Best Standing Desks for 2022

The Jarvis standing desk frame can carry up to 350 lbs. This figure includes the weight of the ¾ inch thick Designer Ply top. Its height adjustment range depends on its configuration. Your options are:

• 2-stage frame: 29.8"–49"
• 3-stage frame: 25.3"–50.8"
• 3-stage low frame: 22.7"–43"

It’s a desk that moves up and down at a 1.3"/second speed. During operation, it only produces up to 50 dB of noise.

If you don’t have a flat floor, you can adjust Jarvis’ foot by up to 0.25” to keep it stable.

The frame of this standing workstation can be broad or narrow. You’ll automatically get one that suits the dimensions of your desktop. Either way, you can download an assembly guide.

Now to the Designer Ply. Its cross-laminated core is made of BB-grade Baltic Birch, with 30% recycled materials. It boasts a UL GREENGUARD Gold certification.

The Designer Ply is low-maintenance and scratch-resistant. The lacquer finish, covering its top and exposed-ply edge, has received a stamp of approval by Ecolab and ASTM.

When it comes to specifications, the Designer Ply comes with four standard sizes:

• 30" x 24" (width x depth/length)
• 42" x 27"
• 48" x 30"
• 60" x 30"
  

To enhance its design, you can outfit this large standing desk with ergonomic accessories and an active chair.

What’s more, you can upgrade its built-in grommet(s) to the one(s) that supply power to three devices. Each power grommet has an AC plug, a USB-A port, and a USB-C 18-watt port.

The same can be done with this model’s standard up/down toggle handset. You can switch to the OLED touch programmable kind, which has a height indicator screen.

The starting price of Jarvis Designer Ply is $699.

You may place an order only in the US or Canada. Depending on your country, it’s possible to pay with PayPal, American Express, Mastercard, and Discover. Apple Pay and Google Pay are accepted as well.

This product comes with no shipping fee. If you want to return your order, you may do so within 30 days. If you receive your standing office desk within the continental US, you’re eligible for a full refund.

Jarvis Designer Ply has two warranties. The first covers its frame elements, mechanical parts, motors, and electrical components for 15 years. While the second protects desktop surfaces for five years.

FlexiSpot Pro Plus E7 excels in adaptability. This adjustable office desk will fit right in, no matter the size of your workspace.

Let’s start with the materials. 

The E7’s frame is solid carbon steel, while the tabletop can be chipboard, bamboo, or fiberboard. There are many options to choose from, and they’re all slick and modern.

Size-wise, the desktop ranges 48’’-80’’ in width and 24’’-31’’ in height. The frame is a three-stage model, and it’s remarkably flexible. The minimum height is 22.8’’, while the maximum is 48.4’’. That means it can fit users who are 4’2’’-6’4’’ tall.

What’s more, you can set it to be between 43.4’’-74.8’’ in width. But keep in mind that the E7 is pretty heavy.

It’s also quite a sturdy standing desk. It can hold up to 355lbs. You can stack as many monitors and printers as you want — this table can take it. It has passed 20k motion tests, and it’s BIFMA-certified.

In addition to that, it moves smoothly and precisely thanks to the premium dual electric motors. They’re noiseless, too. 

But, what about accessories?

The E7 is accompanied by an LCD keypad. The default one lets you save up to four height presets and configure sit-stand reminders. It comes with a nifty anti-collision feature, as well.

The premium keypad has extra features, such as a USB port and a child-lock button. Additionally, there’s an embedded cable tray. But it’s small and rather unpractical.

If you want a standing desk with drawers, you’ll have to specifically order them. The same goes for under-desk storage options, casters, keyboard trays, etc. So overall, this model is very minimalist when it comes to extras.

On the brighter side, it comes with two frame styles that you can easily switch between. So, if you need extra under-desk space, the C-shaped legs will come in handy. Or, if you prioritize a centered desk, you can go for the T-shaped ones.

Now.

The cost.

The general pricing range is between $579.99-$909.99. It will depend on the size, material, and accessories. Still, it’s an affordable standing desk, especially considering the exceptional build quality.

It also comes with a 30-day risk-free policy and a 15-year warranty. Shipping is free for all states except Hawaii and Alaska.

Like other Ergotron products, the WorkFit-D sit-stand desk is non-powered.

It can move from its top’s minimum height of 30.6" to 50.6" with the lift of a lever. Its height adjustment speed leaves the top electric standing desks in the dust.

Moreover, this model is one of the few that uses the patented Constant Force™ motion technology. With this innovation, you just need to apply minimal effort to adjust it.

As a stationary workstation, it can carry a maximum weight of 165 lbs. However, Ergotron recommends a maximum dynamic load of 65 lbs. only. 

Since it doesn’t rely on electricity, its operation is 100% eco-friendly. But you have to tweak its lift tension whenever the weight of the load changes for smooth adjustment.

Work-Fit D’s pre-drilled desktop comes in birch and walnut and is made of MDF with melamine-laminate surfaces. It’s 87" thick, 47.6" wide, and 23.5" deep. 

This manual standing desk is as tough as nails because of its steel base. It allows you to keep it steady on an uneven floor using four leveling glides.

On top of its adherence to ANSI/BIFMA X5.5-2008 standards, this model meets all international environmental regulations. Complying with such green policies means that Ergotron has taken a sustainable approach to design, manufacture, and packaging.

Without any frills, this model will set you back $997.

If you want the whole ensemble, you can choose from 22 compatible accessories, including Ergotron’s LCD and laptop display mounts. Either way, your purchase will come with a five-year warranty.

For payment, Ergotron accepts Paypal and credit cards that bear the logo of Visa, Mastercard, American Express, or Discover. 

Also, the company provides a 30-day return policy. You have to pay for return shipping plus a possible restocking fee. Ergotron will deduct these fees from your refund.

FlexiSpot’s standard standing desk has inverted 2-stage legs with a height range of 29”–48.6”, excluding the desktop. It can raise the top at a speed of 1”/second with <50 dB while in motion. Unlike many of the best standing desks on this list, this one only has a single motor. 

This piece of furniture can only handle up to 154 lbs., making it unsuitable for heavy setups. What it lacks in loading capacity, it makes up for in horizontal adjustment. Its width can expand or contract between 33.5”–50.8”.

What separates this FlexiSpot product from the rest is the rich variety of its desktop surfaces. You can choose from five materials. The default is chipboard, but you can upgrade it to any of the following:

• MDF
• Bamboo
• Solid Wood (Black Nut/Cherry Wood)
• Rubberwood (Solid Wood texture)
  

All of them are available in 10 colors. But your choice of desktop material determines its shape (rectangular or curved) and thickness (0.7”–1.3”). Each option comes in different sizes too. Here are the desktop dimensions you may find:

• 48” x 24”
• 48” x 30”
• 55” x 28”
• 60” x 24”
• 60” x 30”
  

This modern standing desk has two models: EC1 and EN1. They’re the same, except for the keypad.

EC1 has the basic kind, which is simply up and down buttons. EN1’s standard keypad also has memory presets, an LED height display, and a sit-stand reminder. It lets you save up to three height adjustments and has a reminder setting from 0–99 minutes.

Both of them have FCC and UL certifications. Plus, you can accessorize them with a monitor arm, clamp power strips with USB, and more. Adding casters can turn either of them into a standing desk on wheels.

An ergonomic chair isn’t the only companion for this adjustable standing desk with add-on drawers and file cabinets. To be more physically active without getting up, you can install an under desk bike and/or treadmill from FlexiSpot.

The original price of this model is $309.99. But at the time of this writing, it’s available for just $219.99. If you’re a student, you’re entitled to a 10% discount, too. 

In terms of payment, you may use any of the four major credit card companies or PayPal. 

The company’s limited, non-transferable warranties cover material and manufacturing flaws. The protection for the frame, motor, and other mechanisms is good for five years. The one for the controller, switch, and electronics lasts for two years.

FlexiSpot delivers to 10 countries (including the US) across North America, Europe, and Asia. If you order anywhere in the lower 48 states, you can enjoy free shipping.

The company has a 30-day free return policy as well.

The V2 desk (UPL960) has a 48-point accessory mounting system. Because of this patent-pending design, all the moving parts are connected to the frame.

You can choose between two standing desk frame styles: C-frame and T-frame. The former provides plenty of legroom for accessories like CPU holders and keypad trays.

This model uses inverted leg orientation and steel reinforcements for stability. That’s why it’s so stable without any lower crossbar. If your floor happens to be uneven, you can adjust it by 0.38 of an inch using its foot leveling studs.

This motorized standing desk tucks its braces underneath the desktop to free up more space and achieve a clean look. Not only that, its desktop is 30” deep.

As a testament to its flexibility, its height and width ranges are 25.3–50.9” and 41.3–72.2”, respectively. These dimensions already take the 1-inch thick desktop into account.

Using its soft start/stop actuator motors, it can raise or lower its desktop by 1.6"/second. All the while, it’s no louder than 50 dB when operating.

With a lifting capacity of up to 355 lbs., it’s more than capable of handling the heaviest setups.

Furthermore, UPLIFT uses three-stage standing desk legs. They have a 33% higher height range and a 33% faster travel speed than 2-stage ones. Its anti-collision sensor will stop it after detecting light resistance to prevent any damage or injury while moving.

With the desk configurator, you can explore 200+ design options and a bevy of add-on accessories. All in all, there are 200,000+ configuration possibilities at your disposal.

To unlock the V2 desk’s advanced features like desk height calibration and child safety lock, you can upgrade its keypad. But no matter how powerful it gets, it consumes less than $1 of electricity a year.

The price of this ergonomic standing desk starts at $599.

As an individual buyer, you can seek financing via PayPal Credit. If you pay it off in six months, you won’t have to pay any interest.

Regardless of the payment option, your purchase comes with free returns and free shipping. If you order by 3 PM CST, you can receive your package the same day.

The V2 desk has a 15-year warranty, covering any defects and malfunctions. For an extra $179, you can extend the warranty period to 25 years.

ApexDesk’s Elite Series is a collection of five motorized height-adjustable desks.

The main thing that separates one from another is the desktop. Three models are 60" wide and 27" deep. The others have a width of 71" and a depth of 33".

One of the smaller models has a top made of natural bamboo. The rest have laminated MDF, which has customizable color. The wider and deeper pieces are available in 8 options, while their narrower and shallower counterparts come in 6.

All of them are compatible with ApexDesk’s full-size cable management tray, which measures 35.5” x 5.5”. Usually sold separately for $29.99, it’s now included in the 71” model at no extra cost.

Moreover, the Elite Series adjustable standing desks differ in prices, ranging from $599.99 to $719.99.

All major credit cards or digital wallets (including Venmo) are accepted.

The differences end here.

All Elite Series variants have a digital controller capable of storing four programmable presets. Plus, they have a dual-motor system, lifting up to 235 lbs. at 1.5”/second within a height range of 29”–49”.

Every ApexDesk electric standing desk has a two-year warranty, offering protection against material or workmanship defects. It covers the cost of replacement parts or items and shipping.

ApexDesk exclusively serves buyers in the States, providing free delivery via FedEx within the continental US.

If you want to send your order back, you only have 30 days to return it.

However, you’ll have to pay the return shipping fee and a 15% restocking fee. Refusing a shipment incurs a 30% cancellation fee too. All applicable fees are deductible from your refund.

Dubbed as a one/two-tier switching desk, FlexiSpot’s EF1 model is an extraordinary parent-child product.

Its dual-zone design means you can raise just one-half of the top. If you work from home and have a kid, you’ll be able to share your workstation with them.

In single-tier mode, this adjustable electric standing desk is just a spacious drawing table.

In two-tier mode, you can raise your side of the table while the other stays at a lower height.

Its inverted 2-stage legs can extend within the height range of 28.7”–48.4”. But you set the gap between the two zones at 3", 4", or 5" to achieve ergonomic monitor placement.

The EF1 desk’s lifting capacity is quite limited, though. The total weight it can handle is 132 lbs. with the rear only capable of holding 33 lbs.

To complement this cutting-edge furniture’s robust construction, FlexiSpot equipped it with adjustable desk feet. Their leveling glides are handy stabilizers.

Using its Loctek Linear Motion actuator, it can transition between single- and two-tier modes at a speed of 1"/second. It’ll make sound, but not more than 50 dB.

This model’s lite standard keypad does more than move one zone up or down. This ergonomic standing desk memory is enough to store four height presets.

In addition, it flaunts an energy-efficient LED display that automatically goes to sleep to minimize your electricity usage.

Its desktop is sensitive to downward pressure. So, you can adjust its height by 1.5" and lock the position without using the control panel.

The only customizable details of this FlexiSpot product are the frame color and the desktop size. In other words, its rectangular, 0.7"-thick chipboard top just has one look.

Nevertheless, it’s compatible with FlexiSpot’s huge selection of accessories.

Without add-ons, this product originally retails for $329.99. But you may be able to take it home at a discounted price of $299.99. You’re entitled to 10% off your total order if you're a student.

Similar to other FlexiSpot electric height-adjustable desk models, this one comes with 5- and 2-year warranties.

To place an order, you can use your credit card or PayPal. 

Being a resident of the States isn’t required to make a purchase or benefit from the company’s 30-day free return guarantee.

It has an oversized grommet (measuring 6” x 3”) and a cable management tray for hiding messy wires.

In terms of height adjustability, this innovative piece of gaming furniture can go as high as 49.5”. It lifts up to 355 lbs. to any of 250 different positions at 1.5"/second.

With its digital LED display, you can easily switch between three programmable presets.

What makes this electric standing desk perfect for multiple users is its programmability. With the touch of a button, it moves to your desired height.

• 60” x 30”

Engineered to have chamfered edges, this piece’s top has a laminate finish. Its exterior is available in five colors. Three of which are wood grains, and the other two are black and white.
