If having the strongest standing desk possible is your goal, look no further than the mighty four-legged behemoth that is the E7 Plus, which has a static weight limit of up to 540 pounds. Even though you probably won't be loading it up to capacity, that extra power translates to some of the smoothest height adjustment money can buy. (Click the "Bamboo" option to get this price).

Standing desks with four legs aren't particularly common, but there's no doubt that this design ranks the E7 among the best standing desks out there. It raises and lowers with unfettered smoothness, you can stand three people on it without any mechanical failure, and it still looks sleek despite its overbuilt underside.

Alongside its strength and stability, the E7 boasts a slew of nice accessories that keep your workspace functional and organized. Most notably, it comes with a bonus USB charging port on the front control panel and a spacious cable management tray. It also has a 15-year warranty, which is one of the most robust warranties we've seen with home office equipment.
