IKEA - BOLLSIDAN Desk sit/stand, electric

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

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.

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! 

I'm 6' 4" so had to get a slightly taller desk. A cheaper but sturdy IKEA electric one. Make sure you get one with a cable tray so all the power bricks and cables raise and lower with the desk. As someone has already mentioned though, a decent chair will probably be a better investment if you can only afford one. I normally only stand for a combined 2 hours a day max.

I got the electric version from IKEA 4 years ago. It holds me standing on it. Comes with a 10 year factory warranty too.

I have two different bases with butcher block tops from ikea. One is the ikea electric sit/stand base. The other is the base from an electric sit/stand desk I bought on Amazon and swapped out the top. The ikea base is nicer in the fact that it moves more smoothly and feels more sturdy. But I agree with what someone else said about having memory settings. The other one has that feature and I prefer it. I sit/stand/lean on something, so I adjust frequently. Would never go back to a fixed desk.

Don’t know current price but I bought an electric ikea desk.

I got an electric sit/stand desk from IKEA. Not the cheapest but not the most expensive either and it’s a good desk. Because of the power adjustment and the memory functions I use it daily. Sometimes I feel like sitting, sometimes like standing and it’s easy to move between them by pushing one button. It’s especially nice for long meetings since I like to move around a bit during them.
