The ERGOMAKER 140 x 60 cm electric standing desk gives you a wide spliced tabletop for around £85, which is hard to beat on size per pound. It travels between 73 and 118 cm at 14 mm per second, with soft start and stop and noise rated below 50 dB. The smart panel stores two memory heights, and hooks on both sides hold headphones or a bag. A five-year frame warranty and two years on the motor and handset add some reassurance, but the 65 kg capacity and two presets keep it firmly in budget territory.
