Which one is best for   you?

If you haven’t decided yet, read on, we’ll help you narrow down   your options.

Art

Manual – A manual standing desk is a   good option for those who don’t want to spend a lot of money on a   height-adjustable workstation.  It is   not driven by a motor, but by a crank.    It usually offers customizable options for the framework and table   material.

Electric – An electric   height-adjustable desk is more expensive than a manual standing desk, but it   is characterized by its beauty and functionality.  A push of a button lifts the table and   brings it down if necessary.  Are you a   health lawyer?  When you combine an   electric standing desk with a treadmill, you get the ultimate   workspace!

Noise level

Ergonomic products for commercial and private use ensure that your   working day is as pleasant and comfortable as possible.  If you share your office with other people   and use a loud standing desk, it won’t be long before your employees start   complaining about the noise your desk’s lever or motor is making.  So you have to check the sound level of the   standing desk you have chosen for yourself and your employees.  A range in the range of 65 dB or less is   ideal.

warranty

As with anything you buy online, your standing desk should offer   the best guarantee, especially if it has a lot of motorized parts in it.  Compare desk warranties and policies and   choose the one that gives you full coverage.    With this in mind, you need comprehensive terms for the frame,   surface, control panel, and motors of the desk.

Desk surface

Regardless of what you mount on your desk, it should be sturdy and   stable.  With a sturdy desk, you can   work on any task without worrying about it collapsing or breaking.  The most common options for desktop   materials are solid bamboo, reclaimed wood, solid wood, metal, laminate, and   veneer.  The more durable a desktop   material, the more expensive it becomes.

Your size and body   shape

Not all standing desks are a great fit for your shape and   size.  Most of the standing desks we   have featured are aimed at adults of average height and weight.  If you are taller or shorter than average,   or taller than 185 cm or less than 165 cm, you need a sit-stand desk that   allows you to position your arms at the correct angle when using the keyboard.

So opt for an electric desk that expands to a comfortable   height.  Measure the distance between   your toes and your stomach as this is the best height for your standing   desk.

Anti-Fatigue Mat

While not mandatory, an anti-fatigue mat will keep you working on   your feet without causing fatigue.    It’s not included in a standing desk package, but you can find plenty   of options on Amazon for just a few dollars.    A special mat has contours that allow the user to move from different   positions in the most natural way.
