Looking for stable standing desk recommendations. I don’t like my desk to wobble while standing or pushing against the desk.

The Ikea Idasen looks interesting with it’s Y shaped legs.

So you have a non-wobbly standing desk you love?

Do you have must have desk organizer/ gadgets? I’d love to learn about those too.

    While scrolling I genuinely thought this was an ad for a table, and was all ‘damn, Lemmy’s got sponsored posts already’? then I remembered where I was, and that it’s 2023

    Angle braces like that are definitely not necessary. Mine is rock solid and just has the regular shape.

      Same here. I don’t know where you’re from but I got mine from Strutube, no idea if it’s only a Canadian thing, but it’s rock solid, no angle braces, and there’s a ton on heavy stuff on it.

    Follow up. I looked at everybody’s suggestions, not all of them were available in my country. But IKEA was. I pulled the trigger on the IKEA desk in the title. And it’s super stable. Doesn’t rock at all. Very happy. Thank you all for the input

    I don’t normally do this, but I had such a good experience with them that I wanted to sing their praises.

    I ended up getting a custom one by Deskhaus and I love it. It’s made in the USA and the guy who runs the company is really upfront with a lot of details behind the desk and their competitors. Their youtube channel helps answer a lot of questions about their various desks.

    I have an Uplift desk and it’s pretty solid despite being on wheels. It’s entirely possible that we have different standards of wobbliness but you might want to consider Uplift. They have a lot of different sizes, finishes, and accessories available.

    I love my standing/sitting desk. I use an uplift from thehumansolution. I’ve been using it for about 8 years now. I bought one of their frames only and removed the desktop from my old desk to mount on top. I’m not sure if they sell just the base anymore, but I see they have a lot of options. I also use a lifespan brand walking treadmill under mine that I’ve been using just as long. I highly recommend both. It has done wonders for my back issues that kept getting worse after prolonged sitting.

    It is not wobbly, and I have my entire desktop and triple monitors with heavyduty tri-monitor base on top of it.

      Seconding uplift. I bought directly from them, I’m not sure how or if that impacted the price. Very sturdy materials with a long warranty (15 years I think) standing behind their products.

    I did task rabbit for a while a few years back and put together a fair number of IKEA ones. They aren’t the cheapest but damned if they aren’t solid af.

        TBH all the models were quite good. Never had one that wasn’t solidly built. I think the Bekant was the best but also likely their most expensive.
