My current desk pictured in the cover image (for those curious) is an Ikea BEKANT.

It is a sit/stand, but I don't have a chair in my office so the up/down functionality is only used by my kids to mess with me. 😆

The cost is pretty reasonable. Only problem with it is a lack of drawers, but that's the price you pay to be a minimalist, I guess! 🤷‍♂️

How long have you been using it and would you recommend it?

I've been using it for ~3 years and yes I'd recommend it with caveat that I stated above: there are no drawers. This isn't an issue for me since I have a standalone drawer/cabinet in my office, but it might be a drawback for some people.
