IKEA - BEKANT corner desk left sit/stand (S592.224.81)

+1 for the large IKEA standing desk. Had mine for 5 years now and it's going strong.

I got a great one in ikea a few years ago. Still going strong. Nice and big with lots of space. Can’t find my exact one. I went for an “L” shaped one. https://www.ikea.com/ie/en/cat/standing-desks-55008/

I honestly hardly use mine but it’s still worth it because it’s a great desk. I got the IKEA powered one.

I'm using the same IKEA Bekant that I bought in 2015 and like it, but who knows if it is still manufactured the same way.

I've been happily using the same Ikea Bekant since 2015. I'm not sure you're expecting?

I got an electric IKEA one years ago and love it. It makes switching between sitting and standing so easy. I do that probably every one or two hours. Also important: Get a gel mat for standing.

The Ikea Bekant is garbage don't do it. Motor failed after 13 months and it wobbled like crazy even when new. Switched to a FlexiSpot E5 and the difference is night and day. Sometimes saving money costs you more in the long run. Stick with FlexiSpot E7 or Uplift if you want something reliable.

Imagine having a desk you can adjust to the perfect sitting or standing height for you at any given moment for any given task. It's awesome! I work at a microscope and we have sit to stand desks (which are juuust too short for me to actually do standing work, -shakes fist-). At home, I have a large powered sit-to-stand for my sewing room, which I use almost entirely for sitting, but it's fantastic that I can adjust it up high if I need to do close-viewed tasks on the desk. Mine is from Ikea, had it for 5+ years, never had a problem. My husband has a manual hand-crank sit-to-stand desk and it is great! Adjusting it is easy and smooth and the handle tucks away nicely. Another two cents: do you exercise? stretch? do you notice where your back pain is and google what might cause it and how to fix it? there's a lot you can achieve with a good and regular exercise routine, and if that fails, a good PT can help you out! Like others have said, changing positions is really really helpful, too! I have also found that sitting on the floor while playing video games or watching TV (for as long as I can tolerate it) has helped my hip mobility and back strength.

I have one from ikea with the electric motors. I only bought it so that I could set the height at 2 inches higher than a standard desk (I am 6 feet tall). I never work behind it standing up.

IMO, a standing desk is - just like a good ergonomic chair - an absolute must have for the office. I don't make use of it everyday, but certainly every other day. - also, you don't have to use them fpr hours on end. Sometimes I just use it for 30 mins, just to relieve some discomfort. Also, if you have a walking treadmill or a wobble board / balance board, they are also a great way to keep your legs and core gently engaged and prevent lower back strain while standing. (I can stand comfortably at my desk for 30-60 minutes without anything else. A wobble board doubles that time for me easily).  Importantly though, it does NOT make sense to spend a ton of money on a standing desk, like it does for a good office chair. With office chairs you only really get the level of support and comfort above a certain price point. However, with standing desks, they are functionally the same no matter the price point. Only the choice material really changes with price. None of these more expensive features are really worth their money to me.  Here's what I did (and what I recommend to everyone else) Step 1 - Buy a used IKEA electric standing desk. They are cheap, the electronic height adjustability works great and reliable, and if anything should ever break, you can always get replacement parts for cheap. As long as the electronics work, it doesn't matter whether you like the optics of that particular table or not, because - Step 2 - You buy a pretty, new table top from your local wood supplier, hardware store, etc. And screw it onto the motorized frame. This Is a ridiculously simple modification, yet it adds a ton of quality to the thing. A good, pretty and solid table top is so much better than any of the veneered cardboard crap that IKEA sells. - Step 3 - Add a cable organizer under the desk (just search for "under desk cable management, there are loads of cheap and good options)  Boom! You've got yourself a pretty, personalized, cheap, repairable and functional standing desk!
