Whether you want to improve your posture, add functionality to your office, or both, a standing desk is a great tool to have at home.
Unfortunately, most standing desks can cost upwards of $500. Luckily, you don't need to break the bank to get most of the benefits of a standing desk. In this list, I put together the best standing desks under $100.
Price was not the only consideration for this list. I chose the best desks I could find based on reviews, ergonomics, features, and quality. So, let's jump in!
What Makes a Good Standing Desk?
1. It Should Be Ergonomic
To get the most comfort and health benefits, your standing desk should be posture perfect.
2. The Quality
