Vevor x Vivo - Electric Single Motor Desk Frame with Touch Screen Memory Controller

I currently use this one, but with a 71 by 30 top. On the carpet, it is kind of stable on the sitting height (you can feel some wobble when you typing very fast but very few), on the standing height it is not, a single type you can feel the monitor is wobble. But I actually do not care the stability in the standing height so this is not a issue. The weight limit is not a issue as long as you do not sit on the desk. I have posted a post in this subreddit with my setup if you have interest to see. 1X32 inch curved monitors, 3\*27 inches monitors all with monitor arms mounted. a MacBook and some extra stuff, no issue at all with this 176 lb. limits (Actually all this sum up is way less than 176 lb.) . The most negative thing I have on the desk is the minimal height is 28.7 inch, when you addon the desktop and keyboard will be over 30 inches, which is far too high for me (5'6''). I need a around 5-5.5 inch height footrest to make it possible to use the desk height correctly. and this is the reason I makeup my mind to change to another desk (Once a good deal come)

Great question - I just spent weeks researching standing desks for this exact reason. After comparing 7 different models, stability at full height varies a lot by brand and price point. The VIVO Electric 60x30 and ErGear models both get consistently high marks for minimal wobble even when fully extended. The VIVO is around $270 and handles dual monitor setups really well. If you're on a tighter budget, the ErGear at $229 has programmable height presets which is huge for switching between sitting and standing throughout the day. I wrote up a detailed comparison with real user feedback on stability, pricing, and what to watch out for: [https://shop.zig.digital/blogs/news/best-standing-desks-2025-7-desks-tested-reviewed](https://shop.zig.digital/blogs/news/best-standing-desks-2025-7-desks-tested-reviewed) The key thing I learned is that dual-motor desks stay way more stable than single-motor ones, especially at maximum height. Worth the extra $50-100 if you're using it 8+ hours daily. What height range are you looking for? That can narrow down options pretty quickly.

I feel this post in my bones - literally. After 10 years of WFH and two elbow surgeries from ignoring ergonomics early on, I finally got serious about my setup. **On stability at full height:** This varies wildly by desk. The dual-motor systems stay way more stable than single-motor ones, especially at maximum extension. I just spent weeks comparing standing desks and the VIVO Electric and ErGear models both get consistently high marks for minimal wobble even when fully raised. The Flexispot models are solid too, though quality control seems inconsistent across their different lines. **Chair longevity:** For 8+ hour days, you really want something that won't compress within the first year. I found the GABRYLLY holds up well in the $200 range, but honestly if you can swing it, the Steelcase Leap you mentioned is worth every penny. My research showed most budget chairs ($130-175) need replacement within 1-3 years of heavy use. **Small changes that mattered most for me:** * Monitor arms (getting screens to proper eye level fixed my neck issues) * Anti-fatigue mat for standing (crucial - standing on hard floors kills your feet) * Cable management solutions (sounds minor but reduces so much mental clutter) I actually just finished detailed comparisons on both if anyone's still shopping: Standing desks: [shop.zig.digital/blogs/news/best-standing-desks-2025-7-desks-tested-reviewed](http://shop.zig.digital/blogs/news/best-standing-desks-2025-7-desks-tested-reviewed) Ergonomic chairs: [shop.zig.digital/blogs/news/best-ergonomic-office-chairs-2025-7-chairs-tested-reviewed](http://shop.zig.digital/blogs/news/best-ergonomic-office-chairs-2025-7-chairs-tested-reviewed) The key thing I learned: alternating positions every 45-60 minutes beats either sitting or standing all day. Your setup with the Steelcase + standing desk is basically the gold standard.

I got a Vivo frame and used an old desktop. SUPER happy. I got the premium or heavy duty or something and it was $250. Motor is super quiet, has three presets, and it barely wobbles--definitely no more than a non-adjustable frame of the same design. Got mine on Amazon, though it looks like it's the same price at Walmart (and likely other places, too). I'm a big fan of the sit/stand routine, whether that's done by adjusting the height of the desk or getting a tall task chair that is as comfortable as the desk chair you would otherwise use. In my case, I went went the adjustable desk because it's right in front of the living room window (NYC livin'), and I want to be able to drop it as low as possible when I'm not working at it, to get as much light and view as possible. As u/Acceptable_Treat_101 says, though, if there are things to "fix", the desk is only one part of the puzzle. I rock a split keyboard and a vertical mouse, and they both make a huge difference. (Also, I keep my monitor much lower than most people recommend because of my particular neck issues.) https://preview.redd.it/qcl0r5bjwoig1.jpeg?width=1512&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3e12847f546da227921c2cd25a3396b8be5d80c5

Used this VIVO Electric Stand Up Desk Frame... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08H8SXRG9?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share + a butchers block from home depot. Still standing since march :p

I have a couple Vivo desks from Amazon. Most affordable and still working great years later.

I have a three monitor setup. No issues. My wife has two. They have also the accessories you need. If you buy another brand desk, I’d still consider their accessories. They’re also the best priced.

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.

I have one from Vivo. Was decently easy to put together and is still working great 5 years later

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!
