The 10 Best Lecterns

The Balt 27508 Mobile (about $217) is packed with features that make it the ideal choice for most speakers. It has two interior storage shelves to hold presentation materials or sound equipment, and a pull-out keyboard platform that allows you to keep the top area clutter free.

The Stand Up Desk Store Mobile (appx. $149) is a relatively basic model that includes just enough features to make it a top pick, yet is still lightweight and easy to move about. The height is adjustable to suit any presenter, allowing for good posture while speaking.

If you need an all-in-one solution, the Oklahoma Sound Orator (around $584) fits the bill. It is pricey, but considering it comes with an integrated amplifier, four 6-inch speakers, a small storage shelf, a lamp, and two microphones, it is worth every penny.

The Displays2Go LCTTAC (around $338) has a very modern style, with its curving tubular design, that makes it a great choice for on-stage presentations at political rallies, car and boat shows, and other non-educational settings. A one-inch lip keeps documents in place as you speak.

The Audio-Visual Direct Wheeled (around $100) can be purchased with either a black or silver frame, and beech or cherry wood accents to match a variety of different presentation settings. Since the front panel is metal, you can affix signs to it using magnets.

The Stand Steady Multifunctional (about $190) can just as easily be used as a standing desk as a lectern, making it a versatile option. At only 27 pounds, it is extremely lightweight, and it has a streamlined look that is well-suited to smaller spaces.

The Norwood Commercial Cherry (appx. $147) is made from particle board that has been laminated with a stain- and scratch-resistant coating to ensure it stays looking nice for years to come. It offers more shelf space than most other options.

The 1Home Furnit Adjustable Workstation (appx. $103) is a compact option that requires minimal storage space when not in use. It features a marker slot, so you never have to worry about one rolling away right when you need it, and a cup holder.

The AdirOffice Acrylic (about $326) is available completely clear or in a see-through black, both of which have a very sleek, contemporary feel. Despite being lightweight, it is ridiculously strong and scratch- and shatter-resistant. Rubber feet ensure it won't damage floors.

The minimalistic and affordable Oklahoma Sound Portable (around $62) is a smart option for schools that need to outfit a lot of classrooms while keeping to a very tight budget. It features a 16-inch x 20-inch reading surface and a 14-inch height adjustment range.
