Our WobbleMeter stability tests feature the new HiHAT height adjustable base.
WobbleMeter Testing
Our stability tests using the WobbleMeter measures the wobble of a standing desk.
Using the same methods against the same scale for a variety of desks, we compare results from a variety of standing desks manufacturers.
We share our results on the Scoreboard page. Similar to golf, the lower the score, the better.
Smaller totals mean there isn’t much wobble in the standing desk.

Test Results
Here are our results of the HiHAT, starting with the True Wobble Test.
Special Note: RA Answers tests only the relative wobble of a height adjustable desk. We display the results using a gauge with three color-coded ranges. These ranges show our opinion of what is an acceptable wobble. With nearly two decades of desk manufacturing behind us, we feel comfortable with expressing our opinion.
True Wobble Test
The True Wobble Test is a hands-on wobble test where we place 50-pounds on the desk to simulate the weight of a monitor, keyboard, and other accessories. Using a small amount of force, we move the desk slightly to see the amount of wobble illustrated by the WobbleMeter.
Directional Pulls
Here are our results for the WobbleMeter directional pulls.
