If you’re looking for convenience and ease of use, then an electric standing desk is probably for you.

The electric feature is available for full standing desks and also adjustable converters.

Here are my favorite electric standing desks based on ergonomics, quality, price, and customer satisfaction.

Best Electric Full Standing Desk

Varidesk Pro Desk Full Electric

The Varidesk Pro Desk Electric offers a lot in terms of smart design, and having enough space (60 inches in width) for multiple monitors and some gadgets. You can choose between 5 different colors for the working platform, we really liked the reclaimed wood.

The manufacturers added a stability crossbar, especially useful if you’ll be using the higher settings.

The desk is height adjustable and you can even program 3 height settings that definitely save you time and hassle, especially since the desk is operated with the press of a button.

WHAT WE DON’T LIKE

Second Favorite Electric Desk

Flexispot Bamboo Electric Standing Desk

This stylish standing desk features a sleek design that comes in multiple colors to choose from. It doesn’t have the crossbar which means it won’t be as stable as the Varidesk, but it comes at a much lower price range.

The Airlift platform can be adjusted for height, and the control display comes with a cool blue led light. You get 4 memory buttons for your height preference. The Airlift changes height with the speed of 1.5 inches per second.

WHAT WE LIKE

Important features of an electric standing desk

Stability

Most of the brands on the market boast the stability of their desk. Realistically only the Varidesk Pro Desk 60 Full Electric didn’t have any complaints about stability.

The reason for that is the stability crossbar it features. So when buying a desk that will need to take increased weight, or strong typing consider a model with a stability cross bar.

Electronics

Another very important feature when choosing your electric desk is good quality electronics to keep it working properly. Some desks might get ‘stuck’ due to faulty electronics, and after that you might need to return your product.

Sometimes this issue can be solved by holding the down button or resetting the desk by unplugging it. We didn’t find any electronic issues with the products on our list.

Weight capacity

This is an important feature that says a lot about the sturdiness of the product. Most manufacturers seem to be competing on the amount of weight their desk can hold.

In reality most people won’t need a desk that holds above 200 lbs, but the trick is the smoothness of the height adjustment. For example the VIVO Black Electric Height Adjustable Stand Up Desk holds up to 176 lbs, but if you go overboard it will lose some of its stability.

Also you need to consider the motor life span. Placing heavy components on a desk that’s not well designed will strain the motor giving the product a shorter life-span.

Adjustment range

This feature often gets overlooked and people end up with incorrect ergonomic position. In a perfect case you want a height that will allow your elbows to rest comfortably and the top of the monitor should be the same level with your eyes.

Also your hands should be elbow height or lower. Here’s a quick reference list for your height adjustment needs if you’re getting a single platform standing desk:

People at 5’6’’ need a desk height of 40’’- 40.5’’

People at 6’0’’ need a desk height of 43.5’’ – 44’’

People at 6’6’’ need a desk height of 48’’

So when you decide to get an electric standing desk, get one with a higher height range, and that will ensure it is fully adjustable for you.

Gears & Glides

This is the feature that most manufacturers don’t mention and don’t want you to think about. These components are usually hidden in the legs of the desk and tell the real story of the quality of the product.

This is the main difference between high-end products like Varidesk and cheap Chinese brands. In the long run this feature is extremely important. You don’t want cheap plastic parts that break easily and ruin your overall experience.

This is especially true if you decide to invest in a good quality product.

We hope we answered all of your burning questions regarding electric standing desk. Hopefully after reading our extensive list of Best Electric Standing Desks In 2019 you have a much clearer idea for your perfect workstation.
