Finally, the solution to sitting all day is here — standing desks! Gone are the days of spending hours in a sedentary position in front of your computer. Today you can be active and healthy while still getting work done.

You can even potentially burn close to 170 additional calories by standing and working.

Standing while working can also reduce fatigue and improve your mood. This, in turn, leads to a better level of productivity.

Electric standing desks have been a popular choice for those who work at their desk all day. They’re easy to use, requiring only a touch of the switch to adjust their heights, and do not require much energy.

Manual models require some physical effort to change the heights but may give you finer control over the exact heights. Plus, no motor noise during the raising and lowering means fewer distractions while working.

We bring you a round-up of the 10 best standing desks and height adjustable tables to fit any budget and provide an ergonomic workspace for you to get things done with ease.

The wildly popular ErgoTune office chair inventors have come up with a winning formula for standing desks — and it’s available in two sizes. The EverDesk+ Max features an extensive range of space-saving add-ons that can help you organise your desk or make adjustments to improve ergonomics, including modular desk shelves, peg board panels and monitor arms.

The Max model supports up to 120 kg of weight, while the Lite supports 70 kg, and the former is equipped with dual motors as opposed to the latter’s single motor. The Max model also comes with a Health Coach feature that reminds you to switch between sitting and standing.

With its wide range of customisation options, this standing desk is designed for those who shun mass-market furniture.
