The Bonita ET Standing Desk Feels Sturdy at Every Height
If you’re shopping for a standing desk you’ll work at every day, here’s what mine has been like for six years and what to know before you order one.
The short answer
Buy the Bonita ET, for around $1,000, if you want a standing desk with a crossbar bracing the legs, so it stays solid when it’s up. Get the 30 x 60, which is 30 inches deep like mine, with room for two monitors and a laptop.

Mine has been in a corner of our den since 2020, a Bonita ET with a straight 48 x 30 top. Two monitors and an open laptop fit on it pretty nicely for a work setup, with room for my personal laptop off to the side if I need it. When I’m in a meeting, I usually raise it and stand up, and I do the same for routine work when I just want to move around.
I just have the basic switch, and the motor is pretty quiet, nothing to complain about. It comes down to a normal desk height, which I find more comfortable when I’m sitting. I like the depth and the simplicity, and six years in, nothing about it has really bugged me.

Does a straight standing desk work in a corner?
Yes, and I think a straight one is the easier desk to buy for a corner.
You can order either stock size online, with no quote and no back-and-forth with a dealer.
And if you move it to another wall one day, it still fits.
How high does it go, and how do you raise it?
It runs from 27 to 47 inches before you add the top, low enough to sit at and high enough to stand.
If you’d rather skip the buttons, there’s a Bluetooth app for your phone and voice assistant support too.
It also stops on its own if it bumps into something on the way, and it won’t try to lift more than it’s rated for. That’s nice peace of mind on a desk that goes up and down as often as mine does.
Who makes the Bonita ET?
RightAngle Products, an independent furniture manufacturer in the US. NewHeights is one of its brands.
That’s why you’ll see the desk listed as the NewHeights Bonita ET, or just the Bonita, depending on the seller.
Can you get the Bonita ET as a corner desk?
You can, through a RightAngle dealer. Pick one of two corner tops on two legs, or one of six L-shapes on three.
Those come out of twelve shapes in all for this base. The corner tops are Corner-Diagonal and Corner-Radius, and if you’ve got a lot to set on a big top, the L’s third leg is worth having.
How long is the warranty?
Ten years on the frame, and five on the rest.
The ten years covers the brackets, columns and feet. The five covers everything else, the laminate included.
If you’ll be raising yours every day, it’s good to know RightAngle ran a desk more than five times as far as the industry’s standard lift test asks.
Who should buy the Bonita ET?
Who it fits
Buy it if you want a standing desk that feels solid when it’s raised, and a straight top will do.
Skip it if you want to spend well under $1,000 on a standing desk. My FlexiSpot vs Uplift comparison is where I’d start instead.
Also worth it if you want a corner or L-shaped top on a powered base. The L-shapes even get a third leg for a heavier load.
What should you watch for when you order one?
The depth you pick, and how the warranty is worded.
The 24 x 60 costs less, and it’s 6 inches shallower than mine. If you want the depth, go with the 30 x 60.
RightAngle words the warranty two ways on its own pages, so it’s worth asking the dealer which version covers your order, in writing.
The safety approval is on the control box rather than the desk itself, and it’s against an older standard. The details are in the fine print.
Mine’s still going strong in the den.
The fine print
The ETL approval is on the control box. The control box is made by Laing Innotech, and Laing’s own manual gives it ETL Mark Approval against ANSI/UL 60950-1. RightAngle doesn’t publish a listing for the desk itself.
That standard has been replaced. UL 60950-1 was withdrawn in December 2020 and replaced by UL 62368-1, so ask RightAngle or your dealer for the current file number.
The warranty, both ways. One RightAngle line gives 10 years on brackets, columns and feet, 5 years on other components and 5 on the laminate. Another reads “Frame & components: 10 year warranty.” Those don’t cover the same parts, so go by the written version for your order.
The lift. One 24V DC Ketterer motor drives the base, the frame is welded, and RightAngle calls its collision detection GyroSense. Against the industry’s standard test of 4,000 up-and-down cycles, RightAngle’s test desk ran 21,375, more than five times as far.

Questions people ask
Does the Bonita ET come as a corner desk?
Yes. There are two corner tops, Corner-Diagonal and Corner-Radius, on the two-leg base, and six L-shapes on the three-leg base.
Does a straight Bonita ET work in a corner?
Yes. Mine’s a 48 x 30 rectangle, and I’ve used it in a corner since 2020.
Does it wobble when it’s raised?
Mine doesn’t. The crossbar between the legs keeps it steady.
How low and how high does it go?
From 27 to 47 inches before you add the top. That brings it down to a standard desk height for sitting and up high enough to stand.
How much will it lift?
250 lb on the two-leg base and 350 lb on the three-leg. Corner tops use two legs, so choose an L if you plan a heavy load.
Is it UL listed?
RightAngle doesn’t publish a listing. The manual from Laing Innotech, the company that makes its control box, shows an ETL approval against a UL standard. Ask for the current file number before you order.
Is it made by ESI or Fellowes?
No. NewHeights is a RightAngle Products brand, and RightAngle is an independent company.
How long will it last?
RightAngle ran a test desk through 21,375 up-and-down cycles, more than five times what the industry’s standard test asks. I’ve used mine for six years, and it still doesn’t wobble.
Where can I buy it?
NextGen Furniture sells the 24 x 60 and Global Industrial sells the 30 x 60. Both are rectangles. For a corner top, an L, or another size, ask a RightAngle dealer for a quote, and ask how long it’ll take to arrive.
