Standing Desk recommendation

Another 30% off sale SUMMER30

Do you guys know if there are any places other than Leroy Merlin that has hardwood tabletops (I'm in the Cape Town area so can't really get from them) and builders only has laminated pine I think.

I used Faceook market place to find people that make hardwood tops. Then you can give the size and some stuff you like. I did this twice.

Or if you want to DIY a bit yourself, you can get any type of hardwood at https://www.rarewoods.co.za/
While they can do PIR there will still be some work left.

Thanks! For now, the DIY I want to do is screwing a top into the frame so will probably go the Facebook route.

looking to get a standing desk for black friday, anyone got recommendations? I'm thinking this one from takealot, but 5k steems a little steep for a desk that manually raises..

Not Black Friday but I got this recently but added my own top. Really happy with it. I had specific size requirements so I didn’t look and can’t advise on those with a top.

My TekDesk 2.0 still works fine.

But there was a story on zatech where someone couldn't get theirs to work. But, in tekdesk defense, they sent him a bunch of spare motors and a spare controller.
Guy couldnt get it to work, sold desk and top and spares for R1000 to someone else, who got it to work.

That sounds suspiciously like a ID10T error to me.
 
All I can say to people is do the standing desk proper where the whole desk is motorised.

I have one at the office but then at home went for one of those Desk Stand moves but it just isn't the same and recently I finally packed it up in favour of a proper office chair and normal desk arrangement instead.

Get the pad to stand on though, makes a huge difference in all day comfort.

Very much so she has two laptops a microscope and a screen on the desk its rock solid.

The four settings are awesome.

She does
1. Sitting laptop
2. Sitting microscope
3. Standing laptop
4. Standing microscope

All silently moving up and down to exact positions best money spent on home office equipment

She also uses this to take fatigue off standing
