It's also one of the simplest ways to get yourself a standing desk; it requires no setup and doesn't impact the desktop you place it on. The VariDesk Pro Plus comes ready to roll straight out of the box. All you need to do is put it on top of your current desk, and you're good to go. You'll need some strength to get it there as this thing is not light. That's the biggest strength of the best gaming desks overall, which makes them an ideal choice to house some of the best gaming monitors, the best gaming PCs, and even consoles such as the Xbox Series X, PS5, and Nintendo Switch on top comfortably. There are usually cable grommets include to route wires through the base and an ergonomic shape which means they go hand in hand with one of the best gaming chairs. And they're great for working from home, too, even rivaling some of the best office desks, too. This is the thing: the Secretlab Magnus Pro XL requires some added expense to make it as sleek an experience as it should be.

The Mojo Gamer Pro is about as heavy-duty as gaming desks get. That's because it utilizes its durable tank-like nature to be able to take on 300lbs (165kg) which is far more than many other models in our list. Combine this feat with great cable management and extras you won't in other models and this is solid all around.

And it will do it all at a reasonable price. You may not want to replace your office furniture completely—or even be able to if it's not yours—which makes a converter, such as VariDesk's Pro Plus range, a great option. The Pro Plus is available in different sizes, can sit atop most desktops, and immediately allows you to switch from sitting to standing. Design and features: The big selling point of the ChopValue X Fnatic Revive Pro is that it's made of recycled woods which mean that every tabletop is different. You can get a sizable amount of it customized as text and images can be etched into the wood, too. As a gaming desk, you've got a motorized lift and rise feature, along with pre-installed cable grommets, too.Priced between our budget option and some of the best gaming desk flagships here, the Eureka Ergonomic gaming desk is the perfect balance for those wanting a larger-than-average model brimming with features that don't break the bank too badly. The only downside to the whole desk is that there are no sensors to stop the motor if it hits an obstacle when it's going down, which could be expensive if your chair gets caught under it—or upsetting if it's your cat. Overall, an impressive desk for sitting and standing, for really not much cash. If you love logging long hours of gameplay but don’t relish the idea of sitting for extended periods, investing in a standing desk could be your happy medium. The health benefits of standing desks are numerous, ranging from avoiding aches and pains by improving posture to lessening the risks of heart disease that are associated with a sedentary lifestyle. The desk itself is not that easy to build, however. The individual legs are super heavy, and the metal 'chassis' isn't much better. You'll need a hand making it, or maybe an engine winch. And yet, the SmartDesk Core manages to match the Stance at every level, only without the premium price tag. Sure, there's no collision detection on the medium model like the cheaper Flexispot EN1B has, but I'd certainly pay the asking price for a gorgeous premium standing desk.

The Secretlab Magnus Pro XL takes everything that worked with the original model and innovates upon it in new and impressive ways. Boasting a new sit-to-stand feature, an increased tabletop size, and even a power delivery column, if money is no object then this is the definitive high-end gaming desk to beat.If you're someone who works in a more cramped environment or wants to better optimize corner space then the Eureka EGD 60 could be ideal for you. With its competitive price point, quality construction, and a suite of features, this is one gaming desk you won't want to miss out on if unconventional is the name of the game. There are a good few options to mix and match the worktop and desk frame, though the UK options are a little more limited. For those of you who like to use multiple screens when gaming, Arozzi’s Arena is going to be the way to go. Wide enough to hold a three-monitor setup, this desk gives you plenty of room for all of your equipment. The ultrawide surface is completely covered with an interchangeable microfibre mousepad, allowing for the largest possible range of mouse movement. The mousepad surface is also water-resistant, so any spills will be easy to wipe away.

When working from home a standing desk is a seriously useful piece of kit. Not only can you use it to help give your day some variety with the sitting and then the aforementioned standing, but they also provide options in other ways. Changing the height can make it easier to fit storage like draws, or even perhaps your weirdly huge tower PC, underneath your desk. I've been sold on the standing desk life for a while now, and a carbon negative one like what the Fnatic x ChopValue(opens in new tab)Collaboration is definitely worth giving a look to. The one accessory I really do think is worth investing in is the dual monitor arm. It's a single unit that clamps firmly onto the desk, between the hinged cover and the desk itself, and it offers sprawling reach for both the 28-inch and 32-inch monitors I've got in right now. You want easy height adjustment: The Arozzi Arena can be height adjusted, albeit manually, so you may want to look for an alternative if motorized is more your speed. It took me an hour to put together by myself, and the instructions weren't worded all that well—asking me to simply get it in the "proper position"—and the illustrations didn't help at all, so I had to really pause to think about which holes went where. The alignment wasn't as accurate as I would have liked either, but despite some of the screws having gone in at a slight angle it's now finally together and stands mightily in my spare room.But specific gaming desks can be helpful in that they may have cable routing for your peripherals and power leads and may even have an entire mouse mat surface across it.RGB on a gaming desk? Now, that's probably not worth it. Do I need a sitting/standing desk? Design and Features: Unlike some gaming desks which attempt to optimize the space you're in, the Eureka Ergonomic proudly wants to fill up as much as possible by spreading in front of you and to the left and right. It's an encompassing experience, and it means you have room around you to store what you will. The Flexispot supports heights from 71cm (27.8in) up to 121cm (47.6in), which should have you covered for all comfortable sitting and standing setups. The control panel can hold three different height profiles in its memory banks and moves smoothly between them. Or you can set your height manually, with the current level shown on the three-digit display. It's classic Lian Li, too, by which I mean my fingers were striped with bloody slices once the chassis-on-legs were built. There were also some misaligned screw holes on my review sample, though that has not impacted its impressive solidity. In the end, even with a couple of monitors mounted directly on the desktop, it's a robust desktop, even at its full height.
