It should be no surprise to anyone at this point when I say that sitting in a chair all day just isn’t something the human body is designed to do. We’re supposed to be upright and ideally moving around now and again, keeping our energy levels up, our mental gears turning more smoothly, and our blood circulating properly — which is why it’s good that standing desks have become more popular in recent years.

This Autonomous motorized standing desk (model A168-A10) is a fully electric, height-adjustable (from 29.4″ to 40″) option that’s built on a sturdy steel frame, with a smooth and silent motor system capable of lifting up to 300 pounds of weight. So I guess you could, uh, have a fully grown person integrated into your workspace…? Or a bunch of monitors and stuff, y’know, whatever makes you happy.

The lift mechanism is easily controlled with the built-in keypad beneath the desk surface. It has manual up-and-down adjustment options, or you can use one of four height presets (which you can program yourself), making it easy and comfortable for multiple people to take turns using the desk.

As for the top surface, you get about 53″ x 29″ of desk real estate, which should be plenty of room for whatever you need to get your work done.

You can get this adjustable standing desk for $499 on Amazon in a variety of frame + tabletop color combinations.

Been thinking of getting a standing desk but would rather choose your own top surface? Have a regular desk you already like and would like to convert it to a standing one? This electric “stand up” desk frame provides an excelent base for doing either of those things.

This dual-motor frame is super stable, operates smoothly and quietly, goes plenty high or low enough as needed, and it can hold/lift up to 330 pounds, so you can use pretty much any kind of surface you want on there, whether it’s a basic slab of MDF or that heavy butcher block countertop you’ve been eyeing at the hardware store. Having a hefty twin-monitor setup is no problem at all on this bad boy.

Get the frame for $290 on Amazon in your choice of white or black.
