I’ve been looking for an affordable sitting desk because of my back pain. But mostly, when I did my research, it was out of my budget range. I want to spend less than RM1,000.
Named it, from anew to omnidesk and flexispot—I’ve seen more than just these three brands that sell standing desks.
So, I decided to do more research this time on Shopee Malaysia, searching for an affordable version.
After endless research, I have found a standing desk under RM1,000 with a good review. That’s when I said to myself, let’s purchase it to curb my back pain from sitting too long.
About South Wales Smart Adjustable Desk
I bought this desk in early February with my own money. There are two ways to place an order—ready stocks or pre-order. So, I chose pre-order because it was around RM400, lesser than the ready stocks. But, when I checked back the latest price, they had increased the price already.

Lili thoughts
When I purchased this table (Oak, 120 x 60cm), it was a big risk because zero people purchased it, so I asked the customer service many questions. Honestly, they are attentive and patient—one of the reasons why I bought them.
The hardest part of this standing desk is the assembling. To begin with, I suck at assembling things, even Ikea items, okay. It took me two to three hours to ensure this standing desk was sturdy. But that’s because I forgot to ask for an instruction video from them. If I had asked earlier, it would take me less than that.
The longest time to assemble is the base since that’s the critical part where it makes your standing desk adjustable to your height.
I’ve been using this standing desk from Shopee for almost three months, and I think it’s the best purchase from Shopee ever!
The motor is not loud, and I can adjust the height manually. But, the downside is you can feel your feet hurt a bit if you are standing for a long time. So, you should purchase a mat so it won’t hurt as much.
Regarding my back pain, having a standing desk does help because I get the best of both worlds. I can stand when I sit for too long and vice versa.
So far, I’ve not experienced any mishaps yet, but since this table has a five-year warranty, I hope to use it forever.
