Very slight woodworking to fit the frame to the tabletop involved ;)

I love this standing desk, can highly recommend!

Nice :)

I bought a ready to assemble one myself (so it was just a matter of following the instructions to assemble it). It was not cheap but that was almost 10 years ago and it's still working great. Imho, the second best money I ever spent—quality shoes being the first one.

I would encourage anyone to also spend money on a quality standing mat as it will help the legs, feet and back not getting tired too quickly.

I am standing in an old shearling, a thick carpet could work too.

Without that it would be pretty uncomfortable.

I have the desk pretty high so I can lean on it a bit, which surprised me.
