Height Adjustable Desks

Medical research has shown a number of health hazards connected with sedentary lifestyle, including obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure. We spent long hours at work or home sitting in front of our desks, putting pressure on our lower back, neck and shoulders. Studies have shown that alternating between sitting and standing prevents musculoskeletal discomfort. In addition, the ability to change positions throughout the day, has proven to increase productivity and motivation of employees. All the ergonomic products need to be user friendly, study and easy to adjust.

There is a good evidence to indicate that adjustable furniture that can support sit-stand working may be beneficial to the health, performance of office workers.

Adjustable height desks offer an incredible variety of working configurations that can be fitted specifically to each individual user’s shapes and sizes. No matter your height you can adjust the desk to your specific comfort levels. Adjustable height desks provide the user the choice to work from a standing or sitting posture, adjusting easily between the two positions. This is known as sit-to-stand postures.

The World Health Organization has studied the health ramifications for those with jobs that require countless hours sitting at a desk. Their studies revealed that heart disease, obesity, high-blood pressure, and diabetes, among other ailments, are more likely to be discovered in those with sedentary, sitting jobs. And while standing all day long can lead to another set of health issues, studies suggests that changing positions and postures throughout the work day can help prevent physical stresses from building in the back, neck, shoulders and legs.

Many models are designed for ease of use. The user can easily adjust the height of the desk, raise or lower the desk in order to work either sitting down, or standing. Electric adjustable height desks afford ease with the press of a button.

Adjustable height desks and tables also offer flexibility in configuring your home or office. The highly adjustable desks can meet the specific size of any user, permanent or temporary. This ensures a healthy working environment for the user, helping place the monitor, the keyboard, and the desk within a proper reach to the posture of the user. The use of adjustable height desks also allows for workstations to be specially configured for certain projects, by being able to set them for standing postures, like a workstation, or for unique configurations for special events.

Please feel free to ask our staff for advice, specifications, and suggestions on what would be the perfect adjustable-height desk for you and your employees. We are sure you’ll notice a positive difference with an adjustable-height desk within a day or two.

Ergonomic Notes:

Among the dangers of sitting countless hours in front of computer monitors are: heart disease, blood clots, diabetes, high-blood pressure, and depression. Many professionals are riveted to their work, trapped on their computers and at their workstations. Without noticing, one can sit for 10 to 12 hours at a desk, without movement, interruption, and no exercise. The body requires changes in motion and posture to sustain a healthy circulation of blood and oxygen.

Reports focused on the results of jobs that require hours of sitting versus those that have more physical demands revealed that, even with exercise, those who sit a majority of their life are more prone to ill-health, and are the ones to claim more sick days annually.

Ergonomic workstations are the perfect solution. Adjustable height desks enable the user to stand or sit whenever they feel like doing so. You can adjust the height specifically to the needs of your particular size and situation. The adjustable height desk is the final piece to complete the ideal ergonomic workstation. It works in conjunction with the ergonomic chair, the keyboard tray, and monitor arms and mounts. This is an investment in the productivity and well being of you and your employees.
