Best electric standing desks

In its favour

• The 62 to 125 cm range is the widest here, helping both shorter and very tall users.
• Dual motors lift at a stated 32 mm/s and below 45 dB, carrying up to 125 kg.
• Maidesite quotes a 10-year limited warranty, plus a USB port and a sit-stand reminder.

Good to know

• No desktop is included, so you need to source a top at least 2 cm thick.

In its favour

• The 72 to 120 cm range covers seated and standing heights for most adults.
