Cyber Monday standing desk deals: Buying advice
When does Black Friday and Cyber Monday start and when does it end?
Black Friday started on November 28 with sales running throughout the weekend, right up through Cyber Monday on December 1. Most sales will end at midnight on the Monday.
What's the best height range for my height?
For best results with a standing desk, you want to be able to stand up straight with your arms in a 90-degree L-shaped position on the desk - and no hunching over.
To find the right fit, measure from your feet to the crook of your elbow - this will help you decide what the maximum height your desk needs to be set to.
With that in mind, I've created a table to help you identify the best desk height range for your height.
User height | Desk height |
|---|---|
Under 5'4" | 23 - 42in (58 - 107cm) |
Between 5'4" and 6' | 25 - 47in (63 - 119cm) |
Over 6' | 28 - 51in or above (71 - 130cm or above) |
How do I choose the right standing desk deal for Black Friday and Cyber Monday?
These are the specs I recommend checking before buying a standing desk during the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales.
Height range
This determines how high (or low) the desk can go. I've listed the best height ranges above for petite, average, and taller users. Generally, I see standing desks spanning 28in to 48in. However, the Secretlab Magnus Pro hits just over 49in, and Vari's range tops out at 50.5in, which is one of the tallest I've ever seen.
Desktop size
Measure up before committing to the purchase. Most desk-makers offer a range of desktop sizes starting from 40x24in (100x60cm). The smallest full-sized desk I've seen, suitable for laptops and keyboards, is 32in. For a more premium build, check out the 36in Branch Duo. It's my top choice for smaller spaces.
Single board vs splice board
Go for a single-board standing desk. This means the desktop comes as a single piece that's far more stable than a weaker two-piece (or splice board) desktop. I usually only see splice board desks at the ultra-budget end of the market, and I recommend avoiding them unless you have to.
Motors
Most mid-range and premium standing desks (and certain budget models from FlexiSpot) feature a dual-motor. This makes them quicker and smoother to lift or lower, increase lifting capacity, improve stability, and remain quiet in use. Lower-priced standing desks will usually only have a single motor, and the reverse is true - they're less stable, noisier, can't lift as much, and can't do it smoothly. For that reason, I'd recommend choosing a deal with dual motors.
Watch out for manual standing desks - ideal if you're using it away from a mains outlet, but require more energy to crank up to full height compared to electric standing desks.
Weight load capacity
This tells you how much you can place on the desk and it still functions. In my view, the higher the weight load (or weight limit), the better. Especially if you're loading up the desk with laptops, mobile devices, and multiple monitors. In some cases, the weight limit may differ when the desk is at a standstill and when it's in motion.
Quiet operation
Almost every standing desk deal here has a sub-50 decibel noise level when in use, which is an audible but quiet whir that's suitable for shared workspaces.
Memory presets
I love standing desks with two or more memory presets. You program a set height for sitting and one for standing, then at a touch of the button it will automatically lower or lift to that height. It takes all the time and guesswork out of adjusting the height of the desk every time you switch from sitting to standing. Most modern electric standing desks feature these programmable keypads. Budget ranges usually feature two, while mid-range and premium desks have three or four presets.
Key features
Beyond the above, key features to check for are: programmable keypad and anti-collision detection - which you'll find on most standing desk deals. Cable management trays are always welcome, but they're often only available separately, rather than included with the desk. If cable management is important, I recommend desk ranges from Ergonofis and Secretlab., which have built-in cable storage.
Price and value
Cheaper standing desks may be low in price, but I don't find they offer good long-term value. Build quality is lower, feature-sets are small, and stability is lower. And warranty length is also generally just one or two years.
If possible, opt for a standing desk deal from a known brand. My team and I have reviewed a wide range of desks from well-known manufacturers that deliver everything you'll want during the Black Friday sales.
At the budget and mid-range end, look for desks from makers like FlexiSpot, Fezibo, Autonomous, Maidesite, and Uplift. For premium standing desk deals, Vari, Branch, Herman Miller, Secretlab, Ergonofis, and Friska are all excellent investments.
