  [Request] High quality stand up desk (preferably extra wide)

  VIVO makes decent ones, at least in the L-shaped three-motor variety.

  What's are home office purchases you've made that have more than paid for themselves?

  Most people have hit on these, and I wanted to give my impressions. I just started a new job which is travel/WFH, and did the following: - Electric adjustable height desk - bought this [VIVO Adjustable Dual Motor](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08P56RD43?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share) base, and built a top (98”W x 32”D) to match my existing workbench. This included buying a nice piece of walnut to make a riser for my 3 monitors, the riser pieces I 3d printed. YMMV, I might buy a monitor arm in the future. I have some back issues, and being on my feet, with my monitors at eye level have been a game changer. - Under-desk cable trays for cable management. No more spaghetti tangle hanging off the back - I bought 2 packs of these: [Cable Trays](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DK6K894G?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share) - Under-desk mounted 8- receptacle power strips (2 ea). This leads to only having 3 cables between my desk and the walls (2x power, 1x CAT6) - Docking station for work laptop (work provided) - KVM switch with remote to jump between the 4 different computers connected to my setup. - Logitech MX Ergo S Plus Trackball - Swing arm desk lamp. This is an IKEA TERTIAL ($20) mounted on a shelf that is above the desk, so it can be out of the way when I need it. - Good chair. Currently I have one that was extra from my previous work, not sure what it is. Looks like a Leap v2 clone, it works well. - If you don’t live alone, a good lock for the door. My wife has a bad habit of doing a Kool-Aid man impression into my office even with a closed door, and a “please do not interrupt, in a meeting” sign on the door. My best piece of advice: get the largest desk you can for your space. This is why I custom-built mine. I need to look at plans sometimes, and the room this desk gives me is perfect for my needs. As a side note, this desk is in a 10.5’x10.5’ office, and shares space with a 98”Wx30”D workbench, a large toolbox, and an extra chair. I still have space to inflate a full-size air mattress in the room.

  Best hiking boots for men - Suggestions needed.

  I'm currently super happy with my Vivo Tracker Forest ESC, it is barefoot style, so it depends. For standard style boots, the best I've had were Scarpa, search for the Made in Italy, resolable models.

  What's the current best bang for buck standing desk that WFH folks love the most?

  I been using vivo for years now. I just bought the legs and built the desktop myself out of some plywood that I stained and sealed.

  A cheap Vivo frame off of Amazon and a piece of 5/8” OSB with a finished 3/8” plywood glued to the top and cut to whatever size your heart desires that I sanded stained and polyurethaned myself a decade ago has been going strong for me for the past 4 or 5 years and survived a move. The desk top was on a static frame I had also made prior to the standing frame. Keep telling myself I’ll get a nice one eventually but the “it’s not broke so why fix it” has won out thus far. Can probably do the entire desk for $300 including the stain and poly. Electric disc sander not included

  What's the current best bang for buck standing desk that WFH folks love the most?

  I took the gamble on a Vivo L frame from Amazon during the pandemic. 4 monitors, an unbelievable amount of cables to support a 4x KVM, phones, bricks, strips, etc. It kinda feels like it's working harder with everything but it's been a champ from day 1. They claim 330lbs. I haven't tried that but nonetheless: https://a.co/d/7MPZMlN

  Looking for L-shaped standing desk to upgrade my space

  I have this VIVO desk and honestly for the price I don't think there's much better. I spent a ton of time during the pandemic looking for a corner desk with a rounded inside angle and this was pretty much it under $1,000. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C6W72N73?ref=cm_sw_r_mwn_dp_WPJTRMKYKNK06AWJPMP9&ref_=cm_sw_r_mwn_dp_WPJTRMKYKNK06AWJPMP9&social_share=cm_sw_r_mwn_dp_WPJTRMKYKNK06AWJPMP9&language=en-US&skipTwisterOG=1&titleSource=avft-a
