Is there a consensus on the Arkose value equivalent of adjustable-height desks?

I'm not interested in working standing up, but I am thinking of
- using as conventional computer desk
- raising it for use as a workbench/studio table (light duty electronics, art etc)
- raising it to get the front of bike on turbo underneath for Zwift/equivalent
The IKEA ones don't seem to get great reviews for stability/lifting power.

[Edit: it does look like they have a newer/sturdier IDÅSEN office grade one now]

Flexispot I'd say.

I guess it depends what you're lifting and how often. I worked at a mate's recently and needed to adjust the hieght. I didn't have any issues lifting a heavy laptop stand, monitor, laptop, ps2, keyboard, etc.

Not sure I'd be up for winding the little handle everyday as a a full on sitstand desk. But if you're taking about a couple of times a week, I'd think it would be fine.
