Standing Desk Feedback

Sitting for long periods of time has been related to increased chances of obesity, back and neck pain and heart disease as well as many other health issues in studies. Even those who exercise on a daily basis run the risk of developing health problems if they sit at their desk too much. Standing desks lift your computer to a height that allows you to work while standing. This keeps you on your feet for a longer period of time throughout the day.

The benefits of standing desks and sit-stand working include being able to alternate between sitting and standing throughout the day, increased levels of energy, focus, concentration and productivity, as well as improvements in posture and calorie burning.

Here is some feedback we have received from people who have ordered standing desks:

I do find the desk to be beneficial, however, I definitely don’t use it to it’s full potential. Sometimes the work I do doesn’t work well with standing and I prefer to sit, but that may be because I’m not the most active/physically fit individual. I would recommend the desk to anyone who is thinking of having one.

I think it is really beneficial. It has helped my posture and standing for short periods throughout the day helps me to concentrate more.

A great addition to a desk! Having the option to stand when you are mostly sitting all day has tons of benefits! This is something I would recommend to everybody.

I love my sit-stand desk, it helps me to feel less sluggish, rather than sitting in my chair all day. I feel as though my posture has improved without me particularly trying and even when I do sit down, I am sat more upright now – which is eliminating any back pain that I usually have felt. The mat is a great addition although when I wear it with shoes, I feel less inclined to sit back down.

No issues what so ever, I much prefer being able to stand as I spend much of my time sat behind desks, at work and at home. Been good for my back also. I’ve had all the benefits you would expect to see!

I love it! Gives you the freedom to stand and stretch your legs. I would recommend to anyone, it has really helped to improve my back pain and tired legs!
