Looks like this BEKANT line is the successor to the Galant (which is my favorite office desk ever for its complete simplicity -- personally not a big fan of keyboard trays, etc -- just give me a nice flat surface with easy height adjustability).<p>I&#x27;ll have to check this out next time I&#x27;m in an Ikea to get a sense of how sturdy it seems but if it is as simply durable as the Galant desks I&#x27;ve had I&#x27;ll be really tempted to pick one of these up.<p>$500 is at once a crazy low price for a sit&#x2F;stand desk relative to what else is out there, but also a reasonable price for such a thing relative to parts+marketing+modest markup (most of this market is highly overpriced corporate &quot;office furniture&quot;, the enterprise software of furniture).
