As the title suggests, I'm looking for a standing desk for a home office. Does anyone have any recommendations? Links appreciated. Am also wondering about some kind of DIY effort if anyone has done that

Thank you @Nattalie18 . I like that you can get them with real wooden tops and in a bigger than standard size.

Sorry for the insane link! I have this which is really sturdy and works brilliantly.

I have one for sale if only you were in my area. It’s on FB marketplace!!

Ours was from ikea, in the region of £200 and is pretty good.

Thanks all. @WheretheFishesareFrightening is yours the one with the hand crank? I quite liked that as an idea. @Hfiajfbdoflv that's probably a simpler solution. I was considering a diy job with some kind of box to stand the computer on when it felt like standing but your suggestion is more elegant

Yes the hand crank one!

But be careful if you crank it on a Teams call… DH did this and it looked like his hand was doing something… suspicious… under the desk, shall we say 😂

We’ve got an Ikea “Mittzon” and have no complaints - the rise and fall is smooth and lets you set 2 heights to remember. Liked that there are lots of different sizes of top. We will definitely get another one when we need to replace our other desk.

IKEA. The electric one. It’s fab

Electric IKEA. Works and have a low enough lowest point, which is useful for more creative positions like siting on a yoga mat to watch a quarterly company review.

I'm going to have to go and have a look at them IRL in Ikea
