I really like having one. I just wish it didn't wobble and squeak as much as it does.

Next time though, I will select by researching stability / non-wobbly reviews, such as these:

About 3 years ago, I bought a relatively cheap one from Amazon-- for the price, it's quite decent.

Note on Depth: I like that it's 30" deep-- My preference would be 36", just so I can sprawl out more. So, I would keep depth in mind. I think 24", which is a common depth, is too narrow.

- $210 for base: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08FT9JVW7/

- $250 for tabletop: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B083LLGX14/

= $460 total

I bought it thanks to an employer's WFH covid stipend. If I get such a home office stipend again, I will likely go with this sort of brand which is at least on the top 5 list of non-wobbly desks linked above.

- Price: $850 https://www.amazon.com/Vari-Electric-Standing-Desk-Adjustabl... note: it does not have a cross beam, so it might not be the best choice. I will likely keep searching

I would focus on Reddit, from my research a couple of years ago BTOD sold their own desks and so had a reputation for being biased.
