Improving my home office for under $200 with an electric stand up desk with a DIY wood top. In this video I also give a detailed demonstration on how to apply polyurethane to wood, how to sand polyurethane between coats and how to rub out the final finish for a smooth as glass surface.

Prices have gone up since I made my desk. The exact frame I used is now $170 as of July 2021. The cheapest programmable one I could find is $145.
