Namely the frame. How do the motors drive the legs and what kind of motors are used? I could see linear guides or wheels being used to guide the legs and keep them from wobbling.

I'd Frankenstein a broken office chair hydraulic cylinder and a normal desk, but most of these things use two opposing tracks that mesh with a gear that's mounted onto the motor. Easy enough to have the same setup opposing it and a bearing set for the second gear. Then it's just a case of a circuit that can reverse the current to the motor.

It may be easier and definitely cheaper to make gear assembly and crank to raise/lower instead of motor powered.

Wouldn't most hydraulics be way too short for a standing desk? Hell, they'd be short for a regular desk. My chair has like 5" of movement

If you have the crank wouldn't you just need a motor to move the crank?

Linear actuators. I have no idea how they prevent wobbling.
