What to Look for When Finding the Best Standing Desk

• Surface material

Almost every standing desk can be ordered in a variety of materials with prices to match. Laminate surfaces—that is, a layer of wood over the core—tend to be the least expensive, while solid desks made of oak, maple, mahogany, or other wood types are more expensive. The bamboo table straddles the middle and is not only a good compromise but also very durable.

• Stablize

The higher a sit standing desk is raised, the more likely it is to wobble or tip over, especially if it has a lot of weight on it. If you can, it's worth checking out a standing desk for yourself, raising it to its maximum height and shaking it back and forth to see how it works.

• Minimum and maximum height

This is how far the standing desk height can be raised or lowered. Most will fall somewhere around 25" to 50"; better desks will have a wider range, although the difference at the ends is usually only a few inches.

• Maximum Weight Supported

If you plan to use a adjustable height desk for anything other than a computer—perhaps you like to dance on the desk—then you need to be aware of its maximum supported weight. Smaller, less expensive desks won't be able to hold as much weight as more expensive models.

• Easy to assemble

When it comes to assembling your standing desk, all you need is a screwdriver and a little patience. All the models we tested came with the necessary screws, Allen keys and a clear instruction manual. Still, some desks are easier to assemble than others, and most desks—especially those with larger tops—require the help of a second person.

Motorized or non-motorized?

How much effort do you want to put into lifting a standing computer desk? The vast majority of standing desks are motorized, meaning you can change the height of your desk with the push of a button. However, if you're looking to save some money -- and you don't plan on moving your desk around much -- then you might want to look into non-motorized desks. These will have a hand crank that you have to turn. You don't need an arm like Arnold Schwarzenegger's, but you do have to put in some work.

Beyond surface size and material, the better standing desk company offers a variety of ways to customize your desk. These may include accessories such as cable management brackets – one that standing desks should come with – different controls for standing desks, different leg types, and more.

What about a stand converter?

If you're considering upgrading to a standing desk, chances are you've come across standing desk converters during your research. Like standing desks, standing desk converters allow you to work while standing or sitting, with plenty of room for a laptop, monitor, and any other accessories you may need. However, you don't have to replace your existing desk.

For those who work in an office, or even if you are a student in a dorm, a standing desk converter may be a better choice since most companies and universities don't want you to change furniture. Stand converters are also more portable, meaning you could technically fit one in the backseat of your car and take it to work or school.

While standing desk converters are usually less expensive than buying a electric standing desk outright, they can still be quite expensive, running between $100 and $400. Another downside is that if you find that you don't like working standing up, your standing desk converter becomes a giant paperweight. For this reason, you're better off spending that money on a nice standing desk, or even a budget one, before upgrading.
