Sit-to-Stand Desks
Price Range: $700–$1,500
Best Used In: The beauty of these desks is they work in any office setting, plus, everyone can benefit from having a flexible work station.
Why We Love It: If you thought the stand-up-desk was going the way of medicine ball chairs and Thighmasters, think again. “We still hear requests all the time for these desks,” says Victoria Gorham, an account executive with Grooms Office Environments. Yes, these desks are great at getting you off your bum as often as you wish, but they offer more perks than simply an improved posture. The real perk is being able to adjust your entire workstation to your physical needs. “It’s about creating the most ergonomic space to work in,” Gorham says. “One chair height doesn’t fit all, so why should a desk?” Wearing heels one day and need a little extra leg room? No problem. Need to ditch your daily desk and work from another spot in the office? Great. A sit-to-stand desk allows you to replicate your original work station. As Gorham says, it’s time to think beyond the exercise benefits these desks offer. “It’s not about standing and timing yourself. It’s about being able to adjust your station to your physical needs.”
