A bit late to the party, but I do have a question about something not very many people have done or at least documented anywhere. I'm looking to go for a long format (something like a 98" top, could sacrfice some if needed) combination of top and stand. There's absolutely no stand on the market that is designed to accomodate these types of formats. How would you go about it? Or am I completely delusional to even try it?

I'm thinking of going with a Jarvis or Flexispot E8 and some alex drawers outside of those to support the overhanging sides of the top when it's in sitting height. The main problems arise when thinking about the standing height. How may the wobble be? Especially if I end up choosing a solid wood top that's heavier than other wood types?

I was thinking of getting the right height calibrated for my personal use and install something like a duck-mouth buckle to the desk, to latch onto the wall. This should give some wobbling stability, but I'm not sure about weight support.

How thick of a top should you have, I bought a 3/4 in thick plywood top, already got it pained and sealed, I hope the screws don’t go through the top

What are your thoughts of using a tempered glass top into the standing desk frame? I have an existing glass top that stands in two fixed legs. Would the weight of the glass top keep it steady?

I have a LARGE top I would like to pair with a stand/sit frame. It's approx 6'11" x 2'11.75" x 1.75" and unknown weight but heavy. What are my options?
