1. EverDesk – With add-ons from $25 for extra storage
Image credit: EverDesk
Standing desks are perfect for those looking to avoid spending hours slouched and hunched, but most options don’t provide much storage – especially for those with heaps of barang on hand. To house all your peripherals and gadgets, EverDesk has a system that accommodates add-ons like monitor arms, pegboards and shelves, while also hiding cables and holding devices like tablets.
Depending on tabletop dimensions and material, EverDesk starts from $499 for the single-motor Lite model, though you can get the faster and quieter dual-motor Max from $649. This upgraded model also features the Health Coach Controller, which prompts users to stand up at set intervals, while also withstanding up to 120kg to the Lite’s 70kg.
In addition to their range of classic finishes, EverDesk is also available in a range of natural wood finishes like Aged Darkened Walnut and Raw Ashen Oak.Image credit: EverDesk
With thousands of dollars worth of tech on and around your setup, these movable desks feature a smart GyroAxis anti-collision system to halt movement when obstacles are detected. For the ultimate utility, opt for Natural Wood Series table tops which sport the innovative UniGroove – which lets you add extra accessories while propping up tablets and managing charging cables.

2. Omnidesk Ascent – Highly functional & premium wood finishes

If you’re looking for that desk that can be the centerpiece of your workspace, Omnidesk offers a range of solid wood tabletops that can match any vibe and aesthetic.
The brand offers extensive cable management options depending on how busy your desk is. For example, the Omnidesk Ascent (from $870) comes with a built-in cable management system consisting of an extra long cable management bar and grommet hole to keep your desk neat.
It’s also designed to keep you active while you work. Set sit/stand reminders and save up to 4 presets – good for 2 people – so you don’t have to manually readjust to your desired height before every work or gaming session. See it in action in this fresh and modern desk setup.

3. Hinomi Smart Standing Desk S1 – Uses voice control
We live in a smart age where you barely have to lift a finger to get things done. Just a quick voice command to Alexa, Google, or Siri can switch on or off lights, set room temperatures, and even operate digital locks. So it only makes sense that your WFH desk should be able to do the same.

Enter the Hinomi Smart Standing Desk S1. Say “hi desk, lift table” or “hi desk, lower table” and your wish is the desk’s command. The table can be adjusted between a height of 72cm-120cm, so it’ll fit just about any user – big or small.
Once you’ve configured the desk’s settings just right, you can even programme it to one of the desk’s 4 preset buttons. That doesn’t mean less time fussing about height adjustments when you want to shift from sitting to standing mode in a jiffy. Having 4 preset buttons means this table can be shared comfortably with 3 other individuals – ideal for sharing with other WFH members in the family.
The table comes in at $899 but you can now get it at $629 with free shipping in Singapore.

5. Ergonomic Standing Desk – Slot for tablets or phone
Serial multitaskers can upgrade their existing table easily by adding on the Ergonomic Standing Desk (from $249).

If you’ve got several screens in your office, consider upgrading the desk to its XL-sized cousin – the ErGo X1 – which can fit 2 desktop screens, with room to spare for a coffee mug and decorative items like potted plants and photo frames.
To top that off, since it’s a converter, rather than a full standing desk, it can be stowed away under the table whenever you prefer to use your desk for something else.

6. IKEA TROTTEN – All-white design with manual crank

In true IKEA style, this one comes with plenty of desk space that 2 can share comfortably. Whenever you’re feeling a little sore, turn the easy-to-use crank under the table to adjust the table’s height anywhere from 70cm-122cm.

It’s already quite large to begin with, with its 120cm x 60cm surface area. But for loose bits like stationery and notebooks, you can squirrel them away in the table’s built-in storage drawer.
This clears up space on the table to comfortably fit a monitor, keyboard, and laptop at the very least. Then the table can be adjusted between 72cm-121cm. As an added convenience, the control panel also includes 2 USB-A ports and 1 USB-C port to charge your electronic devices.
