      Noted. Although I'd personally prefer having to move it manually than the convenience of a motor (that may break down the line).

          The office I work at just got renovated, including changing to hot desking with brand new stand-up desks, etc.

          The stand-up desks are motorised with buttons to adjust height. About a quarter of them are already broken after ~3 months of very little use (most staff are still working from home).

          Every time I pick a desk, the first thing I do is try the buttons before I waste time wiping the desk down as part of the workplace covidsafe plan.

                @hutchjnr: It's "flexible work spaces". It's great, you get to carry a tub with all your stuff and clean and set up your desk each day before you start. Each day you can choose a desk that's suited to the same work you do every day. I can also assure you there was no mention of hot desking in any of the information sessions about this wonderful new way of working.

      Also 75cm is pretty high for a minimum height. Especially if you want to do something like stick it on castors.

    • Hamlet on 30/05/2021 - 18:07

      Yeah, $50 cheaper than a similar table from Ikea although the Ikea version is a little bit longer in depth and a wider range of height (70cm-120cm).

      • mangoed on 30/05/2021 - 22:05
        +12

        We have both desks at our home, and both were assembled by myself. Everything about Ikea's desk is better, and $50 is a very modest difference in price considering you're getting significant difference in quality.

          That standing desk also seems to have a cross bar that you could hit your knees on when sitting. Another advantage of the IKEA desk over this.

      Don't waste your money on the cheap shredders. They don't last very long. I've had a few and ended up just paying 269 for a better one at officeworks and haven't had any issues. You get what you pay for especially with shredders.

    • doc dogg on 31/05/2021 - 10:33

      My office has $199 Rexel shedder in the catalogue and it cops an absolute flogging. I'd recommend getting that one over the $60 one if you are shredding hundreds of pages.

      • The Value on 05/06/2021 - 10:16

        Thanks.

        Managed to get Rexel 50x for $50 at Officeworks on clearance.

    • placard on 07/06/2021 - 10:57

      No, those cheap ones can barely take 3x pages at once and then stop after 5 minutes as they get too hot. Either that or the bin fills up so fast it's useless. Also doesn't do staples or paperclips meaning you have to go through and remove them all.

      Get a bigger one. I've just noticed Aldi has this online delivery one for $150. Seems a much beefier unit, can handle much more pages at once and longer run time. Fill the tray up with the papers and walk away.

        Sort of, you can slide the lumbar brace up/down but only by a few centimetres. There’s no other adjustment.

  • Jatacid on 30/05/2021 - 17:08
    +4

    FYI - We trialed a bunch of standing desks a couple years ago and these manual ones are too inconvenient to be able to adjust on the fly. The extra money to get the motorised one is worth it as you'll find you'll leave it in a sitting position and never raise it again after a while whereas with the electric one sometimes you can hop up if you're feeling energized and sit down after a big lunch.

    • thatonethere on 30/05/2021 - 17:12

      That was the same at our work - the manual ones were turfed as people injured themselves adjusting them (!!) or got lazy and didn't do the measurements or didn't bother doing it in the end. We have had a few broken monitors crushed by people raising them into immovable objects. Noone has lost fingers yet.

      The electronic ones which had the digital readouts so you know you have the correct stand and sit settings are the ones we have now.

    • howard22 on 30/05/2021 - 17:22

      i agree with this. I have a manual wind-up standing desk and it really puts me off to 'wind-up' every time i want to change positions. I end up leaving the desk either in a stand up or sit down position for days before I am bothered to change it.

          For $249 I think it's a great entry option into ultrawides. Overall screen quality is good, and it can do 75Hz which makes things slightly more fluid. Movies look great at 21:9. LG OnScreen Control (software tool) makes it really easy to adjust brightness or split the screen on the fly.

          In hindsight since I paid $329 for mine, I probably would have been better off paying extra for the Xiaomi 34" ultrawide (~$450) with higher resolution and refresh rate. But at $249 there isn't really other ultrawides near the price.

      The table top area on the Aldi one is 120cm x 60cm, the IKEA one 120cm x 70cm.

      Both are way to shallow IMHO to used as a ergonomic office desk. By the time you consider space to rest your forearms and then a keyboard, you are already falling off the back of the desk.

    • MightyAtom on 30/05/2021 - 21:19
      +2

      I bought it last year. It’s a cheap chair and you get what you pay for.

      Oddly the the lowest hight on the seat is pretty high about 45cm, not great for anyone short. I’m 1.73 so it’s about the correct hight for me but when I recline my feet lift off the floor. The armrests are made out of a very soft plastic. If you put your full weight on one it flexes and bows pretty severely. The chair is a little bit rattly but not distractingly so.

      On the whole I find it comfortable but next time I’d definitely spend more on a better chair. I don’t expect this one to last more than a few years.

      • PVS7 on 30/05/2021 - 22:44

    I bought an expensive electric standing desk from Costco ($500) coz it was all over TikTok (don’t @ me) and I love it coz it has three memory functions and I can simply change from sit to stand to stand for meetings with one press of a button. Plus it has a built-in drawer and wireless charger along with two USB ports. I can’t imagine using a manual one now. If you have the budget, highly recommend an electric one.

    Anybody who is looking for a dual monitor arm should check out the monitor arm in this sale. The dual gas arms make it basically impossible to set up two screens side by side, particularly if the desk is against a wall. It will be a pain in the neck to set up the first time, but then you just leave it there forever and it's great.
