Best cheap desk

FLEXISPOT EN1 One-Piece

A laptop and one monitor for the least money.

Our pick: Best cheap desk. The FLEXISPOT EN1 One-Piece is a 48 x 24 in standing desk with one motor, adjusting from 28.9 to 46.5 inches, rated for 176 lb. It suits a laptop and one monitor for the least money. The catch: one motor and a two-stage frame: it wobbles more at full height than dual-motor desks, and the top tops out at 46.5 in, short for people over about 6 ft 2 in. Buyers find the instructions poor (200 negative mentions). The white 48 in EN1 listing failed our stability check; this one passed.

Frame and top in one box. Most budget desks use one motor and a two-stage frame, which is fine for a laptop and a monitor; heavier setups want dual motors.
