Update: We just found a standing desk for even cheaper ($100).
Amazon is offering this SanoDesk 55"x24" electric standing desk for only $100 after you clip a $99 off coupon on the product page. This is perfect for a back to school student or an at-home remote worker who's looking to build an ergonomic setup without spending much money. It's pretty amazing that you can score an electric standing desk for only $100 when just a few years ago the least expensive option would cost upwards of $400 or more.
SanoDesk 55"x24" Electric Standing Desk for $100
The SanoDesk desk seems to tick all the right boxes. The base is a familiar stable 2-legged design with a horizontal crossbar brace to eliminate sag. The single motor accepts loads up to 132 pounds and has an anti-collision feature so the motor won't burn itself out if you accidentally lower or raise it into an obstruction. Height range is from 28.3'' to 50''. It also comes with a control panel with two memory presets, which you'll usually only find on considerably pricier electric standing desks.
The top is a 55"x24" splice board. Splice boards are desktops that are split into two pieces to save on shipping costs. It also means your desktop surface will have a seam down the middle of it. It's not really a big deal for most people, but if you don't like it, you can always use your own desktop surface, as long as it stays within the weight limit and doesn't extend too much farther than the cross brace. I've done this plenty of times myself with wood tops from Ikea and Home Depot.
We've provided two more inexpensive options. The Marsail electric standing desk supports 176 pounds of weight, four memory presets, and comes with a storage bag for tidying up your files, stationary, and writing utensils and a headphone hook. The Fezibo electric standing desk also supports 176 pounds, four memory presets, and includes a drawer, optional caster wheels, and two built-in grommets.
