Choosing a standing desk can be intimidating.
Whether you’re looking for a giant all-in-one option that can hold your desktop PC and multiple gaming monitors or something more compact that can fit in a cramped space. With any luck, this guide to buying a standing desk will help you consider a few things.
What exactly do you need?
A standing desk converter, or an adjustable standing desk? Standing desk converters are devices that rest on top of your desk and raise up and down so you can stand and work. Whereas, an adjustable standing desk is a full-size desk frame that whole work surface moves up and down.
If you’re into standing most of the time then a standing desk converter is a great choice. It has a deeper work surface which provides more comfortable reading distance and its own keyboard tray as well as tablet stand.
If you want to switch from sitting to standing more often, you may want to get an adjustable standing desk. A sit/stand reminder system and programmable presets where you can save your favorite seated or standing heights.
Consider your height.

Cost
