I got this desk from a thrift store for like $40 like 2 years ago. During my time of owning, it got stuck at a really tall height once before and I managed to reset it somehow and it fixed itself. Except it wouldn't sit all the way at the physical bottom limit. It would always park just a little bit above it. I decided that was fine and have delt with it being slightly taller than my desk chair to the discomfort of my arms and wrists.

Well today, I felt brave and tired of my wrists hurting so I decided I was going to fix it fully and completely... this ended up going horribly wrong. I raised the desk some, power cycled it, then the software locked that height in as the floor.

I tried holding the UP + DOWN arrow buttons and it went into what looked like a calibration mode where it rose up to the physical max height, made a click sound, then began its decent. However, it stopped much shorter of the bottom and stayed about 6 inches higher than before I started trying to work on it. Great.

I kept trying to reset it in various ways. Power cycling. Holding down the DOWN arrow. Holding down both the UP + DOWN arrows. It running the calibration thing again and stopping in the exact same spot about 6inches from the bottom.

Next, I tried FULLY dismantling the desk to remove the motor to try to manually lower the legs to the bottom then rebuild it. That was a great idea except I couldn't get the fucking motor out because it's just built into the right leg. No way to remove it and manually reset it. Holy fuck.

Finally, after rebuilding it, I got the genius idea to raise it all the way to the top, power cycle it, and try the UP + DOWN reset method.... now it does not initiate the calibration mode and after holding down the UP + DOWN buttons it will just display "EEE". I've tried holding the UP+DOWN buttons down for 2 minutes longer while the EEE was displayed and nothing.

I have tried holding just the DOWN arrow button down too to no avail.

I don't know what to do anymore. Can anyone please help?

This is model number of the controller: TH-HZCG-SIHIE

I have no other identifying information as to what brand this is. Clearly some cheap desk from Amazon.

The only other desk of this style i've found on the internet is this users post asking how to get the motor bar off: https://www.reddit.com/r/StandingDesk/comments/1gjnbm2/how_do_i_get_this_motor_off_the_rod/

I’ve been looking at this desk for a while. It’s 20% off right now, down from $1,999.

The price itself isn’t really the issue. I’m more stuck on whether to take the 20% off now or wait and see if Black Friday ends up being better.

Also debating whether I should get the matching chair (on sale too) or just start with the desk. The product photo is for reference.

So to sum it up my roommate is having this desktop made. I think it’s oak and black in colour. They want to put this on a height adjusting base but aren’t sure what they need. They are asking me but I haven’t got a clue either where or how to help them because I don’t know what is required. So thought I would ask reddit.

I'm graduating in a few weeks and will probably be moving to the Bay Area for my first full-time job. Most of the studios I’m looking at are somewhere around 350–450 sq ft, so a normal 48- or 60-inch desk would become a pretty permanent part of the living space.

I’ll be working from home two or three days a week. My setup is fairly light: a 14-inch laptop, a 24-inch monitor, keyboard, and mouse. I don’t need drawers or space for a desktop PC.

I’ve started looking at folding desks under 30 inches wide instead. The musso d7 is currently on my shortlist because its desktop is roughly 25 × 19 inches, but I can’t tell whether that depth would feel cramped after a full workday. I would remove the monitor before adjusting or moving the desk, so I’m mainly concerned about normal typing stability at standing height.

For anyone who has used a sub-30-inch folding standing desk long term, was the real limitation desktop depth, typing wobble, or having to set it up and put it away every day?

My requirements for a standing desk were probably a little unusual.

I didn’t just need somewhere for a monitor and keyboard. I needed the desk to coexist with a Kawai VPC1, an 88-key weighted piano controller weighing around 29.5 kg / 65 lbs.

I eventually went with an ErgoHide desk together with their large pull-out keyboard tray.

The biggest benefit is that the VPC1 stays permanently integrated into the workstation rather than sitting on a separate stand. I pull it forward when I’m playing and slide it underneath when I want access to the full desktop.

At the same time, the desk itself is electrically height-adjustable, so I still get the normal sit/stand functionality without having to compromise the music setup.

I was especially interested in how the whole thing would feel with such a heavy keyboard underneath. So far, I’ve been very happy with how substantial the setup feels in daily use.

I also chose a solid oak top, which looks fantastic in person and gives the desk a much less “office furniture” feeling.

There are some nice quality-of-life details too: lighting integrated along the back, cable management underneath and magnetic headphone hangers on the sides.

Definitely a more niche use case for a standing desk, but perhaps useful for someone else trying to build a hybrid studio/workstation.

I currently have a single standing desk that I have 2 27in monitors on for my gaming PC. I've been looking at getting an L-shaped desk so I can ideally use one side for my gaming PC and the other for my work PC. I have 2 additional 24" monitors that would be used for the work station for now (subject to change) and then a couple laptops and docking stations. I previously had a KVM switch set up for both systems but I'd rather have each up on its own set of hardware.

I was looking at the Flexispot 71x63in L-shaped option on Amazon.

My question is, if anybody uses a similar L-shaped setup, would there be enough room to reasonably house 2 centered dual monitor setups on each side taking the corner overlap into consideration?

The image is an AI render of the kind of set up I am looking for but I haven't seen the desk in person and some of the pictures Ive come across haven't been very convincing that it would work like this. I'm not positive on the corner overlap dimensions so they were just an estimate. Or maybe it would be better to just get a second regular desk?

Any input would be greatly appreciated. I'm open to any suggestions on a way to make this work and look nice.

The desk I'm looking at purchasing: https://a.co/d/09o3Pxt5

This desk looks incredible and like it would have everything I want from a desk. Which is a large top as well as decent storage. But, I keep seeing posts about the brands poor customer service. How bad of an idea is it to buy a $1500+ desk from them? Is there anyone else that does it better?

The uplift has another $100 off with a coupon, but the deskhaus is rubberwood. 6’4, though long arms so measured my standing desk work height would be only around 44-45”. I prefer the frame color on the uplift, but the deskhaus is a bit cheaper.

I am working my desk / home office setup with some renders.

I want to incorperate a standing desk into the normal desk, I am wondering if anyone has ever done it?

This is the first renders I have made. You can see the white outline where the standing desk should be, designer forgot the legs and the dimensions are somewhat wrong.
