We also evaluate each desk based on aesthetics as after all, your new desk should look nice in your home office. For electric standing desks, we listened to see how loud their motors are, took note of how smoothly they go up and down and see whether or not they can be raised and lowered with a full cup of coffee without spilling a drop.
From here, we then went through the process of assembling them, noting how long it took to put each one together, how easy the instructions were to follow and if any extra tools were required for assembly.Īfter each desk is assembled, we then test their stability by raising them to their maximum height and rocking them back and forth. To determine which standing desks are the best, we called in the top models as well as a few budget-friendly options.

This should be more than enough for most people’s needs but if you want to use a bulky gaming PC and multiple monitors, you’ll be better off with one of the other standing desks on this list like the Uplift V2 or the Fully Jarvis Bamboo. However, the design of the Realspace smart standing desk limits the amount of weight it can hold to 88 pounds. The built-in drawers give you more than enough space to store a laptop and other accessories. The Realspace smart standing desk comes pre-assembled for the most part and you just need to install the legs and its keypad which took about half an hour. Not only is it a smart standing desk you can control with an app or your voice using Google Assistant or Alexa but it also has fairly large drawers for storage and three USB ports on the side for charging your devices.
The Realspace Smart Electric Height-Adjustable Desk sets itself apart from the other standing desks on this list in a few ways.
