    Thanks for confirming that a cheap standing desk is absolutely worth it! Got a 63" for less than $100, can't beat that. Not trying to jack up a car at lightning speed so go cheap!

      @@freedonx "DoNt BUy So MuCh CofFEe" you do realize that even with saving up as much as you can many people still can't always justify the cost of a nice standing desk, or anything that's multiple hundreds of dollars?
      Like I've been saving up for a medical procedure and I make 21 bucks an hour, more than a lot of people.
      I don't go anywhere on the weekends, I only grocery shop once every like 3 weeks because thank god I currently only live by myself.
      I qualify for reduced rent that is still 524 bucks a month and combining all my bills I shill out about 637 bucks a month.
      Over the past 2 months I've just been able to save up about 5000 bucks on top of what I had in there already, and now I'm at 7.2k.
      Dropping 300-500 alone for a decently good standing desk would take a sizable chunk out of that already, and more than that is an absurd thought to me right now.
      Even if I wasn't saving up for a time sensitive medical procedure, I'd hesitate to spend that much on just a desk when there are other more pressing things in my, and other people's, lives.
      It ain't as fucking clear cut "muh starbucks and iphone"

    Thank you for this review! ❤️ I bought a Egofit walking treadmill because I want to use it with a standing desk. Have you done a review on standing desks that can be used with an under desk treadmill? I was on Amazon looking for a desk, and found this review video, which saved me and helped me realize that I shouldn’t purchase any of these desks because of your push test. I don’t think I could afford an $800 desk. It would be nice to find a something in a lower price range where stability is my main concern.

    There's an old adage that the "poor man pays twice", once for the cheap product and again for the product they should have bought in the first place. I'm not saying that to be arrogant, but just saying that by paying a bit more you may, get a product with better reliabity. In regards to these tops, when can just buy an Ikea Karlby counter-top and perhaps cut it to the length needed, though a 73" length would be fine for many. Anyway, thank you for the review and your opinions.

      I dont like you right now (joking). You are absolutely right and I'm glad I looked at your comment because I tend to buy quality rather than a cheap item. It does usually end up costing as much if not more when adding the cost of both purchases plus the reduced productivity.

    • @Cowboy684

      It's realistic if you mount a heavy solid wood desktop on it, plan to lean on your desk at all, place your feet up on it while leaning back in your chair, or load 3 monitors, speakers, and a pc case on it. If all you plan to put on it is a laptop and never lean on it etc, then by all means buy cheap but don't expect the motor to last long even under light loads.

    In truth, a person really needs two status, standing and sitting. My main concern would be the warranty and what specifically covers. Especially with the motors, cords, and frame. The desk can be replace with better wood or metal sheets.

    I would take reviews from these people with a grain of salt, they have so many videos so it would seem they're credible but they're not. They've already been taken to court for misinformation on standing desk wobble. Then they say the only ones worth buying are double the price and to use the link they post, all the desk are over $500.00 usd. Look for other realistic reviews, no one I know is going to put cinder blocks on a desk and wobble it, probably just needed to balance the feet for weight distribution anyway.

      You can do better than this. Just because our shady competitor didn’t like our content, doesn’t mean it wasn’t true. The case was dismissed and when they tried to appeal, they were laughed out of court.
      They’ve tried to do the same with Wirecutter when they didn’t pick their desk. When they don’t get their way, they try to use muscle. Do a deep dive into Xdesk and Evodesk, I think you’ll change your tune pretty quick.
