In this Maidesite SC1 Pro standing desk review, I report back on my experience with this pro-level, electric standing desk, which is height adjustable. The benefits of a standing desk have been much lauded recently, with reports claiming that spending more time standing up can do wonders for your back, shoulders and neck health. Since working from home has become more mainstream, there's a wealth of desk options around, with a huge range of price points. There are sitting down desks (how quaint), desks you manually rise (with a lever) and motorised desks (like this one). Which one you go for depends on your preference – and your budget. 

I was already accustomed to bobbing up and down during my work day as I'd been using a standing desk converter for around a year already (one of those plastic trays you pop on top of your desk, if you didn't know). So honestly, I was a little skeptical about any benefits I could possibly gain from upgrading to a full standing desk. But I got one anyway, and put one to the test.
