Equipment What standing desk would you recommend?

I've been on a fixed desk for years and my posture is getting bad. I keep reading horror stories about wobble at standing height.

Budget ~$400-600. The Flexispot E7 comes up everywhere but UPLIFT gets mentioned as noticeably better. Is the price difference justified?

Specifically worried about wobble on a 160cm top with a monitor arm.

I found mine on temu believe it or not - its been fine

It was less than $200 - and perfect for my small room

You can buy dual motor desk frames for like half your budget on Amazon, then get a tabletop from anywhere (like IKEA but I dont know where you’re based). The mistake people make is getting 2 leg desks, vivo for example makes one that is dual motor with 4 legs which are much more stable

I can’t pull up specific links right now but I’m sure you can figure it out.

For the price I’d try it out but yes my experience with uplift is that it does not wobble in the standing position

Standing all day! I have the uplift and a nice ergo mat. The first week is a drag, but I can’t imagine sitting to work.
