r/StandingDesk

I’m currently trying to figure out how to turn this into a standing desk with out tearing anything out, does anyone have any suggestions? Also sorry for the mess, in the middle of cleaning right now, and haven’t figured out where I want to put the stuff in the top row

I Found this desk on Facebook marketplace. It is a vari prodesk 48x30. A new one off their website is 799$. Is this a good desk and worth 250. The person selling says he has had it for 2 years and no problems with it.

So my budget is about 300 for a good standing desk that is large (at least 70 inches) and I was originally planning on getting one from Amazon, but after doing some research, I realized that they will probably suck because they come in 3 pieces, they can’t hold that much weight and and they don’t go too low.

So I found this one on Facebook marketplace. It goes super low and super high too. There’s also no tax. We agreed to do 325$ cash.

So yea is 325$ a good price for a Fully Jarvis 30 x 72 standing desk?

Hello, as post mentions, I do suffer from OCD and acknowledge I'm likely participating in a compulsion as I post this but I just finished building a standing desk and am worried one of the screws may be slightly crooked.

• Should I screw it in more to try and equalize it? It seems like it won't go any further but wondering if I should try to keep screwing it?
• Is there any concern about this affecting the structure of the desk going forward?
• Should I remove the screw and rescrew?

Thank you everyone, sorry if this seems silly.

I was working at a coworking space. most of my time, but recently they announced they’re shutting down the location. Today is actually the last day. I bought the desk from them for $250, but then ended up getting all these other items I needed, including monitors and monitor stand and monitor arm and MacBook stand. Overall, I’m really happy with my setup. Just thought I’d share.

I have set one button on my desk for sitting and another for standing, but I am not sure what to save on the third one.

I know its just another customizable height, but I only work alone usually switch between the same positions. I was thinking maybe lower height for writing by hand, a walking pad height later on or just keeping it for someone else who uses the desk.

Do you guys use all 3 presets?

Hello, I need some advice on a desk for my setup. I dont know if I want a standing desk or a regular one. I currently have a laptop which I want to mount on an arm or on a stand, and im looking into ultrawide monitor on an arm (thinking g9). I would also like to have a small shelf or monitor riser to mount my galaxy tablet. In the future I will add a workstation tower, would like to be able to mount it under desk.

The nook I want to install it is 64 in wide and 22.625 in depth, it then goes 10 and 3/8in deeper but at a width of 55 1/8 in.

Any advice ?

It had a... Not a keyboard tray (I loath keyboard trays)... a section of desk meant for your keyboard. It was exactly the same as the rest of the desk, about 1.5" thick, and without the gap to the rest of the desk it would be exactly like the rest of the desk. This little section of desk could raise/lower/positive tilt/negative tilt. It was a hydraulic release to raise and lower and the tilt was a big hand driven machined screw to tighten and lock it in place. If you had no tilt set and had it at the same level as the rest of the desk it would be as if it didn't exist other than the air gap.

I want this back so badly and I've searched through 1000's of images looking for something that is even close to similar and I have been unsuccessful. My old job was a corner desk that had this, but I'd just be looking for a straight on square version.

Does anyone know what this would be called? It's not a tray, as describing it as such just yields the wrong search results, so I've been calling it a independent ledge. Has anyone seen this desk or similar? It seems to be an old design that has been lost in the abundance of the new standing desk design.

When I first brought my standing desk, around Christmas las year, I assumed the whole point was to stand as much as possible. I'd force myself to stand up for long period, but it wasn't comfortable and it didn't fit all tasks. This lead to that I didn't use it at all instead. So I did a bit of googling and the research is quite clear that it's not healthy to stand for long durations either. The important thing is to change position frequently and to add a few movements breaks.

This is the routine that works for me now:

• Sit for about 30 minutes.
• Stand for about 20 minutes.
• Move around for about 5 minutes.

I'm a developer so I built deskrhythm.com to help me stick to this cadence. It's completely free and runs in your browser if you like to use it as well.

I wanted to create a more robust cord management channel for the Uplift V2 desk, especially considering the metal bar at the back does not give a good spot for mounting. The cable routing they provide is open at the back, and while you can cable manage with velcro, it still leaves a lot to be desired in my opinion.

Therefore, I created this. This organizer has multiple areas where you can attach velcro straps to (long ovals) holes for power plugs, and USB cables on either side (this would be for the power cables to the motors for the desk) and slots for routing cables up to the desk. It fits relatively well, but does need some spacers for the slim metal bars at the top. This is currently a screwed in model, but with enough 3M sticky tape I think I could get it to stay.

The only thing I need to account for is a power transformer block, as some of those could get pretty large (around 100 mm / 4 inches) which would make it a bit taller. The individual cable routing slots on the angled size are 8mm. Is there anything else I should account for? Is there something essential I am missing? Give me your edge cases!
