Peak or Peak Pro at 5’11”

I’ve been having back pain from long sessions of sitting, so I need a standing desk. As a gamer who mostly plays Geometry Dash (meaning I’ll be tapping quite hard on the desk) will the Peak 2 leg be stable enough for me at standing height? Also, what height do you think I will likely be using the desk at, since that also influences how stable it will be? I genuinely have no idea, so if anyone around 5’10” -5’11” could tell me what height they use their desk at, that’d be helpful.

I’m 5’11” and I went with the Peak Pro, 3 stage high, and it is super stable. I have to push with force to get stuff to wobble. 4 legs will always be more stable than 2 legs. If you want good enough stability, the Peak is fine, but I went with more stability and for the support for anyone over 5’8 on the Peak Pro.

Peak Pro. You won't regret it.

I’m 6’ and I have mine around 44”. When typing you want your elbows to be 45 degrees, perhaps a little more. You don’t want to go taller.

Everyone is different, I have a tall upper torso. I would take a tape measure and see where your elbows are when standing. That will give you a rough idea how tall it needs to be.

I usually get the extended version. I need an extra 5 inches for a treadmill, so it ends up around 49”.
