LOML has always asked for a table she could work at standing, and I thought the idea unworkable (!). But this NYTimes Article made me rethink, and the product from GeekDesk is intriguing.
One customer seems to be very satisfied.
I also asked and got a reply from their customer service (regarding the strength of table and the motor):
Of course, all that comes for a price , around $600 shipped without the top. LOML was very hpeful when she asked me : "so can't you build that yourself?" For all that I wanted to, I could not say 'yes'. The workability of this concept could only be the ease with which the height can be changed. And I can't think of any other shop-built technique that could provide the same functionality, particularly with a monitor and etc on the top.
The other thing is that the table looks somewhat ugly. I guess I could build a lower cabinet for it to hide some of that.
Ideas, comments, suggestions?

The official (i.e. conservative) maximum recommended regular lifting weight for the frames is 176 pounds, which equates to more than enough for the typical top (35-55 lbs), three 24" monitors (~22 lbs apiece), keyboard / mouse, and plenty of desk accessories. The motor and all moving parts come with a two-year warranty, and the steel structural frame comes with a five-year warranty.
