Hi,

I am looking for a sit-stand motorized desk.
Size is approximately 140x80cm, 55x32 inches, can adjust to bigger, very unwilling to shrink that significantly.
Price - let's say around £500-600..

So far I have two candidates:
Autonomous SmartDesk Core (53x29inches) - £539
FlexiSpot E8 (140x70) - £550

Those are prices before Black Friday discounts.

Do you know anything else that I should look at?
BTW: not expert in subject, if you know what to look/avoid, let me know pls..

Edit:
Usecase: I have a Logitech G29 steering wheel and Logitech G910 keyboard - want to be able to attach wheel with enough stability on low height to 'feel good vibration'..
Desktop tower will be located on separate desk, but will have both monitors, keyboard/mice and steering wheel(when necesary).

regards

In nutshell: satisfied customer.
Baring idiotic delivery method that is - 3 separate boxes with 3 different parts delivered by 3 separate courier runs... They said top is on back-order, but sending feets, cable tray and top independently was little stupid..


In more details:
Legs are not adjustable, they are just big plastico-rubber-ish flat feets.
No wobble at all, it is sturdy as hell.. Have no comparison on noise related to different motorised desks, so cannot comment, but for those few seconds they are actually required when in use - couldn't be bottered to complain even if they would end up being louder than competition...

I am adjusting it to 3 different positions - very low indeed for casual movie watching when I am reclined in chair, normal sitting working position and working when standing - no complaints at all. Obstruction sensors working fine, table surface is leaving fingerprint smudges, but not bothered by that and I have space for reasonably sized mousepad, Logitech G910 full-size keyboard on one side with plenty more space on other to have steering wheel attached most of the time and not getting in way..Have high-refresh monitor on left side, so when I play racing I can just turn it towards steering wheel and it's facing me direct. It makes me sit little off-center but since bought different monitor models with different usecases in mind in first place it doesn't bother me at all.

Desk size - I went for biggest one, 140x80 or 140x70, can't remember, but it's plenty enough for two monitors. Feet distance is adjustable during install, and they are getting installed just under 10cm away from table edge, so some overhang is present.

Overall - like it a lot. It was present for 50th birthday and it's worth it :)
