For the smart shopper who looks hard at a purchase before committing, here’s a comparison between the MojoDesk electric sit-to-stand desk and the Autonomous SmartDesk 2-Business Edition. (Note: The Smart Desk 2 - Business Edition version is no longer available on Autonomous site as of viewing Auguest, 2021. We will be updating our review to a newer model soon.)
All MojoDesk gaming desks and office desks are built with the end-user in mind. The health, comfort and productivity of the gamer or worker are priority in our approach to providing a quality, ergonomically friendly experience, whether at home or on the job.
As always, the real value is found in the details; the effort that goes into designing and manufacturing the best standing desk is just as important as the aesthetic appeal of the finished product.
So, let’s look at these two products.
All MojoDesk sit-to-stand desks have beveled front edges to deliver a smooth, safe work experience—wrist support for typing, with no chafing of the wrists and forearms. All desks are engineered and made by our team at our Denver factory.
Autonomous SmartDesk 2 edges are not beveled.

The MojoDesk adjustable height desk ranges from 24” to 49.8” to deliver comfort to users between 4’11” and 6’6” tall.
The range of the SmartDesk-Business Edition goes higher but also starts higher at the lowest setting - 26” to 52”—for users from about 5’3” to 6’6” tall.
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are compounds that emit from many consumer products and materials—and easily become vapors or gases. MojoDesk is UL Greenguard Certified from top-to-bottom for a VOC-free work environment, while Autonomous, the manufacturer of SmartDesk, makes no mention of Greenguard Certification nor any effort to reduce toxins in the workplace environment.
All MojoDesk sit-to-stand desks are built to ANSI Ergonomic Standards. In fact, a founder of Xybix, MojoDesk’s parent company, helped develop the ANSI-HFES standards used in today’s manufacturing. There is no mention of ergonomic standards compliance for any of the SmartDesk 2 adjustable desks.
The MojoDesk Tip Prevention Sensor comes standard with all standing desks. The sensor will instantly stop motion if any hazard is detected while the desk is moving. There is no such device on the SmartDesk 2.
MojoDesk offers a 60-day no-risk trial for every adjustable desk, and we pay for return shipping. SmartDesk offers a 30-day trial.
MojoDesk ships for free, while Autonomous charges $50 or more for shipping.
And finally, all MojoDesks come with a 5-year warranty, from bumper-to-bumper, so to speak.
The SmartDesk 2-Home Edition provides a one-year warranty, while the SmartDesk 2-Business Edition has a 7-year warranty on the frame only; the desktop warranty for the Business Edition standing desk is for one year.
Note: All information is directly from the Autonomous website as of 10/1/2019.
It all comes down to the reviews, right? You can find MojoDesk reviews on YouTube, and we’re top-ranked among standing desk review sites found through a quick Google search.
So, do the homework: research the facts and examine the details. You’ll find the superior value and quality of the MojoDesk makes it the best standing desk on the market. And it's built in the U.S., in beautiful Denver, Colorado.
Additionally, if a standing desk is not in your budget, we also offer a 48" W x 24" D and 60"W x 24"D fixed-height desk/table in 8 styles starting at $399 and free shipping. It is built on a rock-solid steel frame.
