Did I miss something or did it exclude the cost of the table upon which the lack table is sitting on?
Desks on top of desks never felt safe to me. 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.
Put it on a solid desk and it isn't going anywhere. I'd bet that it's even more stable than the fredrik which has two skinny legs.
The problem with these solutions is that when you get tired, you get to disassemble this sucker.

I can assure you this setup is super stable. Even at this price, nothing wobbles. If you think about where the weight is in this setup vs. others.

For the extra $350 you get easier/finer adjustments and perhaps, more stability.
For someone who just wants to get a little standing time in with a laptop, an adjustable 'over-bed' table for about $50 is almost a good solution:

I say almost because it doesn't quite have the rigidity that would be best, or ability to handle any leaning/weight other than just light hand placement.
I spent $1,100 on a GeekDesk max (including shipping). An investment in my health was long overdue, especially since I've spent $4-5,000 on my computer setup.
