cloud gaming has given me this same revelation. It's as portable as a Switch but the gaming experience isn't limited by the hardware in hand. Connectivity is important for the experience, though.

The 2/5 star rating is a shame to me, because this has not been my experience. The warranty is 10 years, not 1 year. The reviewer is mistaken about that. I've owned a Bekant Standing Desk for 3 years, and used it every day without incident. I recommend it to anyone in the market for a standing desk!

The failure modes I consider most probable at my home are a whole-house power surge, and a loss of structure (fire, natural disaster). With a 1 Gbps (synchronous) FTTH connection, and a Backblaze subscription, that's about all the peace of mind I need!
