My recommendation (as it always is anytime these standing desk articles appear) is the Frederik from IKEA ( http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/60111123/ ) Ok it's not $22 but I've picked up two now on special for less than $80.

I've been doing the "desk on a desk" setup for 4 years. I use double-sided tape to keep it in place at it works fine. And mine is a real cheap solution -- scrap wood from my basement.
