  • One of my most important desk setup items is the desk itself, but a standing desk. I've had one for a long time, and highly recommend it.

    Hey Alex, look up the husky wooden table top! They're sold at Home Depot and *should* be what you're looking for.

    I ended with old desk top from a coffee shop as a desk and bought the legs separately.
    Most of the office desks are to narrow, 6 person table is perfectly deep.
    Maybe you can find something in Ikea.

    A lot of people will buy butcher blocks from a local hardware store for their standing desks. I'd recommend you take a look if you want a high-quality top for a good price.

    I have the same desk, also about 12 years. It's not made for sure by any kind of company called geekdesk, it was one desk that was sold to dozens of brands, I bought mine as Aj Flexus, from the swedish office furniture giant. And I saw it sold under at least 10 different names. Single motor, ugly beam in the middle, the two-button control is a mess... but it was my first, and I still keep it as a side desk with smaller countertop.

    @AZisk I have the same base, you can adjust the width that the legs are apart for the size of desk top that you have. The manufacturer sells only one base which is adjustable and thats what you get when you buy a full desk from them. Its up to you to adjust it to the size when you do the assembly. Had the shorter top initially but later on got a longer one from IKEA and adjusted the legs, it is just two screws.

  • @alfatech5252
    @alfatech5252 2 месяца назад

    You can widen the base by loosening some screws. In the middle of the base, there are screws that you can loosen to adjust and make the base wider. This should help it fit better on your old desk.

    Alex, I started working at a standing desk in 1998. It was one of the Amazon “door desks” but on taller 4x4 legs. Changed companies and migrated to a used drafting table I got at Boeing Surplus near Seattle. You think your old desk is big? This sucker had a steel top (so magnets could hold down the blueprints) covered in faux leather that was 7’x4’. The whole unit weighed more than I did and was rated to lift at least two of me. It not only went up and down, but also tilted (hence the magnets). Two rocker switches for up/down and tilt forward/back. (You did NOT want to hit the wrong one!) Needless to say I had to make a new top as otherwise there was no room for me in my tiny office.
    About 15 years ago I took apart a traditional treadmill so I could add it under my desk. It seems counterintuitive, but you feel less tired in the legs after walking than just standing all day. And you get your exercise in as well. After the pandemic sent us home I now own two standing desks and two treadmills.

    The first standing desk I built from electric gate opener and pile of 2 by 4 and 3d printed parts for my wife (back problems). 4 years later i bought 2 new frames for her and me plus 75cm ikea top - using it everyday in home office.
    Everyone should try it - I didn't knew what been missing.

    For people who stand most of the time, the IKEA crank sit/stand underframe is good. My son and I each have one. They don't creak or wobble, but I wouldn't try lying on it. The default top was hollow, so I bought a 61"x29"x 1" butcher block top for mine (no longer sold) and mounted it with hardware from Home Depot. At the time, I read bad reviews of the motorized IKEA underframe.

    I got myself a nice dining table (oak in my case) and put it on top of a Maidesite T2 Pro Plus. It is a bit heavy, but the Maidesite can handle it. And I have 180x100cm of space to work with. 10/10 would do it again.

    Standing desk is only useful for adjusting height for different chair and laying down. I rather take a walk around house or go outside rather than standing and pretending to work when in reality it just feels distracting.

  • @markw496
    @markw496 2 месяца назад

    IMO I will not buying a standing desk because it doesn't really promote health. From this perspective, I'd rather just have a desk to sit in, but then force myself to actually walk because standing is still sedentary. You aren't moving. Also some people say standing too long is not good for you.
    I do have a treadmill desk, but I found that eventually I couldn't really concentrate on tasks. It worked better for mindless stuff like playing games, but for work, I stick to desk and walk once every other hour to avoid the cons of sitting too long.

    Why not just buy a piece of furniture grade plywood cut to the exact size you want and tack/glue facing around the edge? A couple of coats of poly/finish later and you'd have exactly what you want. I know that you're a Tech RUclipsr, but this really wouldn't be that big a foray into "Carpentry" ...
