I’ve been using this standing desk for months and it sets a new standard for the price — here’s why

A desk setup built around the Geekom A5 mini PC using the Hinomi S1 standing desk.

The Hinomi S1 is a dual-motor, electric standing desk that, despite its mid-range price, has a more premium look and feel thanks to the desktop’s rounded edges and its round, three-stage legs. While there isn’t an optional first-party cable management tray you can purchase separately as an add-on, the back of the desktop does have a recessed cutout that makes running cables up from underneath the desk easier.

Starting at $549 for the smallest desktop, what really surprised me the most about the S1 is how upgrading to Hinomi’s extra-large desktop only costs an additional $150. Likewise, opting for a natural wood grain desktop and a different colored frame and legs doesn’t change the price at all.

I’ve been using the Hinomi S1 for almost six months now and it’s been a fantastic standing desk that has held up over time. Besides the lack of a cable management tray, my only real gripe is that due to its rounded legs, the desk’s feet can rotate out of alignment, particularly if you move it back and forth from the wall as many times as I have. This is because I’ve used the S1 for a number of different desk setups and need to pull it out to do so.
