Advantages of standing desks

Whether you feel comfortable at work depends to a large extent on your posture when working. "Desk dwellers" inevitably have to sit for many hours a day, potentially damaging their backs. Even the best office chair cannot prevent you from becoming tired and suffering from concentration problems while sitting, not to mention the long-term health disadvantages of sitting.
A standing desk temporarily forces you into a different posture during working hours, which is good for your back and your whole body: your spine straightens, your chest opens up and your breathing becomes deeper. As a direct result, more oxygen enters your lungs and circulation, and you immediately become more alert and creative. Working standing up is significantly more productive, especially in meetings and brainstorming sessions.

Height-adjustable desks that can be raised to standing height are quite expensive. Standing desks are a practical and affordable alternative. They offer the advantage of making it possible to work standing up in different areas of the office without having to replace the entire office furnishings. With a height-adjustable and tiltable standing desk, you can offer your employees the option of adapting the desk to their individual needs.

Areas of application for standing desks

Standing desks are flexible, easy to transport and help with back-friendly working by encouraging people to change position. Tiltable standing desks are ideal for presentations, pitches and customer meetings. Standing desks can also be used outdoors and in conference rooms to encourage people to come together, where they can place small items or set up a laptop. If you add a height-adjustable standing desk with a standing aid or bar stool, it becomes a spontaneous workstation.

At Profi-Line Gotha you will find a wide variety of standing desks:

• Standing desks with and without castors
• height-adjustable desks
• tiltable standing desks
• Laptop attachments

Why standing desks are not automatically healthy

Nowadays, it is undisputed that sitting for long periods of time is not good for your back or your general health. However, this does not mean that standing desks are a fully-fledged ergonomic alternative to working in a seated position!
Working standing up for long periods of time is also not good for the back. People who work standing up for long periods of time also often suffer from back pain, as well as venous thrombosis and varicose veins, knee problems and foot pain.
A healthy mix of sitting, standing and sufficient movement in between is crucial! So be sure to supplement your standing desk with a standing aid or an ergonomic stool and, above all, make sure that you change position at least every two hours. A walk to the printer or to your colleagues, a phone call while walking or a short gymnastics interlude are the magic ingredients for a permanently healthy back at work.

FAQ

1. What is a standing desk?
A standing desk is a small table with a work surface that is so high that it can only be used while standing. Standing desks allow back-friendly working while standing, but can also be used to store small items such as presentation materials, tablets or snacks at meetings and conferences. They have a very wide range of uses. For longer periods of standing work, they should be supplemented with an ergonomic standing aid.

2. What types of standing desks are there?
There are numerous types of standing desks. These include

• Laptop desks
• Standing desks with castors
• height-adjustable standing desks
• tiltable standing desks
• foldable standing desks
• Laptop attachments

3. Is a standing desk healthy?
As a change from working in a sitting position, a standing desk is very healthy as it straightens the spine and relaxes the back muscles, forces the body to adopt an upright posture and opens up the chest, which improves breathing. However, working exclusively standing up without changing position in between is just as unhealthy as working sitting down for too long.

4. What are the disadvantages of a standing desk?
Working at a standing desk for too long is just as unhealthy as sitting for too long: Standing for long periods puts strain on the back and legs, leads to venous congestion and thrombosis and can cause long-term postural damage. The small surface area of the standing desk is also generally not sufficient for an all-day workstation.
