As a person who works from home a lot I must take my health into consideration. My employer does offer support in furniture for home office e.g. desk and chair, but after careful consideration I think it would be better if I build one by myself.
I’m used to focusing on my screen for quite a long time, say 2 hours. This is definitely not a good practice and may cause HIVD (herniation of intervertebral disc). One of the precautions is – work on your feet! Just stand up and you can continue your work on screen.
That is to say, having a height adjustable desk could be one of the best options. I started from pre-assembled standing desk at first, however, they are pricey and their desktop are usually made from cheap materials including pine, plastic or even particle boards.
Then I decided to make it my own. Obviously I need two stuff – desk frame and desktop. Very fortunately I have found quite a few desk frame products on Amazon.co.uk and the brands include Flexispot, MAIDeSITe and so on.

For the sake of my wallet I added this MAIDeSITe T1 Basic to my cart. With around £180 only, it still offers:
- Powerful motor & stylish panel
- Adjustable height 72-120 cm
- Suitable desktop size from 50*100 to 80*180 cm
- 4 heights in memory
This desk frame is sold by MAIDeSITe and dispatched from Amazon, so you can enjoy the speedy delivery by Amazon with such a great deal.

And now since the legs are in place, it’s a good time to pick a desktop. A trendy option is the veneer worktop (yes, the one used in kitchen!) from IKEA, and from a comment below a Flexispot product I must say that it looks pretty nice!

Now all the parts are on the way, and I’m excited to see them work together!
