Use for
The rules
  • Programming: An electric standing desk at least 48 inches wide: room for two 27-inch screens side by side, and sitting or standing at the press of a button. A desk narrower than 48 inches, or one lifted by a hand crank or a pneumatic pedal, does not qualify; the lift and the width have to be stated.
  • Standing: Sold as a standing, sit-stand or height adjustable desk, or with an electric, crank or pneumatic lift stated. A desk that does not say so is not judged.
  • Two monitors: A stated width of 48 inches or more, the width of two 27-inch screens side by side. A narrower stated width does not qualify; a desk that does not state its width is not judged.
  • Gaming: The title sells it as a gaming or esports desk. A title that does not say so is not judged.
  • L-shaped: The title says L-shaped or L desk. A corner desk that does not say L is not judged.
  • A desk whose listing does not state what a rule needs is not counted as meeting it. Ticking two uses shows desks that meet both.

Best desks for programming

A desk for long coding days has two jobs: let you change between sitting and standing without stopping work, and hold the screens you read code on. The Programming rule asks for an electric lift and at least 48 inches of width.

34 desks of the 140 in this table meet the Programming rule printed beside the filter, from $78.90 to $1,349.00 at the last price check. 55 desks do not state enough to judge and are never counted as meeting it.

Lift: electric, crank or pneumatic

OSHA's computer workstations guide to desks recommends height-adjustable desks. An electric desk moves on a button, some with memory presets for a sitting and a standing height; a crank desk moves as you turn a handle; a pneumatic desk rises on a gas spring when you press a pedal or lever.

In this table: 46 electric desks and 4 crank or pneumatic desks by stated lift, 7 desks with two motors or more stated. 90 desks do not state a lift.

Width for two monitors

A 27-inch 16:9 screen's picture is about 23.5 inches wide, so two side by side need about 47 inches before their bezels: 48 inches is the width this page asks for. Depth matters too: OSHA says the desk should let you put the monitor directly in front of you, at least 20 inches away.

Stated widths in this table run from 26 to 83 inches; 76 desks are 48 inches or wider. 14 desks do not state a width.

Load capacity

Two monitors on arms, a laptop, a desktop tower on a shelf and your forearms all rest on the top, so a stated load capacity is worth reading against what you will put on it. 50 desks in this table state a load capacity, up to 900 lb.

Standing desks

A standing desk is any desk whose top moves between sitting and standing height, whatever lifts it. Small rolling and pneumatic models fit a laptop beside a sofa or a walking pad; full electric desks carry a whole workstation.

59 desks of the 140 in this table meet the Standing rule printed beside the filter, from $44.99 to $1,349.00 at the last price check. 81 desks do not state enough to judge and are never counted as meeting it.

59 desks in this table are sold as standing or height adjustable, or state a lift.

Desks for two monitors

Two screens side by side need width more than anything else: the rule is a stated width of 48 inches or more, any lift or none. OSHA adds that a corner rather than a straight run of desk may give more space and depth for large monitors or several items.

76 desks of the 140 in this table meet the Two monitors rule printed beside the filter, from $52.98 to $1,349.00 at the last price check. 14 desks do not state enough to judge and are never counted as meeting it.

Gaming desks

Gaming desks are sold for a gaming setup, often with a monitor shelf, cup and headphone hooks or LED lights. They are desks like any other: width and lift decide whether one suits a coding day too.

64 desks of the 140 in this table meet the Gaming rule printed beside the filter, from $30.59 to $619.09 at the last price check. 76 desks do not state enough to judge and are never counted as meeting it.

L-shaped desks

An L-shaped desk turns a corner, so the screens can sit on one side and a laptop, notes or a second machine on the other. 28 desks in this table say L-shaped.

28 desks of the 140 in this table meet the L-shaped rule printed beside the filter, from $53.99 to $1,349.00 at the last price check. 112 desks do not state enough to judge and are never counted as meeting it.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

What size desk do I need for two monitors?

Two 27-inch 16:9 screens are about 47 inches wide side by side before their bezels, so look for 48 inches or more. 76 desks in this table state that width or more.

Is a standing desk worth it for programmers?

OSHA recommends height-adjustable desks; an electric desk changes height on a button, so you can switch during the day without stopping work. 46 desks here state an electric lift. Source: OSHA's computer workstations guide to desks

Electric, crank or pneumatic standing desk?

Electric moves on a button, and some store preset heights; crank moves as you turn a handle; pneumatic rises on a gas spring. This table has 46 electric desks and 4 crank or pneumatic desks by stated lift.

How far should the monitor be from me on the desk?

OSHA says the desk should let you place the monitor directly in front of you, at least 20 inches away. Source: OSHA's computer workstations guide to desks

Is an L-shaped desk good for a home office?

It gives a second surface around the corner, and OSHA notes a corner may give more space and depth for large monitors or several items. 28 desks here say L-shaped. Source: OSHA's computer workstations guide to desks

How this page is built

Prices come from the stores Argusic tracks. An Amazon price counts when it was read in the last 24 hours, another store's price when it was read in the last 48 hours, because those feeds arrive once a day. Each price shows the store and the time it was read. Desks priced under $30 are not listed. 140 desks are listed now.

Specs are what each seller states on its listing; Argusic has not tested these desks hands-on. The Use for rules are Argusic's and printed beside the filter, and a desk whose listing does not state what a rule needs is never counted as meeting it.

The default order, Recommended, puts a middle price band first, then the bands on either side, then the rest; within each band popular models come first and brands take turns. The Top picks block shows one model per brand. The order is an editorial default, not a quality ranking, and commissions never change the order or any number.
