> IKEA has a new standup desk called IDÅSEN: https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/idasen-desk-sit-stand-black-dar... […] If you are on the market for a standup desk with good value, pay $100 more and buy IDÅSEN instead of the Berkant desk mentioned in the Tindie campaign.

Given the prices it gets at, why not just go for a non-ikea desk e.g. a basic Jarvis is actually cheaper than that.

In many markets, the options are extremely slim to buy good alternatives. Ikea is almost everywhere - and even in countries where they are not present (I lived in two), businesses exist that can get you their products from neighbouring countries at a 20-25% markup.

When I price it out Jarvis is the same price or more expensive for the same size.
