Standing desks are perfect for those looking to avoid spending hours slouched and hunched, but most options don’t provide much storage – especially for those with heaps of barang on hand.

To house all your peripherals and gadgets, ErgoTune’s tables have a system that accommodates add-ons such as monitor arms, pegboards, and shelves, while also hiding cables and holding devices like tablets.

Depending on your tabletop’s dimensions and material, their EverDesk Lite model starts from $849, though you can get the faster and quieter dual-motor Max from $999. This upgraded model also features the Health Coach Controller, which prompts users to stand up at set intervals, while also holding up to 120kg compared to the Lite’s 70kg.

There’s also a greater height range with the Max, so if you’re under 160cm, you might feel more comfortable with the Max model instead of the Lite.

With thousands of dollars worth of tech on and around your setup, these movable desks feature a smart GyroAxis anti-collision system to halt movement when obstacles are detected.

When modifying the height, the last thing you’d want is for your standing desk to accidentally knock into your printer or any other nearby object as the table lowers or raises itself to its new set height.

The GyroAxis anti-collision system halts movement upon detecting obstacles, ensuring that your standing desk avoids causing unintended damage and, at the same time, safeguards itself from harm.

Once you’ve configured the desk’s settings just right, you can even program one of the desk’s 4 preset buttons to turn on your set of preferred settings. That doesn’t mean less time fussing about height adjustments when you want to shift from sitting to standing mode in a jiffy.

Plus, having 4 preset buttons also means this table can be shared comfortably with 3 other individuals – ideal for sharing with other WFH members in the family.

What to consider when buying a standing desk

The ability to adjust your standing desk’s height


Seeing as the whole point of standing desks is to give you the flexibility to adjust its height whenever you’re sick of sitting, you’ll want to consider the range of the desk’s height adjustment.

For instance, you wouldn’t want the maximum height to be at a level where you find yourself still crouched over, nor would you want to have your arms and shoulders raised higher than what is comfortable when you’re seated. Ideally, the desk should be capable of adjusting to the height of your elbow when you’re both sitting and standing for optimal comfort.


Good depth & width to fit all your work equipment


Make sure that the dimensions of your standing desk meets your workstation preferences. Do you prefer having everything within arm’s reach or would you like it if things were more spread out? Once you’ve determined what your ideal table surface size is, you can pick a desk that meets your needs.


The right adjustment mechanisms to comfortably adjust the desk’s height


There are 3 types of standing desks: electric, pneumatic, and manual. Electric desks are heavier, so changing their location in your room might prove tough, but it’s easier to adjust their heights smoothly at just a touch of a button.

Pneumatic desks, on the other hand, require you to press a lever to raise the desk, but this is rarely a smooth process. Lastly, manual desks utilise a crank lever system that needs to be wound up or down to achieve the desired height.


Decent adjustment noise levels that won’t disturb you when you work


For those who are particularly sensitive to sound, you might want to consider the noise your standing desk’s adjustment motors might make. Most are around 50-60dB, with electrical desks’ being louder. That said, there are now models that can function at much softer levels.


Good weight capacity to withstand everything that’s on your desk


Every standing desk for work should possess an adequate weight capacity to support your office essentials, especially your computer.


Are standing desks really better for you?

Apart from improved posture and reduced muscle tension, there are several benefits of using a standing desk for work. For one, standing for prolonged periods helps to reduce the risks of obesity and weight gain in the long run.

Sure, it’s generally preferable that you get your steps or exercise in but, hey, lazy days exist. With a standing desk, you can burn off those calories that you wouldn’t otherwise be able to do from sitting down all day. Other benefits include better blood circulation, increased productivity and mood, and possibly lowering blood sugar levels.


How long should you stand at a standing desk?

Lest you suffer from leg cramps from standing too long, make sure to alternate between sitting and standing. A good ratio would be an hour of standing to 2 hours of sitting. Alternatively, try standing 5-15 minutes every hour if a full 60 minutes is challenging.


Where to get standing desks in Singapore

You don’t necessarily need to set unrealistic fitness goals to improve your health. Sometimes, a small adjustment, such as altering your work habits, can make a significant difference.

If body aches and sluggishness have been getting the better of you, don’t take these problems sitting down. It’s time to take a stand – literally – to improve both your physical and mental health with these standing desks.
