Desk Comparator

Your desk is the centrepiece of your workspace. Whether you work from home, freelance or game, the desk you choose directly affects your posture, comfort and daily productivity.

Standing, gaming or classic? Standing desks (sit-stand) have become essential for anyone spending long hours in front of a screen. By alternating positions, you reduce fatigue and back pain. Gaming desks often feature optimised surfaces for multi-monitor setups with built-in cable management and mouse-friendly coatings. Classic desks remain the most affordable option for simple use.

Motorisation is the key criterion for standing desks. A single motor is sufficient for light setups, but a dual motor provides better stability, higher weight capacity and quieter operation. Memory presets (3 or 4 positions) let you switch heights with a single press.

Desktop surface should match your needs. A 120 x 60 cm top works for one monitor and a keyboard. For two monitors or a full gaming setup, go for 140 x 70 cm or more. A depth of at least 70 cm ensures a comfortable viewing distance.

Height range is essential for motorised desks. A range of 60 to 125 cm suits most body types, both sitting and standing. Also check the maximum weight capacity: 70 kg for single motor, 100 to 130 kg for dual motor.

Budget: a decent classic desk costs between 60 and 150 euros. Single-motor standing desks range from 200 to 350 euros, while quality dual-motor models sit between 300 and 500 euros. Beyond that, you get premium finishes and specialised brands.
