Well it has only taken 6 months but i now have a sit/stand desk. I did eventually brave Ikea as i really wanted to see a desk in action rather than buy direct from 'tinternet. I am glad i went, after looking at the Bekant and Trotten i decided they were too wobbly and would probably vibrate when the embroidery machine is going full pelt so i decided on the
Idasen. It is a beast of a desk but very easy to put together and no wobble in site. At it's lowest it is probably a inch lower than my old table which is the perfect height for sewing for me. It is a pleasure to be able to cut out without the aches and pains and the motor is so quite. The only downside is that HE keeps playing with it.
I also bought a clear self healing work bench protector from Rhino Cutting Mats uk. for the top.
I can't believe what a difference my new table and chair have made to my motivation, i now look forward to going into the sewing room again.
