There used to be several hydraulic sitting/standing desks that were split level, with a separate motorized lifting shelf for monitors. The office furniture company my girlfriend work for 10 years ago made one, as did the usual suspects like Herman Miller and Steelcase. Now the norm is to use a hydraulic monitor arm to adjust the screen height. You can get a tray version of the same thing for a laptop.

Yeah, but at least you pay the sticker price. There are no surprises. In Canada and the US you pay the tax when you get to the cashier, on top of whatever the sticker price is. The % varies from province to province and state to state, but in some places it's well into the teens.
Ikea does make some crap, but their office furniture has always been pretty solid. Their Galant desk system is built on a heavy duty steel frame. I've used Galant desks a lot, both in offices I worked in and at home. I'm working on an L shape one right now. I weigh about 240 pounds and have no problem standing on my desk. It looks like Galant might be being phased out/or combined with a new system called Bekant, which the lifting desk they sell is part of. I'm sure it's quality.
There are tons of standing tables out there built on the same kind of hydraulic pistons that you find in chairs, with or without wheels. Sometimes referred to as "pub tables" as well. Search amazon for "standing laptop table", they've got a bunch.
