Excellent Back-To-Front Stability.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most standing desks in Australia are surprisingly stable. As long as you <a href=\"https:\/\/arielle.com.au\/officeworks-otto-newhaven-standing-desk-review\/\">don&#8217;t buy yours from Officeworks<\/a>, or something for under $300 on Amazon, you&#8217;ll be fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A 100% wobble-free standing desk is a myth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even my UpDown Pro and Desky Dual sway a decent amount when extended to typical standing (~100-105cm) height. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Push them to their limits (about 120cm), and they sway like trees in the wind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This happens because telescopic legs must have tiny gaps between sections to enable movement. But as the desk rises, the distance between points of contact inside the column changes &#8211; which you experience as wobble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most people don&#8217;t realise that &#8220;stability&#8221; can mean two things &#8211; back-to-front and side-to-side. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a lot of equipment on your desktop, this is the part you need to pay close attention to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"arrow-wrapper\"><div class=\"arrow-list\"><ul><li><strong>Side-to-side wobble <\/strong>is annoying &#8211; and is often a great measure of the desk&#8217;s overall build quality &#8211; but harmless.<\/li><li><strong>Back-to-front wobble<\/strong>, however, is dangerous &#8211; because it is likely to throw your monitor(s) off the desktop.

Unfortunately that&#8217;s easier said than done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most standing desks will offer a complimentary (or cheap) cable tray. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s much better than leaving all your cables hanging under the desk, but isn&#8217;t very useful if you tend to add or remove cables often. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As soon as you have to unplug one, you&#8217;ll need to spend 15 minutes under your desk with a flashlight, banging your head on things, unplugging everything &#8211; just to get to the powerplug you need. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"indent-wrapper\"><div class=\"indented-text\"><span>And then you&#8217;ll have to repeat the process again.<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Integrated power boards solve this problem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, they&#8217;re not cheap (expect to pay $150-250, depending on whether you choose 4 or 8 sockets), but they&#8217;ll save you a lifetime of frustration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to get really advanced, choose a desk with a power socket at the bottom of its leg. At this stage, only <a href=\"https:\/\/arielle.com.au\/stando-pulse-standing-desk-review\/\">Stando Pulse<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/arielle.com.au\/secretlab-magnus-pro-standing-desk-review\/\">Secretlab Magnus<\/a> offer this feature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This removes the need to run an ugly power cable up the desk leg, or buy a bulky cable spine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3.
