Standing desks: sizes, heights and set-up
This page has around 40 standing desks: electric sit stand desks with a desktop and mobile desks on wheels. Most 100 x 60cm electric desks cost between €149 and €229, and most 120 x 60cm desks between €159 and €259.
Small standing desks, 100 x 60cm and under
A 100 x 60cm top is the most common small size. It fits one monitor and a laptop, and suits a box room, a bedroom corner or a shared living room. Several smaller desks, around 80cm wide, take a laptop and a notebook. If you already have a desk you like, a converter adds standing height without changing the room at all. See our standing desk converters.
60cm or 80cm deep
Most tops here are 60cm deep, and 120 x 60cm is the most common size of all. An 80cm deep top comes on sizes such as 120 x 80cm, 140 x 80cm and 160 x 80cm. It puts a large monitor further from your eyes and leaves room to write in front of the keyboard. Measure the space behind your chair as well, since you need room to stand back from the desk.
Getting the height right
When you stand, the desk should sit just below your elbows, with your arms bent at about a right angle. The top of the monitor should be at or a little below eye level, which may mean a monitor arm or riser. If you are very tall, check the top height on the listing before you order. Most people switch between sitting and standing through the day rather than standing for hours.
Controls and safety
Memory presets save your sitting and standing heights, so one press takes the desk to the right place. Some desks have anti-collision sensing, which stops the desk if it meets a chair or a windowsill on the way down.
Stability
At full height, any standing desk moves a little when you type hard. A wider frame and a deeper top feel steadier, so pick the larger size if you have the room.
Cables
Leave enough slack in every cable for the desk to reach its full height. A cable tray or a few ties under the top keep the leads from catching as it moves.
Assembly
Standing desks arrive flat packed. You fix the legs to the frame, attach the top, then connect the control box and keypad.

What size standing desk do I need?

About Standing Desks
An electric standing desk lets you switch between sitting and standing at the press of a button. Most here go from about 72cm up to between 115cm and 120cm, which covers most adults sitting and standing. Memory buttons save two, three or four favourite heights, so you're not holding the button down every time.
Desktop size is the main decision. A 100 x 60cm top fits one monitor and a laptop in a box room. 120 x 60cm is the usual all-rounder, and 140cm to 160cm tops take two monitors side by side. Check the load limit on the listing too. Ours are typically rated for 70kg to 80kg, which covers a normal setup with room to spare.
The range also has pneumatic mobile desks on wheels. Most arrive flat packed with the tools included. If you already have a desk you like, our standing desk converters sit on top of it. For a corner, see our L-shaped desks. Delivery is free to the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, and orders arrive in 3.2 working days on average.
