The StandDesk was created by millennials, is marketed right at millennials, and also has been demolished by millennials in outstanding quantities. While it carries a ten-year warranty (the longest of any Chinese-made base), in this situation it’s not necessarily a trustworthy sign of the expected useful life of the lifting columns. For the price, the StandDesk is a fantastic lower-cost alternative to the UpLift, Jarvis as well as various other Chinese-made workdesks. Despite its stability problems this is a much better item than the Autonomous SmartDesk or IKEA Bekant could ever before intend to be, and also a good value in general. It’s the mid-priced offering in the broad classification of Chinese-made desks that is gaining clients from both its less expensive as well as more expensive peers.

StandDesk Building And Construction, Configuration, and also Devices

Constructing the desk is quite easy if you follow the comprehensive guidelines. Every one of the screws, bolts, washing machines, as well as spring washing machines come in separate bags that are noted with their destination: tabletop, framework, and spares. There’s a consisted of hex tool for attaching all of the bolts into the structure, or, pop in a hex bit into your power tool– just take care not to over-tighten.

All of the parts have a high quality coating to them with rounded edges to avoid cut hands. Below is a shot of all the screws that are fastened to the leg assembly– it’s not going anywhere!

Standdesk-Leg

The foot setting up additionally includes height-adjustable turning gears to support the front-to-back movement of the desk, which was very handy for the carpeted home office floor. I’m additionally using a floor mat to safeguard the carpet from chair wheel damages at sitting height, and press the chair back when I’m transitioning to standing height.

Standdesk-Foot

The luxurious controller was worth the financial investment. The buttons are all variable pressure programmed, implying the backwards and forwards arrowheads will certainly adjust the elevation by 1/10th of an inch with a solitary press, or continually readjust the elevation by about 0.7 inches per second if you hold the switch for two seconds. The memory buttons are similar in style: push to remember the height setting, or hold the button down for 5 seconds to save a new height worth. I’m utilizing button 1 for my resting placement as well as switch 4 for my standing position, which offers me 2 and also 3 for anything I may need in the future.

Using my Standdesk

I’ve been making use of the brand-new workdesk for a few weeks as well as have written down my first perceptions:

The motors are quiet yet can be listened to in the following room over. It takes probably 25 secs for the desk to fully shift from resting to standing based upon my presets.
I utilize an Ergotron side-by-side keep an eye on arm (specifically this LX design), causing the desk to get a little rough when I change my weight against the key-board. In hindsight, I must have bought the crossbar upgrade for my workdesk after determining the weight of my displays. If you intend to do a dual display arrangement, obtain the bar.

Due to the fact that gravity presses the discs in a human spine, I require to increase the desk greater in the early morning as well as reduced it at night.

An anti-fatigue mat is absolutely essential for long period of time standing. I purchased an Octagonal mat from SmartCells, making use of rubber “cells” that are visualized below.

Performance

Regardless of any kind of troubles I may have had with the mobile phone or the cookie-cutter style, basically every one of those problems washed away as soon as I in fact got down to utilizing this point.

I really did not believe it was even feasible, the StandDesk somehow handles to be also a lot more stable than the Jarvis, both at sitting as well as standing heights. Many days I like to run my Jarvis at max height while pressed versus my wall surface; not always because it’s that wobbly, yet just because I desire as much stability as I can obtain.

The StandDesk one ups the gambit even additionally, showing to be equally as steady by itself at standing elevation as the Jarvis is with wall support. This is all without the business’s bar addition, which they declare includes much more stability when purchased as a part of the bundle deal.When it comes to weight tolerance, the StandDesk shares yet even more stats with the Jarvis, being ranked for approximately 350 lbs of weight capability.

I have actually been utilizing the desk for regarding 3 weeks now for day-to-day work (and also following standing desk best practices), whether it’s keying out testimonials similar to this one from our desktop computer or a laptop every so often. The desk stands up well versus non-coastered drinks, and also the coating in addition to the desk still really feels equally as smooth and also glossy as the day I opened it regardless of days of perspiring wrists wresting on it and also several wipe downs with a cloth.

Though I never ever deliberately attempt to damage any type of workdesks as well hard, during some lighter tests (throwing a set of keys onto it from a range, as an example), it still held up without a lot of noticeable indications of damages.

Last but not least, when I gauged the sound result of the desk while it increased from a sitting position to standing and back again, it was by far the quietest we have actually checked yet. I might hardly get it to make more than regarding 9.5 dB of sound, so if your greatest worry is the whirr of your motor, this is certainly the one for you.

Client service

Now, usually I do not consist of much regarding the client service support of any type of provided business, only since I really feel that in general if an item functions the means its expected to, I shouldn’t ever have a factor to call them to begin with. And while I want I can say that was the case during my experience with StandDesk, I just can not finish this review without pointing out the numerous, seemingly endless troubles I encountered trying to obtain my desk created.

For beginners, the desk I was sent out didn’t have any memory mobile phone consisted of originally, which meant I had no other way of really controlling the up/down function on the desk itself. I got in touch with StandDesk regarding this problem, that returned to me around a day later on with an apology as well as a promise that a new one would be shipped out shortly.

Standdesk evaluation handset

The resource of all our troubles …
Regarding four days later on a mobile showed up in the mail. The handset originally activated, yet it wasn’t long prior to I observed that none of the programmable buttons functioned, nor did the down switch, but also for some factor the “memory” switch dealt with the down function simply fine. I contacted the company once more, as well as they apologized for the mixup and said they would have a new panel and control box out to me within the week.

Over two weeks later on my new panel and control box showed up. Once I mounted them both the desk lastly began working the way it was supposed to, however not after virtually a month of waiting and also back and forth with a business that could not keep in mind to deliver a core part of their item inside the exact same box from the beginning.

Things to Consider

Regardless of its bankable functions, this stand desk likewise has its own drawbacks. Since no single stand workdesk might capture every one of the features that you might require, you may think about these in your decision-making.

Lack of a Crossbar as requirement

Not having a stabilizing crossbar is absolutely not a deal-breaker, especially taking into consideration a few of our other favorite workdesks such as the Completely Jarvis likewise don’t have one. As a matter of fact, this workdesk does have one if you desire, however it is a paid add-on (extra on this later also).

The crossbar is seen by some as a barrier, making it more difficult to position your legs conveniently below the desk. Others, on the other hand, discover that they provide included security, typically crucial when desks are completely prolonged.

We have not check out any type of problems of the stability of this desk, so we do not believe its something to truly be concerned about, although if you actually desired a workdesk with a bar after that we suggest you take a look at the Varidesk ProDesk 60 Electric.

Alternatively, StandDesk does provide a different add-on bar that you can contribute to the desk on your own, just for an added $49.95.

Stability

The stability of a standing workdesk is just one of one of the most crucial elements of these desks. Without a secure desk you’ll discover it hard to focus, which might result in you becoming less interested in using the desk at standing elevation. To obtain the best return on your investment, you’ll wish to be happy when utilizing the desk.

Since the StandDesk Simple is the initial workdesk that I have actually examined with an optional cross assistance, I will break down my stability tests right into two sections. Both tests will consist of the regular front to back rocking test and a delegated appropriate wobble. The very first will lack the cross support and the secondly will certainly be with it. Just to keep in mind, StandDesk.co states that the enhancement of the cross assistance can increase security by as much as 15%. I have no concept exactly how they created that number.

Without Cross Assistance

Left to Right: The wobble test was a various circumstance. StandDesk Simple was the second workdesk that I tested that wobbled near the bottom with weight on the desktop. The first was the IKEA Bekant. By the time it reached 36″ the shaking motion misbehaved. Beyond this point it would affect your work.

With Cross Assistance

Front to Back: Adding the cross support does not influence the rocking activity. The StandDesk Simple began to experienced a rocking movement at 36″. By 41″ the shaking motion was bad.

Entrusted to Right: Adding the cross support to the StandDesk boosted the wobble motion for reduced elevations. With the cross support the wobble activity didn’t start till you got to 35″. By 39″ the wobble activity became negative.

Keep in mind: It’s extremely important with flexible standing workdesks to totally tighten all hardware. If there is equipment that is not entirely tight, the activity experienced when extended to standing height will certainly be overemphasized. This is particularly real with a desk frame that includes 32 bolts, there are much way too many factors at which the desk has a chance to move.

Final thought

Like all the Chinese bases we have actually examined in our labs, we have to narrow our referral on the StandDesk Pro to much shorter users with narrower desktops, as the stability simply isn’t there for a large mass elevated high off the ground. American-made workdesks will certainly be much better fit to these applications, as well as for a rather obvious reason. Essentially all American-made bases are made in United States manufacturing facilities that are had by Swedish, Danish or German firms that designed this sector, as well as their ordinary people are a great deal taller than the average Asian consumer, so they began making longer-stroke training legs a long period of time ago. As well as they have far more robotic automation, laser-cutting devices, and large experience making standing desk bases, it goes without saying.

However if you’re not too tall, don’t have an excessive quantity of hefty equipment on your desktop, as well as do not require also wide of a desk, the StandDesk Pro will give you great value.

All that might transform with Yu’s guaranteed StandDesk Pro 2.0 style that he expects to launch sometime in the future. Originally we were informed we ‘d see it by June 2018. Greater than a year later it has yet to emerge, and Yu states he’s had trouble obtaining the product high quality he needs out of a number of Chinese manufacturing facilities he’s attempted working with. The new layout is apparently going to be a lot easier to put together and have a heftier crossbar layout, to name a few refinements. He states the new base will certainly be used in both a “T-Leg” as well as “C-Leg” configuration, reducing our problem regarding side-load emphasizing on the lifting columns.

If this brand-new base ever pertains to market we’ll update you right here. We’re not holding our breath any kind of longer as the most recent information on the company is that Yu closed the little Los Angeles workplace and also has actually relocated it to join with all its other staff members in southeast Asia.

In the meantime, a new $399 standing workdesk with impressive efficiency has been introduce through the new joint endeavor in between US-based iMovR and China-based Eureka, the i1 electric standing workdesk. While limited in dimension and also shade alternatives, it has actually taken the mantle away from StandDesk’s long-ago standing as the most effective standing workdesk under $400.

The StandDesk was created by millennials, is marketed straight at millennials, as well as has been demolished by millennials in impressive volumes. While it brings a ten-year warranty (the lengthiest of any Chinese-made base), in this instance it’s not always a trusted indication of the anticipated beneficial life of the training columns. For the cost, the StandDesk is a wonderful lower-cost choice to the UpLift, Jarvis and various other Chinese-made workdesks. Despite its security problems this is a much better item than the Autonomous SmartDesk or IKEA Bekant might ever before want to be, and a good value on the whole. It’s the mid-priced offering in the wide classification of Chinese-made workdesks that is swaying customers from both its less expensive as well as pricier peers.

All of the parts have a top quality finish to them with rounded edges to avoid cut hands. Below is a shot of all the screws that are fastened to the leg setting up– it’s not going anywhere!

The foot setting up additionally consists of height-adjustable rotation equipments to maintain the front-to-back motion of the desk, which was very handy for the carpeted office floor. I’m also making use of a floor mat to shield the carpeting from chair wheel damages at sitting elevation, as well as push the chair when I’m transitioning to standing height.

Standdesk-Foot

The deluxe controller deserved the financial investment. The buttons are all variable stress programmed, meaning the backwards and forwards arrows will certainly adjust the elevation by 1/10th of an inch with a single press, or continually readjust the elevation by around 0.7 inches per 2nd if you hold the button for two secs. The memory switches are comparable in layout: press to recall the height setup, or hold the button down for five secs to save a new height worth. I’m utilizing button 1 for my sitting placement and switch 4 for my standing position, which offers me 2 and 3 for anything I may require in the future.

I utilize an Ergotron side-by-side keep track of arm (especially this LX version), triggering the desk to get a little rocky when I move my weight against the key-board.

Due to the fact that gravity presses the discs in a human spinal column, I require to elevate the desk greater in the morning and reduced it in the evening.

An anti-fatigue mat is definitely important for long duration standing. I purchased an Octagonal mat from SmartCells, utilizing rubber “cells” that are envisioned listed below.

This is all without the company’s bar addition, which they declare adds even more stability when purchased as a part of the bundle deal.When it concerns weight resistance, the StandDesk shares yet a lot more statistics with the Jarvis, being ranked for approximately 350 lbs of weight capability.

I’ve been utilizing the desk for about three weeks currently for everyday job (as well as adhering to standing desk best methods), whether it’s keying out evaluations such as this one from our desktop or a laptop computer once in a while. The desk stands up well versus non-coastered drinks, and the finish on top of the desk still feels just as smooth and also glossy as the day I opened it in spite of days of sweaty wrists wresting on it and multiple wipe downs with a cloth.

I could hardly get it to make greater than about 9.5 dB of noise, so if your largest problem is the whirr of your motor, this is definitely the one for you.

Customer support

Currently, typically I don’t consist of much regarding the client service assistance of any offered firm, only because I feel that as a whole if an item works the means its meant to, I should not ever have a factor to call them in the first place. As well as while I want I could state that was the case throughout my experience with StandDesk, I merely can not complete this testimonial without stating the numerous, seemingly countless troubles I experienced attempting to obtain my desk put together.

For beginners, the desk I was sent really did not have any type of memory handset consisted of originally, which implied I had no chance of in fact regulating the up/down function on the desk itself. I called StandDesk concerning this concern, that returned to me around a day later with an apology and also an assurance that a brand-new one would certainly be shipped out shortly.

Like all the Chinese bases we have actually examined in our labs, we need to narrow our referral on the StandDesk Pro to much shorter individuals with narrower desktops, as the stability just isn’t there for a huge mass boosted high off the ground. American-made desks will be much better matched to these applications, and also for a fairly evident reason. Virtually all American-made bases are made in US manufacturing facilities that are possessed by Swedish, Danish or German firms that designed this industry, and their ordinary people are a great deal taller than the ordinary Asian customer, so they started making longer-stroke lifting legs a long period of time earlier. As well as they have even more robotic automation, laser-cutting devices, and large experience making standing desk bases, obviously.

Yet if you’re not too tall, don’t have an excessive amount of heavy devices on your desktop computer, and also don’t need too wide of a desk, the StandDesk Pro will certainly provide you great bang for your buck.

All that could change with Yu’s assured StandDesk Pro 2.0 style that he expects to launch sometime in the future. Initially we were informed we ‘d see it by June 2018. Greater than a year later on it has yet to appear, and also Yu states he’s had trouble getting the product top quality he requires out of a number of Chinese factories he’s tried working with. The brand-new layout is apparently mosting likely to be a lot easier to set up and also have a heftier bar style, among other improvements. He claims the new base will certainly be provided in both a “T-Leg” and also “C-Leg” arrangement, minimizing our issue concerning side-load emphasizing on the lifting columns.

If this brand-new base ever comes to market we’ll upgrade you below. However we’re not holding our breath any longer as the most current information on the business is that Yu shut the tiny Los Angeles workplace and has relocated it to accompany all its other workers in southeast Asia.

In the meantime, a new $399 standing workdesk with remarkable efficiency has been present through the new joint endeavor between US-based iMovR and also China-based Eureka, the i1 electric standing workdesk. While limited in size and color options, it has taken the mantle away from StandDesk’s long-ago status as the most effective standing workdesk under $400.

The StandDesk was developed by millennials, is marketed straight at millennials, and also has been demolished by millennials in outstanding quantities. While it carries a ten-year guarantee (the lengthiest of any type of Chinese-made base), in this case it’s not always a reputable indication of the expected valuable life of the lifting columns. For the rate, the StandDesk is a fantastic lower-cost option to the UpLift, Jarvis and other Chinese-made desks. Despite its security issues this is a much much better item than the Autonomous SmartDesk or IKEA Bekant might ever intend to be, and also a good value overall. It’s the mid-priced offering in the broad category of Chinese-made workdesks that is gaining customers from both its less expensive and also costlier peers.

StandDesk Building, Configuration, and also Devices

Building the desk is rather straight forward if you comply with the detailed directions. Every one of the screws, screws, washing machines, and spring washers been available in separate bags that are marked with their destination: table top, frame, and also spares. There’s a consisted of hex device for fastening all of the bolts right into the framework, or, pop in a hex bit into your power device– simply beware not to over-tighten.

All of the components have a premium quality surface to them with rounded edges to stay clear of cut hands. Below is a shot of all the bolts that are attached to the leg setting up– it’s not going anywhere!

Standdesk-Leg

The foot assembly additionally includes height-adjustable rotation equipments to support the front-to-back activity of the desk, which was extremely valuable for the carpeted office floor. I’m likewise using a floor mat to protect the carpeting from chair wheel damage at sitting elevation, and also push the chair when I’m transitioning to standing height.

Standdesk-Foot

The deluxe controller deserved the investment. The buttons are all variable pressure configured, indicating the backwards and forwards arrowheads will certainly readjust the height by 1/10th of an inch with a solitary press, or continually change the elevation by around 0.7 inches per 2nd if you hold the button for two seconds. The memory switches are comparable in style: push to remember the elevation setup, or hold the button down for 5 seconds to store a brand-new height worth. I’m utilizing button 1 for my sitting placement and also button 4 for my standing placement, which provides me 2 and 3 for anything I might require in the future.

Utilizing my Standdesk

I’ve been utilizing the new desk for a couple of weeks and also have documented my first impacts:

The electric motors are quiet but can be heard in the following area over. It takes perhaps 25 seconds for the desk to completely transition from sitting to standing based on my presets.
I utilize an Ergotron side-by-side keep track of arm (specifically this LX design), causing the desk to obtain a little rocky when I move my weight against the keyboard. In knowledge, I need to have acquired the bar upgrade for my workdesk after figuring out the weight of my displays. If you intend to do a dual display setup, get the bar.

Due to the fact that gravity compresses the discs in a human spine, I need to elevate the desk greater in the morning as well as reduced it in the evening.

An anti-fatigue mat is absolutely essential for long duration standing. I purchased an Octagonal mat from SmartCells, making use of rubber “cells” that are pictured below.

Performance

Regardless of any problems I might have had with the phone or the cookie-cutter style, basically all of those worries removed once I really came down to using this thing.

I didn’t assume it was also feasible, the StandDesk somehow takes care of to be even extra secure than the Jarvis, both at resting and also standing elevations. The majority of days I such as to run my Jarvis at max height while pressed against my wall surface; not necessarily due to the fact that it’s that shaky, yet just because I want as much stability as I can get.

The StandDesk one ups the gambit even better, confirming to be equally as steady by itself at standing elevation as the Jarvis is with wall support. This is all without the company’s bar addition, which they claim adds much more security when acquired as a part of the plan deal.When it comes to weight resistance, the StandDesk shares yet a lot more statistics with the Jarvis, being rated for as much as 350 lbs of weight capability.

I’ve been making use of the desk for concerning three weeks now for daily work (and also following standing workdesk ideal methods), whether it’s typing out reviews similar to this one from our desktop computer or a laptop computer every so often. The desk holds up well versus non-coastered beverages, and also the surface on top of the desk still really feels equally as smooth and slick as the day I opened it in spite of days of perspiring wrists wresting on it as well as numerous clean downs with a dustcloth.

Though I never ever deliberately try to dent any workdesks too hard, throughout some lighter examinations (throwing a collection of secrets onto it from a range, for instance), it still stood up without a lot of visible indicators of damage.

When I determined the sound output of the desk while it rose from a resting position to standing and also back once again, it was by much the quietest we’ve tested. I can hardly get it to make more than regarding 9.5 dB of sound, so if your greatest problem is the whirr of your electric motor, this is definitely the one for you.

Customer Service

Currently, generally I do not include much regarding the customer care assistance of any given company, just because I really feel that generally if an item functions the way its intended to, I should not ever have a factor to call them in the first place. And while I desire I can state that was the case throughout my experience with StandDesk, I just can not finish this review without stating the countless, seemingly countless issues I came across trying to get my workdesk assembled.

For starters, the desk I was sent out really did not have any memory mobile phone consisted of initially, which implied I had no chance of really managing the up/down function on the desk itself. I contacted StandDesk regarding this issue, who returned to me around a day later with an apology as well as a promise that a new one would be shipped out shortly.

Standdesk review handset

The resource of all our problems …
Regarding 4 days later a mobile arrived in the mail. The mobile phone at first turned on, however it had not been long before I observed that none of the programmable switches worked, neither did the down button, but also for some reason the “memory” switch dealt with the down feature just fine. I spoke to the company once again, and also they excused the mixup as well as claimed they would certainly have a new panel and control box bent on me within the week.

Over 2 weeks later my brand-new panel as well as control box got here. Once I installed them both the desk lastly began working the means it was intended to, however not after nearly a month of waiting as well as back and forth with a business that couldn’t remember to ship a core component of their product inside the very same box from the get-go.

Things to Think about

Despite its bankable functions, this stand up workdesk also has its very own downsides. Because no single stand workdesk can catch every one of the features that you may require, you might consider these in your decision-making.

Lack of a Crossbar as standard

Not having a stabilizing bar is absolutely not a deal-breaker, particularly thinking about a few of our various other favorite workdesks such as the Fully Jarvis also don’t have one. This workdesk does have one if you want, but it is a paid add-on (more on this later also).

The bar is seen by some as a limitation, making it more difficult to put your legs comfortably below the desk. Others, on the other hand, discover that they supply included security, frequently critical when workdesks are fully prolonged.

We have not read any complaints of the stability of this workdesk, so we don’t think its something to truly be worried regarding, although if you truly wanted a workdesk with a crossbar then we recommend you take a look at the Varidesk ProDesk 60 Electric.

Conversely, StandDesk does offer a separate add-on crossbar that you can contribute to the desk on your own, just for an additional $49.95.

Stability

The security of a standing workdesk is just one of one of the most important facets of these desks. Without a steady desk you’ll locate it tough to concentrate, which might result in you becoming much less thinking about making use of the desk at standing height. To obtain the best return on your investment, you’ll wish to enjoy when utilizing the desk.

Since the StandDesk Simple is the very first desk that I have checked with an optional cross support, I will certainly break down my security examinations right into 2 sections. Both examinations will certainly consist of the normal front to back shaking test and also a left to right wobble. The first will certainly be without the cross support as well as the secondly will be with it. Just to note, StandDesk.co says that the enhancement of the cross assistance can increase stability by up to 15%. I have no suggestion how they created that number.

Without Cross Support

Left to Right: The wobble examination was a different scenario. StandDesk Simple was the second workdesk that I tested that tottered at the bottom with weight on the desktop computer. The initial was the IKEA Bekant. By the time it got to 36″ the shaking activity was bad. Yet point it would certainly affect your job.

With Cross Support

Front to Back: Including the cross assistance does not affect the rocking motion. The StandDesk Simple started to experienced a rocking movement at 36″. By 41″ the shaking motion was bad.

Delegated Right: Including the cross support to the StandDesk improved the wobble activity for lower elevations. With the cross assistance the wobble motion really did not start until you got to 35″. By 39″ the wobble activity came to be negative.

Keep in mind: It’s really crucial with adjustable standing desks to completely tighten all hardware. If there is equipment that is not totally tight, the movement experienced when reached standing elevation will be exaggerated. This is particularly real with a desk structure that consists of 32 screws, there are far too many factors at which the desk has a chance to move.

Conclusion

Like all the Chinese bases we have actually examined in our labs, we need to narrow our referral on the StandDesk Pro to much shorter customers with narrower desktop computers, as the security just isn’t there for a big mass boosted high off the ground. American-made workdesks will certainly be much better fit to these applications, as well as for a relatively noticeable factor. Essentially all American-made bases are made in United States factories that are had by Swedish, Danish or German business that designed this industry, and also their average residents are a lot taller than the average Oriental customer, so they started making longer-stroke lifting legs a very long time back. And also they have even more robot automation, laser-cutting devices, as well as sheer experience making standing workdesk bases, obviously.

Yet if you’re not too high, do not have an inordinate quantity of heavy devices on your desktop computer, and also don’t need too wide of a desk, the StandDesk Pro will give you good value.

All that might alter with Yu’s promised StandDesk Pro 2.0 layout that he anticipates to release at some time in the future. Initially we were told we ‘d see it by June 2018. More than a year later it has yet to materialize, as well as Yu states he’s had difficulty getting the product high quality he needs out of a number of Chinese factories he’s attempted collaborating with. The brand-new design is apparently mosting likely to be much easier to assemble and have a heftier bar style, to name a few improvements. He says the brand-new base will be provided in both a “T-Leg” and also “C-Leg” arrangement, minimizing our issue about side-load worrying on the lifting columns.

If this brand-new base ever pertains to market we’ll update you right here. Yet we’re not holding our breath any longer as the most recent information on the business is that Yu closed the tiny Los Angeles workplace as well as has actually relocated it to join with all its various other staff members in southeast Asia.

In the meantime, a new $399 standing desk with impressive performance has actually been present via the brand-new joint endeavor between US-based iMovR as well as China-based Eureka, the i1 electrical standing workdesk. While restricted in size and shade choices, it has taken the mantle far from StandDesk’s long-ago standing as the very best standing workdesk under $400.
