The points were a few:

- Why doesn't Ikea make this available in more places where shipping heavy standing desks is not reasonable (ie., Canada from the US)

- As bulky as the Ikea standing desk looks, I could see it being used in a lot of offices in North America just because it was easily accessible

For me, I discovered the uplift shortly after posting too -- it looks like a great deal and great table. Glad to hear you are liking it too. I'm presently speccing one out!

I'm real pleased with mine. The only advice I'd say is to place the uppydowny switch as far out of the way as you can deal with. The case is a bit flimsy where it screws to the table, and I worry I'll break it off if I knock it with my knee a few more times.
