This is what I did

I bought the vivo table top desk (desk-v000) from amazon and it arrived in two days. $89

A good sturdy one that can handle the load of an additional monitor would be difficult to find for under 100$. The cheaper ones are not that durable. I bought one in December and have noticed the prices have gone up due to demand given so many are working from home. Look out for either refurbished ones or ones with slight cosmetic damage - I bought a $180 one for $99 on Amazon - and it was as good as new and high quality.

Thanks that’s great advice. Do you remember the brand you got?

Jarvis by Fully. Standing desk that you can build on their website. Thank me later

Thanks unfortunately it’s expensive and I already have a table. Just need that tabletop thingy

Officedepot has a sale now, may be check out their website

Any specific models?

Duronic sells nice ones. Do not cheap out on this if you want it to last and hold a sturdy monitor.

There is one on amazon for about 100-200 dollars and it’s amazing

Which one? There are so many

Ended up buying this because my Apple monitor doesn’t have screw holes behind for mounting

If I had screw holes in my monitor, is definitely buy this one instead

You mean VESA mounts? You can get monitor arms that clamp on the desk, but use those instead with a regular sit stand thing.

1099 or w-2 ? I have been given the option though the company prefers w-2. It’s a day rate booking couple of months or more (no end date). I already have 1099 from similar company this year and am leaning towards 1099, but I don’t want to be difficult. I do take home office deduction and they are not supplying any equipment. Suggestions?
