Steelcase AMQ Sit-to-Stand Desk

Who it fits

People from about 5′10″ to 6′7″ tall, sitting and standing. It goes from 28″ to 47.2″, which covers both desk heights across that range. It lifts up to 144 lb, fine for a laptop and a monitor.

Who should look elsewhere

• If you’re shorter than 5′10″: its lowest setting, 28″, is too high to sit at. At 5′9″ you need about 26.5″. Try the HUANUO 70x30 3-Stage Electric Standing Desk, which goes down to 23.6″.
• If you’re taller than 6′7″: it tops out at 47.2″, short of the 49.5″ someone 6′8″ needs standing.
• For three or more monitors or heavy gear, look for dual motors and a 250 lb rating. Try the Branch Duo Standing Desk, which lifts 275 lb.
