More people are telecommuting lately, but if you start getting aches and pains, that most likely means that the furniture in your home office isn’t ergonomic. Home office standing desks fit the bill nicely when it comes to ergonomics, and many models have come a long way since Max Allan Banfield designed them for health reasons in 1998.

It’s not good for your health to sit or stand all day at work, studies show. Too many hours standing in one place can lead to anything from skeletal disorders to circulation issues. The overall health outlook isn’t any rosier for sitting all day, either. Luckily, a height-adjustable work from home desk helps you alternate between sitting and standing throughout your workday. Getting the best one will lessen your health risk and transform your home office.

In the following list, we discuss five of the best home office sitting and standing desks. By the end of this article, you should have a good idea of what to look for in an adjustable height work desk.
