Interested in getting out of that uncomfortable office chair for a few hours a day? It’s no surprise that standing desks have become more popular over the last five years, specifically due to the increasing number of jobs that are putting people in front of a computer eight hours a day.

Unfortunately, buying a standing desk (especially one with mechanical adjustable options) can be very expensive. Some of the most popular standing desks start around $500 and range all the way up to $5,000 for models with advanced electronics.

Of course, who wants to spend all that money just to stand up? We certainly don’t. Here are some of our favorite standing desk options that won’t cost you more than a couple Benjamins.

The StandDesk 2200 ($22)

Developed by an awesome IKEA hacker, the StandDesk 2200 is basically a super-cheap standing desk option that requires a little work to build. Designed to sit on an existing desk, this build requires a side table, shelf, brackets and some screws to create. The concept is also very easy to expand upon if you want to add additional monitors.

The downside to using this design is that portability is terrible. It also takes up a significant amount of space in your office, assuming you are switching between sitting and standing on a regular basis. Of course, the cost savings are fairly tremendous when compared to other options. It’s a cheap way to see if you like standing at your desk.

The Oristand ($39 shipped)

Created by the CEO of Hootsuite, the Oristand is a foldable standing desk that’s built out of industrial-grade cardboard. Ideal for either laptop or desktop users, the Oristand can accommodate a monitor or laptop on the top platform with a keyboard / mouse on the bottom.

Of course, you will need to have an existing flat surface to setup the desk. While definitely portable, it’s not ideal for public areas like a coffee shop, mainly due to the large size of the desk taking up a significant amount of space. It would be ideal for an office though, easy to setup or take down when you want to stand.

The StandStand ($75)

Small enough to slide into a laptop bag, the StandStand is the ultimate standing desk for someone that requires extreme portability. Opposite from the Oristand, this product would be perfect for public places (assuming you exclusively use a laptop). Made out of birch wood, the pieces can be easily assembled in less than a minute.

The downside to the StandStand is that you will be looking down at your laptop screen instead of straight ahead like other standing desk options. In addition, there’s no space for an additional mouse or other accessories (only room for a laptop).

The ReadyDesk ($169)

If you don’t want to give up your dual monitor setup, consider the ReadyDesk. Ideal for anyone that’s still on a desktop, the ReadyDesk can accommodate two 27-inch monitors or a monitor / laptop combo. This desk is particularly ideal for anyone that shares a workspace as the height adjustment options work for for anyone between 5’3″ and 6’3″. T

Of course, this isn’t a portable solution for the majority of users. Once the ReadyDesk is setup, it’s likely going to remain there. That being said, users could always shift their monitors down to the secondary platform and their keyboard / mouse to the desk if they wanted to transition to sitting.

The Chairigami ($95 to $165)

If you are into eco-friendly furniture, then check out the Chairigami desk. Starting at $95 for the Kickstarter model (42″) and ranging up to $165 for a larger size (seen above), the Chairigami may be an interesting option for anyone in need of a full-size, temporary desk; perhaps ideal for a college student living off-campus.

The downside to Chairigami products is how long they actually last. Chairigami estimates that a desk will have a two to three year life before it needs to be replaced. Of course, you may be over the whole standing desk fad by then. The desk can be recycled easily after it’s worn out.

The StorkStand ($99 to $199)

Removing the need for any actual desk, the StorkStand is an option for laptop users that lets you use a simple office chair as your desk. Supporting up to 50 pounds, the StorkStand creates a platform for your laptop on the top of a office chair using a metal brace and a Velcro strap.

While ideal for impromptu meetings with limited conference room table space, the downside to this design is that your platform will likely move with the chair; thus it’s only as stable at the office chair. In addition, some office chairs with low backs may not work well at all with this design.

6 Unique Standing Desks That are Less Than $200

I know what you’re thinking: all-in-one desktops?? LOL, wut? OK, it’s kind of funny. PC manufacturers are finding it increasingly more difficult to convince consumers to buy desktop computers in a sea of sleek, shiny and svelte laptops, tablets and smartphones. And those devices are great if you need a Mini Cooper. But all-in-one desktops are the Lincoln Navigators of the computer world — if you want some power, size, configurability and ability to block other people’s view (not that, really), the all-in-one (AIO) desktop is the best choice.

Actually, want to know what’s funny? Tower desktops. Now that’s really 1995 (apologies to gamers). Now on to our list of six favorite all-in-one desktops:

Buy This Gift to Out-Santa Old St. Nick: 27-inch iMac with Retina 5K display

The Apple iMac is one of the finest consumer desktops on the market. Originally redesigned in 2012, the iMac is a triumph of form and function, a smooth, skinny slice of aluminum that is as thin as 5mm around the edges and boasts an incredibly bright, colorful and low-glare display and surprisingly good sound. The 2015 line of iMacs (21.5-inch and 27-inch sizes) has been updated with 6th-generation Intel Skylake processors, 8GB of RAM, 1TB hard drives and three choices of display resolution: 1080p, 4K and 5K.

MSRP: 5K starts at $1,799  | Lowest Price on Ben’s: n/a

Buy This Gift If They Flee at the Sound of “Apple”: Dell XPS 27 Touch

The Dell XPS 27 Touch 27-inch All-in-One Desktop is the Windows answer to the 2013 / 2014 iMac. Taking design cues from Apple , the XPS 27 has a glass covered, high-resolution (2,560 x 1,440) display, Thunderbolt port and aluminum construction. Well, aluminum construction with a plastic backside (oops). With the dual-hinge articulating arm, the screen can be flipped up at an angle so you can peck at the touchscreen goodness of Windows 10.

MSRP: starts at $1,699  | Lowest Price on Ben’s: $1,005

Buy This Gift If They Love the Curve: LG 29″ Curved All-In-One

Taking a cue from the curved television trend, both Samsung and LG have jumped into the all-in-one game with curved models. We choose the LG model out of the two because it includes a NVIDIA GeForce 840M graphics card with 2GB memory, the resolution of the monitor is higher and it includes Intel’s 5th generation i7 processor. It’s also a stunning design, reminiscent of the Apple iMac in some respects.

Buy This Gift for the Master Chef: HP Slate 21 Pro

The HP Slate 21 Pro Android 21-inch Touchscreen All-in-One has a very singular purpose: as an secondary screen for rooms like the kitchen, bedroom or bathroom. It’s not your first computer or your second computer. Don’t even think of it as a computer. It’s an appliance in your kitchen that happens to be a computer. Running Android 4.3 on a Tegra quad-core processor, it’s kind of a kooky smartphone blown up to a 21-inch form factor. Cool.

MSRP: $379  | Lowest Price on Ben’s: $216

Buy This Gift for the 24-Hour Party Person: Lenovo Horizon 2

This so-called “table” desktop gets extra credit because you can play air hockey on it. That’s right, you can purchase two air strikers (and two joysticks) for an additional $30 to use on the screen. The Lenovo Horizon 2 27-inch All-in-One Table PC is a fascinating hybrid of an all-in-one desktop with a touchscreen tablet. It can lie flat like a tablet and, with its internal battery, can even be used “portably.” Scare quotes because, well, it still weighs 15+ pounds. Hardly iPad territory. But can you play air hockey like this on an iPad?

MSRP: starts at $1,549  | Lowest Price on Ben’s: $1,400

Buy This for the Terminally Hip: Dell XPS 18 Touch Portable

Not a Mac, you say? Eh, Apple’s too big and hasn’t innovated in years. The Dell XPS 18 Touch Portable All-in-One Desktop is the ultimate in hipsterism: it’s retro (a desktop), it’s chic (think skinny jeans) and it’s ironic (not Apple). You just won’t find it at a thrift shop.

If the Lenovo Horizon Table PC is too ginormous for your taste, the XPS 18 aims for a more sensible hybrid between the tablet and desktop with a super skinny 0.41-inch thickness—not much thicker than an iPad 4—and a weight of just 5.2 pounds. It features a built-in kickstand but you can buy an optional stand to make it look more like a traditional all-in-one.

MSRP: starts at $899  | Lowest Price on Ben’s: $600
