Hi HN - Does anyone have a motorized sit/stand desk they're in love with, and/or recommendations for the top models to consider? Thanks!

I got an Uplift desk last year and it's good, but they're pretty pricey. There are probably cheaper options that work fine too.

When I looked for one, it was hard to get one to fit me ergonomically: while I am relatively tall, I actually needed it to go pretty low (68-69cm for the top of the desk), and then pretty high when standing (>120cm).

I've gotten a no-name brand one and it still serves me well: with a couple (usually) electric motors in them, there's not much to differentiate between them anyway, so look for one that fits your budget and has the right properties for you.
