From compact standing desks and spacious electric options to lightweight desk risers, here are some of the best options to consider for the office or preferred home workspace.
Unlike traditional work desks, standing desks allow professionals to add a little activity to the workday and perform certain tasks on their feet rather than in their seats. Desk converters and similar products transform a desk into a standing desk; a convenient way to maximize the functionality of existing furniture during the workday without going all-in on a pricier full-size model. In this roundup, we've highlighted some of the best standing desks and desk converters for the dedicated office or preferred workspace around the house.

The V2 desk measures 30-inches deep and comes in a number of widths ranging from 42 inches up to 80 inches depending on the desired desktop setup. As an added bonus, the desk is also compatible with the company's under desk hammock allowing those so-inclined to take the occasional power nap at the workstation and then continue their tasks without missing a beat.

This Flexispot model is a functional electric standing desk for under $250. The motorized unit offers a traditional desk experience at 28-inches and rises up to 47.6-inches depending on height and workstation preferences.
The model offers two keypad styles to choose from, although the more versatile digital keypad costs an additional $60. The basic keypad offering features a two-button setup to either raise or lower the desk. The more advanced multibutton option touts preset capabilities and a reminder function to alert you when you've been sitting for an extended period of time.
This desktop is available in a number of sizes (up to 60-inches in width). While traditional laptop or single monitor users will certainly have ample room with the 42-inch wide desktop, those who prefer a more elaborate workstation with dual monitors and other accessories may need a larger surface area.

This Victor Technology standing desk is a solid option for smaller dedicated offices or areas doubling as part-time work areas. At 36-inches wide and 23.6-inches deep, the desk offers a compact workstation when space is at a premium unlike bulkier models on the market.

The surface area offers enough space for a laptop, secondary monitor, keyboard and mouse. However, those looking to use larger multiscreen arrays may want to consider Victor technology's larger High Rise model.
