5 Reasons to Upgrade to a Height Adjustable Desk
With height adjustable desks now more affordable than ever, is it time you start investing in them for your workforce?
Over the last few years, the increased availability of height adjustable office desks have made them a reality for most, but you may still be wondering what all the hype is about.
There are many benefits to using an adjustable height desk, from improved posture to decreased stress and increased productivity. If you're still on the fence about whether or not to invest in one of these desks, take a look below at our top 5 reasons to upgrade your office desks;
Improved Posture
When it comes to sitting down at work, most tend to slouch over their desks with poor posture. This is usually due to a lack of proper support for your back when sitting. Adjustable height desks can help with this problem by allowing you to raise your desk up so that you are sitting upright, which will in turn improve your overall back health.
In addition, the availability to stand while working at their desk can allow staff that suffer from back issues to stand and relieve the stress on their backs throughout the day.
Reduced Risk of Injuries
Another major benefit of using a height adjustable desk is the ability to adjust the angle of your keyboard and mouse so that they are at a 90-degree angle from each other when you work. This will allow for less stress on your wrists and hands, making it much more comfortable to type and use your computers mouse.
Increased Productivity
You may have heard the saying: "The best work is done from a standing position." Well, that's not necessarily true. Realistically, it varies from person person and depends on how comfortable you are sitting or standing for extended periods. An adjustable height desk allows you to switch between the two. This means that you can be more productive by varying your work style throughout your day, depending on the specific task.
No Additional Purchases Needed
A common misconception is that investing in adjustable desks will incur further costs. Along with a new desk you need to buy a chair, monitor, keyboard stand specific to a height adjustable desk... Right?
Not necessarily. While this may be true for some, most adjustable height desks are designed to work with any standard office equipment that you might already have. You can purchase additional accessories if needed, but it’s not needed (in most cases a longer wire would do the trick).
Won’t Break the Bank
If you are looking for a new desk, a height adjustable may not have even crossed your mind, and that's probably due to cost. These desks have become increasingly available at a much lower price, falling around 90% in cost over the last 5 years. With their prices decreasing, there are now so many more affordable options, opening up variables such as materials and accessory options.
