Whether you’re preparing to head back to an office or continuing to hunker down at home, this much is clear: If you work at a desk, the right setup can not only make you more productive, but make you feel less achy at the end of a long day. Chiropractors and other experts have told us that a mix of sitting and standing is ideal for most people, which is why “a desk that offers the most versatility for changes of position” is among the best options, according to physical therapist Joe Tatta. Given these still uncertain times, though, if you haven’t yet invested in an adjustable standing desk, you may be wary about dropping a ton of money until you know more about where you may be expected to work most regularly. That could take time, which is why a cheaper standing-desk converter may be a better option. A converter essentially turns any surface — from kitchen table to coffee table — into a standing desk. If you’re using it at home (for now), it’ll be easy enough to take to the office, too, when the time comes. Right now, the standing desk converter that tops our list of the best-rated ones on Amazon is on sale, with the 28-inch size now 41 percent off — or just $100. Countless of its more than 7,500 stellar reviews note how easy the converter is to set up and use. One reviewer says it was “up and functional within five minutes of removing it from the box,” adding that lowering and raising it is “ridiculously easy, smooth, and quiet.” Others love that it comes with two levels, which can accommodate a monitor, laptop, keyboard, and mouse.
To get the full sale price, you need to check a box to apply an additional coupon at checkout. If you need something a bit larger, the brand’s 30-inch converter is on sale for $100, too — but again, you need to click to apply a coupon to get the full discount. Those who need something larger still can also get the 32-inch model on sale for $112 (down from $140).
