I bought one of those standing desks that you can move up and down from Amazon to help my back with working from home. After a load of research I ended up with this one and over a year later (bought August 2024) it's still going strong. The smaller ones are often on deals at around £100, and my larger one cost me £150, so within your budget. Highly recommended - https://amzn.to/479NYM6
I have a flexidesk standing desk. love it.
32" + 27" monitor with keyboards, mouse, shelf, laptop, dock..etc. only that doesn't have is my PC which is on another shelf. but u can easily fit a PC on there if u only have 1 monitor.(or put it in the back and hide it.
so i used FlexiDesk first and the height adjustments were ok but not smooth. then i got a Dezctop desk with the lift system and modular D Boards. switching between sitting and standing throughout the day became effortless. my back feels way better now
I got a Flexispot on a Black Friday sale and saved about a hundred, honestly pretty sturdy depending on how detail oriented and handy you are with assembly.
There's one through Costco that doesn't look half bad that has a glass top, USB-A X1 + USB-C X2 integrated charging ports on the side, and drawer.
Though I prefer a wooden top to secure a multi-monitor mount and install cable management.
I had one of the Ikea ones when they first started doing them maybe a decade ago. It was OK but I found I left it down a lot of the time and if I was standing I wasn't standing in a great posture anyway. Biggest thing was that it had no memory so it was always a bit of a faff going from one to the other and tweaking it up and down a bit to get it right. Ended up in the kids room.
Due to change rooms around again at home so I'm tempted to try a Flexispot (with position memory this time). I found it was good for the afternoon lull you sometimes get although my WFH routine rarely has me sitting for hours at a time, I have a wireless headset and wander about if it's a long call, or nip downstairs to make a drink through the day.

Affordable and stable, but assembly can be confusing.
