About Breaking Through

Updated on

Breaking Through is an independent buying-guide site for people who want a standing desk in a home office. We compare the options in plain words, so you can pick a desk that suits your room and your budget.

You don't need to know desk jargon to use it. We explain the terms that matter, like lift range, motor type, weight limit and desktop size, as we go.

What we cover

Our guides cover electric standing desks and the parts around them. That includes white, wood and executive desks, extra-wide desks for two monitors, bare frames, rolling desks and desktop converters.

We also write about setup and add-ons, like cable trays, monitor arms, keyboard trays, mats and chairs. New guides are added over time.

How we work

For every product we cover, we read the maker's details, specs and features. We also look at what buyers often say after using the product.

Then we turn that research into guides, side-by-side comparisons and clear picks. Our How we research page explains each step.

What we don't do

We don't make or sell standing desks, and no brand pays us for a better spot in a guide.

We aren't linked to FlexiSpot, VIVO, Veken or any other maker. Their names appear only because shoppers search for them.

We don't claim to have tested every desk. When we pick a product, we tell you why, based on its specs, its features and buyer feedback.

How we earn money

Some links on this site go to stores like Amazon. If you buy through one, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.

That never changes which products we pick. Our affiliate disclosure has the details.
