Any standing desk feels solid at 28 inches, but how much does your webcam shake when you type at 45 inches? We tested 6 dual-motor frames under a 140-lb load.
Three-stage inverted leg columns with a recessed steel crossbar and integrated under-desk cable tray offered the best stability-to-price ratio.

Three-Stage vs. Two-Stage Lifting Columns
Three-stage legs have three telescoping steel segments instead of two. Not only does this allow the desk to drop lower for ergonomic seated typing (24.5 inches), it also increases the overlap between tube segments when raised, drastically reducing lateral sway.
