Standing Desk Converters

A desk converter is a device that sits on top of your existing workstation. The converter gives you the freedom to either sit or stand. Most popular sit-stand desk converters are made with a heavy base that keeps the device secured to your desk. Some models also use a clamp feature to keep the converter secured. A useful feature of desk converters is that most of them require zero assembly out of the box and they just sit on top of your desk.

What is a Standing Desk Converter?

Sit-stand desk converters are a compact device that’s placed on top of your workstation. Converters are an affordable option if a sit/stand desk is a little out of your price range, or if your work only has a limited budget for office upgrades. A converter is designed to make your life easier. Any setup you currently have with your current workstation can be replicated with a desk converter as some converters are capable of supporting dual monitors. The Humanscale Quickstand Sit Stand is a popular dual monitor desk converter and was awarded the illustrious title of ‘Best Office Accessory of the Decade’ by Interior Design Magazine.

How Do You Turn a Regular Desk into a Standing Desk?

The Ergotron Workfit Corner Sit Stand Desk Converter uses a gas strut which lets you quickly change from sitting to standing. Whereas, the Encore Electric Sit Stand Desk Converter uses a hidden motor to lower and raise the desk to suit your height requirement. Sit stand desk converters don’t require any physical exertion to change the height of the desk, making it the perfect device suitable for just about anyone who requires more comfort in the workplace.

What Are The Benefits of a Desk Converter?

Develop Healthy Habits

Alternating between sitting and standing helps to develop healthy work habits and improves your overall health. Standing at your desk can burn more calories than sitting, helping you to remain active while at work. Some reports suggest that by standing at your desk in the afternoon, you can burn an additional 1000 calories. If you find yourself struggling to remain active with an office job, a sit stand desk converter can help you burn a few extra calories.

Sit-Stand Desk Converters Reduce Back Pain

Sitting 8 hours in a chair all day is bound to leave you with some aches and pains, especially if you aren’t using an ergonomic office chair. One study concluded that using a sit stand desk lowers upper back and neck pain by 54%.

Increased comfort and productivity

A sit-stand desk converter is the perfect addition to your workspace if you have been experiencing long bouts of discomfort during your workday. Switching between sitting and standing helps you to feel energised throughout the day, and it can increase your overall productivity. Having complete control over how you work lets you say goodbye to all those annoying pains and other office injuries.

Encourages Team Collaboration

If you work in a collaborative team environment, a sit stand desk converter can greatly improve your teams productivity. These devices allow office workers to quickly walk between workstations without having to worry about dragging office chairs or bending over to see the computer screen at a low height.
