Standing Desks

Standing Desks & Height Adjustable Desks

A standing desk lets you switch between sitting and standing through the day — better for your posture, your circulation and your focus. Here's how to choose the right one — and for the full detail, read our standing desk buying guide.

Electric or Manual?

Electric sit-stand desks raise and lower at the touch of a button, with many offering memory presets to save your favourite heights — the easiest option for daily switching and shared desks. Manual crank-handle desks adjust by hand and cost less, a budget-friendly way into sit-stand working. Most models cover a height range of roughly 65–125cm, suiting both seated and standing use.

Sizes, Shapes & Frames

Pick a straight desk for a standard setup, or a corner/L-shaped design to maximise a corner and fit dual monitors. White, black and wood-effect finishes suit any decor, and if you already have a tabletop you like, height adjustable desk frames let you fit your own.

Desk Risers & Converters

Not ready for a full desk? A desk riser (or converter) sits on top of your existing desk and lifts your monitor and keyboard to standing height — a lower-cost, no-installation way to start standing while you work.

Why Choose a Standing Desk?

Alternating between sitting and standing helps reduce back and neck strain, improves blood flow, and keeps you more alert and productive than sitting all day. For a fuller picture of setting up a healthy workstation — desk height, monitor position and seating — see our ergonomics buying guide.

FAQ

Are electric or manual standing desks better?

Electric desks are quicker and easier to adjust, ideal for frequent switching or shared use. Manual crank desks are more affordable and just as height-adjustable — better if budget is the priority.

What height range do standing desks offer?

Most adjust between roughly 65cm and 125cm, comfortable for both sitting and standing. Taller users should check the maximum height on the product page.

Should I buy a full standing desk or a desk riser?

Choose a full sit-stand desk for a permanent setup with more surface area. A desk riser is cheaper and sits on your existing desk — a good entry point or for tight spaces.

Do standing desks fit dual monitors?

Yes — most standard and corner standing desks offer enough surface for dual monitors and accessories. Check the desktop dimensions and weight capacity before ordering.
