Questions people ask
Do I need a standing desk or a desk converter?
A converter sits on top of the desk you already have and lifts your screen and keyboard, so it's the easy option for a dorm or a desk you love. A full standing desk raises the whole surface. TechRadar's budget converter, the VIVO 32 inch, is stable and smooth for about a third of the cost of a premium model, but has a shallow keyboard tray.
Do I really need an anti-fatigue mat for a standing desk?
If you stand on a hard floor, it's the cheapest comfort upgrade there is. TechRadar's budget pick, the Sky Solutions mat, is high-density memory foam with a non-slip bottom; its top pick, the Vari ActiveMat, adds raised edges for stretching your feet.
Can I put a walking pad under any standing desk?
Most under-desk treadmills are built for walking, not running. Garage Gym Reviews says the WalkingPad P1 isn't built for more than a brisk walk, and TechRadar's pick, the Lifespan TR1200-DT3, is a big, bulky unit, so measure the space under your desk first.
