Great standing desk - recommended
A back injury from a few years ago means that sitting for prolonged periods of time causes me back pain that is almost instantly relieved once I stand up. I mostly work from home so I decided to purchase a sit/stand desk to get around this problem. Several days of research later took me to a Reddit post which in turn led me to Gostand. They have a fantastic website where you can configure a number of different options, some of which are unavailable via alternative suppliers of similar desks. I opted for a 180 x 80 Alaska work top with the Pro frame in grey. I also selected the threaded inserts, cable grommets, extension cable with 6 outlets and a 1200mm wire tray. These were ordered Tuesday and were delivered Friday. The desk arrived in three robust boxes, one for the legs, another for the wire tray & extension lead and the third was the desktop. I thought the top was likely to get chucked around by the carrier but it was so well packaged it was completely fine. Assembly of the desk was very simple; the instructions are well laid out and easy to follow. It comes complete with all the fixings some of which are not used depending on the accessories selected and configuration used. It’s built upside down (worktop face down) so position carefully to prevent damage to the surface. It’s heavy so help of another is needed to turn it over on to its legs. The wire tray is amazing at hiding all those unsightly cables. I spent a considerable amount of time making it was tidy underneath and the tray makes this very easy. I only have two ‘external’cables running to the wire tray – power and network. These are spiral wrapped into effectively one cable that looks neat and works at both heights. All the other cabling sits inside the wire tray which has a very convenient removable front panel. The threaded inserts and wire tray are a must. I would also suggest getting a desk bigger than you think you need.
