Our favorite standing desk is the Jarvis desk in bamboo because it is beautifully designed and features a comfortable beveled edge and an adjustable height that maxes out at 51 inches.
But if the Jarvis desk isn’t the right fit, we also chose a number of other great options and several add-ons if you prefer keeping your old desk. Keep scrolling to see our other picks.
The Jarvis Desk is a great choice for a standing desk, but the bamboo model is exceptionally well made. Its attractive design includes a subtle beveled edge that makes the desk comfortable on the arms and wrists, while the bamboo top renders it both simple and elegant in any office environment. You can adjust the height anywhere between 25.5 and 51 inches, and given the assortment of available desk sizes, you can rest assured you’ll find a desk with plenty of space for your monitors, laptops, and other gadgets.
ApexDesk offers a large 60-inch model at a reasonable price, a great choice if you need a lot of room but have a limited budget. This desk is powerful, too: It comes with dual motors for raising and lowering the surface and can handle up to 225 pounds, suitable for more complex workstations that involve a lot of equipment. You can position the desk anywhere between 29 and 48 inches, giving you plenty of options to customize the height. People can save up to four different heights, ideal if others will be using the desk in a variety of positions. While the legs are steel, the surface is made of MDF (medium density fiber) materials, with a laminate layer on top to help prevent scratching—not exactly high-end, but one of the features that keep this desk affordable.
In a nutshell, the durable Varidesk Pro Plus 36 is an adjustable monitor stand and tray. The intuitive design allows you to lock the stand to your preferred height using a pair of spring-assisted, scissor-style arms, giving you 17½ inches of added height. Moreover, it’s wide enough for dual monitors and portable enough to move from desk to desk.
