Where are you finding used ones?
Thanks
I saw good numbers on FB marketplace and craigslist (granted in a pretty suburban area). It was earlier in the summer so maybe it was just recent grads unloading theirs, but probably worth a look.

Agreed, I sprung and had a custom standing desk made. Have my monitor mounted to the wall with an adjustable arm, tall wobble stool, standing pad, and a footstool. Love it and stand almost all the time for going on 4 years now.I prefer a fixed standing desk with a tall stool chair. I have been through a few version of my current setup, but is is basically just a big, adjustable Ikea table with added fully adjustable monitor stands, and an elevated keyboard stand.
Two important accessories for this setup is a foot stool and a standing pad.

i ended up with one of the bigger desks off of amazon. cant remember which brand but it is working very well.What did you end up buying?
yup all this. I generally add programmable option so I can set minimum height to prevent the desk from being lowered on to an under desk hutch cabinet or chair arms. if you have overhead storage bins I'd suggest removing them because inevitably you'll run your monitors into them.Our office purchased a bunch of retrofit kits from HAT Contract - they are just the legs/motors/switches that can be installed on desktops in place of the original legs. They have all sorts of options but ours are seemingly basic - electric, relatively quiet, memory setting [four] with manual up/down for other custom heights, telescopic legs without intermediate cross braces.
I have had some back issues and the height adjustable desk has been good for that - and my posture too [which are most likely realted]. I raise/lower my desk several times throughout the day; others leave theirs up. The note above regarding monitors and mounting is spot on.
If yo go electric - they are nice and I believe the easier it is to use the more you will actually use it - but you need to measure out any cable lengths and plug distances; also need to watch for monitor heights in raised positions relative to wall mounted shelves, lights, pictures....etc.
Do they ever go on sale? Coupon codes?+1 for Uplift ... very happy with mine, using this one - https://www.upliftdesk.com/uplift-v2-l-shaped-standing-desk/
I have seen some sale emails previously, but not recently.Do they ever go on sale? Coupon codes?
Seriously. I spend 10+ hours at my desk a day, and I don’t like the idea of spending a few hundred dollars on it. But a particular fishing rod or reel that I spend a fraction of the amount of time with per year, at the same price seems completely reasonable.
I am eyeballing this one. It's a hand crank and saves a couple hundred bucks. I also had a fancy L shape in office but am now at home more. Can't bring myself to spend 1500 on a desk. Although my better half is quick to remind me I spent double that on a trolling motor for the boat...priorities.
So I bought it. It came in 2 days flat. First impressions was its heavy. Put it together in under 1.5 hrs. Fit and finish is top notch. I work in manufacturing and I was impressed. Everything fit and lined up perfectly. The crank assembly is light duty, but it's also remarkably simple so any issue could be easily resolved. The laminate top is nice. Directions were minimal, but follow the pictures and it's pretty straight forward. I actually appreciated the simple instructions. Crank time is around 30 sec from lowest to highest.

Is the crank removable? Looks like an obtrusive nut whacker.So I bought it. It came in 2 days flat. First impressions was its heavy. Put it together in under 1.5 hrs. Fit and finish is top notch.

Could you send a couple of pics of the top? The amazon photos are trash resolution.So I bought it. It came in 2 days flat. First impressions was its heavy. Put it together in under 1.5 hrs.
