10 Reviews: Best Standing Desk for Small Spaces (Apr 2024)

Let’s start with this standing desk by Vivo, a well-known brand. The tiers are large enough for 1 or 2 monitors, a keyboard tray, and a mouse. With the highest weight capacity, you may be certain that this model can handle a bit more. If you work from the upper tier, the keyboard tray can be removed, making the workstation ideal for people up to 6 feet 7 inches tall.

I use this as a desk in the living room so I can be with my wife and kids. Though I am working I still feel like I am apart of their life instead of being at my desk in the back of the house. The motor is super smooth and the desk is sturdy. It is also easy to move. I would recommend this product.

Due to the obvious curved shape of the keyboard tray and the recess on the top tier, there is a little space lost on each tier of this standing desk. However, you should have enough space for a monitor and laptop on the top tier and a keyboard and mouse on the bottom tier. Furthermore, all 4 caster wheels are lockable, giving you peace of mind that your desk is secure, stable, and sturdy.

I love this desk. It's perfect for the space I have. Very sturdy. Good material. It doesn't wiggle or move and the wheels work great. If they're set the desk doesn't move at all. When they're open to move the desk moves easily. I like the ease in which I can stand or lower the top part; the handle is super easy to use. I feel this is the best buy I've gotten for my office set up at home.

This standing desk’s control panel (front left) can be configured for three height presets, or you can simply use the up and down buttons. There’s also a timer for reminders to sit and stand. The powder-coated steel frame is very durable. The worktops are constructed of environmentally friendly particle board, and there are four full-swivel casters, two of which are lockable, allowing simple mobility.

I needed an option for standing at my desk. The popular ones that elevate your monitor are good if you want to just stand exactly where you sit. This product gives you the option to move, which I really like. I basically have a mobile podium. It’s well built, rolls on solid casters, and can easily hold my 34” monitor. Very pleased with the purchase.

Next up is the FlexiSpot MT3 which adjusts manually through a gas spring. This desk has a tilt option that allows for a positive angle of up to 18 degrees, as well as a ledge stopper to prevent your laptop or papers from dropping. Although the MT3 has one of the lowest weight capabilities, it does include a hook on the middle shaft that can hold up to 11 pounds for your coat, laptop bag, or anything else you want to keep handy.

As someone who gets bored easily, this is perfect for me. If I need to see a different view, I just move this easily. It comes with a lock as well.

This outstanding standing desk is included on our list since this desktop tilts, making it suitable to be used as a lectern-style podium–ideal for giving presentations or sharing images with coworkers. It has a ledge stopper to prevent your laptop or papers from sliding off. In addition, the sturdy steel frame has a black powder coat finish, and the tabletop features rounded edges for comfort and safety.

I really like this product! I can sit down to eat, while watching tv, and my back is nice and straight. I keep the top level, like a table. Then, when I want to stand up, I push down on the pedal, and pull upwards. It slides up, and locks high enough, so that my back is straight, again! Nice!

The Seville Classics Pneumatic Mobile Desk is ideal for laptop users or people who need a standing desk for various tasks like painting or writing. The table’s height can be adjusted using a lever on a single leg. Pneumatic adjustments aren’t as smooth as electronic ones, but at this price range, they’ll suffice. Since the whole standing desk weighs just around 25 pounds, transporting it around is a breeze. The four casters move smoothly, and two of them can be locked to prevent the desk from slipping.

I use this at my business and use it all over the office. I love the way it can adjust to different heights. It is lightweight and moves around easily. Very easy to put together. I use it to do consultations and show videos and slides to potential customers. Also as a table side work station when applying treatments to my clients. Worth the money!

The desk’s height can be adjusted from 24 inches at its lowest setting to 48 inches at its maximum setting. Simply use the LED controller to choose your desired height or choose from four pre-programmed memory presets to move the work surface up and down, and the twin motors powering the desk will do the hard lifting for you. The desktop can support several monitors due to its 225-pound weight capacity. MotionWise added a stationery drawer to the desk as an extra touch.

Great standing desk. It is very sturdy, perfect size for two monitors and works very well.

Standing desk converters are offered by House of Trade in a number of styles. Each has its own appeal, but you can’t go wrong with the Deskriser 28X if you need a desk riser for a small space. Its small work area (28” x 20”) fits into even the tightest of spaces. It’s also very portable. It sits on top of the desk without the need for any additional clamps. The Deskriser 28X can be folded flat and stored away beneath your desk when not in use.

This desk riser has worked perfectly for my office and my space. I definitely recommend it.

Ergo Desktop’s Kangaroo Pro Junior standing desk converter has a post and base design. The monitor and work surface are mounted individually on this post and can be adjusted in height independently. The work surface can be elevated to a height of 14.5 inches. Furthermore, the display can be adjusted in height up to 6.5 inches from the work surface. This will raise the monitor up to eye level for most people of average height.

I was impressed by how well-made and stable the desktop is. I'm using constantly with my home computer. Highly recommended!

The stability of desk risers is a frequent issue among users. But, with the Ergotron WorkFit-S, you’ll not find that issue anymore. This standing desk converter has a polished aluminum base and desk clamps that attach to the front of your desk, giving you a stable workspace at both sitting and standing heights. It is designed to support two monitors on its own, and adjusting the height is simple; just push it gently.

Bought this for work- it’s held up quite well, the person using it is very tall so we had to order the additional height extension. Works great!
