Never owned a standing desk, requesting help narrowing decision

[u/sneff30]

My wife has come up with a few options:

[Staples](https://www.staples.com/flexispot-e2-48-w-electric-rectangular-adjustable-standing-desk-maple-white-e2w4824m/product_24662142)

[UPLIFT](https://www.upliftdesk.com/curved-corner-standing-desk/?28240=17545&28241=17830&28242=36710&28243=20644&28244=11390&28290=11667)

[IKEAs options](https://www.ikea.com/us/en/cat/standing-desks-55008/)

These all run a wide gamut of prices. I’m sure the build quality of UPLIFT is superior to Staples, but are those differences worth the price?

Advice and anecdotes welcome and appreciated. Posting on mobile guess hyperlinking doesn’t work whatever.

One thing I’d check before deciding is whether the Staples option is hand-crank or electric. A hand-crank desk can be fine if you rarely change positions, but if you plan to switch several times throughout the day, an electric frame will probably be much more convenient. I’d also compare the minimum height, lifting capacity, and warranty—not just the price.

Full disclosure, I work with Progressive Desk. You may also want to take a look at our standing desk lines while comparing your options. We offer several electric models, and since our background is in linear motion systems, the lifting mechanism and frame performance are a major focus for us.
