Standing desks aren't the answer to the sitting epidemic—you should get moving instead—but they're a good way to stretch your legs if you work from home. The desk's adjustable height lets you add accessories like a walking treadmill underneath to rank up your daily step count or an under-desk bike if you want to try them. Adjustable-height desks are usually pricey, but one of our favorite affordable models, the Flexispot EN1, is currently on sale for $245.
This is the same model as the one in our Work-From-Home Gear guide, except it's slightly larger with a 55-inch surface area. You get three height presets, handy if more than one person will be using the desk, and it goes from 28 to around 48 inches tall. The single motor isn't too loud, and it doesn't wobble much, though don't expect it to move very fast. You can put up to 154 pounds of equipment on the desktop. I've been using the 48-inch version for more than half a year and it hasn't failed once.
