You know you need to stand more at work. Now you can put a standing desk in your office without spending a fortune.
The StandUp Desk is a manually height-adjustable standing desk that offers tremendous value. For $299, plus about $44 shipping, you get a sturdy, stable, attractive, and ergonomically sound standing desk.
The StandUp Desk rolls around on four casters, making it ideal for situations in which you might need to move your desk. The two front casters securely lock to prevent the desk from moving around once you have it in place.
It adjusts from a conventional sitting height of 29 1/2″ to as high as 45 1/4″, tall enough for people up to about 6’2″. The hand crank moves smoothly and feels solid as you use it. In a nice design touch, you can move the hand crank to either side of the desk by simply pulling it out and repositioning it.
You have to assemble your StandUp Desk when it arrives, but the assembly instructions are clear and the whole process takes less than an hour.
Most standing desks in this price range are made with lightweight particle board and other cheap materials. Not the StandUp Desk: the desktop is made of sturdy medium-density fiberboard (MDF) with a nice laminate finish. The frame is steel with a powder coat finish. The desk can hold up to 154 pounds.
The StandUp Desk recently topped the Well9to5 list of affordable standing desks.
