Obviously this year isn’t over yet, but one of our collective New Year’s resolutions has been to improve our posture (as an office that works on laptops approximately 95 percent of the time, we really need to work on this). So when we got the chance to try out the standing EverDesk, we couldn’t say no.

The EverDesk comes in two versions: the EverDesk Max (the one we tried), and the EverDesk Lite. In terms of aesthetic customization, both models offer the same options, but note a couple of key differences. The Max’s dual motors hold more weight, and it adjusts more quickly and quietly. The Max also has a greater adjustable height range of 60cm to 124cm (EverDesk recommends getting the Max if you’re shorter than 160cm). And while both have controllers to move the desk up and down, the Max has a “Health Coach” feature built into the knob, which you can program with sit-stand timers to remind yourself to change positions throughout the day; in comparison, the Lite uses a simple up and down controller.
