Favorite design for workstation (A1)



Having experienced pain from my previous workstation, I became enamored with this solution. It is a sit/stand desk.

10 reasons why I love this desk
  • Offers tremendous versatility to accommodate people of various sizes and shapes.
  • Ability to vary position, sitting and standing, reducing potential for repetitive motion injury.
  • Reduces shortening of muscles that is common during prolonged sitting.
  • Less back and neck strain from looking down and/or being in an awkward position.
  • Brings screen up to eye level, good when collaborating with others.
  • Standing allows the space to stretch and lengthen the body, rather than compressing it.
  • Greatly reduces slouching that is common in a seated position.
  • Allows options for using desk with different heights of seating; chair, stool, balance ball.
  • Modern design compliments the modern concept of the changeable desk.
  • Appeals to my love of trick features that make a product multi-functional.
