Is the Electric Standing Desk Worth It?

Easiest to assemble. If the thought of a 40-minute flat-pack build is what has stopped you buying a standing desk, Vari removes that entirely. You pay a premium and accept a shorter warranty for it.

Electric Standing Desk Pros & Cons

Pros
  • Nine minutes from box to working desk, with no tools and one person
  • Solid laminate top that resists marking
  • Good cable management built in rather than bolted on
  • Vari will take the packaging away
Cons
  • $795, the most expensive here
  • 200 lb capacity, well below the rest
  • 5-year warranty against 12 to 15 elsewhere
