Review on ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ Safco Products Muv 45"H Stand-Up Desk: Fixed Height Computer Workstation with Keyboard Shelf in Cherry โ€“ Efficient and Ergonomic Solution by Katie Miller

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great but read the reviews and check your height.

It's a bit high to type on, but it's good enough. The keyboard tray (I have a keyboard but don't usually use it) seems too low to me, but I haven't actually used it. or keyboard shelf) seems "perfect" to me at a normal desk height (with castors). Good enough, and based on feedback on their "adjustable" desk model, I settled on this one. I debated 4 or 5 stars, but ultimately settled on 4 stars based on Revain's distinction between 4: I like it and 5: I like it. I like the concept of a bar table; I love this particular table. Have a standing desk - or a "sitting desk" nearby and be willing to work at both for a trial period of at least a few weeks. I've been standing at the kitchen table for a bit during the trial period to see if I really like the concept and I'm in great health to begin with so I love it. If I can no longer stand physically, I think that I will use such a computer for many years. Price: Only you can decide if it's worth $200 to you. I thought for a long time whether I should assemble the table or buy it ready-made. In the end, since there is no IKEA store in my city, the cost of shipping IKEA products will negate all the main advantages, and besides, I have to build it myself. I could spend an entire Saturday (or maybe two full days) on a large table building project, including wreaking havoc and maybe building an imperfect tableโ€”although that would have made for a great building experience. But I decided I couldn't waste time with this and I'd rather take a risk and assemble it myself. Assembly: Took 1-2 hours, including unpacking and disposing of the rubbish. There was a small torn piece of plastic on the bottom "leg" near the right rear wheel, but it's at the back of the table so you can't see it. Having wheels is great, especially if you have hard floors! Sometimes I roll it out into the "workspace". Another tip: TAKE BREAKS. I would recommend taking a 2 minute break every 20 minutes. Shift both mentally and physically. write a novel? Clean up the bathroom for a few minutes or take out the trash. Do something else physically/mentally and then get back to work. Take a 5-10 minute break every hour, following the same principles. Explaining why this actually makes our "work hours" more productive is beyond the scope of this review, but it is. To attempt.
