I can't tell if this is an april fools prank.

Honestly, none of those value added features do I want.

Talking to my desk? No, I don't even talk to my mac (And it's been listening for over a decade.) I only talk to Siri in my car.

Ordering food from my desk? WTF?

Here's what I want: - Inexpensive - Programmable positions - Powered raise-lowering ability

That's it.

@MCRed.. get our basic version. it's the most affordable standing desk on the market with programmable positions and powerful sit-to-stand linear motors.

And still over $600 for the basic version. Pretty sure that kills the 'Inexpensive' criteria.

Just the frame kit is $500 and you still need to provide a desk surface yourself.

So, while I think it's great, I'll never spend that much on one for personal use. Since I work from home it would be a personal expense.
