We typed on twenty-two standing desks
for a year. Five earned the room.

Independent standing desk reviews with measured wobble at load, motor-noise readings, and the kind of long-term notes you only get from eleven months of switching positions. No sponsored picks. No promo codes baked into the verdict.
