Amazon has a decent selection at a reasonable price. Just make sure to get a dual motor. I may have to use fixed legs because my top is about 300lbs.

You can even use them to put your books on shelves, which is what you see in my display case. DELTA 62, Jayman and ADAMANTIUM 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a table/furniture maker that does incredible work, and recently made a sit/stand desk similar to what you're looking to do. When he demonstrates the lift mechanism towards the end of the video (at around the 23:20 mark) he mentions that the Flexispot base he used is rated for up to 355 lbs. Looks like he used their E7 T-Frame here, which is good for desks from 47.2" to 80" in width ......but, unfortunately, it's pretty pricey. I couldn't afford his stuff, but his videos are still interesting to watch. Here's his video on making the lift desk. I've queued it up to where he starts talking about and installing the lift base on the desk.

I have some that I've been using for nearly 10 years, and have never had a problem with them. Occasionally you'll need to tighten up your set screws, as gravity will pull the two ends apart, but it's not a big deal.

I only said what I said because after about 2 or 3 shipments, my home office ends up looking like that. About the best part is when it's clean again... for a few days, anyway. Well, that and the tons of glorious bubble wrap I save up to pop to release stress or just to pop it for fun. Yeah, I'm odd like that.
