This is a simple DIY adjustable desk leg and this helps when you feel tired standing or sitting all the time, so let me explain how this works in a second. This project works for an already-built standing desk, the video tutorial won’t show you how to make a desk, just how to adjust the legs of an old one.

What you’ll need is a few wood boards, wood dowels, and your effort. It’s a simple, robust leg build that is super cheap and doable. The downside to this project is the stress of pulling out all 4 legs of the table desk and adjusting it to a different height. Check the link to learn more.

You don’t need to be experienced to get this done, it’s effortlessly easy, and durable.
