Ask HN: What desk do you use at home, where did you get it, and do you like it?

I'm finding it very difficult to find the right desk for me. Amazon is not proving helpful, nor IKEA or Etsy or Wayfair or Overstock or google in general. I need new ideas!

I got a Flexispot EC 3 standing desk with 55”w x 28”d curved front top (curved front tops are no longer offered) and added one of their monitor arms. Paid about $525 for the desk and $80 for the arm. I’ve used it for about 15 months and it is fabulous. If I did it again I get the newer EC-4 base (wasn’t available at the height of covid) and motor to be able to lower the desk another couple inches when sitting.

They have other less expensive options too.

I got a Jarvis standing desk several years ago. My work got me used to having a Geekdesk, but they were really expensive. The Jarvis had nicer features, like an inward curve, power grommets, and a memory bank for programmable heights. And best of all, it was maybe 60% the price of a Geekdesk.

I got a Jarvis too. It’s an awesome desk. Just don’t make the mistake and forget the memory module. It makes work a bit easier :D

I like the bamboo texture.
