Jaxson:

 

I have the unofurniture evolve-electric-standing-desk

would easily recommend.  Get the extended height range one though as it's a bit faster.
Dual motors, long warranty etc.  Basically commercial in nature.

Solid/reliable.

Cost a bit but has been bullet proof so far.

Cable management will become your next issue.  I've done well with simple cable wrap and a usb hub monitor cutting down the amount of cables.

Everything on your desk will need a cable though.  As I look around left to right: Laptop, Speaker power and connection wire left to right, wired keyboard from PC underneath, streaming light, web came, monitor, alexa show, desk lamp, plus a bunch of usb dongles etc.  It's everywhere and needs to be managed as the desk goes up and down.

 

 

 

 

I screwed a six-plug, individually switched power board to the underside of the desk beside the cable hole. All the powered items on the desk, including the desk, plug into that and there's one power cable to manage down the back of the desk.

I bought one of these two years ago, it didn't have the black mat on it back then which would've put me off.

 

The only reason I mention it is because to be honest it rarely gets raised or lowered, it still works flawlessly, but most importantly it was a third of the price of everything else I looked at even after adding their ridiculous shipping rate.

 

Looking back I would've preferred 1400mm wide but I can always replace the top on this with some ply if I wanted the space that badly.

 

A couple of cable trays underneath, a power board, a monitor arm and a dock for our three devices and it's all sorted.

My new standing desk (Flexispot E7) turned up yesterday. I've got wonky knees and want to spend more time standing to keep them moving.

 

I've still got more lighting to do (another upfiring strip light and maybe bias lighting behind the monitor and an led strip begind the desk) and some more cable management but I'm very happy with it.
