This is true. There was a link though the other day to an affordable standing desk that was $1,500 a pop with unknown shipping, so with that in mind and the other alternatives, I feel like it is a fair statement.
Not a fraction, I'm actually not making a lot on top of material costs. Sourcing the pipe/materials isn't easy either and then figuring everything out is a little tricky as well. If you're in the city and don't want to make 10 trips + to Lowes/Home Depot and want a pre-fitted and finished desk, this is for you.
This isn't identical, but it is in the ball park. They use 3/4" where I use 1" for sturdiness. I debated doing 3/4" but seeing it in person just didn't make me feel like it would be sturdy, and upgrading to 1" wasn't a crazy price. I also used a slightly different kind of pipe.
I have seen that one and it's a significantly better value.
No offense to Op but I purchased an adjustable sitting to standing desk off Craigslist for $50. It's not automatic like the Kickstarter one but at least it's true adjustable and quite honestly significantly cheaper.
For anyone curious, this is what it looks like: www.furniturefromturkey.com/turkish-furniture-manufacturers/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Ikea-jerker-desks.jpg
Not to say this isn't attractive, but for about $130 more, one can buy a motorized base and piece of plywood or pine as a desk surface and have actual sit-stand desk.
How adjustable is it? I could be wrong but from the pics it looks like it only slightly adjusts so you can get you standing height just right. It does not appear to adjust from standing height to sitting height.
Ah, this is correct. Some standing desks are custom made so that what height you set you're stuck with. This can be interchanged and tightened/loosened to change heights standing wise.
