Best products from r/StandingDesk

Yea it sure was stressful trying to make the right choice. I have pages and pages of notebook paper with option/cost comparisons, review notes, my own thoughts etc. It looked like a crazy person trying to shop or something lol.

Read the instructions and watch/follow the installation video on their site. The video was a lot more helpful than the instruction manual. Setup is pretty easy but be sure to listen when they say how to tighten your bolts. A lot of them you will start the thread on 4 screws then tighten them down in a rotating cross-pattern like you would do with car lug nuts or when tuning a drum head. Make sure when you do tighten the screws they are snug.

Per the recommendation of some, I also used a Blue Medium strength Oil tolerant
Non-Permanent thread locker on all the machine bolts. I used Vibra-tite 122 since it was the cheapest of the 3 big brands. Looks like it out of stock on Amazon but Loctite and Permatex both make a version as well. Loctite is #243 found here. I got the Oil and material insensitive types because the bolts do come with a slight oil and I was unsure of the exact metal makeup. I let the desk sit for about 4 hours after I finished building to let the threadlocker cure some. The full cure time is 24hrs. The result is an extremely stable desk while sitting and standing alike. Even trying to push on it at 43inch height and it is hard to get it rocking. Definitely doesn't even come close to messing with your work.

O I understand the space issue. 72in is really my max and it fits just perfect in my office. There is a clearance 48in maple laminate top still available that will save you ~$50 or so.

No problem at all and I'm happy to answer any questions you have. I know how hard it is to find some good info on these things and it is a huge investment. Hope you enjoy the desk. I know I sure am! :D

Thank you for posting this. I'm considering buying a second standing desk, and this helps.

This Monoprice desk is also $341.33 shipped to Virginia, if you use the MONTH20 coupon advertised on the top of their site.

The Autonomous.ai business edition (which I love) DIY Kit (frame only, like the Monoprice one), looks almost identical and is $349.00 + $39.00 shipped (with a referral discount of $25 (easy to find), only $363.00 shipped).

Monoprice is claiming ~5-15 days quicker shipping than Autonomous.ai (depending on color).

Monoprice is pretty good about honoring their warranties - at least with my experience on 3d printers. I'd be comfortable expecting them to stand behind the desk working for the 1 year. Autonomous.ai offers 5 years on the dual-motor model (1 year on the single), but I don't have any idea how well they will handle any claims.

Also, if you want to just go for $300 and free fast shipping, Amazon has this one Prime and claims next day delivery (to my house, anyway): https://smile.amazon.com/Mount-Electric-Adjustable-Ergonomic-MI-7930/dp/B01MXTWQ86/

I wanted to share a couple pictures of the desk set up and also some of the accessories I purchased. My expirience with Fully was great. I got the Jarvis3 with Walnut veneer in a72x60 size. The frame was delivered about 3 days later and the desk top about a week after purchase. The quality is everything I expected! This thing is heavy and stable at all heights. I love this desk!

Accessories
I decided to get the keyboard tray and accessories from Amazon. The keyboard tray is probably going back because it is difficult to move back and forth.

I have this one, no complaints.

You could easily get a black or white top from ikea for $30 if you have one local - http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/20251139/#/10251352
Black tops generally show smudges and fingerprints more, personally I think white looks better w/ black frame. Good luck.

Bankers boxes are incredibly useful.

I plan to get something better to hold my laptop eventually. But the lid on the box holding my monitor was slooowly beginning to cave, so getting a monitor stand was priority #1.

If you're curious, this is the end table I'm using as a monitor stand. It happened to be the perfect height for me.

Not as swanky as one of those $1000 adjustable height desks. But it works for me.

I went with one similar to this one from Vivo. The brand I chose is not available, but it looks like one of the two is a rebranding of the other.

I thought about spending a little more on one that slid out in addition to rotating. Honestly though, since mounting it and running the cables I haven't messed with it much at all. The rotating function has given me the access to the back of the machine on the few occasions I've needed it over the last ~6 months.

Just be sure of the location before screwing it down. Make sure you can rotate it from the location where the base is mounted.

Buying one of these through the standing desk makers is going to severely add to the cost that's really not needed.

P.S. I also made a video on this setup if you're interested in seeing :)

I am 5'10" and have a cube corner 48. I usually don't need to raise it up all the way to be comfortable. It has catches every 2" or so for maximum adjustment.

I would suggest:
-Monitor arms (clamp style) so that you can get back some real estate (
-A good standing mat

• a drafting chair (that's a bit higher than normal office chairs)
  -the extenders that VARIDESK sells.

Yes, exactly! I'm all about the quality...is this what you have in mind?

It's rock solid and would definitely purchase it again.

Recommended to 90, although i read that you would be alright up to 100". Cant remember where I saw that tho. RIP

Here's the link to the actual product page on Amazon without the affiliate link. Here's the direct link to Amazon with OPs affiliate link but skipping the Twitter nonsense.

Also, here's the Camelcamelcamel link, showing this is normally $70, so this is actually a great deal.

I wish I saw this sooner. I got both that desk i mentioned and the autonomous one. While the monoprice desk is a little different, the desk you linked me has the same parts as the autonomous desk.
