Show HN: Compact standing desk designed for small London flats

https://www.urbanergo.co.uk/products/quiet-compact-standing-desk-white-frame
1•cdublew•1mo ago
Hi HN,

I'm Carson, founder of UrbanErgo. After struggling with cramped WFH setups in my London flat (like many of you probably do), I built a website selling a compact standing desk specifically for small spaces.

Most standing desks are 120cm+ wide. This one's 100 × 60 cm - designed for bedroom corners, alcoves, and studio flats where standard desks won't fit.

Specs: Swedish-engineered dual motors, 10-year warranty, whisper-quiet (<50dB), 120kg capacity. December price: £595.

I'm genuinely looking for honest feedback: - Does the product page communicate the value clearly? - Is £595 reasonable for this spec/warranty combo? - What would make you consider buying vs. a Flexispot/IKEA alternative?

I launched a month ago with zero sales despite traffic, so clearly I'm missing something. Brutal honesty welcome - I'd rather pivot now than waste another month.

Happy to answer any questions about the engineering, manufacturing, warranty, etc.
