A great automatic desk can help you work and play in comfort. It can also reduce neck and back pain from awkward positions. But the best electric standing desks are not cheap and you can easily spend more than $1,000 for one with a few bells and whistles.
Who makes the best electric standing desk?
A good automatic desk will provide a smooth adjustment mechanism with minimal noise and a durable, sturdy surface for writing and eating. It should have a wide range of height settings for sitting and standing, as well as a convenient control panel to adjust the setting and store preferred heights for quick adjustment. It should also have a strong load capacity that will be adequate for desktop items, including a monitor, two large external scrivania automatica and a keyboard. Exceeding the maximum weight limit can damage the motor or cause instability as it moves up and down, so it’s important to read the specs carefully.
If you are a gamer who likes to get up and move around, Secretlab’s Magnus Pro can handle your gaming setup while providing the stability you need for long sessions of playing. It has a powerful DC motor and a spacious tabletop that can hold up to 265 pounds, so you won’t have to worry about the desk falling or shaking.
This affordable option from Autonomous offers a great selection of frame colors and top options to suit any office aesthetic. It also has a simple, programmable control panel with four preset heights that stores and resets quickly. Other features include a dual-motor lift system that moves the desk faster and more quietly than most competitors, and a free set of add-on accessories, such as a foot hammock or full-size hammock, and a power accessory for desktop grommets to simplify cord organization. It also has a 10-year warranty, which is longer than the warranties for most of the other standing desks I tested.
