So I caved and bought a standing desk πŸ’ͺ

Me too! I didn't even have a regular desk before. Today is my first day in 3 months not working from the couch πŸ˜„

Any recos?

I gambled on this one because my budget was around $300. This one has mixed reviews but it seems like most of the bad reviews are from loose wires which is a fairly easy fix (at least with my dad on the phone helping me). It took me about 40 min to set up, one of the easiest pieces of furniture I've ever put together honestly. I just set it up yesterday so it's too early to tell if it'll have problems but so far it's working perfectly! https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GVRKCWP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

@Tara McQuaide I've been using the IKEA Skarsta for a year or so - did a bunch of research and came to the conclusion that it was the best value for money around - manual hand-crank saves $$$

i LOVE it. stand about 90% of the day now

All good options! $239 for manual vs $299 for automatic that might break.
I wonder if the extra $60 at that point makes the difference . Hand-crank seemed slow?

I use the hand crank IKEA Skarsta too. Hand crank is effortless and works noiselessly. Works as my daughter's table for her online kindergarten school in the morning and as my desk for the rest of the day πŸ˜€
