$3,998 Beflo Tenon Premium: While this hardwood smart table is expensive (and expensive!), it is both sturdy and well designed. The components are simple, and once the desk is up and running, I found all the features (touch screen controls, built-in power strip, audio pass and LED lighting) to work in a convenient location. Touch screen controls are intuitive (like iOS), and features such as SIT/Stand timers and phone connections offer additional features. Even when moving, the table supports 200 pounds of stuff, and if overheated, the height adjustment motor will be temporarily disabled instead of risking damage to the table. The table looks great, too, and there are many first-party accessories that allow you to customize the table to your specific needs. My biggest problem with this table is the noise. Although it is by no means loud, it certainly sounds higher than the “whispering” descriptor Beflo uses in its marketing. Beyond that, using the built-in touch screen creates a color adjustment of lighting for a specific color, and the audio cable is too short to reach a desktop computer on the floor, even at the lowest height. However, hosting is still a great option, even if it is an expensive option. –Henry Robins

Herman Miller Herman Miller’s spitting was great at sitting on the table. Like a branch four-legged table, it looks like a regular table with four legs, giving it a luxurious look. Those motors on the legs went up smoothly, it was easy to lift the table and lower my preferences and upgraded on the button on the right. The motor does have a high buzz and it’s very loud and my husband will use it without hesitation when he calls in the same room, but if my son has a good sleep, my loud voice will not bother me. Strangely, it doesn’t have a memory preset, but I find it easy to adjust the table to my favorite sitting and standing heights. You can add a cable tray under the table to organize the ropes, but for an extra cost. The only other item in the table is a slim center drawer that is perfect for pens and notebooks. It comes in three tabletop sizes and three finishes: laminated white, veneer walnut and veneer grey. You can also customize the basic colors, seven different colors from classic black and white to soft blue and olive green. While it looks and works well, it’s disappointing that such a high-priced table has no presets and uses veneers instead of real wood. – Nena Farrell

The Flexispot E7 Pro is $400+: Stands can get expensive, but Flexispot usually offers similar features for a lower price. At first glance, the E7 Pro looks a lot like the Herman Miller Jarvis, but look closely and you’ll see that the entry-level option has a shallow 23-inch desktop, the control unit feels a bit cheap, and makes a high complaint in operation. I also had some issues that fit the larger power adapter in cable finishing and could rock when fully expanded. But even with full configuration, the E7 Pro is cheaper than many competitors. Next to it is a small flaw, which is a perfect stand-up table. –Simon Hill

Charcoal stand for $1,199: This table is designed to remind you when to get off work, so you have a mental focus on the daytime through the stacking. It uses your health and sleep data in the app, as well as lighting and haptic feedback, tracking and telling you when to take a break. At first, this feature seems interesting, but it doesn’t work much better than the timer on your phone, reminding you to get up and go. The Swedish-made table frames have excellent construction quality, smooth, quiet operation almost landing on the floor, perfect for those of us who like to sit on the ground and sometimes work. It has a dual motor with a three-stage column and a piezoelectric sensor so it won’t crush the kids. I like the rounded edges on the top of the white rectangle, which never accidentally scratches my hips when I walk by the table, and the white plastic finish is easy to clean. I’m not sure it’s priced almost like a standing table, and it’s worth it – don’t buy it for the company’s “supercharge” proposition – but you won’t be disappointed with the desktop. –Parker Hall

Ergonofis Sway stand table for $1,495: This is another delightful solid table from Canadian brand Ergonofis. Like Grovemade, I left a lot of packaging after I unboxed it, so much so overwhelmed. There are also many parts, and the assembly is simply weird. (I had to step on part of the foot, which meant I had to wear shoes to finish the assembly.) It was a gorgeous table, but I also found the company’s control panel to operate confusingly, and the table wasn’t always responsive when I touched the panel or moved upwards.

Inbox zero 47-inch adjustable radio station for $180: All the features of this table cost only $200. There are rolling casters so you can not only move the table up and down, but also shake it all. It has electrical controls with presets, but also allows you to fine-tune the height – my actual use case is for standing tables because I don’t like working on standing, but I do like to adjust the height to fit my pose changes, and there is zoom in again when I type. Splitting the top with easier and cheaper transportation does not damage performance, but is less visually pleasing, while the role of a small motor is difficult (tshunk, tschunk, tshunk) Lift the desktop. After three months of testing, I recommend someone to use a budget stand-up table with casters, but if you can spend more money, you may be happy with some other stuff. –Martin Cizmar

Standing table accessories

The branch office has a power supply of $89: This simple and elegant fixture connects to your desktop and adds three AC outlets, a USB-C and a USB-A, so you don’t have much wire to head to the ground.

Monster Workshop Power Strip is priced at $50: This heavy-duty electric bar and surge protector from the monster are built to protect the expensive power tools for the crew, meaning it can meet the needs of a cute yellow Mac. The reason to buy it for your stand setup is the integrated mounting handle that can be hung on your desk with a C-plate clip, so that your connection does not use valuable space and keep your connection away from dirty floors. –Martin Cizmar

Lumecube Edgelight 2.0 priced at $150: Why take up valuable table space when you can clip the lights to your desk? These task lights from LumeCube are perfect for lighting your desktop or even your face during late-night zoom calls. You can adjust the color temperature and brightness.

Benq Screenbar Light, priced at $139: Also, you can place these screen bar lights on your computer monitor, which will light up your desktop without clamping. The Screenbar Pro also has a motion sensor, so the lights turn off when you leave the table and light up when you come back. You can adjust the brightness and color temperature and automatically set it to adjust these controls according to the ambient lighting of the room.

Secriplab Premium Football Store, priced at $89: I’ve been using this pedal for a few years and it’s great. The luxurious memory foam is cushy and is a great breathing opportunity for my feet and it’s easy to clean with a vacuum and damp cloth. Despite years of use, it did not show much wear.

Single monitor adjustable spring table mount loaded at $83: Over the years, I have had several workflow booms that can reliably do the job. You can adjust the tension using the hex keys and move the monitor to the desired position. Just make sure you don’t traverse the recommended weight load on the big screen.

Mountain! Dual Monitor Arm, $280: This heavy duty monitor arm holds my Ultrawide monitor and my vertical monitor, both with Benq Screenbar lights on it, as well as my webcam. It requires no effort to handle weight, and the clamps are enough to accommodate a 5-inch room and a plank stand-up table. There is always RGB lighting, but it’s not enough to splash onto the wall, so it’s a little pointless.

Harber London Professional Desk Mat, priced at $195: Use such a large table to protect the desktop. I’ve used several mats from Harber London over the years and this latest model is my favorite. The pebbled leather is soft and soft and the cushion is placed. It is also easy to clean.

Avoid using these standing tables

CORSAIR Platform: 6 tables, priced at $1,400: Where do I start? I like Corsair’s stand-up table because it’s spacious, with a fun nailboard design to install your Tchotchkes, and even has a fun rail system that allows you to install and slide things like a monitor on your desktop. Unfortunately, a few months after two monitors were installed on the included dual monitoring arms, the railway system has been tilted forward due to the weight. (I’m not the only one to experience it either.) I never really found this railway to become so useful and didn’t help. The stand function works great, you get two presets, but sometimes the small screen will give me the error message “RE5”. Pressing and holding the button will fix it, but none of these should anyone consider the crazy price. That’s the real problem. It’s so expensive that the five-year warranty feels like a slap.

Ergoav standing desk, $2,200: I wanted a standing table for years, so I was glad to try it out from Ergofx. For almost two grand magnificents, it comes with the packaging features, which include a wireless charging pad that automatically lifts up and rotates toward you, a five-output power pad and a built-in drawer that can put all your office supplies in. You can also control it through the Companion application. It features an ultra-durable laminated MDF desktop and a carbon steel frame that looks stylish. Unfortunately, it’s only been a few months to use it and I’m starting to run into problems where the tables get stuck at specific heights. This usually happens if I haven’t adjusted it for days or weeks. The only way to solve this problem is to unplug the power cord and plug it in. After each reset, it usually works again. But this problem comes back every time, so I’ve stopped trying to fix it. It becomes more valuable than value, especially at this price. – Brenda Stolyar
