Sitting down for hours on end multiple days a week is not exactly the healthiest thing you can do. If you work in front of a screen, you don’t have a choice but to sit in the matter, unless you use a standing desk.
The $160 Ergomaker 55-Inch Electric Standing Desk is on sale at Amazon for only $85, and it’s a great way to remain active while you’re working, especially when paired with a walking pad. Shoppers love it, calling it “a great balance between value and function.”
Ergomaker 55-Inch Electric Standing Desk, $85 (was $160) at Amazon
This standing desk is massive, offering 55 inches of desktop space for laptops, PCs, monitors, and all manner of accessories. Once you plug it in, you can adjust the height of the desk from 28.7 inches to 46.5 inches with a single button press. However, you can also pick a height between those two options with equally simple button presses to get the height of the desk just right. Better yet, you can program up to two different heights into the standing desk. The desk operates quietly when shifting between heights, typically lower than 50 decibels, which is no louder than a humming refrigerator.
Despite its versatility, this desk doesn’t skimp on build quality. The legs of the desk are made from heavy-duty steel, which has a weight capacity of 143 pounds, which should be more than enough to handle all your tech and office essentials. There’s even a hook on the right side of the desk to perch a pair of headphones or a purse. It’s also available in white, rustic brown, and black, and it’s nominally more inexpensive if you opt for that third option. However, if you want the brown or white desks, it’s only $5 more.
“The height-adjustable table is a game changer — smooth, sturdy, and easy to adjust,” one shopper said. “It encourages better posture and lets you alternate between sitting and standing effortlessly. A great buy for comfort and productivity.”
The Ergomaker 55-Inch Electric Standing Desk retails for $160, but you can shop it at Amazon for only $85.
