Ask HN: What sit/stand desk should I buy for home?
Title says it all, I'm setting up a home office and am going to buy myself a nice sit/stand desk.
- locococo 9y agoIKEA has a great desk the Bekant
- akg_67 9y agoI have an Autonomous.ai motorized sit/stand desk. It is much more sturdier and stable than similar desks from IKEA.
- allwein 9y agoBumping this. I also have an Autonomous desk and it's amazing. Super solid and also relatively cheap. I'm also pleased by the fact of having 4 stored settings so I don't have to manually adjust each time.
- akulbe 9y agoI'll go against the grain here. I think moving is better than just standing. I'd get a treadmill desk. Lifespan Fitness makes a treadmill that goes under a desk, and then you can use whatever desk you want. In my configuration, I have a desk I bought from a local vendor. It has a motor that raises and lowers the desk, and I mount a VESA arm to the middle of the desk. On the right side, I have the treadmill. On the left side, I have a chair. I alternate between the two positions. Here's a picture: https://www.dropbox.com/s/089qqvaa7j5ob77/office_setup.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/089qqvaa7j5ob77/office_setup.jpg?d... I make use of the Pomodoro Technique while I'm working... so I'm typically walking for 25 minute cycles, then 5 minute breaks between. A long break every 4 cycles, and I sit down for all the breaks.
- alexgaribay 9y agoI bought a Jarvis Standing Desk[1] when I transition to a 100% remote job. I love my desk and I love the motorized feature. You can select from various widths with various adding. It's not cheap but it has been worth every penny to me. [1] https://www.fully.com/jarvis-standing-desk.html https://www.fully.com/jarvis-standing-desk.html
