🔥 DON'T BUY A STANDING DESK!

👍🏻 Piece one together instead! I have spent months looking for a good standing desk, but most fall short in quality.

🥺 Thing is, 99% of what you find online will have a cheap tabletop & will be over $500.

🤔 I wanted something a bit better, but I didn’t have a ton of money to spend.

This is what I did:

📌 Go on Amazon and buy the motorized legs without a tabletop. I chose the brand Topsky because they had great reviews, were affordable, and dual motor (smoother/faster lift).

📌 Look locally for someone selling a butcher block countertop or get one from Lowe’s as I did. Mine is 72” long and 1.5” thick so it’s super heavy duty. The butcher block cost me $220 but is worth every penny.

For my office chair, I have been using the Herman Miller Aeron for years and LOVE IT. The retail price is really crazy, but you can find them used for $3-450.

⚠️ I want you to care about your workspace and body. STOP using desks that don’t adapt to you and sitting on garbage chairs. Your body will pay for it eventually!

Building mine this week. I chose the same legs. Adding a charging port into the tabletop. Staining to match my bedroom set since it will be going over the bed.

That Herman Miller Aeron chair was a steal for 350 bucks, even if used and in good shape. I know because mine cost me just over 1500 bucks (new).

Build mine in 2020, with hard curly maple wood. It's big at 90" by 33". I love it and use it every day. Need to clean it though. 😅

Details on the thing you're standing on? Looks super comfy.

Might need double-legs on each side if someone plans to put 3 monitors (27") side-by-side, too much wobble, monitors will be mounted with table-clamp style monitor arms

Recommend getting scooter wheels for ur chair, you glide on carpets

Actually with 150 to 300 you can buy a fully working table, no need to build one. Unless you can make it under 80 dollars.

He just got a "height adjustable table frame only"

Hi and thanks for sharing. Would you please share an updated link? I tried to find the topsky one but is sold out. Many thanks.

I can literally get a standing desk on Amazon for like 70 bucks. Why would I pay 1000?

[Kevin]

were you able to just put the butcher block from lowe's on top of the standing legs? Or did you have to drill/bracket them into it?

Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. (Isaiah 55:7)
Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning: And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil. (Joel 2:12-13)

Where do i find the control unit for the standing desk? I can't find a supplier, its not on ebay nor amazon.

[Justfriends]

I got one from streamstop and I love mine

[jakev]

How stable is this desk? Does your monitor shake a lot?

[jackheffernan]

Bought a 2 layer standing desk on Amazon for 300.

[Minnieme]

Pay over a $1000 for something you could get for under $200, makes since…..this is ridiculous you should take this down, why would anyone one with a sane mind do this?

[lunatikhumor]

I bet he’s gonna log on into bad websites that he is not supposed be on 😂

[jahmez]

Where'd you find an aeron for 350💀

[syncrovanCos]

This feels kinda nonsense! Why to spend so much, when you can find quality ones, ready to install, around 250€ on Amazon, everything included?
