How to Choose the Best Sit-Stand Desk

Selecting the right sit-stand desk can make a significant difference to your comfort, wellbeing and long-term productivity. With many options available across size, height range and motor type, this short guide will help you choose the best standing desk for your workspace.

What height range should a sit-stand desk have?

A quality sit-stand desk should offer a broad height range to suit different users. Look for desks that adjust from approx. 22" to 48–50". This ensures ergonomic posture whether sitting or standing and makes the desk suitable for shared or hybrid workspaces.

Electric vs manual standing desks

Electric height-adjustable desks provide smooth, quick transitions and are ideal for daily use or multi-user offices. Manual desks are cost-effective options for light-use environments or home offices. Electric models typically support heavier weight loads and offer memory preset controls.

What desk size is best for your workspace?

Measure your available space before selecting a standing desk. A width of 120cm to 160cm suits most offices, giving room for monitors, accessories and storage. If using dual monitors, consider wider desks for better stability.

Ergonomic benefits of using a sit-stand desk

Sit-stand desks reduce prolonged sitting, helping improve posture, circulation and energy levels. Alternating between sitting and standing can relieve pressure on the neck, back and hips while supporting better concentration throughout the day.

Weight capacity and stability

For a smooth height transition, choose a desk with a strong lifting capacity (50–80kg depending on model) and anti-collision features. High-quality frames reduce wobble at full height, especially when supporting large monitors or heavy equipment.
