Alternating between standing and sitting while you’re working has been shown to be effective at boosting your mood, increasing your productivity and improving your health. But while standing desks are great, they’re also pricey. That’s where our friends at Autonomous come in. The SmartDesk 2 checks all the boxes for the features you want in a standing desk. It has two different top sizes. It has four different height settings. It holds up to 300lbs even when the dual motors are moving. It even comes with a 30-day trial, 5-year warranty and affordable price tag.
