What are /r/StandingDesks' favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

are your monitor arms rigid mounts, where you have to release tension to adjust? mine wobbled like crazy (different desk) but then I got gas spring mounts and the problem was completely fixed because the springs absorb all the shaking rather than the monitors

Let's see a pic so we can see where to help.

My first thought is to anchor the legs to the wall at the highest point that is not moving with the up/down stuff.

Another option is to get some universal T-Tracks mounted to the wall with your choice of bolts or sliders attached to your table. Keep them dry-lubed with graphite or Teflon spray and you should be good.

Of course, all of this is assuming your desk is against a wall. Post some pics.

I have the fezibo desk from amazon it’s 48x24. I have dual monitors on a clamp on arm. Full KB/Mouse and secondary work laptop with plenty of room, oh and a set of speakers.

It gets the job done. But I’ll replace the top in a few months with a butcher block one

Can’t beat it for the price

Exactly this. I have this mount and it works perfectly with two monitors side by side when used in the grommet hole. There was not enough clearance when mounting to the back of the desk.

Ignore the mess

Of course, it's compatible with any VESA mountable monitors: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M2AJMOH/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_imm_P8P4JBFQABQTT5REZ5GH?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Also, from left to right, my monitors are: Dell U2419H, Dell P2419H, and Dell U2417H.

I'm not sure they did announce it I checked their social media and didn't see it on there. I actually found out because I got an alert on slick deals that it was on sale https://slickdeals.net/share/iphone_app/t/11961327

you could try just a voltage converter. not sure of the wattage of your motor, so check that before buying. here's one that's good up to 50 watts ~ https://www.amazon.com/Watt-Step-Down-Converter-International/dp/B077CFPD1T/ref=sr\_1\_1?keywords=220+to+110+voltage+converter

Check out this article. https://lifehacker.com/build-a-diy-wide-adjustable-height-ikea-standing-desk-5739296

I built this desk and really enjoy it. I suggest only getting half of the top part that way you have a big space for your drawing or whatever. But this way it allows you to also set up computer if that is something you are interested in.

If I understand correctly now, you want it pushed all the way back, so it ends up sitting under the rear portion of the desk, past your knees? You'd definitely need some longer slider rails for that.

Another, easier, option that could work is a rolling keyboard stand - https://www.amazon.com/Plixio-Piano-Keyboard-Stand-Wheels/dp/B079YWMH91

I just got this desk and it’s built really well, I mounted my pc underneath it and it’s been very sturdy ( tap the holes first!) I was very impressed with the build quality when it arrived, plus setup is super easy. Great color options too

Definitely recommend

That’s the base I have. I have a lot of overhang on the sides!

My cloudy understanding is that you have one laptop and one external monitor? And you want to mount the laptop next to the monitor? If so, you'll need something like this - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072QZ2XZ3

Fwiw if you're looking for a frame I've really liked this one VIVO Electric Dual Motor Standing Desk Frame for 43 to 79 inch Table Tops, Frame Only, Ergonomic Standing Height Adjustable Base with Push Button Memory Controller, Black, DESK-V122EB https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08GNRS8BJ/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_QTQJTKXM5TV2YQEBNEJF?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Hi! Thanks for the detailed response!

Yeah the weight is my main concern. My PC is 15Kg, and the mount I have bought (this) says is supports 30Kg, so it should be ok, but will approach with caution (maybe a cushion underneath for a while!)

I've had this FlexiSpot for 5 months and it's been great. Yeah it wobbles a bit at maximum height but I'm not trying to repair watches on my standing desk.. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08QHR3JMH

Find your own table top new or used, then add a base like the vivo dual motor. I just did this with an existing Ikea gerton solid wood top, it's fantastic.

Been seeing posts about ways to mount computers so I decided I should post my setup.

The desk is just CNC plywood. I haven't bothered to finish it since I already have designs for the next revision. The next revision will completely capture the lifter legs, have less right angles for a fancier look (plus more strength) and should fix the curling corners issue.

Lifters: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BDHL71N/?th=1

I'm pretty close to the advertised limit of the frame. I haven't any issues out of it except that sometimes it stops with a slight lean towards the UPS side and I have to go up and come back down to level it out.

Started doing some more brainstorming, and came across this swinging desk mount for monitors https://www.amazon.com/MOUNTPRO-Single-Monitor-Desk-Mount/dp/B07YWFPF39 . Maybe something like this could work, along with a small riser for the keyboard and mouse? Anyone ever had or tried something like this?

At the time of the post I used this monitor mount. I’ve since changed which monitors are on this desk and now use this mount.

I've had no issues with the electronics. In fact, I've worked with them quite a bit. I made my own internet enabled wifi controller that interfaces with the desk electronics.

The height range of this desk is really only ergonomic for people who between 6' and 6'2". Not sure about the quality.

Here are a couple good quality desks with better height range around the same price:

$300 - MAIDeSITe 3-Stage Dual Motor Ergonomic Sit Stand Desk, 47 x 24 Inches Black Frame/Black Top https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08PB8CT1K/

$360 - Flexispot 3 Stages Dual Motor Electric Standing Desk 48x24 Inches (Black Frame + Bamboo Curved Desktop) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09B1YHLBS/

Nope, no problems. Using this arm: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N5FTCJE/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1. It's more expensive than I'd like but the monitor is so heavy that the cheaper arms that I tried didn't work out.

I got a desk almost identical to the one you linked; I was able to get the 55" when it was only $109 (!) on sale, but has gone up to $160:

https://www.amazon.com/DEVAISE-Adjustable-Height-Standing-Handle/dp/B01COQZQOM

Because of the hardware I have, I wanted the 55" version, not the 47". I'd recommend keeping an eye out for this brand to see if there is another sale that gets you closer to your $100 mark

Previously I'd had a corner standing desk at my desk at work--which I wasn't allowed to requisition for off-site relocation--but I've found this desk to be very good for everything I've needed it for.

It's everything I've wanted from a standing desk, with only a few drawbacks that I'll mention:

• There's a slight flimsiness to it: the desk wobbles if you're moving it with too much of your body; writing can cause it to jiggle slightly; the frame hardware isn't as hard/thick as some of the $200+ recommendations usually made here
• Along with the previous, the hand crank has a little mechanical backlash/"slop" to it, but I've found it very handy relative to the electric motor I'd had on previous ones

But despite all of that, I absolutely don't think it could be beaten for the price. Frankly, even if I could get, say, triple the quality for double the price, I don't know that it would be worth the extra cost. (I'm also not trying to say that no quality improvement would be worth it, so much as my opinion of the value-per-dollar is really high on the desk).

I believe it’s this: Flash Furniture Sit-Down, Stand-Up Light Gray Computer Ergonomic Desk with 37.375''W Top (Adjustable Range 29'' - 40.75'') https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IHVFT5Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_C6RMA2926HTP1VACJCW0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I leave my monitors at the same height. I’m pretty happy with my mount especially for the low price.

Any tray should work. I recently installed this tray with my Fully Jarivs desk. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06W9L23NC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Fully sells two different cable management trays. One of them isn't large enough for my Macbook's charging adapter and the other one sticks out the back of the desk, which makes it much harder to flip the desk over if needed.

With any tray, you'll need to drill holes into the desktop to secure it.

I have two Vivo trays on my Jarvis/butcher block desk. The vivo trays are metal and have plenty of space for surge protectors and wiring.

Good return policy and good warranty - so worth a go

Sorry for the long time before replying, but here is what I used.

I put these inserts into the bottom of the desktop where the mounting points for my base unit needed to go. I used the included drill bit to drill out the hole for the insert and then screwed the insert into it's home in the desktop.

Then I used these screws to hold the base unit to the desktop and into the inserts that I installed on the previous step.

Mounting the desktop this way allows me to take it down and move it in the future without breaking anything off :)

I started with a sit/stand setup at work in the before times (pre-covid). Now at home I have a sit/stand desk with monitor arms (have them raised higher when standing), along with a height/tilt adjustable keyboard tray. I found that helps with both my arm ergonomics as well as reduces screen bounce from typing as the keyboard tray absorbs some of the bounce itself.

Link to keyboard tray: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BZ1Z6ZS

I also bought it from amazon warehouse to save a few dollars and haven't regretted that decision at all.

There are so many companies now that offer stand desks and it’s really hard to pick one unless you read all of the reviews and do lots of research. I had a similar situation when I was looking for my standing desk, but want I frame only because I wanted to build my own top. I eventually found a frame that would support a good work (total top lbs.) and was reliable on Amazon. The frame only was like $259

UNICOO - Electric Stand Up Desk Frame with Dual Motor, 3 Stage Up Lifting Legs, Rise UP Electric Adjustable Height and Width Standing Desk Frame with 4 Memory Keypad (Dual Motor Frame - Black) https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B08436BT53/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_KQ30431AXX6YN637N7W7

Assuming it is using Linak (most Uplify models seem to use them), you could replace the paddle with this: Linak – DPG1C Desk Panel – Deskline Serie – Led Display – Up to 4 Memorized Positions – Up/down Drive – Light Strip Reminder – Bluetooth for Linak Desk Control App – Black – 62 Inches Cable Included

I bought this generic desk frame on Amazon, googled the part number on the side of the box and figured out it was this brand. I don't have it fully set up yet, but it seems to be solid and work well based on my basic tests.

That link is to the manufacturer who probably doesn't sell directly to consumers which is why you'd have to find someone who sells them.

We just got the Topsky $200 one off Amazon after watching that youtube video last week and it seems super sturdy and wasn't hard to put together yesterday.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08C2LC3H2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_SOUbGbJ84APA5?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I have similar table and bought this Dual Arm monitor arm.

Hmm I guess it depends. I don’t use my laptop and prefer it that way, if you use yours then maybe a cheap-ish laptop or monitor stand might work. then set that to the left or right of your monitors.

You could always try something static (books, boxes, etc) to see if you like the monitors/laptop at different heights.

2 legs also can do a L shaped desk, we can get some project orders that they will ask one leg and on side bracket longer than another, then it would be a L-shaped, looks like this one (https://www.amazon.com/Caesar-Hardware-Adjustable-Ergonomic-Automatic/dp/B082PMHSHJ/ref=sr_1_58?dchild=1&keywords=L+shaped+standing+desk&qid=1608366279&sr=8-58), but it seems not very popular. and 3 legs L-shaped desk would be sturdy than 2 legs.

no comments for these desks, hope the real users can give some recommends. haha

I think this would work even better if I can find it in black.

As soon as I posted this, I found:

I think it might work, but other suggestions are still appreciated. I still need to figure out the UPS and subwoofer. The sub might have to go in the back right corner of the desk.

So I have this dual monitor stand https://www.amazon.com/HUANUO-Monitor-Adjustable-Computer-Management/dp/B072J1CSCD/ which I just attached today to my Jarvis 60" desk using the clamp mount rather than the bolt (it supports both). And I will say this: having the monitors on the mount has reduced the shakiness to almost nothing. I am only using the "forearm" parts of the arms. I opted not to use the upper arms as I feel that would reduce some stability, but I also don't need to twist my monitors much. Just set and forget.

Granted, my dell monitors were on their original crappy stands which had a lot of flex. But in my experience, the mount has actually greatly improved stability of the monitors.

you can try our frame, in Canada, they will be shipped from Amazon FBA, and I have asked my colleague, they have been sold out, and the new stocks will be back in stock the end of Nov.

I've used something like this on 2 different desks: https://www.amazon.com/Under-Desk-Cable-Management-Tray/dp/B08282RGV7

I usually mount 2 trays towards the back. One holds the power strip and the other holds any power bricks. I've tried other solutions like command strips and pvc tubes, but I find this to work the best.

I went third party off Amazon just to save money. This Vivo model to be exact.

I bought this desk used around 2 years ago for $650 from what I think was a Boeing office that was closing down and selling off equipment.

I use it with this footpad when I'm standing. When I'm sitting I use a Herman Miller Embody or a Herman Miller Mirra 2 chair.

I like it enough. I'd say I probably sit about 75% of the time. I like this desk a lot because it's so deep but it's very heavy. I use it with a 43" 4k monitor that is mounted on an Amazon Basics monitor arm so I can move it all around the desk at will.

My desk is a little wobbly but it isn't something I notice. It only happens when it's higher up than I would normally stand and I intentionally try and rock it. However, the surface does rock slightly because it is mounted to the chassis of the desk by simple bolts and rectangular plates.

My motor has had 0 issues but this is a really high end desk. I've heard anecdotally a lot of the cheaper brands have motors that burn out after a year or so of use. I imagine with minimal use and proper maintenance they would last a long time though.

I think I found a photo of the ash gray + metallic combo: https://www.amazon.ca/Standing-Desk-GREENGUARD-Adjustable-Industrial/dp/B07RTZCR6P

So this is trash? I was about to change my ikea bekant desk... https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07TVKT4BL/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I'm 5'10 and recently bought an Uplift V2 (48x30) without the crossbar. I have a 34" ultrawide monitor, and keep my PS4, Macbook Pro, Sony Camcorder on a desk mic mount, and a Elgato Key Light Air, and other supporting accessories on my desk. When lowered, the desk is completely stable, but when standing I do notice some wobble. Unfortunately from research, I saw this is pretty common and "the way it is" for standing desks. Having already mounted an Elfa Utility Pegboard to the back of the desk, for cable management, I decided I needed a solution for wobble. I purchased a Support Rod from Task Tools. and it seems to help a lot.

My monitor now barely wobbles when I'm pounding away at my keyboard, but there is a slight shake on the Key Light and Camera. These are top-heavy things on long skinny stands though, so I think their design really amplifies the little shake. The wobble overall is still miles better with the support rod.

It is a little inconvenient to have to set up the rod when raising the desk and removing it to lower it, but it helps a lot, and is quite easy. Press a button on the rod to extend or collapse. I am being extra careful not to apply to much pressure to the desk to harm the motor or mechanisms, but so far it's been a great fix and after spending $1600 for a ultimately awesome desk, the extra $22 for a rod that eliminates the wobble, isn't terrible. I'll also reiterate, the inconvenience is minor. Yes, it's not as convenient as the touch of a button, but it's good to have if you need a wobble solution and I only need it when standing.

Below is an IKEA Signum for cable management (not included in $350 price).

Link to frame: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HJJLLML/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fab_eXnCFbQMMPTPP

Link to table top: https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/gerton-tabletop-beech-50106773/

Feel free to ask any questions!

a cable management rack fs. depending on what desk you buy you can usually get one included. If not included, signum racks by IKEA or alternatives. After that, you can get the usual stuff, cable clips, velcro straps, velcro strips, etc. If you really want to cable manage the one cord that is inevitably going to go down, you can get a cable spine like this, which keeps its shape like a raceway but is able to move up and down with your table. Personally, I don't think you need it unless you really want to keep things tidy.

If you want other accessories that are not for cable management you can look at the VIVO store or for cheaper alternatives. They have pc mounts, drawers, keyboard drawers. There's a lot of customization.

Hope that helps

I had a vivo - not a vari. I think it’s this model: VIVO Black Height Adjustable 36 inch Stand up Desk Converter Quick Sit to Stand Tabletop Dual Monitor Riser (DESK-V000V) https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B0784HWPN6

I’m 6’2 and just scored a great one on Amazon for roughly $350 USD it’s the TechOrbits one: TechOrbits Electric Standing Desk Frame 60 x 24 Inch Tabletop - Motorized Workstation Two Leg Stand Up Desk with Memory Settings and Telescopic Sit Stand Height Adjustment (Black Frame/Wood Top) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0849V8TJL/ .... has 4 position memory. I’ve been doing the standing desk thing for a decade and this is my favorite one so far.

just measured your desk foot leveler screws, then you can comparing the screws on any amazon pages, like ours, our foot leveler screws is M8, and the length is 0.59".. the link of ours https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0894RKS3G

maybe ours are not fit uplift desks, you need to check it from your own desk... with some very simple measure, you can get the casters quickly.

choose a L shaped standing desk ,and the wobble is very little. I use L shaped desk now, it is stable and much space for me.

you can try this on amazon

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0834SSM1M

I bought the Fully Jarvis frame and supplied my own top.

WRT casters, I don't suggest buying the ones from Fully or Uplift, they are rebranded generics with a 100% price increase. Both Fully and Uplifts desks take stem casters that are M8x15mm - the 'stem' and 'M8' being the most important parts. I bought the following off of Amazon and simply shortened the stem length from 25mm to ~15 mm - I used a Dremel, but it can easily be done with a cheapo hacksaw and a metric rule: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07VVHSDN7/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I use this from Amazon and love it. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XDC11PJ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_yjK.EbAYW2Y7M It has a single motor vs dual motors, but I've got 3 24" screens and it's no issue, going strong 3+ years. You can use any table top you want. You then can spend a ton more on comfortable chair.

Hey I just wanted to give an update.

I am looking at the LX model. In the reviews for it on amazon...someone mentioned if I am going to be using this with a standing desk that I shouldbuy the "tall pole" version of it.

https://www.amazon.com/Desk-Mount-LCD-Tall-Pole/dp/B00358RIRC/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=ergotron%2Blx%2Btall%2Bpole&qid=1591211053&s=electronics&sr=1-2&th=1

​

Now I can't decide....any advice would be great.

Yeah, that's what I figured, but I wanted to make sure. I was looking at this one: https://www.amazon.com/Lihidesk-Electric-Height-Adjustable-Standing/dp/B06XZ451SZ/ref=sr_1_7?dchild=1&keywords=motorized%2Bsit%2Bstand%2Bframe&qid=1591104208&refinements=p_85%3A2470955011&rnid=2470954011&rps=1&sr=8-7&th=1

Since it has decent reviews on amazon and will ship quickly. What are your opinions on this one?

I'm not sure how big your monitors are, but I have two 28" 4k Samsung monitors mounted to this Echogear monitor stand and it's been incredibly solid.

No wobbling issues when I move my desk from sitting to standing or back again. I also have 2 mechanical keyboards and haven't noticed any wobbling.

Setup and fine tuning took some time, but the adjustments this mount allows are really slick.

I've provided an Amazon link, but I believe the Echogear site offers 10% off all the time - and the code they give is good on Amazon, too.

I work from home full time and am barefoot 100% of the time in my home.

You need to spend a bit of extra money here, but I've had really good experiences with:

• Sky Solutions Anti-Fatigue Mat - $40 on Amazon

• I then upgraded to the Topo Comfort Mat by ErgoDriven - $99

The Sky Solutions mat is excellent, didn't compress over time, etc. We still use it, just at the sink in our kitchen now. The only issue is at my desk I found that I'd basically just stand in one place all day and eventually my feet would fatigue a bit. This was after wasting money on other mats that eventually flattened out over time.

The Topo mat, while not as squishy/comfortable on the flat area as the Sky Solutions mat (it's still nice), has all these different angles that make me move my foot positioning a lot more throughout the day. Additionally, there are a bunch of great angles to hit some calf stretches, ankle/foot stretches, a quasi-lacrosse ball to press/flex your plantar fascia/toes, etc.

If you are on a budget Sky Solutions is great. If you want something that really promotes foot/lower leg/hip health and slight movement throughout your day, Topo is 100% worth it. I absolutely love this thing.

This is the one I was looking at:

I haven't bought this yet, but I have the same issue with a 43in LG monitor. This one is what I saw recommended before

I have three of these. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00WACDNXW

​

One on my standing desk at home (it's a treadmill) for my keyboard and trackpad (MAC) while my laptop and monitor are on arm mounts.

​

Two others are at work that I use for my keyboard and mouse. Ultra adjustable and versatile.

Can't comment on exactly that, but I have this desk, and the center piece of all MDF. I currently have a triple arm monitor mount clamped to the center with 3x Samsung C27HG70 displays on it, and those displays aren't exactly light (bulky, curved, 27 in, etc.). You'd be surprised how strong MDF is in these situations. It's extremely dense and under this type of load, it's perfectly capable. Where it fails is when you start screwing into it and such, as the threads won't hold up and are liable to stripping easily, due to MDF being tiny particles glued together.

The main thing I bought for cable management is some raceway, one section of this here that I then cut up into three sections, and used two on the desk: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00066HOPM

There are a variety of options for tidying up - modesty panels that have pouches for cables, adhesive-backed loops/straps, trays, raceways, and good ol' zip ties are the ones off the top of my head. I went with the raceway because it was low profile and the cheapest option. I then mounted a surge protector underneath at the end of the raceway, mine's a Tripp Lite that I bought because it has a slightly longer 7' cord with a right-angle plug, and keyhole mounts on the underside so I could use screws (most have this, but there's always 3M mounting tape if not).

Vertical screens are great for general IT work if you're in that field.

I didn't buy the Jarvis mount. The ones I use are clamp based, and can be mounted anywhere along the edge except where the gromets are. I think it's this (or a related sku) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CEHME92/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_qcinAbEC2KFAC. I feel like I read somewhere to skip the jarvis mount and go 3rd party, but I can't remember exactly.

I can't imagine the Jarvis mount is pre-mounted to the desk. I'd bet money that it's not.

Also, aesthetically these are beautiful and may be a space saver for you: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071RWKNF2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_SginAbKGXDT17

Also keep in mind that your 68" profile may have some curvature to it, as you will want screens turned towards you.

A Bedside Table as seen in a hospital, would that not be as sufficient ? https://www.amazon.com/Medical-Adjustable-Overbed-Bedside-Hospital/dp/B06Y6L4XG2/ref=sr_1_4_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1511096157&sr=8-4&keywords=bedside+table+hospital

I was going to, but in the interim I bought this (relatively) cheap desktop thing on Amazon and it works really well (takes about twenty seconds to adjust from sitting to standing) so I haven't felt the need to upgrade yet. But obviously something like the Bell'o desk is a more elegant solution.

I know you don't have a mouse and keyboard, but it might be worth getting both of those and using something like this from Amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/Spark-Ergodriven-Perfect-Standing-Medium/dp/B01GGNV6VQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1489170852&sr=8-1&keywords=cardboard+standing+desk

If you don't use an external mouse and keyboard attached to your laptop while using a standing desk, you'll probably end up with some neck/shoulder pain from either looking down (if your hands are in an ergonomic position) or raising your hands too much (if your head is in an ergonomic position).

They might not being on your shopping list, but if you are studying for awhile, it'll really help!

Yeah I was thinking of adding a gas monitor arm, something like this: https://www.amazon.com/VIVO-Monitor-Deluxe-Screens-STAND-V002D/dp/B00M4D395O/

The process would be as follows:

When going to Standing Position: 1. Press button to raise desk to standing position 2. Manually lift the monitors up to eye level (24" above desk)

When going to Sitting Position: 1. Press button to lower desk to sitting position 2. Manually lower monitors down to eye level (19" above desk)

Kind of annoying that after spending so much money on a motorized desk I still have to manually adjust the monitor height each time.

Sorry for the late reply. I don't get on here very much.

I used a generic pack of bed risers that I got on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/Greenco-Strong-Furniture-Design-Storage/dp/B01CG8QW3W/ref=zg_bs_3732271_2/164-4782299-6161933).

I placed the entire desk, with casters on the bed risers. Removing the casters would have resulted in a 1-2" reduction in height. The casters can lock and orientating the wheels at 0, 90, 180, and 270 degrees results in no horizontal movement when working.

The setup I am using seems to work and lowering the desk to its lowest position still allows me to sit in my computer chair and work.

I would highly recommend a standing desk. My posture has improved and I have noticed an improvement in my lower back tone. The desk is also neat because you can force yourself to do leg exercises, i.e. squats and calf raises, and it slowly becomes second nature. My gf walked by my office yesterday and asked me what the hell I was doing and I was unknowingly doing squats.

Good luck!!

Have you checked out the Varidesk (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JI6NCCK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_OCTdxbTBZ8CXM). Based upon your needs, it would likely fit the bill.

The only possible catch is that it weighs 50 lbs.

I have the Varidesk Pro 48 Plus right now. The key for taller people is to get a monitor stand. I got this one: link and it works great. I'm 6 ft. even and would have at least 6" of extra height available if needed.

My cheap ass was looking at models like this: http://www.amazon.com/Mount--Articulating-Computer-Monitors-MI-752/dp/B0052AWGLE/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1432039715&sr=8-3&keywords=monitor+arm

or

hoping that there was an upgraded version of that with enough on the fly height adjustment to allow a standing position.
