hey guys it's taylor here with another video now standing desks are wonderful and that they
help you stay active even while you're working and while sitting for long periods of time can
be detrimental to your health standing up all day isn't necessarily great for your health or
comfort either so a standing desk offers the perfect solution to this problem as it allows
you to alternate between sitting and standing throughout the day that said it's important to
get a desk that doesn't wobble isn't too loud and is reliable to use over long periods of time so
with all that in mind i put together a list of three of the best standing desks on the market
that not only address these challenges but also provide great value for money and then depending
on your particular situation you can see which one might be the best option for you and as always you
can check pricing for any of these products in the description below and if i'm able to get any
discounts or coupon codes i'll include those for you as well so first up is our pick for the best
overall standing desk and that's going to be the uplift v2 this awesome standing desk comes with
a 10 year warranty that has a weight capacity of 355 pounds this is more than enough for most
setups and just shows how confident uplift is in the build quality of their desks of course the
one thing that sets this standing desk apart from others is its stability when you adjust the height
it doesn't wobble like most cheaper models do and even when fully extended it feels just as sturdy
as a traditional desk aside from the excellent build quality we also love that this standing
desk comes with smooth and quiet dual motors for a smooth and quiet operation this makes it perfect
for use in a shared office space or at home if you have kids or pets that could be bothered by
a loud desk there's also an anti-collision feature that prevents the desk from lowering too quickly
and hurting someone or damaging your computer or furniture and another thing that we liked about
the standing desk is the sheer amount of mounting points it offers for attaching accessories and
for wiring things up there's a convenient cable managed system that will keep your cords tidy and
organized there's even mounting points for your hammock underneath the desk so you can take a
little break when you need to how awesome is that in terms of height adjustment this standing desk
can go anywhere from 24 inches all the way up to 48 inches this makes it ideal for people between 5
feet 4 inches up to 7 feet in height which pretty much covers the majority of users so whether
you're short or tall you should be able to find a comfortable position the uplift v2 also has a nice
smooth height adjustment mechanism that's easy to use and comes with four programmable presets
that you can save your favorite heights to and quickly switch between them now if we have to be
picky the only downside is that when raising this desk to its highest setting the desk does start
to wobble a bit now most people won't be using it at its highest setting but if you're someone
who's taller then that's something you might want to consider but otherwise the uplift v2
would be the best standing desk for most people it just does everything really well so if build
quality great looks and value and reliability are your top priorities then this is the one to get
next up is our pick for the best manual standing desk and that's going to be the ergotron workfit d
this is great for those who prefer the flexibility of being able to use a standing desk wherever they
like and not having to rely on a power source to use it so during our testing we just loved
how this standing desk is super easy to set up and use and this is all thanks to ergotron's patented
mechanical lift system that can support a load of up to 165 pounds just squeeze the handles on
each side of the desk and it will smoothly raise or lower to your desired height and because it's
manual there's no cords or batteries to worry about in terms of height adjustment the manual
standing desk can be raised from 30 inches to 50 inches this makes it ideal for people between 5
and 7 feet in height which again covers the height range for the majority of people of course given
that it's a manual standing desk there are a few downsides that you need to consider
first of all it's not going to be as fast as an electric standing desk when it comes to adjusting
the height you also need to put up with the visible brake cables and lack of cable management
trays for hiding cords that said you can always purchase additional accessories to help with
cord management but otherwise if you prefer the flexibility and benefit of a manual standing desk
then the ergotron workfit d would be the best option to get and last but not least is our pick
for the best budget standing desk which is the flexispot ec1 for under 250 this standing desk
covers all the essentials and then some that you would normally only find on more expensive models
one good example is the quiet motor lift that can efficiently raise and lower the desk from
28 inches to a maximum of 48 inches this puts it on par with the other standing desk models on
this list in terms of height adjustment with that said it's only a single motor setup so it'll take
a bit longer to adjust the height if you want to raise or lower it by a significant amount
but still it gets the job done and can comfortably support up to 154 pounds of weight which is more
than enough for most users and for a budget model the build quality is pretty solid as well
the desk frame is made up of high quality steel which gives it a nice heft and stable feel the
desktop is also thicker than most other desks in the same price range which makes it more durable
and resistant to warping over time now another thing we do want to point out is that the warranty
on this standing desk is only 5 years and a slightly shorter 3 year warranty on the motor
but still that's not too bad considering the price point of course with the lower price tag
you can expect a few more drawbacks as well for one there are no customizable height presets
for this desk you only get an up and down button for adjusting the height and that's it
we also found that like the uplift v2 it's not so stable when adjusted to full height however again
it's safe to say that most people aren't going to use it at its maximum height setting other than
that there's not much else to complain about this budget standing desk basically flexuspot
ec1 is a no-frills affordable and reliable option that covers all the basics although it lacks many
of the bells and whistles found in our topic it gets the job done at a fraction of the cost
so if you're looking for the best budget standing desk this would be the one to get so that wraps up
