I have the Jarvis Bamboo. It’s good. I wish I had got the l shaped but it was too expensive for me at that time.

I’ve been using the Jarvis Adjustable Desk from Fully for years and it’s been solid. In fact, I liked it so much I bought a second one when I moved across country. There are a few different options and I went with the bamboo one (both times). Hope this helps!

Do some yoga, core strength exercises, you need to have stronger core so your back can take the load for 8 hrs when you are sitting in a chair. I had a same issue 2 years ago, I saw a doc and strenghtening my core has helped me a lot!

I was gonna say this. Also some basic Pilates ab exercises. Completely fixed my lower backaches.

Got an Uplift that which I like a lot. Jarvis, Autonomous, Uplift are all pretty similar IMO. There was a review I watched on how stable each are in standing position (they all shake a bit) that helped me make my decision. Only thing I would change with mine is I would not go with the laminate black desk material, super prone to finger prints. Otherwise am a big fan of it!

+1 on uplift. Is very sturdy and the wood surface feels much more permanent than some laminated out there

Amazon has one for $500 that has amazing reviews, can’t remember the company but it’ll be clear when you search standing desk

Second the Jarvis adjustable. Got and assembled one this weekend. Fair warning- you need to ease into the standing component. Went in cold on Monday and Tuesday and my knees are killing me!

An anti fatigue mat helps tremendously. Trust me.
