The past few months have been hard for everyone. For some, switching to working from home has been a boon and a benefit. To others, it’s just created a lock down backache that we’re not entirely sure how to fix. After all, it isn’t as though you can go to a chiropractor, osteopath or even get a simple massage in the lockdown. Many of us don’t even have the room to exercise it out or do a bit of yoga, which makes it a considerable problem which will only build over time. That sounds scary, right?

Fortunately, you can leave your worries at the office door – we’ve gone ahead and done the research for you, helping to figure out what the best low-cost standing desks are so you can locate an option that will snap your back into a better state of being!

IKEA is offering a SKARST desk, which is a manually adjusted standing desk, meant to fit an ergonomic office chair. These are great if you’ve got a specific and decent-sized room meant to be your home office, but not so much if you’re trying to cram yourself into a make-shift location.

SOLOS offers a basic office standing desk, which is also a motorized desk. Coming with one motor in it, the desk can be adjusted with almost zero effort on your end, meaning it’s perfect to fit in with your office chair, and then to switch into a standing position with no energy output on your end. It functions using an up / down control pad.

The HUMANSCALE quick stand eco isn’t a desk, per se, so much as it’s an easy riser. This is perfect for those who need to do their work in an area that isn’t a home office but is still at home. If you need to transform your kitchen table into an office standing desk, then the HUMANSCALE quick stand eco is the one for you!

Another product from SOLOS is the Premium L Shaped Standing Desk. This office standing desk comes with three legs and can support up to four hundred pounds, meaning you can put almost any desk accessory on it. It’s also a motorized desk, which means that you can adjust the height of this office standing desk to fit any office chair, and to account for not using an office chair at all.

FREEDESK offers an office standing desk that functions almost like an adjustable side table. This is, again, great if your office space is smaller than usual and lacking in a traditional setup It doesn’t support a lot of weight but it’s a fuss-free way to give your back a break and adjust the set-up of your office so it’s healthier and easier for you to manage.

The main thing to remember – no matter which standing office desk you decide to go with – is that it’s going to be a long term investment. You need to select a desk that ticks all of the boxes for your home office. Once you figure out which standing office desk is right for you, you’ll find that lock down backache fading away in a matter of days!
