Looking for something that meets the following criteria, (in order of priorities)
Sturdy enough for work
Just big enough to hold a laptop and external monitor
Folds down or can be put away at night or if I have guests staying over
Sit-stand capable
Good design (i.e. not ugly)Willing to spend top dollar!

https://www.ikea.com…pockets - Those trestles fold up?!nb
- If the fold up size is basically as big as the desk, not much pointnb
- you didn't mention anything about folded size. You can't change the rules like thatESKEMA
- and you can store the monitor on the shelvesESKEMA
- Oh I meant “fold down” as in stuffed into a closet or somethingnb
- damn, $200 on that, fuck ikeasyst_m

- I have one of these. The board only rests on the uprights so it can be lifted off and stored upright and the trestles can be stacked.face_melter
- Don't like, those trestles take too much spacei_was
- ^pango
- Yeah, don't bother with trestles. I've got that set-up, and I regret it. A lot of space taken up for nothing, and they're a bitch to hoover under.Continuity
