Agree -- I've had my Flexispot for three years, including two moves when having some extensive work done on my house, and it's super solid. I have dual monitors plus attached cat beds on mine.

The Flexispot dual motor options are around that range iirc? I’ve had mine for about 4 years with no complaints. Dual monitor (32”+24” vert), mac mini, all my power bricks were strapped to a tray under the table.

In motion, I don’t have to worry about a full mug of coffee spilling. Static, about the same as a normal desk.

Got mine a year ago and use stand mode everyday, usually beginning of day and after lunch. Adjusting height while sitting at different levels for typing vs reading can also alleviate bad posture. There is no reason to spend a grand on a standing desk. Look for a Flexispot dual motor on Amazon. Amazing quality, easy set up, and so smooth. I would only ever get a dual motor. Mine was no more than $300.

You can either go the preset ones from uplift, flexispot, etc. but I'm not a fan of the table top because it's usually particle board. It can work for you but to each their own. I got a flexispot dual motor standing desk and paired it with a butcher block top from home depot. You can usually find butcher blocks easily assessible from the big box stores. I also screwed in casters on the bottom so I could move it around when needed. Using the Ikea Signum as cable management and it's...okay. It works but whatever. Depending on how heavy your table top is and how much stuff (weight of monitors, PC tower, etc.) you're going to put on your desk, would recommend get a frame with dual motors.

Check how many leg segments it has. My FkexiSpot desk has 2 and low is just a tad not low enough
