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

  Have had my uplift for years. It’s absolutely marked up foreign made material but it works well and stays sturdy. I have the 80” wide commercial model. I would consider it BIFL. The leg system is very stout and even if the motors stop working you can find replacement parts all over the internet. Worst case you end up with a standard desk. The desk tops come in many different flavors. I went for the standard and it has held up very well. I use an X-Large mouse pad under my mouse and keyboard though. You can find the same setup elsewhere for cheaper but UpLift makes it easy. I grabbed mine during COVID. They had stock during the run on WFH equipment so I snagged my setup. My wife has a cheap no-name Amazon setup and hers is also doing okay. I will say her desk top doesn’t appear to be as durable but that’s any easy thing to replace down the road.

  should we spend $800 on a wood standing desk surface?

  I've had an Uplift since 2016 and it's been fantastic. The control panel died last year and they replaced it for free.

  Love both of the Uplift Desks in our house. Pro tip: If you are near a brick and mortar Uplift store, (there's one in Austin, not sure about elsewhere), they probably still offer their scratch & dent deal. They had a selection of like 15 different size/style desktops that had barely noticeable damages, dents, scratches, or chips, but were sold for just the price of the leg bases, which at the time was 450. I got a 60" and my husband got an 84" desk - each the same price. I think we had to take the desktops home with us then - at the time they didn't offer that deal to be shipped.
