I have a relatively expensive Uplift desk. I&#x27;ve had it for about 4 months now and have 0 complaints on the $1200-ish I spent. Here&#x27;s my protips:<p>* Get one with a motor in it. Hand cranking sounds awful.<p>* Get one with presets. Having to hold a button and wait for a desk to go up and down sucks.<p>* Get one that goes up and down -- sitting or standing all the time sucks.<p>* Regarding the above items, you&#x27;ll probably want to move it up and down every 45 minutes to 1.5 hours.<p>* Just because you can build one for $4 in parts or put your laptop on a box doesn&#x27;t mean you should. If it looks like you made it out of $4 in parts or is an old diaper box you probably don&#x27;t actually care about your workspace.
