Where do you even get the $3,000 standing desk? I am don't even compare prices and I got mine from Amazon for $200-$300. Sure the quality might not be the best but I just can't see there are people buying $3000 standing desks.

This desk (used to?) fit the budget, for example: https://www.architonic.com/en/p/holmris-b8-milk-classic-1070...

Essentially, you pay a lot for fancy design.

Early in the pandemic I bought a decent motorized standing desk for $520. It's nice, but I could very easily imagine a desk that costs 6x that. I would never buy that desk, but some people go for that sort of thing.
