Stand Tall, Work Smart: Unlock Productivity With a Standing Desk
Aug 2nd 2023
Start standing taller and working smarter when you work behind a standing desk. Standing desks offer a lot of benefits to productivity, including increased energy, focus, posture, and less potential back pain.
Today, we’ll take a closer look at making the transition to a standing desk in your home or office. After you make this transition, you’ll never want to go back to sitting down again.
Make a Regular Desk Standing With a Standing Desk Converter
One possible solution is to turn a regular desk into a standing one with a standing desk converter. There is a range of conversion kits available that will make any desk into a standing one.
However, there are pros and cons to going with this particular solution. For many home offices, this may be the cheapest solution, if not necessarily the easiest one.
Advantages of Converting a Standing Desk
The same health and ergonomic benefits are available with a converted standing desk as one designed for that purpose. Depending on the height you stand at, you also have more control over the desk’s range of adjustment.
In addition, conversions like these are typically more budget-friendly than replacing the desk outright. For those willing to take the time and effort to convert them, this can be a worthwhile savings.
Disadvantages of Converting
The two biggest disadvantages of converting a standing desk are aesthetics and practical considerations. A traditional desk may not be designed with standing desk conversion in mind. This can lead to exposed parts or other aesthetic irregularities that can impact the desk’s natural beauty.
Practically speaking, converting a desk into a standing desk requires additional labor. That may be your own labor or others, but it should also be factored into the decision.
The Benefits of an L Shaped Standing Desk
Compared to more traditional shapes, there are a lot of additional benefits to an L shaped standing desk. The biggest one is the additional desk space for projects or storage. In addition, the wider range prevents restricted movement and the physical strain that can come with it.
L-shaped standing desks provide greater weight distribution and stability over traditional desks, as well as multiple potential configurations. Once you switch over to an L shaped standing desk, you’ll never want to go back to traditional set-ups again.
