The Cheapest Motorized DIY Standing Desk On Amazon

If you're a do-it-yourselfer on a budget and are looking to upgrade to a motorized standing desk, you should consider one of the many electric standing desk frames on Amazon. The cheapest dual-motor unit I found, which can hold up to 225 pounds, costs only $200 and works with all sorts of different desk tops. Chances are you have a stationary desk at home, so why spend hundreds of dollars more on an all-in-one unit when you can pick up just the motorized frame?

Hello everyone! We made a follow-up video, mentioning some concerns and comparing it against an all-in-one motorized standing desk from FlexiSpot.

How stable is the desk when it is raised? Is there any wobble (side-to-side) motion?

[jimadams]

Great video, thank you for sharing. I have wanted a sit/stand desk for a while now but could not justify the cost. This makes it possible.

Bought this desk and man! I'm very impressed with the quality. guys if you're in the market for a dual motor desk this is the one! I have no doubts in this product. this video helped a lot with this purchase.

Searching for "Ikea countertop" lists a variety of tops that I think should work, ranging from $50 -$250 depending on how nice the wood is. I'm surprised that wasn't mentioned in the video or comments, that I saw. I'm seriously considering doing this, after seeing how well it worked.

How wobbly is the desk? I have a vonhaus electric standing desk and it drives me mad with the wobble. Thanks

[idaniel]

Thanks for sharing! Any chance you can check the motors manufacturer?

[TCAuno]

Where do you get the table top from and also you know you can cut the rgb strip to fight perfectly. It has cut lines on the strip showing where it’s safe to cut

[olpchk]

you forgot to mention the most important thing of a table: is it steady enough ? because many of these motorized tables just a wobbling crap

[vissionflamii]

Instantly recognized the brydge in the background! Awesome vid, thank you

Two questions: how long have you had it and how is it holding up over time?

[devinxharper]

I actually just found this exact same a few weeks ago and am very seriously considering doing this same thing with my desk.

So just over a year later - how has it held up? Are you still satisfied with it?

[JDMray]

Can you do a desk update video for long term review?

[michelejoerres]

Thank you for sharing. Question for you. Can you place the controls on either side of the desk? Thanks.

It's $249 at this moment. How do you like it after a year?

[claireedelweiss]

Thanks for sharing this video. Could you share the screw size and length? My table top is 140 by 60cm and weighing 21kg. I am not sure what kind of screw to hold it securely in place. Thanks in advance.

Mine is 2 months old and going strong. The worst part for me was waiting for the ÖVRARYD top to get back in stock at Ikea. I took his advice and saved a few hundred over the Ikea powered desk options.
Can't thank you enough. Black base and bamboo looks HOT.

Thank you for the video. Does your desk have wobble when it's standing position? Mine wobbles when I am typing on the keyboard. Its solidly on the ground. Do you have any suggestions?

[oliviaeff]

Wow you are awesome. I have been wanting to add this exact riser frame to my setup with the exact same desktop and wasn’t sure how well it would work so I kept holding off. Now I think I will pull the trigger on it. Thanks dude!

You answered my question. I have this super tall king size bed that I want a bed table for. Tablets, drinks, smoke sesh, etc... With a 7' wide bed it has to be custom made. Trust me, I've been looking for a king side bed table. Only one I found was nearly $1, 500. Hard pass! Glad you mentioned that it can be modified. Wasn't sure if the motor cables would be long enough. Glad I found your video. Thanks!

Note: They offer the option of cable management baskets. Not super cute, but could help.
