Autonomous - SmartDesk Pro (DIY Frame)

We got pushback at first folks thought it was overkill. But now no one wants to go back to sitting 10 hours a day. Fewer complaints to HR about chairs and RSI stuff too we went with a mix mainly Smartdesk DIY and Flexisport, then paired a few DIY hardwood tops with adjustable frames to stretch the budget a bit. we were worried it might look like a Frankenstein setup, but it actually worked out. Autonomous frames helped keep everything aligned, and since we stuck to neutral finishes, the whole room still looks cohesive

I got 1 from Autonomous about 12 years ago. Still going strong. I bought the stand mechanism with 2 motors and put a butcher block top on it just like another user did.

I'm 5'4" and have a Autonomous desk. It only goes down to 26" which is still a bit too high for me. I keep it down at 26" and have my chair adjusted to match the desk, and then use a Human Scale footrest to get my feet back up to where they should be.

The seat pan is a good depth for my legs and the arm rests adjust to where I need them as well.

I have had an autonomous for the past 4 years and love it

I’d prefer the Autonomous desk, pretty solid and priced around $500. No need to spend $800–$1k on a desk.

I got one shipped to me from Autonomous a few years ago. I mostly sit at it now but I have no complaints.

I love mine from Autonomus!

I've had a flexispot and autonomous. I didn't like the surface of the autonomous so when it got damaged I replaced with the flexispot legs and put some real wood on top. Working fantastic.

Use autonomous too, solid but I think modular desk from Dezctop for cleaner cable management and vertical storage will make it easier to use in the long term.

I've had an Autonomous brand desk for four years and love the frame itself but the desktop edge doesn't hold up well. So I'd definitely recommend the frame but if you go with their desktops plan on using some type of edge protection.
