Buying a new standing desk for your office.
If you need to buy a new standing desk, maybe because you work at home, and don’t have an existing working desk you’ll probably want to buy a simple stand alone standing desk. This desk is similar to a general computer desk, with two platforms for your monitor on the top platform, and keyboard or mouse on the base platform. Most standing desks also use wheels on the legs under the desk making it easy to move it around. You can move it to your living room, kitchen, or bedroom. However, you must carefully with the cable installation when you move it around.
The main disadvantage of this simple standing desk is, you cannot adjust the base level easily as the kangaroo style. Once the height is set up, it will be static, and cannot be adjusted. So it can only be used by one person that suit the height of the desk. But at only $234, it’s a good entry level way to get started with standing desks
Electronic standing desks.
There is also a top option for professionals who also want to use the standing desk. There are several desks that are mechanized with an electronic button for raising or lowering the level of the standing dek to your desired height. Of course, electric standing desks are more expensive and they can cost more than $1000. However, they are useful for a professional worker that uses their stand up desk a lot. So let’s see what the advantages are of these expensive electronically controlled standing desks.
Basic:
This desk will have a button that will help you easily adjust the level to your desired height, and also you can set the angle of the main platform. So it will make using it more comfortable
Better:
Further up the price range desks get more sleek and modern, and have lots of options. For a slightly higher outlay you’ll be able to adjust the height, adjust the slope, or you can use it as a standard drawing desk ( since most more expensive standing desks have a larger surface ). You’ll also have some options to add some drawers and cabinets for your computer base unit too at this price point.
Most expensive:
Well, if you have a lot more money to spend on a high end standing desk, you can expect a more aesthetic and Eco friendly model, such as Terra by NextDesks. It has pretty much all the options of the previous standing desks we mentioned, but it’s just more beautiful with bamboo for the desktop, and a frame made from aluminum. So it will cost you more, but you will get a much more beautiful stand up desk for the price.
