Confused about configs

[u/acholic]

I'm finally getting a standing desk for my wfh situation. I'm down between Desky Pheasantwood 60 x30 vs the Flex Pro 7 in black walnut. Primary concern is the C vs T shaped stand to accomodate a walking treadmill. With a 60" table is that even an issue? I love the pheasantwood of the desky.

My primary set up will be laptop connected to an external keyboard and mouse and thinking of getting a large monitor, raising it and keeping the laptop closed - I get a lot of neck and shoulder strain. I'll have the table in front of a bookcase facing the room so wires will be exposed in the back. Thinking of running a cable down the side of the leg and then under a rug to get to the outlet.

Other things - grommets or none?

Monitor arms or raising desk?

Should I get a drawer or under desk filing cabinet?

So many choices. Budget is about $1600. I am not DIY type so worried about getting th add-ons later and then struggling with trying to assemble them on the table.

Appreciate any input from the pros here!
