I tested out the Tribesigns mobile standing desk and its compact minimalism is ideal for small spaces

Standing desks have become increasingly popular over the last several years, especially as working from home grows. The quality and features have grown along with that popularity. Some of the desks I am testing right now are well into $3,000, and that's not even fully featured or the most expensive that specific desk can get.

The point is that the best standing desks are getting larger in terms of size, feature sets, and price. For those who have one of those and want another workspace, or those who wish to have just a simple, bare-bones workspace that isn't their kitchen table, counter, or slumped over on their couch, the TribeSign Mobile Height Adjustable Desk may be an excellent option for you.

It's designed to be a cart you can roll in front of a couch, for example, to provide a workspace to place your laptop and get some work done without staring down at your lap. It's great for that, but I have actually found use for this desk as a heavily used workspace where I have been able to get some serious work done.

I won't say that this desk compares to some of the premium standing desks, because it doesn't. But what it does well is the bare-bones basics, for a very low cost. With that in mind, and the caveat of budget pricing, I'll give this desk a 4/5. But let me explain further...

Tribesigns Mobile Height Adjustable Desk: Unboxing & first impressions

The desk came in compact packaging with the basic tools and components needed. I built this desk in 16 minutes from start to finish, and it was incredibly easy to do.

Once I got this desk together, I could see how simple and lightweight it was. It's minimalistic and has simple controls to raise and lower the desk, albeit manually. It is not easy to do if you have things on the desk weighing it down, but regardless, it has the ability.

I also noticed the simple grommet power solution, and immediately noted how it could be used with an upgraded grommet, if desired or needed.

Tribesigns Mobile Height Adjustable Desk: Design & Build Quality

The TribeSign Mobile Height Adjustable Desk is compact and made for small or multi-use spaces. The materials are budget-grade, though the desk is solid for the price point. The keyboard and mouse sliding tray works well and is easy enough to use. It's pretty shallow, but I can fit a standard Logitech MX Keys and a Logitech MX Anywhere mouse.

Tribesigns Mobile Height Adjustable Desk: In use

As I mentioned, this desk is designed to roll out in a living room scenario and be a temporary or simple workstation. However, without intending it, this desk has become a heavily used workstation for me in the last month. I set this up upstairs in my house to try it out when my basement office overruns guests.

Since then, I have found myself needing to use this desk quite a bit, so much so that I have added a 32" Dell monitor I am testing (review coming soon), a Logitech MX Keys, Logitech MX Anywhere, a Grovemade iPad Stand I love using with my MacBook, and even a BenQ Laptop Light Bar that I have behind the monitor to bouce light off the wall at night.

I use the monitor as a hub to charge my lightbar, iPhone/iPad if needed, and, of course, my MacBook Pro while plugged in. Occasionally, I will charge my AirPods on the wireless charger, but I'm more tempted to upgrade this grommet with a nicer one that gives me better output.

This desk works even with this setup, as you can see in the pictures. It feels like it shouldn't, but it has been working for months. It's simple. It's minimal, not expensive, nor bougie, but it works. And, sometimes, that's all you need.

I still greatly prefer my fancy desks, which I get to build and use daily. Those are still my primary workstations and the ones I like. But if you are short on space and only have a little room to fit in a workstation, this one is shockingly impressive.

I'll admit, I have yet to mess with the height settings manually I have this desk on right now, but setting the height in the first place has given me a great height to use a mouse and keyboard with the tray and see my monitor at the height I want.
All around, as a secondary desk space, smaller desk space, or even this makeshift minimalist desk, the TribeSigns Mobile Height Adjustable Desk has surprised me.

Tribesigns Mobile Height Adjustable Desk: Final verdict

TribeSigns Mobile Height Adjustable Desk is a budget-friendly and versatile option for anyone looking for a space-saving workstation. Though it won't replace a full desk for intensive use, its mobility and built-in features make it a great addition to any home or office environment.
