What are standing desks?

Typical work desks do not offer any adjustments to each user. A standing desk offers users the freedom to sit and work when tired or needed, or they can raise the desks’ height to stand and work.  How is that? A new design standing desk has an adjustable desk that can be adjusted by cranking it pneumatically or using an electric motor.

What are the benefits? Standing and working give you a break from the monotony of sitting and working; your muscles change positions, and the chances of stiff postures are reduced. As a result, your health around pains and aches of the back and neck is reduced. With a healthy lifestyle, your productivity goes up. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration from the Department of Labor, USA, has guidelines on the best sitting posture using a modern adjustable height desk.  Here is our review of some of the best contemporary standing desks.

1. Smart Desk Core

A standing desk designed specifically for you, the SmartDesk 2 (Standard) fulfills your needs for your comfort.  Built with elegance, this desk gives you a choice to adjust the desk's height at the flick of a button. Equipped with dual motors, the desk can be raised from 29.4 inches to 48 inches for your comfort. Lean on it for support as you take a call or set it to a height for working on your computer system. Tired? No worries, as you easily lower it without clearing up your workspace. Do ensure that no breakables are present.

With a range of six different colors to choose from, you are sure to have a trendier office.  With the large workspace that the desk offers, you may want to avoid fluorescent colors or big motifs; that’s why the natural wooden finish is attractive with a classy finish. You can also choose a color for the sturdy solid steel frames that support a maximum weight of 265 pounds. What's more, take your pick from either the regular size desk (53” W x 29” D) or an XL size. Your best choice is the SmartDesk 2 (Standard) for a trendy office.

2. SmartDesk 2

Being a pro, this standing desk is ergonomically designed. With the SmartDesk 2, you can use it for multiple purposes. The SmartDesk 2 is available in six plush and different colors, offering you a choice to go with the trendy designed office. The steel frames on the lower side could be contrasted with a choice of three different colors.   The table can take an extended weight of up to 310 pounds. Awesome, isn’t it?

The desk works using a powered electric motor and has four settings that you can define.  The near noiseless electric motor (40dB) gives you a pleasant and very little hum and does not interrupt your work. With a seven-year warranty on offer, it makes an ideal pick!

3. SmartDesk 2 L-Shaped

An L-shaped standing office desk, the SmartDesk 2 L-Shaped, gives you options to seat two colleagues close to each other.  This could foster better work relationships. Both users can lower or raise the table height with the triple electric motor individually. A soft button can manage these near noiseless motors.

Raise the desk from 29.4 inches to 48 inches by the press of a button. Want to pre-program settings?

Offering you a fifteen-year warranty on the frame and electronic parts does make an interesting deal.  However, you may want to review the stability of the desk with its JieCang design frame.
