This high-end standing desk made my home office a place I love - and it's on sale this Black Friday

This is my top choice - I think it's unique looking in a lovely way but also very functional and sturdy. It's really hard to find a standing desk that doesn't look mass-produced or standard issue - but this one is different. It has an oak laminate finish, so it's durable and scratch resistant - and comes with three full desk drawers to keep your space clean.

This is the desk I'm currently reviewing - and the cheapest on the list - but nothing about this desk feels cheap. The material (in my case, the light rubberwood) looks fantastic, and the standing desk function has changed my afternoons. To give you an idea of the space you get, I've put 26 books and two plants on the upper monitor stand - and it doesn't feel remotely strained or unstable.

Anther really unique looking desk, the Opal Executive Office Desk is definitely a statement piece, although it does feel a little like something you'd see as a fancy hairdresser's reception. The legs open up with built in storage compartment, and you can even customize this with height-adjustable versions available. If you need something to fit a smaller room, this probably isn't the best choice - but in the right room this would be fantastic.

This is another really sleek looking design. The super sturdy build is paired with two huge draws to keep away the clutter. My one note with this desk is that the standing desk mechanism is black while the rest of the desk is walnut - but thar's me being picky. It has a dual motor system, with height adjustable between 29.5" and 48" - and the three stage legs promise extra stability.

This is another desk that's priced on the more modest side and it has a very distinct design - although it's not my style. It again has lots of storage space in the form of desk drawers, which really help if you're making full use of the standing desk function. It only has three programmable standing desk settings, where a lot will have five - but it comes with obstacle detection.
