I’m sorry but that’s not design that works for me. It can’t seem to decide if it wants to look vintage or modern and just ends up in mess. Buttons and plugs look really out of place. I‘d have preferred more discreet ports and/or built in Qi charging.
Got a tip for us?

Maybe they're giving that model away because it's too ugly to sell. I would prefer a top made out of bamboo, kitchen butcher block, or whatever types of wood Apple uses for their store tables. And with no center drawers to bash my knees.
I was thinking the same thing, in the UK this is sort of old fashioned look that gets chucked out of old peoples homes
Yeah if someone offered me this, I would see if I could find a 90-year-old it would suit.
Should've gone with 3xUSB-C PD and 1xUSB-A slot. Along with a single AC plug for whatever. Otherwise, a super nice standing desk!!
Seen better desks at IKEA!
For this week's giveaway, we've teamed up with Flexispot to offer MacRumors readers a chance to win a Theodore Standing Desk, which is an ideal flexible workspace for Apple device users.
Flexispot offers a whole range of home office furniture and accessories, but it is best known for its height adjustable standing desk options, which are available at a variety of price points.
The Theodore Standing Desk has a classic, elegant design but it is able to meet modern workspace needs with an adjustable height that ranges from 29.5 inches to 49.2 inches. There are controls on the front of the desk for quick adjustments to meet your needs throughout the day, and the motion is handled by a powerful motor built into the desktop.
Made with a solid wood design and a walnut veneer, the Theodore has a timeless design that's ideal for a home office space. At the right side of the desk, there are convenient built-in USB ports, including two USB-A ports and a USB-C port that support fast charging at 18W so you can power your iOS devices right from the desk itself. In the center, there's a pull-out drawer able to hold accessories, and it is sized generously at 21.8 inches wide, 11 inches long, and 2.6 inches deep.
Flexispot designed the Theodore with a quick three-step assembly process that involves installing the tabletop, the desk feet, and connecting the power cords, a process that takes mere minutes after it arrives.
Priced at $499, the Theodore Standing Desk measures in at 47.6 inches long and 23.6 inches wide, with a desk depth of 4.5 inches. The size makes it ideal for small working spaces. The Theodore Standing Desk can hold up to 99lbs, so it will hold your Mac and a couple of displays and other items.

Sharp edges, plastic veneer instead of solid wood for sure, not very stylish would-be retro look, height adjustment and USB power supply are fed from the air (cable to the socket not shown, because this shopworn certainly looks funny): I pass... the dump is somewhere else...
A table that wants to make you familiar with dried flowers and gramophones.
Sup, girl & thanks advertising team!

Very American design - this time it is no loss that Europeans are excluded from the raffle
It is hilarious to hear the criticisms of a giveaway. i mean, we all understand opinions, but let it ride for those interested.
Those legs... they are the same on all motorized desks it seems.
They need to design something with better style.

Um so am I missing something… where does the power come from… in all the photos there doesn’t seem to be a power cable to the desk to allow it to go up and down and power all those accessories… 🤔
I’d take it in a heartbeat. I need a desk, badly.
I might have to paint it, though.

The legs are just like any motorized standing desk on the market. The top is old fashioned.. I guess it's someones idea of nice looking, but not mine. If using that that as computer desk, in a sitting position, the thickness would make it unusable for a lot of people. (No room for your legs!)
Put one of those blankets from the other article over this ugly desk. Kill two ads with one post! Read this post quickly before the moderators chop it for being “off topic”. Fight the power!
"giveaway" is a word for advertisement, where the cost of the ad is a single desk. no one is "giving" you something out of kindness.
