The Lander Desk
Credit: Reviewed / Jackson Ruckar

The lift controller is the most intuitive of all the standing desks because you can easily pull it up and down to change the height of the desk.

总体上最好
IMOVR Lander Desk((30" by 59" with Solid Color Top)

The best part about the iMovR Lander Desk is how easy it is to assemble. The guide is incredibly simple to follow and no screws are required to build the actual desk—only clams and locks that snugly fit the legs into the base of the desk. It takes all of five minutes (with some help to flip the desk onto its legs) to set up and the time it saves is worth it.

The construction of the high-quality desk feels sturdy enough to last for years to come. It comes with a SteadyType keyboard tray, where you can adjust the angle of your keyboard and mouse. I find the slight tilt downward to be more comfortable, especially when combined with a monitor arm.

The lift controller is the most intuitive work surface of all the standing desks because you can easily pull it up and down to change the height and lifting capacity of the desk. You can set preferred heights with the press of a button and the desk will stop at those pre-programmed heights as you raise and lower it. However, I wish it’d go to your preset heights with a push of a button rather than lifting the control yourself. The Lander desk is also the only desk that allows you to set reminders to sit or stand. Plus, you can change the height and set reminders as well as get more information on proper ergonomics from the app.

The specific model we tested came with a monitor arm, a grommet with a plug, and two USB ports. These features cost extra, but we think they make the experience better and more ergonomic. The grommet is convenient for plugging in devices when in the standing position and the monitor arm makes it easier to work at eye level without craning your neck to stare at a monitor or laptop screen. Accessories aside, the Lander is still our top choice for its easy assembly and intuitiveness.

Pros

  • 东方组装

  • 直观的高度控制

  • 高质量的结构

Cons

  • Features cost extra

The VariDesk Pro Plus

Varidesk的高度范围很高,高度之间的过渡平稳,这意味着您无需将所有内容从桌子上拿走以调整它。

Best Converter, Best Value
Varidesk Proplus 36

As a manual standing desk converter, VariDesk Pro Plus is the best of the bunch. It comes out of the box completely set up, which means there are no additional pieces to screw in—unlike some of the other converters we tested. It transitions smoothly between the 11 height settings, so you won’t need to take everything off the desk to adjust it.

大的赢点Varidesk数量of space and it can fit two monitors, a laptop, and a notebook on top. There is space on the lower tier for a standard keyboard and mouse.

My main gripe is that the higher the desk goes, the further the keyboard stand comes out. So if you’re taller, you need to make sure you have enough space behind you. Additionally, the way the VariDesk is set up requires you to use a keyboard along with a laptop or monitor—but this feels more comfortable anyway.

它并不完美,但在较低的公关ice point, this is a good budget option for anyone who wants to try a standing workspace.

Pros

  • 负担得起

  • Comes completely assembled

  • 11个高度设置

Cons

  • Requires keyboard use

  • 缺乏站立空间

我们如何测试ed

测试仪

I’m Courtney Campbell, a writer here at Reviewed, and I spend most days sitting at my desk and sifting through the best products on the internet. As someone who frequently walks circles around the office to meet the hourly step goal on theirfitness tracker, standing desks were a natural way to add more movement in my life. More importantly, I wanted to know if this kind of desk would help me focus and move more—or just make me want to sit.

The Tests

作为一个普通的人,也不是那么手手,我自己搞砸了并把每张桌子放在一起(除了翻转桌子之外),看看一个人独自建造的人是多么复杂。我还注意到了需要多长时间以及指示的清晰度。

For the majority of testing, I used each desk for two to three days while using控制脚垫。在5英尺9英寸时,我将每张桌子调整为我的首选高度,并在每隔几个小时左右坐下和站立之间交换。我注意到过渡的平稳程度以及切换后我是否必须对工作站进行任何重大更改。总体而言,在使用站立桌时,我感到更加专注(并且不再饿)。

Aesthetics were also taken into consideration because if you have a standing desk that’s going to last a while, it better look good too. I also noted how sturdy the build was and how much room I had to work on the desk, which was especially important to consider with smaller standing desk converters.

您应该知道的关于站立桌的知识

Standing Desk vs. Standing Desk Converter

A standing desk is always positioned upright, and it is relatively simple to lower it to a sitting or standing position using the levers. This desk is a must-have for your home office to boost your productivity.

The converters that you can buy for standing desks just sit on top and are much cheaper than a full-sized standing desk. You'll have to adjust a converter because it won't completely flatten onto the desk.

电力与手动

When purchasing a standing desk, you can choose from a motorized standing desk or a manual hand-cranking model. Motorized standing desks can definitely be convenient, but do have their own set of issues. They are noisy, have a limited adjustment range, and need to be plugged into a wall socket. On the other hand, you can find the perfect height for you at the touch of a button.

如果您倾向于在办公桌上放很多东西并且需要较重的升力容量,那么简单的手动立式桌子可能是一个更好的选择,但要找到完美的高度设置将更加困难(耗时)。为了记住自己的最佳高度,您必须计算每次调整桌子时从坐着到站立所需的转弯。

Jack Dennerlein, a professor who studies ergonomics at Bouvé College of Health Sciences at Northeastern, recommends starting with the desk at elbow height and adjusting from there to find what’s most comfortable.

What Are The Health Benefits Of Standing Desks?

While research studies on the benefits of standing desks are still being done, it is thought that a standing desk has substantial health benefits and can boost your productivity.A National Institutes of Health study reportsthat 87% of participants felt a standing desk increased their energy levels.

Healthlinereports that standing desks can help be helpful to your health by moderating weight gain and lowering blood sugar levels. They also suggest it could minimize back pain and boost your mood.
Standing for an hour a day instead of sitting can also burn 1,000 more calories during the week.

其他NIH研究indicated that participants had a 32% change in the amount of back pain they experienced after using a standing desk. While these are some big claims, the data suggests the benefits of moving while using a standing desk, instead of remaining sedentary from sitting all day.

根据Jack Dennerlein研究人体工程学教授Bouve科尔ege of Health Sciences at Northeastern University, there’s no proper posture but rather what is comfortable for you. He recommends starting with the desk at elbow height and working from there to find what’s most comfortable.

他说:“这就是为什么我喜欢站立桌的原因,因为他们给人们这么多可调性。”

站立桌确实提供了更多的控制和可变性,但Dennerlein不建议整日站立。

“I have a phrase, ‘If sitting is the new smoking, then we have to remember that standing is the old smoking,” he said. “Professions where you stand all day have a higher risk of cardiovascular disease than people who have a job where you sit.”

Instead, he recommends switching from standing to sitting as often as is comfortable. The amount of time doesn’t matter as long as you’re moving throughout the day. During testing, I kept my arms at a 90-degree angle and stood normally, sometimes shifting my weight from leg to leg to get the most out of each desk.


Other Standing Desks and Converters We Tested

Fully Jarvis Bamboo Standing Desk

The Jarvis packs is a great standing desk at an affordable price. It comes with an easy-to-follow assembly guide and the desk itself feels sturdy and well-constructed, once built. We like its smooth transition between heights. Its controller makes it easy to pre-set four “favorite” heights. Plus, it comes with a gorgeous wooden finish that would look great in any space.

This motorized option can lift up to 350 lbs and the Jarvis is also quiet for a motorized standing desk, making it less likely to disturb anyone in your office or household while it’s being adjusted.

It has the lowest base price of all the full-sized desks we tested, but it offers fewer bells and whistles in terms of accessories, especially when compared to the Lander or Uplift desks. It aced most of our tests, making it a great choice for an affordable, basic option but lost some points for the lack of customizations.

Pros

  • Quiet

  • 坚固的结构

  • Appealing design

Cons

  • Less accessories available

Uplift V2 Standing Desk (Bamboo Curved)

Although the Uplift is a favorite amongst standing desk users, I had trouble assembling it. It took the longest of all the desks we tested to put together and it had the most pieces to screw in, which intimidated me initially during testing.

除了遇到组装麻烦之外,桌子还效果很好。它具有平稳的过渡,可以选择预设四个不同的高度,这对较短的人来说非常有用,同时仍然为高个子提供足够的高度。它还具有我们测试过的最华丽的桌子的最华丽饰面之一,还有一系列配件可供选择,including a hammock!隆起具有355磅的提升能力,框架稳定。

Pros

  • Smooth height transitions

  • Beautiful wood finish

  • Tons of accessories

Cons

  • 很难组装

ApexDesk Elite Series 60" Electric Height Adjustable Standing Desk

Apexdesk是可调节的,具有四个内存预设,可轻松使用。如果您是让您的桌子充满各种赔率和末端的人,它也很宽敞(60 x 29.5英寸)。当我们测试的某些电子模型在300范围内时,Apexdesk只能提起高达225磅。

With a 6-button LED programmable controller, It’s relatively easy to preset this desk to your desired heights, but the most irritating aspect of it is the lag when changing the height. It also isn’t the prettiest of desks and it doesn’t have many accessories to choose from either.

Assembling the ApexDesk, following its included instructions, was a little convoluted. I had to do some guesswork to completely assemble the full desk. For example, installing the wire management system and control lever, the instructions for which appear in the assembly guide after the desk is completed, required the desk to be flipped over.

Pros

  • Spacious design

  • Includes LED programmable controller

Cons

  • Hard to assemble

  • Unattractive design

  • Confusing instructions

FlexiSpot ClassicRiser Standing Desk Converter M2B

In terms of performance, the FlexiSpot is similar to the VariDesk Pro. The mechanism for raising and lowering the desk is easy to use, there's an additional level for a keyboard, and it only takes up a little bit of desk space. Like most standing desk converters, it requires a decent amount of space behind you as it comes forward when it rises.

我在这张桌子上拥有的唯一真正的nitpick是您必须自己安装键盘托盘。值得庆幸的是,安装托盘非常简单。它也比其他一些转换器重得多,因此很难自行拾取和移动。

Pros

  • 易于调整

  • 快速释放键盘托盘

  • Accommodates a variety of heights

Cons

  • Keyboard tray doesn't come installed

  • Difficult to move

Readydesk 2 Standing Desk Converter

Personally, I love the clean look of the Ready Desk. And, at 31-inches wide, it takes up minimal space on your desk, allowing you to keep the same knick-knacks and other items without moving too much around. The company claims it's made of “responsibly-forested Birch,” which would make it the most eco-friendly choice out of all of the standing desks we tested.

The Ready Desk comes with four wooden pieces that are easy to put together. Being able to assemble this desk without tools is a major plus, even if the simpler design doesn’t support as much weight as other models we tested. While the wooden look is gorgeous, it doesn’t feel as sturdy as other models we tested. To raise and lower the height, you have to move the wooden boards to different pegs, which is quite difficult to do and doesn’t allow for an exact height.

Pros

  • 易于组装

  • Attractive design

  • Spacious

Cons

  • Flimsy construction

  • 难以调整

Stand Steady X-Elite Pro Standing Desk Converter

One plus of the StandSteady is that it comes assembled and has a lower price point than other standing desks on our list, so you could get it up and running quickly.

这是唯一一张水平移动而不是垂直移动的站立式桌子,因此您不必像其他桌子一样靠近。一个缺点是,当桌子坐在坐姿时,我喜欢它太高了,并且在使用过程中,手动降低非常摇摆。您必须删除桌子上的大多数物品,以免它们飞行。停车位也缺少键盘托盘,因此没有足够的空间使用显示器和键盘。

Pros

  • Comes assembled

  • 负担得起

Cons

  • 缺少键盘托盘

  • Shaky when adjusting the height

Vivo DESK-V000B 36" Black Standing Desk Riser

The Vivo doesn’t come fully assembled, so you have to spend some time setting it up. It’s easy enough to raise and lower, and it moves forward as it rises like the other standing desk converters. Unfortunately, at its full adjustable height range of 16.5 inches, it’s not tall enough for me. Although it may work better for shorter people, this desk probably wouldn't be a good choice for those 5’ 8” or taller. This standing desk also has the lowest lifting capacity of all of the models we tested and is only able to hold 33 lbs.

Pros

  • None that we could find

Cons

  • Limited height range

  • Low lifting capacity

  • 很难组装
