Most modern standing desks use a motorized or mechanical lifting system that lets you easily raise or lower the desktop to the desired height. UpDown Desk’s electric models, for instance, feature a sturdy frame with a built-in motor(s) and a controller. By pressing a button, you can smoothly transition between sitting and standing positions. Many designs also include preset options, so you can save specific heights for quick adjustments throughout the day—helping reduce back strain and encourage better posture.

The key is to position your desk so your elbows sit at roughly a 90-degree angle, helping minimize strain on your shoulders and wrists. Additionally, keep the top of your monitor at- or just below - eye level to avoid tilting your neck. Your exact comfort range may vary depending on factors like arm length, chair height, and monitor size. For a detailed chart and setup tips, check out our standing desk height guide.

Experts often recommend standing for 15–30 minutes each hour. Over time, aim for a 1:1 or 2:1 ratio of sitting to standing. The key is to move frequently, maintain proper posture, and listen to your body’s cues. For a deeper dive, see our guide: How Long Should You Stand at a Standing Desk?

The lifespan of a standing desk depends on its type and quality. An electric desk has motors and an electronic control mechanism which are the two most vulnerable components in terms of wearing out. A good quality electric desk which is properly cared for can last over 10 years. A manual desk, with fewer electronic components can last longer but does not offer adjustment at the touch of a button like the electronic desks. At UpDown Desk, we stand by the durability of our products, offering a 10-year warranty on our standing desks.

A standing desk is a fully height-adjustable workstation, allowing you to raise or lower the entire surface. A desk converter is a separate platform placed on top of an existing desk to elevate your monitor and keyboard—often a simpler, more budget-friendly option, but with less total workspace and stability than a dedicated standing desk.

Prioritize a sturdy frame for long-term stability, and choose a desktop material that fits both your style and sustainability goals - like bamboo or Australian native hardwood. Review the warranty and return policy, and watch out for hidden delivery costs that can inflate the total price. Look for easy assembly (including clear instructions and pre-threaded inserts) and built-in cable management to keep your workspace tidy. Finally, weigh the overall price against the desk’s durability and functionality to ensure you’re getting solid value for your investment.
