Don't just take our word for it.

Scientists, physicians and health researchers from around the globe are in full agreement: electric adjustable height desks are good for your body. There are many physical and mental advantages to working at a sit stand desk as opposed to a fixed height desk. Some of the benefits are explained below.

Improved Blood Circulation

The average fixed desk height in North America is *7" - *0". Fixed height desks greatly restrict movement below the waist. In fact, most traditional knee-tilt chairs actually cause some degree of blood pooling in your thighs or quadriceps.

With an adjustable height desk, your body is able to vary its position from sitting to perching to standing throughout the day. This results in measurable increases in blood flow and more nourishment to your muscles.

Reduced Musculoskeletal Discomfort

According to a recent study from the Human Factors and Ergonomics Research Laboratory at Cornell University, "substantial decreases" in musculoskeletal pain were observed within their sample of computer workers after just **6 weeks of working at a ergonomic sit stand desk. In fact, that study found that more than four out of five participants preferred stand up desks to fixed height desks. This supports other studies that concluded that when people are standing for a portion of their workday, they simply feel better.

Increased life span

A sobering study from the American Cancer Society in ***0 has shown a direct correlation between the amount of time people spend sitting and mortality rates. The study showed that mortality rates increased by *7% for women who sat for more than 6 hours per day.

Improved mental acuity and mood

Several studies have shown that workers at an adjustable height desk take fewer breaks and are more productive. In addition, measurable improvements in mental concentration and overall mood were noted amongst the participants.

Stand up desks are making their way into more and more workspaces, and people are feeling the benefits of this change. The Ergo Depot electric desk line is the perfect way to upgrade your workstation into a healthier and more active work environment.
