BUILD A STANDING DESK FOR CHEAP IN 2024

[@chickenpotpie79]

Real video title "Buy the desk in in twooo pieceS instead of 1 piece XD

[@HaggisMuncher-69-420]

Yeah which means it's cheaper. I can find an electric frame for 100 bucks. Far less than the one on Ikea for like 700

[@ydziros]

​@@HaggisMuncher-69-420"Buy two finished pieces and connect them" is not DIY.

That’s what I’m here for

@@ydziros my guy it's literally a table composed of a piece of wood and a complicated motorized system. You better have a mechanical engineering degree if you want to break this down even further

[@wkg8469]

did the same, only difference is , I was able to get Ikeas table top from their discount section for 5 dollars, and the legs from amazon for about 140!

[@normanmanio7050]

got mine from walmart (mainstay) and was surprised how sturdy and durable it is. even ratings attest. materials are thick and it look minimalist and sleek. I'm very much happy with my purchase. it cost $136, not made from China. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻❤

[@glitched100]

For clarification, did you get a 73 inch desk or a 63 inch desk

[@Sora_Nai]

This shit ain’t cheap

[@redakaafarani2289]

cheaper than buying a good one. And better quality than amazon chinese desks that break after few months of use

[@chessmagician2024]

its basically half off. what the fuck did you expect it to be? like $100 lmao?

[@afri6976]

@@chessmagician2024 You can DIY it for around 100€, so yes.

[@junialvar]

@@afri6976 I'd love to see what you come up with for 100 euro. If it's stable past 5 ft i'd be genuinely astonished.

[@reactz1287]

how hard is it to attach the top to the frame? Is there any chance you could easily mess it up?

[@mrsbgonzo]

almost bit the bullet and ate that $500 price tag for autonomous frame. Thanks!

[@christheappleman]

Glad I could help! I almost did the same thing and was so glad I went this route instead

[@jake7aylor]

Most desk are on sale right now and cost less then the frame alone.

[@Aj-kc5cv]

@@jake7aylor any suggestions?

[@nolanbeerollin1756]

[@misterxmogu]

Thanks for sharing! Definitely not too handy with organising so will ask my partner to help me 🥲 but so happy that there's a cheaper option to the commercial ones.

[@TheOneAndOnlyTed]

I've wanted get a standing desk for a long time and I could just reuse the top from my current one, but I've always been unsure of how sturdy they would be, especially with the single telescoping leg on each side. Is it very wobbly when extended?

[@karronlaneNOLA]

nice. thanks. i'll be setting up mine soon.

[@ltgamesk6246]

How stable is it? do you get much shake in use? p.s thank you for this! One of the best vids on the topic I have found!

[@maximusaurelius9906]

Did you ever consider going with a pneumatic lift base instead?

[@schnellbratpfanne3606]

another tip: look for kitchen counters from ikea, big and sturdy and cheap!

[@williamlewis1805]

Sturdy enough for joysticks?

[@goldenghostgod5333]

I didn’t care for the cheap table tops so I got a cheap butchers block from Home Depot. It will be here end of week wish me luck lol

[@xxitz_cicoxx2126]

Hello i like the setup and plan to get the same frame is it possible to fit a 180cm or 70inch long table top thank you if you answer Regards

[@chelolelo]

THANKS FOR THIS!! 🎉🙌

[@christheappleman]

You bet! Thank you for checking it out!

[@taegiseoktrash8874]

This is brilliant but I live in HK so getting from Amazon is expensive and usually (not always) stuff is made in China, so I looked on Taobao and found standing desk frames for around 130 USD, for the top I will go with the Ikea route as well, seeing as they have tabletops in exactly the right size that I need ^^, I might consider getting it vinyl wrapped and make it pink!! I havent bought anything yet, checking if I can find it cheaper still XD

[@louismiguel8432]

taobao link?

[@Weeklygamesvaibhav]

Can you make the bottom part as well? Metal frame!

[@christheappleman]

Haha unfortunately I’m not THAT handy, but I’d love to see it happen!

[@roundingcorners]

came across your vid, after some long term usage, is there anything you would change? how does the motor hold up? thanks!

[@christheappleman]

Nothing that I'd change long term other than a few cable management things -- it's hard to plan everything out in advance, haha. The desk has held up great!

[@amoszander047]

How easy is it to take the legs off? For traveling purposes. Some allows to take it off without undoing the screw to table top is that possible with this? Thank you in advance

[@christheappleman]

The legs aren’t super easy to remove. I did take them off when moving, but it’s not something I’d want to do very often. The legs have to be unplugged and unscrewed each time

[@amoszander047]

@@christheappleman ahhh I see! Maybe I’ll copy your setup once I’m done traveling. Thanks for your response and vid! Saved me money for sure.

[@williams1867]

Is SKARSTA the same as the TROTTEN now?

[@jkrules4161]

This is one of those diy projects that you can do for the same price you can buy one

[@a.m.3989]

What lamp is that?

[@williams1867]

exactly what im looking for my next desk

[@David-dc2be]

what’s the max weight this setup would hold?

[@christheappleman]

The legs advertise a max weight of 225lbs, but that includes the desktop and all other components. For me, I haven't tested it beyond about 75lbs, but it doesn't seem to have any issues with a standard desk setup

[@AndreyLLIaBepMa]

Great review! What are the desk sizes? It looks quite small to fit into most of the room corners and big enough that you have extra space for additional tools

[@christheappleman]

This particular desktop that I used is about 65" long, so it takes up a sizable footprint in my office. That being said, you could adjust the legs to fit something smaller like a 40"-50" desk. Thanks for commenting!

[@glorian5732]

Thanks for making this video! The wheels that you bought - do they scratch your floors?

[@christheappleman]

I appreciate the comment! The wheels don't scratch the floors at all in my experience -- They're made from a smooth rubber compound that glides over all the hardwood I've tested it on

[@jimbobcheezeburger2020]

Can you link me to a frame that is able to be collapsible? like be able to rise and then lower to the floor?

[@hashieb8765]

like all the way flat or near flat to the ground? highly doubt anyone sells that. You'll have to custom make that yourself using telescopic legs or something probably

[@erikvallow1444]

Is there any wobble?

[@christheappleman]

No wobble for me! It's just important to get a tight fit on the desk top to avoid any movement when it's in "stand" mode

[@jrr570]

Great video! Thanks for the information.

[@christheappleman]

Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching

Costco has an adjustable desk that is slightly smaller for $330

[@dhuliram1404]

Bro really thinks 250 on the frame is cheap, under $100 is the sweet spot. I’ve managed to build a 4x2 desk with 3/4 partial board and 1/8 tempered hard board top with a $44 frame. Ohh and had $34 left from the budget.

It's not really build your own. It's more buy your own some assembly required

I built the cheapest standing desk and didn't have to ditch my existing desk. It's called standup and stretch every 30 to 45 mins and sip a gulp of water.
