There are some good rules of thumb to follow to ensure you find some great standing desk deals on Black Friday 2024 - whether you’re shopping for a new standing desk, a new laptop, or anything else.

What is the best way to ensure you’re on top of things? Do your research before the best deals start to appear. When it comes to standing desks, you’ll have to spend some time to figure out exactly what features you need on your new bit of furniture and which attributes you’re willing to leave behind to secure the best price possible. We’ve explained exactly what to look for below.

Beyond the desks themselves, ensure you’re ready for the moment you sit down to buy your new product - because you’ll be better off if you’re prepared to shop around. While it’s true that all of the big retailers tend to match their prices, they also try to get an edge over their rivals by offering free gifts and bundles. Those incentives can make a difference when you’re ready to place an order.

We’ll stay on top of the best standing desk deals on Black Friday and beyond, so keep this page bookmarked if you want to ensure you’re getting the best discounts and offers. But if you want to strike out on your own, check all the big retailers before you splash the cash.

It’s worth casting your net wide in terms of dates, especially if you want the best deal. The top Black Friday discounts do tend to arrive on the week of the event, but it’s common to see other good deals pop up throughout all of November and sometimes as early as October.

If you decide to pounce on an earlier deal, consider keeping your standing desk boxed until all of the best Black Friday deals have emerged. You could easily see your desk reduced even further, and you could buy the cheaper model and return the earlier purchase for a refund - saving yourself even more cash.

How to choose a standing desk deal on Black Friday

A standing desk is a specialist bit of kit that plenty of people have embraced over the past couple of years, and it pays to examine the specifications before you shell out on a Black Friday deal.

The first thing you need to consider is the desk’s height. It’s no good buying a standing desk if its maximum height isn’t going to be tall enough for you to stand and work comfortably. Similarly, consider the minimum height - you’ll want to sit down sometimes too.

Make sure the desk is big enough for your working environment and that it’ll fit into its intended space, and check the weight capacity: you don’t want to load it up with monitors and find out that it can’t take the strain.

Standing desks use electric, manual or pneumatic adjustment systems. Think about which will be easiest for you to use, and ensure you’ve got a spare plug if you go down the electric route.

It’s important to think about the environment around your desk. If you use monitor arms, ensure they can easily attach to your desk. If you need a keyboard tray, add one to your order - and think about a footrest. And if you’re going to buy a new standing desk, maybe it’s worth upgrading to a new office chair, too: you won’t be standing all the time, and it’s vital to get ergonomic support no matter how you choose to work.
