Having the newest computer, or the most expensive chair is no longer the be-all end-all of offices – no office is complete without an electric adjustable-height standing desk. Shifting between sitting and standing while working reverses the damage done to the health of your mind and body by sitting for extended periods of time, revitalizing your motivation to be productive. It was reported that 65% of people who make the change experienced increased productivity and better concentration ability, in addition to being more active, refreshed, awake, limber and energetic. For workers who spend their days sitting at a desk, making the switch to an adjustable standing desk is indispensable, especially when all you have to do is change your desk for an ameliorated work routine at every level.
The secret of the adjustable standing desk is out, and an increasing number of brands are releasing their own models, causing the journey to selecting the right desk for you to be pretty daunting. This is why we have done the fieldwork for you, and compiled a ranked list of the 10 best standing desk products on the market, with number 1 being the best standing desk you can get.
What is the Best Standing Desk?
-
Autonomous SmartDesk Core
The SmartDesk Core by Autonomous is a solid choice and design, with features we appreciate such as the touch screen handlebar and dual motors. The other models on this list just happen to be better, and with Autonomous now out of business, you can no longer buy a SmartDesk Core.
Price: $689.00
-
Staples Motionwise Electric Height Adjustable Desk
The Motionwise Electric Height Adjustable Desk by Staples is priced on the lower end of this list, but not without notable weaknesses. Though it has a touchscreen handlebar, sleek design, and dual motors, the electronics have a tendency to burn out, and the legs are often faulty.
Price: $499.99
-
IKEA Bekant
IKEA is often regarded as a budget friendly brand, and their standing desk is clean and easy to assemble. The Bekant Standing Desk, however, is not the cheapest on this list, and has turbulent electronics that may stop lifting and descending the desktop after little use.
Price: $519.00
-
Ergonofis The Sway Desk
One of the most expensive desks featured on this list, the ergonofis Sway Desk has reliable technology and a sturdy design, faulted simply in its bulky appearance and inferior handlebar. When the touch screen handlebar is built into the surface of the desktop, not only does it interfere with the way that you arrange your items on your desk, but you cannot switch out the table top. It also only has 2 memory keys, so there is a limit to the desk’s ability to adapt to and remember your routine.
Price: $1,795.00
-
HumanScale EFloat Go
The Human Scale Efloat Go is a good product, rightfully earning its spot for fifth place. The desk’s weaknesses come in its notably high price for less features than the top 4 on this list, and its unattractive, bulky design.
Price: $1500+
-
EffyDesk Business Office Standing Desk
The EFFYDESK Business Office Standing Desk is a great product, with advanced technology, and all of the features you want to look for in a desk. The drawbacks lie in its unattractive, top-heavy design, and inferiority to the top 4 on this list.
Price: $815.00
-
Fully Jarvis Bamboo Standing Desk
The Fully Jarvis Standing Desk is a truly fantastic product, with an ergonomic design, and impressive weight capacity. The price places it as one of the more affordable options on this list, so it is a great choice if you are willing to sacrifice the added value of better products for a lower price.
Price: $599.00
-
Uplift V2 Standing Desk
Voted as the best by the New York Times, the Uplift V2 Standing Desk is an industry staple, with a great design and reliable, advanced technology. It is not farther up, however, because it only works for people that stand between 5’4” and 7’ tall, a much more limited range than many of the desks on this list – especially the top 2 models. The price, however, is much lower than many products on this list, so is an attribute this desk does have.
Price: $599.00
-
Herman Miller Renew Sit to Stand
The luxury furniture company Herman Miller’s take on the standing desk, the Renew Sit to Stand, is the most expensive on this list by far, but is incredibly modern and has a unique design unlike the other products featured on this list. The exorbitant price, however, does not include any features not also present in our voted best desk, and the handlebar is limited when compared to other models.
Price: $2,495.00
-
RISEDESK Rise Standing Desk
The best desk you can get. Time and time again, the furniture startup RISEDESK proves itself to be the best at its niche of electric standing desks. A perfect middle ground between the budget desks on this list, and the overpriced luxury brands, the Rise Standing Desk has all of the features you could want: a touch screen handle bar with 4 memory keys for increased customization, a sleek wooden tabletop, a dual-motor system, and a minimalist and symmetrical design. Every dollar counts more with RISEDESK, with the most features compacted into the best quality product, fit to elevate any room.
