This shortlist compares Desktronic HomeOne and HomePro, FlexiSpot E7, IKEA MITTZON electric 140 × 60 cm and Desktronic HomeMax. Each provides a different comparison point: entry configuration, wider adjustment, a conventional motorised frame, mainstream retail and a four-leg format. Published specifications can narrow the choice, but they do not establish a market-wide winner.
This is a researched buying guide, not a hands-on test. We have not independently measured stability, noise, speed, finish quality or long-term reliability. The header is a manufacturer-supplied promotional image from Desktronic’s Awin creative library. It depicts the HomePro desk family and is not evidence of hands-on testing.
Affiliate disclosure: Home Desk Lab has an affiliate relationship with Desktronic through Awin.

How we built the shortlist #
We used official UK pages available on 22 September 2026 and prioritised dimensions, published adjustment range, load limits and controls. We excluded claims that could not be tied to the exact UK model. Desktronic is prominent because its current range covers several configurations and Home Desk Lab has an affiliate relationship with the company; the same evidence standard applies to its desks and the other alternatives below.
Compare the shortlist #
| Desk | Published height range | Published maximum load | Top options | Why shortlist it? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HomeOne | 72.7–122 cm with a 2.5 cm top | Up to 120 kg | 120/140/160 cm wide; 60/70/80 cm deep | Entry point with dual motors, three presets and USB-A/USB-C |
| HomePro | 63.5–128 cm with a 2.5 cm top | Up to 160 kg | 120/140/160/180/200 cm wide; 60/70/80 cm deep | Wider adjustment and size range |
| FlexiSpot E7 | 58–123 cm | Up to 125 kg | Supports 120–200 cm wide; 60–80 cm deep | Conventional dual-motor frame with memory and child lock |
| IKEA MITTZON electric | — | — | 140 × 60 cm model | Mainstream-retail comparison |
| HomeMax | 74–119 cm | Up to 100 kg | Fixed 160 × 80 cm format | Four-leg frame and dual USB-C |
These are manufacturer specifications, not independent performance results. Maximum load does not tell you how a desk feels at a particular height, and a published height range does not guarantee a comfortable fit.
HomeOne: the practical starting point #
Desktronic lists a dual-motor frame, travel up to 30 mm/s, a maximum load of 120 kg and a stated noise level below 39 dB. The controller has three presets, USB-A and USB-C, plus anti-collision. Available top dimensions span 120/140/160 × 60/70/80 cm.
That makes HomeOne the first model to compare for a typical spare-room or bedroom office. Measure your equipment and room before choosing a top: a deeper desk can create useful monitor distance, while a wider one needs more clear wall and floor space.

HomePro: more range and configuration choice #
HomePro is the more flexible specification. Desktronic publishes a 63.5–128 cm height range with a 2.5 cm top, up to 160 kg load and travel up to 50 mm/s. Its top sizes extend to 180 and 200 cm wide, while the controller includes three presets, USB-A, USB-C and anti-collision.
Shortlist it when HomeOne’s minimum height, maximum height, top size or stated load is the limiting factor. Do not choose solely from the larger numbers: compare the exact configuration, total dimensions and current warranty and returns before ordering.

HomeMax: a four-leg comparison #
HomeMax uses four in-line motors and a fixed 160 × 80 cm format. Desktronic lists up to 32 mm/s travel, a 100 kg maximum load, 74–119 cm height range, touchscreen control, dual USB-C and selectable LED colours.
Its four-leg layout may appeal if that format is your priority, but the published height and load numbers are not automatically better than HomePro. It also sat outside this guide’s practical sub-£500 focus when checked, so we treat it as a premium comparison rather than the default pick.

Other alternatives #
FlexiSpot E7: a conventional motorised frame #
FlexiSpot publishes dual motors, a 58–123 cm height range, movement up to 38 mm/s and a 125 kg maximum load for the E7 frame. It supports tops from 120–200 cm wide and 60–80 cm deep, with memory control, anti-collision and a child lock.
Compare the full basket carefully: the page describes frame-series specifications, so confirm whether your selected configuration includes a tabletop and which dimensions apply.
IKEA MITTZON: a mainstream-retail comparison #
IKEA’s UK standing-desk category listed an electric MITTZON in a 140 × 60 cm format. IKEA describes its electric desks as raising and lowering by button. That makes it a useful comparison if seeing a familiar retail range or choosing this particular footprint matters to you.
Confirm the exact product page, configuration and current terms before ordering.

Five checks before ordering #
- Working height: compare the stated range with your seated and standing elbow height. Include the top thickness and any keyboard tray.
- Room and top size: mark the full width and depth on the floor. Leave space for movement, cables and nearby doors.
- Equipment load: include the top, monitors, arms, computer and accessories. Keep within the maker’s instructions rather than treating the maximum as a target.
- Cable travel: allow enough slack for the highest position and keep cables clear of moving parts.
- Current terms: confirm the selected colour and dimensions, final GBP price, delivery, warranty and returns on the live UK page.
Which one should you choose? #
Compare HomeOne for its entry configuration and HomePro when its lower minimum, higher maximum, larger tops or greater stated load solve a measured requirement. Add FlexiSpot E7 when you want to price a conventional frame configuration, and MITTZON when its 140 × 60 cm retail format is appealing. Consider HomeMax only when you specifically want its four-leg format and its current total cost fits your budget.
Pair the desk with a chair that fits you rather than assuming standing replaces sitting. Our UK ergonomic chairs under £500 guide uses the same manufacturer-evidence approach.
