There are many reasons to buy a standing desk (sometimes called stand up desks, sit-stand desks, or sit-to-stand desks), but there are so many choices that finding the best fit for your needs can be a challenge. This article summarizes things you should consider before you buy. FIRST, IS A STANDING DESK RIGHT FOR ME? Maybe. Maybe not. Your goal should be to move often throughout the day, changing postures frequently, and a good adjustable desk is a tool that will help you do that. For many people, standing all the time is no better, and maybe even worse, than sitting all the time. In fact, it’s doing one or the other, all the time, that becomes a problem. If you choose an adjustable workstation, it will become a great tool on your path toward improved work comfort, performance, and your overall health and well-being. SHOULD I GET A STANDING DESK, OR A SIT-STAND DESK? Sit-stand desks and sit-stand desktop conversion units are designed to support both traditional sitting and standing work. Some desks are designed exclusively for standing or “perching.” Perching is a term that describes a sit-stand or semi-seated posture, characterized by a wide, open hip angle. If you’re committed to standing or maintaining an open hip angle, the standing designs might be your preference. If you’re planning to stand sometimes, and fully sit others, then a sit-to-stand design is your target. DOES IT NEED TO BE HEIGHT ADJUSTABLE? Yes, height adjustability is highly recommended if you want a flexible workstation that accommodates all of your work and well-being needs. For example, when computing you may prefer one height; when reading or writing, another; talking on the phone, another; and so on. If more than one person may use it, adjustability becomes a necessity. SHOULD I GET A WHOLE NEW DESK, OR A UNIT THAT SITS ON TOP OF MY EXISTING DESK? This is primarily a matter of preference, but you should also consider your available space, as well as the surface space you need to work effectively. When you think about your space, consider the “footprint” that either a desk or a desk-top unit will occupy, as well as the desktop work surface space your choice will provide. If you like to spread things out and keep a lot of elbow room, a full desk may be a better choice. If ample desk surface space is not needed, then a desktop sit-stand unit may be the perfect choice. Also consider compatibility with your other office tools and furniture, both in terms of function and aesthetics. For example, some cubicle designs are not easily adapted to adjustable work surfaces, so a desktop unit may be the only practical option. HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT – HOW HIGH AND LOW SHOULD IT GO? We strongly encourage you to invest in a table, desk, or desktop unit that adjusts all the way from sitting to standing heights. They offer the greatest flexibility and support for healthy and productive work and long-term well-being. Each desk on the market has its own unique adjustment range, so you need to select one that accommodates you, or whoever will be using it, while in a fully seated position, and a fully standing position. Be sure to consider things like the thickness of the table/desk surface, the height of the keyboard surface sitting atop the desk, shoe height, the thickness of floor mats, or anything else that may affect these heights. standing desk https://www.fezibo.com/collections/standing-desk height adjustable desk https://www.fezibo.com/collections/height-adjustable-desk wooden standing desk https://www.fezibo.com/collections/wooden-standing-desk white standing desk https://www.fezibo.com/collections/white-standing-desk bamboo standing desk https://www.fezibo.com/products/fezibo-bamboo-top-standing-desk glass standing desk https://www.fezibo.com/products/fezibo-glass-top-standing-desk cheap standing desk https://www.fezibo.com/collections/fezibo-deals
