Standing desks let you switch between sitting and standing throughout the day, which can improve energy levels, reduce stiffness, and break up long periods of sedentary work. The best models use dual motors for smooth, quiet height adjustment and include memory presets so you can switch positions with a single button press. Key things to consider include the height range (especially if you're particularly tall or short), desktop size for your monitor and peripherals, and weight capacity if you're running a multi-monitor setup.
