  This is a 2 stage frame - meaning it can't go below 69cm. 3 stages provides more stability and a lower setting if required. Something like this: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/403153421382

    When you say stability do you mean no wobble and more grounded? Ive considered Aimezo too.

    Thanks for the heads up. Measured my current desk set up and leg length is only 64cm!

  Don't think it supports 2200mm. Will it make it more wobbly?

    Nickelback on 16/09/2022 - 12:35

    Yeah it doesn't but I'm hoping Bunnings might've something around 2000mm mark. Or I could perhaps trim the board myself. Might need more work now that i think of it…hmmm

      Having just gone througha the same journey, i really didnt rate the timber at bunnings or the tabletops from Ikea. Online office supply stores tended to have the best range at 25mm thickj and varying depth/width for about the same price as the equivilent bunnings size. I landed on 2000 x 800.

        any particular stores better or have more range?
        I agree Bunnings/Ikea tops aren't the best choice or range.

        Which store did you end up getting the desk top from? Yeah agree, even reviews on Bunnings website are a bit mixed for the desk top.

  I have this from last year (WH Frame + Oz oak TOP) but only go with 1200mm width due to space constraint … so far been great. missed out the walnut colour. Good thing you could upgrade to longer size desk if needed

  Thanks OP! Any recommendations for a white table top around 1600-1800mm?

  I went through the whole "how would a sit stand desk be" phase and realized some things. I looked at all the options and compared them and ended up realizing the Trotten underframe with manual adjustment for $259 at IKEA with 10 years warranty was the best value.

  So here is what I realized. Even when motorized, the height of the desk is not something you want to be deciding every time you decide to be at your desk.
  If you want the benefits of standing at your desk you will most likely keep it in the standing position most of the time and only lower it occasionally when you feel like a change. This means I wouldn't bother with motorized options but here are some things I learned about motors. Dual is better than single motor and Linak motors are the best but with Linak and long warranty the price instantly becomes at least double. That's out of the question for me the price is too much. IKEA Trotten underframe is what I concluded was the best value and the occasional manual height adjustment is not a big deal for me on the plus side it's quieter than dual motors. Also if motors fail you are stuck with a desk that can't change it's height anymore.

  One more important thing. If you plan on putting a lot of things on the desk or a monitor arm make sure your tabletop is solid wood. Particle board/hollow centre tabletops will bow and monitor arms with break the table and fall over. If you want to make your shopping day one stop then get the IKEA Karlby but it's expensive and one problem is it's shallower than your average desk at 63cm. There are cheaper options at bunnings that are about 80cm in depth.

    how do you find what motor is used? I am looking at https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/403153421382 mentioned by bargainshooter up earlier in the thread.

      If it uses Linak motors it will mention it pretty clearly. It is something that is listed in the description, not hidden somewhere in the user manual.
      The cheaper IKEA sit stand Bekant uses Bosch motor, which you might think is a pretty good brand but plenty of feedback says they fail quickly.

      Most of these desks on eBay/Amazon and even some local shops that sell $1500 desks all use Jiechang motors which are a cheaply made attempt at copying Linak motors. Many say they are not reliable I would think they have worse reliability than the Bosch.

      But it also depends how long you expect to keep and use the desk. If it is just temporary work from home and only needs to last 6 months maybe Jiechang motors are fine. If you want it to last 20 years it would be a good idea to spend the extra for Linak motors and something with 10 year warranty. IKEA Idasen is one off the shelf example which has 10 year warranty, I don't recommend the tabletop is comes with though so probably better to get the underframe only and buy a solid wood tabletop from bunnings to put on top.

          @[Deactivated]: Sorry I was about to edit my comment "last 6 months" to "last 6-12 months".

          Yeah Idasen uses Linak but it is very expensive. But for the Linak and 10 year warranty I think last time I checked all other local places will be $1500+ for the entire desk (underframe & tabletop). So you can save a bit of money with Idasen underframe only & bunnings tabletop. Some local options come with goodies though like cable management and wireless charger etc, not sure if that is worth the extra cost to you.

          Also just remembered Idasen has it's downsides. Main one is it only has raise and lower buttons, if you want to use memory you have to use the App with bluetooth.
          The Idasen's front back wobble stability is one of the best but it has some side wobble. Some say you can improve this by pushing the legs "outwards". But usually I don't think this is much of a problem, you don't usually bump the side of your desk most of the time you bump the front.
          As I already mentioned the tabletop that comes with the "full Idasen desk" is hollow and not good.

          And just in case you consider the new "Uppspel" underframe. It is the same price as the Idasen but the Uppspel only has 3 year warranty. And some people have already spotted the controller is identical to a common Jiechang one so the desk most likely uses Jiechang motors. The only positive of the Uppspel is the legs are towards the back and give you more leg freedom while still being really stable. But high price, 3 years warranty and Jiechang motors means I did not even consider it. Also Uppspel tabletop is the worst it's basically particle board covered in many layers of acrylic material. It's soft so damaged easily and not suitable for monitor arms/clamps.

          By the way my requirements were a bit specific I needed the table top to be 180x80cm at minimum.
          If you have a store close to you so you can deal with driving it back yourself for warranty you can take your chances with a store like this which has 10 years warranty. https://standdesk.com.au/ This is just one example I found who had 180x80cm tabletop.

              @[Deactivated]: Sorry I wasn't detailed enough lol. Where I said "Idasen.. if you want to use memory you have to use the App with bluetooth."
              I mean to program the memory you need to use bluetooth. Once you program the 2 memory options, you double tap the up or down button and the desk will automatically go to the programmed height.
