FlexiSpot is a great bet for a budget-friendly and reliable desk. They have a solid reputation and good customer service for parts if you ever need them. VIVO is another excellent choice, and they even let you buy spare parts directly from their website, which is a huge plus for long-term repairs.

I have a Vivo and a Flexispot EN1. Both are solid choices.

One thing I wish I knew before buying: they leak oil down the legs.

Mine is Vivo. From their customer support when I reached out to them: “We have checked with our tech team on this and they have confirmed that we have seen these leak the excess oil even after a long amount of time. It could be that it takes a certain amount of stress for it to flush out the excess, however, if there were no changes in performance by the desk, then this should not be anything to cause concern.” Nothing to cause concern? What about when it drips onto the carpet and stains it? Typically, if there is a change in performance in addition to the oil leaking, that would be cause for concern.

Everything here is what I wanted to say. I use VIVO at work and home. Great starter option imo.

I've had three standing desks over the last 7 years: * Started with a VIVO dual motor from Amazon; broke just after 3 year warranty mark * Replaced with Uplift V2 C-Frame in 2021; made a custom top; killer desk, I still have this in my shop * Currently running SecretLab Magnus Pro; even more killer of a desk The Uplift desk is great. I have it sitting on 3" casters and even still it is very stable. The Magnus Pro feels beefier in every way; the weight and rigidity is next level. I got the Magnus for the specific features (cable management, magnets, etc) and appearance. I can't speak to long term reliability but I can say both the Uplift and Secretlab are tanks and remain stable at height for my 6'3 frame. Both desks have a laptop and one 32" display. The Uplift uses an arm, the Secretlab display is on a stand. Edit: As for usage, I do stand multiple times a day. Mostly if I'm in a meeting and my watch tells me it's time to get up. If I'm not in a meeting, well, I go walk around the house or something.

https://a.co/d/dhSfYqL Assuming this is the same one, and they didn't change the product. (Which I've had Amazon sellers do and noticed when I went to reorder it was different) I love this one. I had somebody with a table saw cut me a top that is almost 5 ft wide. And then they cut little pieces for a cubby. Routed all the edges. Just used 1/2 MDF so it was super cheap. I have two very large Ultra wide screens, one in portrait and one regular. I screwed a bunch of wire management cages under the bottom so only the one power cord to the surge protector showing. I could def take a bigger top, I would def buy again.

Not experienced with flexispot but I do have the Vivo standing desk legs (dual motor) I have no complaints I slapped a 6ftx24in butcher block on it and it's been solid for the past 3 yrs with no major issues. If I had one complaint it would probably be the sensor that stops the desk going up if it gets caught on something. I feel the resistance threshold should be a little lower but at the same time its a feature that you shouldn't really use more than before you move something out of the way forever lol. Imo I don't think either is a bad pick but ideally I'd snag one with dual motors as I feel they will age better because there will be less stress on the system

Steelcase is often the standard for office environments, they just don't die.  That said, they are crazy expensive. As a more budget friendly option that is still good quality, Consider the vivo brand ones on Amazon. It has worked great for me! 

I posted in another thread, but I bought a 3 stage vevor brand frame and a 60"x24" vivo desktop and made one myself. it works well and is fairly stable when extended, but of course does not compete with a very nice Steelcase or something. but for under $300 otd it's hard to complain.
