Standing Desks - Height Adjustable Office Desks

Standing desks, also known as up down desks give you the freedom to switch between sitting and standing by changing the position of your desk. An ergonomic adjustable stand desk can help to eliminate the discomfort that occurs from sitting down in one position for too long, as well as helping boost productivity and activity levels.

If you want to try an adjustable standing desk before you buy it, feel free to come and test them in our Perth showroom - you will be blown away with the level of comfort you experience with this furniture. You can also speak to one of our experts to help you with your decision, and perhaps discuss the space you'll be placing the desk. Otherwise, shop online and enjoy the convenience of nation-wide delivery in Australia.

With a standing desk you can adjust the height of the desk to easily switch between sitting and standing. You can choose from a stand-alone height adjustable desk, standing desk legs which you can attach to your current desktop, portable standing desk carts, and standing desk converters that sit on top of your existing desk.

Standing Desks FAQs

What are the benefits of standing desks?

A standing desk can provide many benefits when used correctly, these include:

Posture

If your posture is affected by sitting down in a seat too long, you should seriously consider an up down desk. Bad posture can lead to decreased productivity and muscle pain. Standing throughout the day and using an anti-fatigue mat, can greatly improve your posture.

Increased comfort

A standing desk enables you to change your position and suit your comfort needs. We’ve all experienced the numb feeling that occurs from sitting in a conventional desk and chair for too long. With standing desks, you can quickly adjust its height to a standing position so you never have to sit in discomfort again.

Helps you to remain active

Being stuck in a chair all day is one way to lose motivation. Having options to stand and work keeps your muscles active throughout the day. Standing at your desk also burns more calories than sitting - something to remember the next time you have a slice of office cake!

Are height adjustable desks good for you?

If you’ve ever worked in an office, you’re familiar with the uncomfortable pain that comes from sitting down in a conventional desk and chair for too long. A height-adjustable standing desk helps to alleviate discomfort by letting you alternate your work position.

Using an up down desk can help increase productivity, boost energy levels, and can also help your muscles to remain active throughout your day.

Can you sit at an adjustable standing desk?

Our range of standing desks are height adjustable so you have the option to sit or stand. Changing between sitting and standing keeps your body moving and feeling comfortable as standing for the full duration of your work can cause straining to your body.

How do you use a sit stand desk?

When using a sit stand desk, it’s important to customise the desk to suit your own needs. The great thing about height adjustable desks is that they’re easy to use and can be quickly adjusted to fit any body type.

Most standing desks operate with either a gas-assisted lever or an electronic lever, both levers allow you to change from sitting to standing in a matter of seconds. The Boost Plus Single Sided Height Adjustable Desk uses a preset controller and is one of the more affordable standing desks available on the market.

Best practices when using an adjustable standing desk

To find the best position for your desk you should stand up straight, with neutral wrists and your elbows at a 90 degree angle. Then level the desk at the height of your elbows.

How many hours a day should you stand at your desk?

It’s important to alternate between sitting and standing to get the most benefits from your adjustable standing desks. Although there is no definitive answer as to how long you should be standing at your desk, many ergonomic experts believe that you should stand between 20 - 30 minutes for every hour at your desk.

If this is the first time using a standing desk, it’s suggested to start by standing for a few minutes and gradually work your way up to remain standing for longer. Choosing to stand for too long can also lead to discomfort if you don’t use an anti-fatigue mat. Anti-fatigue mats use a raised bottom to help support healthy muscle activity during periods of standing.

How long can the desk last and how do you maintain it?

On average, an up down desk can last for around 5 to 10 years, however, if they are properly cared for and maintained the desks can last even longer.

Many factors can affect longevity, such as usage habits, frequency of use and type of standing desk but there are also ways to ensure that you are getting the best out of your desk through proper maintenance.

Below are simple ways to maintain or care for your adjustable standing desk:

  • Avoid overloading the desk by going over the weight capacity.
  • Keep liquid away as that can cause issues to the motor if any liquid spills.
  • Regularly clean the desk surface by wiping it down with a damp cloth or disinfectant wipes.
  • Do occasional checks for any damaged or loose parts.

For issues beyond your control, please refer to the warranty of your up down desk to see if you can still get it repaired. If in doubt, get in touch with our friendly and experienced team at Ergolink.
