Our Methodology

We use each standing desk for at least 3 weeks in a real office setup. We measure height transition speed, motor noise with an SPL meter, wobble at max height with a level, and weight capacity with calibrated loads. We also evaluate cable management, assembly difficulty, and preset memory features. No manufacturer has editorial influence.
