Height-Adjustable Desks

According to the American Journal of Public Health, sitting is not the new smoking. But, if you sit more than 8 hours a day, the risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease increases by around 10-20 percent. To minimize the body’s damage from sitting, consider height-adjustable desks.

Additionally, height-adjustable desks that can move from sitting to standing heights promote a range of health benefits when you work on your computer all day. By standing and sitting alternatively throughout the day, the best height-adjustable desks encourage taking breaks, using your legs to get your blood moving and staying active in general.

These productivity stations make a difference to your overall health. So if you spend most of your professional life seated at an office desk, consider getting one.

Height Adjustable Desks for Social Distancing

In a post-COVID world, we want to keep some separation between ourselves and our coworkers. When we need to share information on our computers, a height-adjustable desk is preferable to them kneeling or looking over our shoulders. Therefore, just adjust the desk to standing height, and everyone can co-mingle safely to look at the screen.

While height-adjustable standing desks might seem like one category of workspaces, there are many decisions to make depending on the user’s needs. Many brands offer height-adjustable workstations, but the differences and advantages of each are usually unknown to most buyers. Items to consider include:

Should the adjustments be manual, pneumatic, or motorized?
Will the desk stand-alone or be part of a cluster?
Will it mount to a wall or self-standing?
What finish and top should it have to match the other details of the office?
Does the workstation need any storage, privacy panels, or accessories?
How will the electrical and IT wires run?
And many more decisions.
