I wanted to hate it (ANOTHER standing desk disciple???), but after watching the video, it seems pretty cool. I like the ability to quickly go from sit to stand without a bunch of drama. Only question is the cost. We really need something in the sub $200 range.

Who is this "we" you're talking about. Well-designed, well-constructed equipment that makes me more productive and lasts a lifetime is worth it.

There's various options (such as the famous Ikea end tables + shelf design) that are much cheaper. That said, this particular design seems nice, and if it is decent quality, then it is likely worth $400.

Well, if you live near an IKEA, you can do a nice one for $200 + tax. Solid wood top ($79.99): http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/50106773/ http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/50106773/ Four legs ($120.00): http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/60261626/ http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/60261626/

  wobbly IMO. I used: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/10117561/ http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/10117561/ But this is a lower height than mine, so anyone under 6' would need bed risers (it has 3" extendable feet).

  I wish I could, but I'm 6'2". I calculated my height needs to be about 46"-48" (would have to play with it when I got it assembled). The legs go max 42 1/4". I'd rather have the desk itself be at that height and not have to put something else on it (like smaller desk or box). I can't find Ikea legs that go that height.

"We really need something in the sub $200 range." I don't think that's going to be possible. A basic desk from ikea is $200.
