Correct Height

It is important to ensure you are standing at the correct height. Your desk should be at or slightly below elbow height. This means your arms should be positioned at a 90 degree angle from the floor. The correct desk height prevents health complaints such as back pain and muscle fatigue leaning and incorrect posture can cause. Some height adjustable desks have programmable functions allowing you to store personal height settings, abling you to reach them quickly and easily at the click of a button.

Correct Posture

Establishing the correct height is an important element to gaining a healthy standing posture. It's so easy to stand with your legs crossed and your hip buckled, but this puts pressure on the neck and spine. Feet should be hip width apart, and knees should be slightly bent. It's a good idea to shift your weight regularly from each foot to increase comfort and prevent straining.

Short Intervals

Don't replace prolonged sitting with prolonged standing. Prolonged standing is just as harmful, try to include a variation. The aim is to stand for a recommended 2 hours per day, this is equivalent to 15 minutes per hour. The process from sitting to standing should be made gradually, giving your body chance to adapt to the posture change.

When PCs were first introduced back in the 1970s, the need for large corner desks in the office were an essential to hold the old style bulky CRT monitors, and still allow enough workspace. Narrower and slimmer monitors were then designed which aided towards less space been required, quickly followed by laptops and tablets. This advancement has led to improved aesthetics in office furniture design resulting in the launch of bench desking and standing desks. Bench systems incorporate shared legs and components which allows for large uninterrupted work areas, team flexibility and reduced costs. An integrated toolbar screens on some benching allows the user to mount multiple monitors and accessories, freeing up desk space.
