Not too long ago I bought myself the Uplift V2 adjustable standing desk and I have to say I’m pretty happy with it. I work from home as well and I wanted something that would allow me to be proactive in preventing back issues and the like.
I wanted the standing option but even aside from that just being able to really dial in the exact height without having to disassemble the desk was important to me, not that I ever change the height while I’m sitting apart from switching to standing, however the right height was important to me and this gives me the flexibility to try different heights with ease.
One thing I was concerned about was wobble and so I looked at a lot of options available to me in person (I’m a fellow Canadian so shout out to Oliver) and they were all very unstable at height. I’m happy to say that the uplift I ordered is more stable than the PS4 after all those years of stability updates 😜. Even with just two legs I haven’t had any issues and I can type or write on it without much movement if any at all. I forget the exact measurements but it’s similar in size to what Alex purchased.
I’ll admit the desk I bought was spendy but I felt it was a good investment in my own health and was happy spending that money. It was delivered promptly and it was a breeze to set up, even by myself, though it’s recommended to have a helper and while you can manage like I did I would agree that it’d be easier with a helper.
Alex I hope your back improves and the worst of the pain is behind you (no pun intended). I’m interested to hear how you manage with the standing desk and also if you make any changes to the chair you’re using. That’ll be my next purchase to improve my work setup.
