8 Top-Notch Standing Desks to Revolutionise Your Work-Life!

The ERGOMAKER Standing Desk takes our top spot as the best all-around standing desk on the market! It does everything a standing workstation should do PLUS it comes at a very affordable price for an electric standing desk too.

One of the best things about the ERGOMAKER is its versatility. The desk is electrically adjustable, allowing you to go from sitting to standing in a snap. The controls make this even easier with two preset options available to memorise your favourite height settings and transform your workstation in less than 20 seconds! To further add to the convenience of this minimalistic sit-stand desk, ERGOMAKER has even added a couple of nifty hanging hooks to store your work accessories.

Introducing the FEZIBO Adjustable Standing Desk, a much more luxe and spacious standing desk with the price to match. While it might be a very expensive sit-stand desk, it’s well worth the price for those looking for a more permanent standing desk space in their home office.

FEZIBO’s advanced motor technology guarantees a smooth and silent transition between sitting and standing positions. This is coupled with the easy electronic controls with three programmable preset settings to make the transition from sitting to standing that much quicker!

The FEZIBO Adjustable Standing Desk is perfect for anyone who wants to shell out for a standing desk that can serve as a dedicated full-time workstation or simply provide more function than just a place to stand and work. While it’s not a revolutionary product, the desk’s high price tag comes with a higher construction quality to match, and really, who can say no to more storage and better ergonomics?

Keep it simple, stupid! Why pay more than a grand for a full-power standing desk station if all you need is a budget home for your laptop? That’s exactly what the Artiss Mobile Laptop Desk is – a cheap standing desk alternative for people to use their laptop from anywhere while still maintaining proper posture.

With a total of 360 degrees of rotation, the Mobile Laptop Desk is adjustable from heights of 64 cm to 97 cm high. It also has a sturdy frame and a relatively wide desktop area, which can hold laptops up to 17 inches wide. So, while it’s not a fully-fledged standing desk for true work-from-homers, it offers enough versatility for casual laptop users to allow them to stand and work as well as set up a mobile workspace in front of the couch, on the deck, or anywhere else that looks comfy!

On the other hand, if you do want an award-winning desk, try the Omnidesk Ascent – the Alpha and the Omega of standing desk technology. This top-of-the-line standing desk has quickly become one of the most exceedingly popular desks on the market, and for good reason: it’s the perfect mix of comfort and style.

As a premier electrically adjusted standing desk, the Omnidesk Ascent is suitably silent and swift in its transitions, lifting up to 130kg of gear at a blitzing 6cm/second. This desk also comes with a sturdy, high-quality frame, a built-in cable management system, and a very snappy OLED digital control screen complete with an integrated app!

Honestly, this is a standing desk for pros and gadget enthusiasts. It’s not cheap, nor is it strictly “great value” compared to alternatives on the market. But for anyone who wants to invest in an extremely high-quality desk that will last for years – if not, decades – to come, then every Omni-human of the 21st century needs an Omnidesk to match.

Anyone who doesn’t want to spend six-million dollars on a desk built for the Bionic Man might like to instead consider this next budget alternative: a standing desk converter! It’s a fantastic option for those looking to spend less and switch to a standing workstation without investing in a whole new desk. The VIVO Adjustable Standing Desk Converter is easy to set up and fits well on your already existing workstation, so it’s also a fantastic solution for those who just want to sample the standing work life.

With an easy-to-use pneumatic spring lift system that allows for smooth and speedy height adjustments (from 11.5 cm to 50 cm), working while standing has never been so accessible! This little beauty is even a spacious 80cm wide, meaning you can accommodate a dual-monitor setup, a keyboard, and other desk accessories. In fact, it’s even got a two-tiered design with a removable keyboard tray to provide optimal customisability!

Ahh, Desky. It’s in the name, really – an all-Australian brand dedicated to desks! (And desk-related home office essentials.)

Desky makes good quality and fairly priced products, and their standing desks are no different! The Desky Ergo Edge Sit-Stand Desk doesn’t offer any groundbreaking innovations to set it apart from the other desks on this list, but what it does do, it does like a champ. A buttery smooth dual motor system for height adjusting, a stylish and minimalist design ethos, and it even has a focus on sustainable materials in the construction!

The one true difference the Desky Ergo Edge offers is that ergonomic edge. The edge of the desk has been cut away to create a concave to stand in when working. It sounds like a small detail, but as someone who is currently writing this at a standing desk with a similar cutaway, I can vouch that this thoughtful design addition really adds quite a bit to the experience.

So far, we haven’t talked about manual standing desks. Before the times of OLED digital controls and dual motors, we had boring old cranks. And the Matrix Manual Standing Desk is one of those crank-driven desks.

The manual adjustment means the Matrix has a cheaper point of entry than most electric standing desks. It’s crank-controlled, and the handle folds away neatly when it’s not being used. The desk also has a generous 150 cm wide desktop that can accommodate multiple monitors, a laptop, and other office essentials.

It isn’t a particularly extravagant standing desk. It looks pretty standard and feels pretty standard, but in the time before our desks were souped-up Autobots, they were just desks. The Matrix Manual Standing Desk provides excellent value for anyone looking to improve their workspace ergonomics for a manageable price point without any bells and whistles.

Crank it!

The SHW Electric Standing Desk is a top-of-the-line electric standing desk that offers a height range of 70 to 115 centimetres, making it another excellent choice for both sitting and standing while working.

Consider the SHW to be an alternative choice to the FEZIBO. It lacks the extra storage and ergonomics of a two-tiered design, but in return, you get a more minimalistic setup that still roughly mirrors the same price. Plus, the SHW includes cable management options as well as hanging hooks and a convenient under-desk basket for some minor storage solutions.

Otherwise, it’s another electric standing desk doing much of the same. It doesn’t separate itself from the pack; however, it’s a different approach to achieving the same means as the FEZIBO. Personally, I’d still take the FEZIBO with all its extra attention to detail and quality-of-life features, but if you’re looking for a single-tier and more minimal standing desk in the same price range, the SHW is a fine choice.
