A standing desk for $22

I can assure you this setup is super stable. Even at this price, nothing wobbles. If you think about where the weight is in this setup vs. others. The only thing that shifts the balance from a 4 legged table is the keyboard shelf. If there wasn't a monitor on top of it, you might be able to push down hard on the shelf to tip the table, but I doubt it. With a monitor on a table, this thing doesn't move.

Put it on a solid desk and it isn't going anywhere. I'd bet that it's even more stable than the fredrik which has two skinny legs.

I have a fredrik [1], indeed it is a bit wobbly -- it's not bad enough to be a problem, it's a great setup, but definitely not the most stable.

This desk is awesome as a stand up desk. I also used it as a treadmill desk for 6 months.

I had to do a little shimming of the shelf bracket, since the legs were not perfectly straight, but no wobbling here either.
