Does anyone have a standing desk? Any recommendations? Looking to not break the bank but also get something sturdy.

Uplift desk. Love it.

~530 for their smallest electric desk (42 x 30). I thought it was overly expensive and unnecessary, but then finally bit the bullet and got one. Since then, I wonder why it took me so long to get one

Ikea Bekant desk (not sure if it‘s available in the US)

Second this. Love mine.

I have one from amazon, it's basically a bar table kinda thing but was only £40 (could expense it tho) and fits well with the rest of the furniture. Really saved my back during all those weeks

Varidesk - manual, minimal frills but great

Agree with Deloitte 1. I got mine at Fully and really like it. It's very sturdy. The cheapest one is just under $600, so not the cheapest out there. It is well made though. I have been very happy with mine.

Thank you all. Appreciate your help! Bought the uplift given the customizations. Was more than I would have liked to pay ($916) but have a 30 day refund if I don’t like it.

You're going to enjoy it! It's really well made, pretty easy to setup too (took me ~10-15 min)

I bought the VIVO Electric standing desk - $350 all in and has different height settings and can set. It’s great and way easy to put together.

This is what I have. I don’t know if my screws aren’t tight enough because it’s a little wobbly when I’m standing.

Are standing desks good for your back?

Start getting tension if I stand too long

You can also adjust the height to a more ideal height when sitting

I got one from Fully.com and have been happy with it

Put the chair on the desk when standing 🤷‍♀️

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).

Just landed a full time gig, looking to get some furniture so I’m not working on my parents’ kitchen table during this remote period. Any recommendations for desks and chairs? I’m hoping to find something that’s easy to assemble and break down for when I need to move, and something that won’t cost an arm and a leg.

I know everyone has a different kind of setup that works for them. I currently have a laptop, drawing pad, second monitor, and a desk riser.

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.
