How are yall paying $3,000 for a desk?

For under $400, HomeDepot sells a "workbench" desk ( designed to be hammered on and beat on and abused ) sturdier than any commercial desk I've used at work. The manual crank is super easy and fast to use - even under great load. I used my rough carpentry skills to modify workbench desk to add monitors and under desk peripheral storage.

This group is about high quality items worth the price.

I can see how a work bench like that might be useful, but I don't want to have to hand crank my desk every day

If $2,600 is worth a motor to you ....

Here's the Husky desk for $600 with a motor ( $200 )

I mean, not all motors are created the same and not all sit stand desks are made the same. Some wobble. Some are solid walnut tops. Some have smart weld points to reduce shake and movement.

Again, this group is about spending good money on high quality.

I could also get a sit stand desk on Amazon, but l it'd likely have a cheap chinese motor that won't last.

I'm not sure what to tell you. It sounds like this group might not be for you
