You can now purchase standings desks for roughly $300-400 with great warranties. What's the factor here that drives this above your competitors?

@shakenbake1980 We think of it as follows: 1. Price: That $300-$400 is not really a fully baked price, as there is meaningful shipping and assembly costs that you have to add to that. (The hidden costs are often enough to basically double the listed cost.) For us shipping is included, and our team in most major metro areas will help you get your desk assembled for free or for very little cost. 2. Make / Finish: As I've noted, these desks are made in the USA, run on super high quality actuators from seasoned manufacturers, etc. The insides of this desk are the same as those you would find in a $1,500-$2,000 table. This is, in part, why you will find Giraffe desks in the IDEO offices, for example. 3. Design / Modules: The table is designed to allow us to continue to focus on making your workspace a happier, healthier and more creative space. Specifically, we have carved out a place for custom modules that you can drop in to your Giraffe desk. This means you will be able to slot in a bucket to organize the loose objects that float around your desk, or a pot to hold a beautiful plant that makes you smile, or a trey to doodle in 3D with some legos while on conference calls, etc. This is the direction of our focus, as we try to help bring innovation to every Giraffe holder's workbench.
