X-Chair Standing Desk review: an affordable yet feature-packed desk

A picture of a desk setup with an ultrawide monitor and a laptop docked in the Ugreen Steam Deck dock.

The X-Chair Standing Desk is a dual-motor, electric standing desk that’s not only highly customizable but is also very easy to put together. Available directly from X-Chair, this standing desk starts at under $500 and comes with a generous 10-year warranty. The X-Chair Standing Desk is also available in three different sizes to suit both large and small home offices.

Unlike other more complicated standing desks, assembling this one can be done in around 10 minutes with just the included Allen wrench. The X-Chair Standing Desk has a digital keypad with four programmable height presets but you will need to buy an optional cable management tray separately. I found the desk to be quite stable while seated but it did have a little give when raised up to a standing position. Likewise, its dual-motors can be quite loud while the desk is moving up and down.
