I want to finally get a desk that I can sit at comfortably.

Primecables has sales often and is having one right now for standing desks

https://www.primecables.ca/c-18885-sit-stand-desk-solutions

They're somewhat Canadian, and this is what others have recommended to me. But I would think that the products are cheaply made, and the company simply imports from places with cheap manufacturing.

On Costco's website I see similar desks, more expensive but Costco has a nice return policy.

Any recommendations?

Primecable's products are manufactured in China

I have one of their chairs and it's a step above Staples. I wouldn't recommend buying a standing desk from them.

Maybe Ikea if not Costco?

I didn't know Ikea had them. I will look

Ikea's standing desks are built pretty good and look nice, but not many of them have height preset buttons on the controllers. One of them also requires an app on your phone to set and use presets, and the app is basically broken from what the reviews of it say.

So do your research and look into reviews on the model(s) you're interested in.
