Is the Standing Desk Worth It?

Best mid-price desk. Branch sits neatly between the $399 FlexiSpot and the $749 Uplift and gives up little to either. A sensible desk for a room you want to look tidy.

Standing Desk Pros & Cons

Pros
  • 5 mm sway and a 275 lb capacity for $549
  • 10-year warranty, better than Vari at a lower price
  • Looks like office furniture rather than a gaming rig
  • 25-minute assembly with clear instructions
Cons
  • Three presets rather than four
  • Fewer top sizes and finishes than Uplift
  • Ships slower than the Amazon options
