I built my own standing desk with a piece of pine from home depot, and some white paint, and 4 sturdy 6" brackets. Wall mounted it and now I have a $100 standing desk.

I think making a standing desk is great, but you haven't solved the problem people have. They are all pretty expensive, but don't have to be.

Additionally if I am being honest, the craftsmanship simply isn't there for a $1,500 desk. The welds look awful.

I paid $1,500 shipped for a driftwood dresser, made to order, and to spec. It was about 10x more material and labor, at the same cost, and it was made by an amazing craftsman.

The problem you should be solving isn't 'making another standing desk' it's making an affordable, quality standing desk that is accessible to people.
