Height Adjustable 30” x 48” Ergonomic Business Desk - Aged Porcelain

Standing desks are making a dent in the market for home and office furniture. They are a simple way to combat some of the health effects of seated desks which can include increased risk of diabetes, heart disease, weight gain, and obesity. Today, we take a look at one of the most elegant, versatile standing desks on the market.

The Stratis Height Adjustable 30” x 48” Ergonomic Business Desk - Aged Porcelain has the best of both worlds, as it is height adjustable from a 24” sitting position to a 50” standing position. The height adjustments are made by an ultra-quiet electric motor synchronization control system that is controlled by an LED touchscreen that has three memory options for additional convenience. The LED touchscreen is designed into the work surface for a sneak, aesthetically pleasing look.

There is no shortage of options when it comes to colors and configurations for this ergonomic desk. It doesn’t matter what color scheme your home or office uses, there is a desk that will match. Available colors include: warm honey, aged porcelain, ganache, folkestone grey, ivory biscayne, norway, sable, cocoa pecan, icicle, tunisia stone, and cider! Not only is this desk appealing to the eye, it has the brawn to back it up with a 265 pound weight capacity and an ultra tough, 1” thick MDF high pressure finished laminate that is both durable and easy to clean.

Let’s look at some of the other benefits that come from using a standing desk.

Reduces Back Pain and Improves Energy

Sitting at a desk all day puts you at the mercy of whatever chair you have at your desk. When you consider the fact that a typical workday is eight hours, you quickly begin to realize how much time you might be spending in an inert—and oftentimes uncomfortable—position. Standing desks have been shown to help reduce back pain. Standing is not only a natural position, but it engages muscles which are then strengthened and help support your back and posture going forward. Standing also improves your energy level by keeping your body at attention. Sitting can make it easy to become overly relaxed and tired, which will cut into your productivity.

Fights Weight Gain/Obesity

One of the factors of weight gain can be a lack of exercise or simply not burning enough calories on a daily basis. Working from a standing position has been shown to actually burn over 170 additional calories per workday. This is in addition to the normal caloric output that a person creates, on average, when working from a seated position. According to the Wisconsin Department of Health, that’s the same amount of calories that a person weighing 155 pounds would burn if they were to ride a bike at about 13 miles per hour for just under four miles.

Boosts Productivity

Although standing at a desk for long hours might take some getting used to simply because it is so different from what people have always done, many studies have concluded that productivity is actually increased by working from a standing position. This comes from the fact that working at a standing desk doesn’t seem to affect the ability to perform under specific metrics such as words typed per minute. However, due to the improved mood and energy that comes from working at a standing desk, productivity ends up increasing.
