The same desk, sitting or standing
This collection covers two ways to add a standing position to your workday: a converter that sits on your existing desk, and a full standing desk with its own frame. Both let you move between sitting and standing — the difference is whether you keep your current desk or replace it.
Desk converter or full standing desk
A converter sits on top of your existing desk and adds sit-stand function without replacing the furniture. A full standing desk is a standalone piece, with its own frame and desktop. Some converters add a separate keyboard tray, set back below the main platform; full desks offer a single continuous surface instead. Whether a separate keyboard tray is included is listed on each product page.
Manual, pneumatic, or electric
A manual mechanism adjusts with a lever. A pneumatic mechanism adjusts with a simple push, no crank to turn. An electric mechanism adjusts at the press of a button, sometimes with several saved positions. Each product page states which mechanism is used.
One or two screens
The platform's width determines whether it fits one screen, a laptop next to a monitor, or two screens side by side. Each product page lists the exact dimensions and screen compatibility.
Load capacity and stability
Maximum load varies significantly by mechanism and structure. Check the stated maximum load against your actual equipment weight before buying.
