Best Standing Desk for Work From Home – Top 6 Picks
Work From Home Deserves a Proper Desk
India's hybrid work model is here to stay. If you spend 6-8 hours daily at a desk, that desk should support your posture, productivity, and wellbeing. A height adjustable table lets you alternate between sitting and standing, reducing back pain and keeping your energy up through afternoon slumps. Here are the best Green Soul options for home offices.
Best Overall WFH Desk: Imperium — ₹15,090
The Imperium wins for WFH because of its four colour options — Oak, Oak White, White, and Black. Your home office should look good. The electric motor, digital screen, and three memory presets handle the ergonomics. At ₹15,090, it sits in the sweet spot of price and features.
Best Value: Imperium Neo — ₹12,990
If you want the lowest entry price for an electric standing desk, the Neo delivers the core features — motor lift, digital screen, memory presets, and Type-C charging — at ₹12,990.
Best for Small Apartments: Imperium Pro 4ft — ₹19,990
The 4ft footprint fits in corner nooks, bedroom alcoves, and studio apartments. The thicker 18mm top and memory presets give you a premium feel in a compact package.
Best Mid-Range: Surface 2.0 — ₹22,990
The Surface 2.0 includes a digital screen, three memory presets, and a sedentary alarm. It is a solid all-round performer for professionals who want reliability and clean design.
Best Budget: Rise 4ft Manual — ₹13,990
If your WFH desk is in a guest room or secondary workspace where you adjust height less frequently, the Rise Manual keeps costs low while providing the core sit-stand benefit.

WFH Ergonomic Setup Tips
🏠 Work From Home Desk Tips
- Position near natural light: Place your desk perpendicular to a window to avoid screen glare while getting daylight
- Dedicated space: Even a corner counts. A dedicated desk signals 'work mode' to your brain.
- Video call ready: Check your background at both sitting and standing heights before important calls
- Noise consideration: Green Soul motors are ~45-50dB. No disruption to family or housemates.
- Use the sedentary alarm: WFH blurs breaks. Let the desk remind you to stand every 45 minutes.
