I bought the autonomous desk from kickstarter for $500 (basic model): <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.kickstarter.com&#x2F;projects&#x2F;403524037&#x2F;autonomous-desk-the-smartest-office-desk-yet-power&#x2F;description" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.kickstarter.com&#x2F;projects&#x2F;403524037&#x2F;autonomous-de...</a>, so far quite happy with it. Really stable, and the table top is of good quality. I can see the author&#x27;s point where the motor is not necessary but when it&#x27;s cheap enough (at the low end of the $500-$3000 price range), it&#x27;s certainly a nice to have feature.<p>Wobbly desk really bugs me and I would rather have a fixed height desk rather than a wobbly one. Testing the stability (or confirm from other&#x27;s review) before you buy.
