There are dozens of electric standing desks on sale in the UK, and the numbers that separate them are easy to miss: how many motors lift the frame, how low and how high it goes, how much weight it is rated to carry and how long the warranty runs. This guide compares desks from five brands sold in the UK, using only what each brand or listing publishes. We have not used these desks ourselves, so every figure below comes from the manufacturer's UK site or the Amazon UK listing, and each one is linked in the sources at the end.

All prices were checked on 15 Nov 2026. Black Friday prices change fast, and several of these desks were on offer when we checked, so treat every price as a snapshot and check the live price before you buy.

If you are choosing between the two most searched brands, our FlexiSpot vs Fezibo comparison goes deeper on those desks, including delivery and the best picks for a small flat.

Comparison at a glance

How to read this table:

• "Frame only" means no desktop is included. FlexiSpot lets you add a top at checkout or fit your own within the size range shown, and its frame heights do not include the thickness of the top.
• "Not stated" means the brand page or listing did not give that figure when we checked. It does not mean the figure is poor, only that we could not confirm it.
• Where a brand's own page gives two different figures, we show the one from the specification table and say so in the product section.

Who should pick what

• Best all rounder: FlexiSpot E7. Dual motors, the highest dynamic load rating in this guide alongside its E7 siblings, a wide height range and a 10 year warranty.
• Best value dual motor frame: FlexiSpot E1. The cheapest dual motor option we found, if you are happy to supply or add a top.
• Cheapest complete desk: Fezibo 100 x 60cm. Around £85 with the top included, but with thinner published detail on motors and load. See our FlexiSpot vs Fezibo comparison for the full picture.
• Best for small spaces: FlexiSpot E7 Mini. Built for 80 to 100cm desktops, with the same frame specs as the full size E7.
• Best for taller users: Desktronic HomePro. It lists the highest top position in this guide at 128cm with a 2.5cm desktop.
• Best from a high street name: IKEA MITTZON. Dual motors, a 62 to 126cm range and a 10 year IKEA guarantee, if you would rather buy in store.
• Cheapest with a long warranty: IKEA TROTTEN. £199 with a top and a 10 year guarantee, but a single motor and a 50kg load rating.
• Best for cable tidiness: FlexiSpot E7 Pro. It adds a magnetic cable management panel and cable channels, and was on offer until 22 Nov.

FlexiSpot

FlexiSpot sells its frames through its own UK site, and some models also appear on Amazon UK. Every FlexiSpot desk in this guide uses two motors. Several were on Black Friday offers when we checked.

FlexiSpot E7

The E7 is FlexiSpot's best known frame. Its UK spec table lists:

• 2 motors, 160kg dynamic and 240kg static load
• 58 to 123cm height range (frame only)
• Fits desktops from 120 to 200cm long
• Memory presets, anti collision and a USB C port
• 42mm per second lift speed
• 10 year warranty

On 15 Nov 2026 the frame was £249.99, down from £419.99, and £329.98 configured with a 120 x 60cm top. It needs a top of at least 120cm, so for a narrower space look at the E7 Mini below.

FlexiSpot E7 Pro

The E7 Pro shares the E7's motors, load ratings, height range and 10 year warranty. What it adds, according to FlexiSpot, is a magnetic cable management panel and cable channels as standard. It was shown from £299.99 with a £180 offer running from 12 to 22 Nov 2026, against a usual price of £479.99. After the offer ends the gap between the E7 and the E7 Pro is likely to widen again.

FlexiSpot E7 Mini

The E7 Mini is the small space version of the E7. It keeps the dual motors, the 160kg dynamic and 240kg static load and the 58 to 123cm range, but takes desktops from 80 to 100cm long and 60 to 80cm deep. It also lists a position lock and a 20W USB C port. It was from £269.99 on 15 Nov 2026, down from £459.99, and had no customer reviews on the UK site yet. Our FlexiSpot vs Fezibo page covers it in more detail.

FlexiSpot E5

The E5 uses three stage legs, which is how it reaches its 60 to 125cm range. FlexiSpot lists 100kg dynamic and 130kg static load, a 30mm per second lift speed, and tops from 120 to 180cm long and 60 to 80cm deep. The frame was from £179.99 (was £299.99) on the brand site. Amazon UK also sells a version with a 140 x 80cm one piece top for £249.99, sold by FLEXISPOTUK. Note that the Amazon spec table lists both minimum and maximum height as 125cm, which looks like an error; the listing's bullet points give 60 to 125cm.

FlexiSpot E1

The E1 is FlexiSpot's entry point with two motors. It lists a 100kg load, a 70 to 119cm frame range, memory presets, anti collision and a touch LED panel, with a 5 year warranty. It fits tops from 120 to 180cm, or 100 to 160cm on the Gray and Mint Green versions. It was from £129.99 on 15 Nov 2026, down from £209.99.

Desktronic

Desktronic sells direct through its UK site and also lists the HomeOne on Amazon UK.

Desktronic HomeOne

The HomeOne is priced by desktop size: £259 for 120 x 60cm (was £329), £319 for 140 x 70cm and £359 for 160 x 80cm on the brand site. Desktronic lists two motors, a 120kg load and a 30mm per second lift speed, and the Amazon listing title mentions USB and USB C charging. The Amazon spec table gives a 70 to 119cm height range. On Amazon UK the 140 x 70cm version was £349.99, which is more than the £319 brand direct price on the same day, so compare both before buying.

On warranty, the brand says "up to 15 years", while the Amazon listing says "limited". We did not see the conditions behind the 15 year figure, so check what is covered before relying on it.

Desktronic HomePro

The HomePro is Desktronic's step up. It uses three stage legs and two motors, lists a 160kg lifting capacity, a 50mm per second lift speed and under 50dB noise. Its frame runs from 61 to 125.5cm, or 63.5 to 128cm with a 2.5cm top, the highest top position in this guide. It costs £349 for 120 x 60cm (was £449) and up to £549 for 200 x 80cm. The same "up to 15 years" warranty wording applies.

Yo-Yo Desk

Yo-Yo Desk sells through its own UK site. Its product pages gave us prices, sizes and motors, but we could not capture height ranges for either desk, so check those on the product page before you order.

Yo-Yo Desk UNO 1

• £367.95 for 100 x 60cm (was £467.95)
• Single motor
• 5 year warranty (stated on the brand homepage)
• Height range and load: Not stated on the page we checked

See the Yo-Yo Desk UNO 1

Yo-Yo Desk PRO 2

• £524.95 for 120 x 70cm (was £599.95)
• Two motors with saved height presets
• 100kg load
• 10 year warranty
• Height range: Not stated on the page we checked

See the Yo-Yo Desk PRO 2

Yo-Yo Desk was the most expensive brand here for a given size. A FlexiSpot E7 with a top lists a higher load rating and the same 10 year warranty for less.

IKEA

IKEA's sit/stand desks are sold through IKEA UK, not Amazon. Both carry IKEA's 10 year guarantee.

IKEA TROTTEN electric

TROTTEN is the cheapest electric desk here from a high street retailer: £199 for 120 x 70cm (ash effect and white) and £249 for 160 x 80cm (white) on 15 Nov 2026. It uses a single motor and IKEA lists a 50kg load, the lowest in this guide. IKEA's own page gives two height ranges: 71 to 118cm in the spec table and 69 to 116cm in the description. If you plan to load it with two monitors on arms and a desktop computer, add up the weights first.

See IKEA TROTTEN 120 x 70cm or TROTTEN 160 x 80cm

IKEA MITTZON electric

MITTZON is IKEA's dual motor option. It lists a 62 to 126cm range, an 80kg load and a hand control with 2 memory settings. The white 120 x 80cm version was £380 when checked, with oak veneer at £395, walnut 140 x 60cm at £395 and white 160 x 80cm at £400. IKEA's page lists the top as 120 x 68cm in the parts list and 120 x 80cm in the measurements, so confirm the depth if space is tight.

See IKEA MITTZON 120 x 80cm

Fezibo

Fezibo desks arrive complete with a top, which is why they look so cheap next to a FlexiSpot frame. The 100 x 60cm white desk was around £84.99 on Amazon UK on 15 Nov 2026, with a 72 to 118cm range and 3 memory presets. The listing does not state the number of motors or a load rating, and on the day we checked it was sold and shipped by a third party seller, YNV Supplies. Fezibo's UK warranty policy gives 2 years on the motor and electronics and 5 years on the other parts.

We cover three Fezibo desks, including a drawer desk and a keyboard tray desk, in our FlexiSpot vs Fezibo comparison.

FAQ

Are standing desks worth it?

That depends on your space, budget and how you work, so we compare what you can measure: price, size, motors, load and warranty. A dual motor frame with a long warranty, such as the FlexiSpot E7 at £249.99 for the frame, costs more up front but lists stronger specs than budget desks. If you are unsure, a cheaper complete desk such as the Fezibo or IKEA TROTTEN is a lower cost way to try one.

What is the best dual motor standing desk in the UK?

On published specs, the FlexiSpot E7 series (E7, E7 Pro and E7 Mini) lists the highest dynamic load in this guide at 160kg, with a 10 year warranty. The Desktronic HomePro also has two motors and a 160kg lifting capacity. The cheapest dual motor frame we found was the FlexiSpot E1 from £129.99.

What is the best standing desk for a tall person?

Look at the top of the height range including the desktop. The Desktronic HomePro lists 128cm with a 2.5cm top. IKEA MITTZON lists 126cm, the FlexiSpot E5 125cm and the FlexiSpot E7 series 123cm before the top is added. FlexiSpot recommends the E7 Mini for users 150 to 190cm tall.

Which standing desk is best for two monitors?

Check the load rating and depth. Two monitors on arms plus a computer can add up quickly, so the E7 series (160kg dynamic) and HomePro (160kg lifting capacity) give the most headroom. TROTTEN is rated at 50kg, the lowest here. A 70 or 80cm deep top gives more viewing distance than a 60cm one.

Is Yo-Yo Desk any good?

We have not used it, so we can only compare the published specs. The PRO 2 lists two motors, a 100kg load and a 10 year warranty at £524.95 for 120 x 70cm. The UNO 1 has a single motor and a 5 year warranty at £367.95 for 100 x 60cm. Neither page we checked stated a height range.

Do you cover L shaped or corner standing desks?

Not yet. None of the corner desks we found had UK prices and specs we could confirm on 15 Nov 2026, so we left them out rather than guess. FlexiSpot frames that take 200cm tops (the E7 and E7 Pro) are the widest single desks in this guide.

Will these Black Friday prices last?

Probably not. FlexiSpot was running Black Friday offers when we checked, including £180 off the E7 Pro from 12 to 22 Nov, and Desktronic and Yo-Yo Desk both showed reduced prices. Prices change fast at this time of year, so always check the live price.
