Ask HN: What desk do you use at home, where did you get it, and do you like it?

from the ask-hn dept.

I'm finding it very difficult to find the right desk for me. Amazon is not proving helpful, nor IKEA or Etsy or Wayfair or Overstock or google in general. I need new ideas!

I got a Flexispot EC 3 standing desk with 55”w x 28”d curved front top (curved front tops are no longer offered) and added one of their monitor arms. Paid about $525 for the desk and $80 for the arm. I’ve used it for about 15 months and it is fabulous. If I did it again I get the newer EC-4 base (wasn’t available at the height of covid) and motor to be able to lower the desk another couple inches when sitting.

They have other less expensive options too.

I got a Jarvis standing desk several years ago. My work got me used to having a Geekdesk, but they were really expensive. The Jarvis had nicer features, like an inward curve, power grommets, and a memory bank for programmable heights. And best of all, it was maybe 60% the price of a Geekdesk.

I got a Jarvis too. It’s an awesome desk. Just don’t make the mistake and forget the memory module. It makes work a bit easier :D

I like the bamboo texture.
