bugs you to hold a button down for a few seconds a few times a day, then sure drop a few hundred extra.

Got a vari one as well, and loving it

I have a Vari desk (60 inches - $600 ish) and an Autonomous desk (50ish inches - $450 ish).

Both are great, easy to set up, good build quality. My Vari desktop is much thicker and heavier overall, but the Autonomous was cheaper and came faster for a similar size. Vari also goes lower (if you’re short) and higher (if you’re tall) than the equivalent Autonomous model

I am quite satisfied with my Uplift desk, can't speak to any of the more reasonably priced brands.

I got a Fully and I’m obsessed. Used my wellness budget for most of it and it’s the single best purchase I’ve made this year.

I got one from IKEA and it’s been fantastic

Bought a $50 folding table and $150 standing desk converter on Amazon and I can't really imagine it functioning better (though not best aesthetics if you care)

My vari is great and it was maybe 350 for a full size one.

Joining a big firm next week as fully remote lateral and flying out to home office for orientation. The schedule has me in office until 4:15. I’ve already been told I won’t have any actual work. Depending on how many people are there and how it feels, I was planning to stay an hour extra but should I hang around the office until later? First time visiting this city so it’d be great to take in some sights too (although that’s not a priority of course).
