As the title states, I'm looking for a standing desk for home. Since the pandemic started causing work from home, I'm doing alot more sitting than I used too. Used to work from an 8' adjustable tech bench and small desk. So now that I'm missing more of the standing work function and mobility, I'm looking for a standing desk, main search source right now has been Amazon, as I have some spending credit there.... but I see alot of terrible reviews as far as the mechanical aspect or the desk itself wobbles! I have a quad-monitor stand, so the desk having a wobble is out of the question. Do any you have a standing desk that you use, or maybe just a tall desk that is sturdy and does the job! Thanks for the help guys!

This is what I've got and it's honestly as sturdy as they get, but you do pay for it.

Not a bad price considering what you get. My executive desk that I use for my home office and computer equipment costs much more than the Steelcase desk.

Yeah, it was the first time I bought a desk not made out of particle board and allen bolts so the price just seemed inflated comparatively. I asked our facilities people at work what kind of desks we were using, because on a short-pile carpet they don't wobble at all, even better on a hard floor, and it's been a winner ever since I got it.

Hi-

I use a Versa Desk at work (Versa Desk) and I like it because its adjustable and I can sit or stand when I want.
