After lunch, my wife helps me raise the desk (I work from home). We each stand at one end and lift. I hold my end with one hand and slip an empty plastic bin between the two desks (We just moved so we have like 20 of them in our garage). Then I place a bin on my wife’s side.
that doesn't really seem like an adjustable desk. from the title i thought it was a cheap version of something like http://www.geekdesk.com/
Same here, I use a fixed-height desk and a drafting chair. That seems like a much simpler solution than moving a heavy desktop with -- potentially -- lots of stuff on it that could tip over. It didn't occur to me until I read a comment here on on HN that recommended it. I don't remember who made the comment (was it maybe you, there?), but whoever you are: thanks, works great!
If you look at this pic you'll see the tabletop plus two shelves. The shelves and tabletop can all be mounted at different heights. I mounted the shelves below the tabletop and my tabletop is at 104cm but can go much higher.
