In the earlier articles in this series, we covered what standing desks are and what the different types do. This one has specific product recommendations sorted by what you're willing to spend.
Your budget decides most of it. Here's what to look at in three price ranges:
- Budget: The VIVO Height Adjustable Standing Desk is the cheapest option that still works. You'll turn a manual crank to change the height. That's slower than a motor, but it costs a lot less.
- Mid-range: The FlexiSpot M2B Standing Desk costs more than the VIVO, but you get an electric motor. Height adjustment is quiet and you don't have to crank anything. For most people, this is the range that makes sense.
- Premium: The Stir Kinetic Desk is expensive. It has a sensor that learns your preferred heights and adjusts automatically based on when you usually stand. Whether that's worth the price depends on how much you value not pressing a button.
A standing desk won't fix everything, but switching between sitting and standing a few times a day does help. The health benefits are real. The productivity benefits are harder to measure, but your back will probably thank you either way.
