Standing desks are key to an ergonomic office design
Day in, day out, we spend hours sitting behind our desks, while most of us know it’s actually not that great for our bodies. The solution is easy: simply switch between sitting and standing to boost energy levels, improve concentration and reduce back problems. With affordable standing desks, it’s easier for everyone to move more throughout the day and create a healthier, more dynamic workspace. This guide shows how to make the most of your standing desk for an ergonomic office setup.
In a better position
Our height-adjustable desks make it easy for your team to switch between sitting, standing or leaning. No matter the position, your screen should be at eye level, tilted slightly back and about an arm’s length away. When standing, keep your arms relaxed with elbows at a 90 to 120 degree angle and the keyboard at elbow height. Prefer a halfway option? The half-standing position works well, too. Adjust your desk and stool so your elbows rest comfortably on the tabletop, with your back straight, knees soft and feet flat on the floor. The same posture tips apply when sitting. Relax your shoulders, keep your elbows slightly open and choose a chair with good lower back support. After a bit of practice, you will not want to sit all day again. It is a smart investment, too: Less discomfort can mean fewer sick days and more energy in the office.
This desk never gets in the way
Standing desks are about more than just good posture and increased concentration. Beyond the buttons that make them go up and down, they come with many other features to help them fit seamlessly into the workplace. Take MITTZON’s memory setting, which gives your employees the option to pre-set their preferred standing and sitting height – so they don’t have to fiddle with it during the day.
While you are changing the height of the desk, our anti-collision feature will stop it automatically from bumping into plants or chairs. As a bonus, a cable management tray keeps cables tidy, even as the desk moves up and down. To improve focus even more, add acoustic screens, helping everyone find their best zone: both physically and mentally.
