#2A couple of years ago IKEA NA sold a motorized sit/stand desk. No idea why they stopped carrying it, but I would assume slow sales was the reason.

#3Unrelated question, is IKEA website broken on Chrome for anyone else? If I switch to Firefox it works ok. Chrome doesn't -- the image of the desk overlaps the text on the right.

#4Doesn't include the top apparently.
You can search my post history to see how I made a sit/stand desk for less than $200.
Does anyone know how well the legs stay parallel and if this is a problem with the motion components?

#6Typical americans, welcome to the rest of the world. Try living outside of NA for a month or so and see just how many things aren't available to you, or the insane prices you have to pay.

What kinds of things are we missing? And do you mean insane high prices or insane low prices? For most things I was under the impression the U.S. was cheaper.

Outside the US people have to pay up to 50% more for products from the US. See the recent case in Australia about the prices they pay for software and Apple products.
Then there's the "This website/service is not available in your country.", for example, see Netflix, Hulu, Pandora and so on.
