where can I buy a standing desk in the UK?
-
I want to buy a standing desk, and I am willing to spend money on it. It doesn't seem possible to find the model I want in the UK. I'd also like to actually try the product before I buy it. Is there some kind of standing desk showroom I can actually visit (preferably, in London)? Do you have any other model recommendations? Details of search and criteria inside. I very much wanted the http://www.nextdesks.com/terra, available in the US. It doesn't seem to be available in the UK (or am I mistaken?) They said that they do ship to the UK, but all further inquiries about whether the desk is appropriate for non-US voltages, and whether they do UK rather than US plugs, were met with a resounding silence, which I am assuming means no. So I am looking for alternatives. My criteria for my standing desk is basically something as close to the NextDesk Terra as I can get, i.e.: - well-made and reliable, aesthetically pleasing - adjustable to sitting and standing positions - programmable memory - I want to be able to hit a button and have it go to the right height immediately - the whole desk surface should rise, i.e. not interested in the http://www.ergodesktop.com/ - available in UK voltage and with UK plugs - preferably not much more than £1000 or thereabouts, though I can be convinced In an ideal world, I would get the NextDesk Terra in a UK-friendly make. I would love any suggestions on whether this would be possible - are there UK distributors for it, for example? Failing that, I'd love to hear any other model recommendations you might have. Ideally, I would like to be able to try the desk before I buy it, but the only seller of standing desks I know of in London which has http://www.backinaction.co.uk/ did not appear to do a model within my budget which has programmable memory. So I'd also welcome any suggestions of any places I could go to in London which might sell standing desks. Many thanks in advance, on behalf of my rapidly failing lower back!

Answer:
The London hub for office (and home office) furniture is Clerkenwell/Farringdon. http://www.steelcase.com/en/products/category/tables/adjustable/airtouch/pages/overview.aspx and others are on the Farringdon Rd. Down by St Johns Rd there are a bunch of others. For example, Elite Furniture have a http://www.elite-furniture.co.uk/products/height_adjustable_desking_range.html. http://www.efgoffice.co.uk/. http://www.humanscale.com/ have standing desks. All are in Farringdon, as are many others whose names I don't recall. So yes - basically do your research on who is in the area. I don't know much about standing desks but my guess is that if you're going to find it, then Farringdon is your place.
