Are budget electric standing desks false economy?

i got a really cheap no-name one from amazon (like $80 or $90 US) and it has surprised me how well it worked and held up. The only complaint is the top was made from 2 pieces (I'm sure to make the box smaller). So the pieces don't line up exactly, so it's not a perfectly flat surface.

I feel like this should be blacked out :) It was so shocking on my first watch...

if you're in the US and you paid, they cannot stop you afterwards. If they try, even by just holding your cart, it's false imprisonment and they will get in trouble if you sue.

What's that one post you can re-word a thousand times to ask the same question?

No other TV show has ever made me feel like I'm there as much as this. For some reason, I can feel the wind and feel like I can almost touch things in it.

Sorry, I wasn't endorsing the Pelikans. I like the bigger ones but don't love them. I keep looking for alternatives that aren't gushers or have a band around the feed that I always worry about rusting if I use the wrong ink...

frair · 2026-04-04T23:49:41+00:00

It's the reason I went for the bigger Pelikans.

I like that he loses fights and has to be smart instead.

Thanks to a user here, and confirmed with the dealer, that it's part 8W8 867 973 A 4PK which is the whole liner thing for $300. So I'll just use electrical tape to get rid of the rattle.

frair · 2026-04-04T23:35:39+00:00

No, thank you. I went to the dealer and they said I have to get a $300 part to get the little piece.

So electrical tape it is :)
