Sit Stand Workstation – What to remember when ordering yours

So you've decided on the right sit stand workstation for you. What's next?

There are a large number of accessories available for standing desks, from toolbar screens to desk control software and premium controllers, all additions to the purchase of your desk. To ensure you get the most out of your brand new sit stand workstation, here are a few tips on what to remember when ordering.

Screen Dividers

With standing desk suppliers offering the choice of either a shared central dividing screen or individual toolbar screens, its easy to forget that 2 screens may be required upon the purchase of a double configuration. Individual toolbar screens move independently with each desk, as well as providing extra storage and freeing up desk space.

Premium Controllers

Included in the price of your sit stand workstation is a standard controller. This provides up and down functions only and does not include memory pre-sets. If you would like to store your personal height settings and reach them at a click of a button, premium controllers are a great additional purchase.

Wire Management

To ensure your desk looks picture perfect, cable management accessories such as wire snakes and slinkys are a perfect addition to hide wires and provide a sleek, professional finish.

As a UK office furniture manufacture, here at Hawk Furniture we can supply all your standing desk needs.

Standing Desks Improve Productivity In Meeting Rooms

Abandon your meeting chair in aid of a standing desk!

With detrimental links to bad health, sitting has been labelled as the new smoking, but standing at work and during meetings has been proven to boost creativity and teamwork. A study conducted by Washington University in St Louis found that standing during meetings not only improves productivity and quality, but also reduces any tendencies employees may have to be territorial about their ideas. Members of the study among the standing groups were found to be less protective, leading to improved team engagement and work quality.

Its easy to sit back and relax during meetings, but do you ever find that your mind easily wanders? Many of us can't resist the urge to doodle and day dream, but removing chairs from meeting rooms and replacing them with a standing desk keeps employees engaged as well as promoting a healthier more active lifestyle.

Switching from sitting to standing is a simple cost effective way of re-designing an office and incorporating new collaborative work areas.

Budget Standing Desk – Creating A Healthy Office On A Budget

Creating a healthy office and environment doesn't have to cost the earth, and you can reap the benefits too! Linked to heart disease and other health complaints, research shows our sedentary lifestyle is doing more harm than good. Introducing a budget standing desk into your office design will prevent the effects prolonged sitting can cause, as well as increasing staff productivity and morale.

Spoilt for choice, there are numerous variants of adjustable desks available within the office furniture industry. From cheap single motor desks to premium height adjustable desks capable of memory presents and providing reminders based on individual goals and targets. But when budgets are involved, we want something that doesn't break the bank.

When we hear cheap, we automatically think poor quality and design, but this isn’t the case with the new Volt electric height adjustable desk. Teamed with a 5 year guarantee, digital display and competitive prices, this budget standing desk won’t break the bank and will stand the test of time.

Short, regular intervals of standing increases blood flow and metabolic rate creating happier, healthier, more energised staff. Creating a healthy office doesn't have to be expensive!
