Quick answer

Want to keep your current desk? Choose a desktop converter like the DeskMatic, Elevar Maxi-Electric X or Vertilift Pro that sits on top of it. Want a full desk? Choose a full sit-stand desk — dual-motor models lift more and are more stable for multi-monitor setups, while single-motor models are great value for lighter setups.

Converter or full desk?

Choose a converter if…

You want to keep your current desk, need a quick setup, or are in a shared office.

Choose a full desk if…

You want the whole surface to move, have lots of equipment, or are setting up a new space.

Make standing comfortable

Standing still for long periods isn’t ideal either. An anti-fatigue mat or active standing board encourages small movements and reduces fatigue.

Frequently asked questions

Single motor or dual motor standing desk?

Dual-motor desks generally lift more, move more smoothly and are more stable — ideal for multiple monitors. Single-motor desks are good value for lighter setups.

How long should I stand at a standing desk?

Alternate between sitting and standing through the day. Many people start with 15–30 minutes of standing at a time and build up.

Can I use my existing desk?

Yes — a desktop sit-stand converter sits on top of your current desk and raises your screens and keyboard.
