Apparently Ikea has a powered standing desk that costs ~$500 http://iamnotaprogrammer.com/Ikeas-own-standing-desk.html http://iamnotaprogrammer.com/Ikeas-own-standing-desk.html I haven't been able to find one yet.
- arielweisberg 12y agoI have one. It's ok. It's not very stable so the monitor arm I attached wobbled with the LG-34UM95 I have. It was a cheap arm and a cheap desk. A cheap desk with a better arm might have turned out better. I am kind of wishing I had looked at a few more desks, but I worked things out by shimming the monitor arm and putting 110 pounds of lead on the desk to stabilize it. I hope that doesn't burn the motor out! The sit/stand functionality works well. If you go to Ikea you can see one in person in the US. Their stock info was wrong when I went and they didn't have the regular desk only the corner desk which was 100$ more.
- cpbotha 12y agoI bought that desk in 2013 and have been using it ever since, would not be able to go back to a normal desk. The secret is definitely that it should be adjustable, that is you should be able to vary between sitting and standing. I switch about 4 to 5 times per day. It's glaringly obvious that you're not supposed to stand and work the whole day. I don't understand how the author of the linked post (and many other "standing desks suck" articles) didn't realize this.
