Frequently Asked Questions
How long should I stand at my standing desk?
Using an ergonomic standing desk correctly is essential to get the most out of your investment. Here are some guidelines to follow:
1. Avoid standing or sitting for too long, as both can have negative effects.
2. Identify you sitting and standing "thresholds" and aim to switch positions before reaching this point.
3. Gradually transition to standing throughout the day, starting with short intervals, and gradually increasing standing time.
4. Aim for a 1:1 ratio of sitting to standing over the course of the workday.
5. Consider using anti-fatigue mats and ergonomic workstation setups to enhance comfort and productivity.
See our Blog "How Long Should You Stand at a Standing Desk" for more details.
Are standing desks worth it?
There are numerous physical and mental health advantages of incorporating a standing desk into one's workspace.
Physical benefits include improved posture, circulation, energy levels, muscle tone, reduced risk of diseases such as heart disease and type 2 diabetes, and natural pain relief, particularly for back and neck pain. In addition, a sit stand desk can provide many mental health benefits, such as improved concentration, mood enhancement, and increased productivity and creativity.
See our Blog "Why Standing Desks are Worth the Hype" for more details.
Is standing all day at your desk good for you?
It is always true that too much of a good thing is not always beneficial, and so is the case with standing at your desk for too long. Whilst sit-stand desks are a solution to combat prolonged sitting there are risks associated with prolonged standing, such as muscle fatigue and joint pain. The ideal option is to have set routines or reminders to alternate between sitting and standing at your desk. Use of an anti-fatigue mat whilst standing will also reduce pain associated with standing for extended periods.
While sit-stand desks can help reduce sitting time, they may not be sufficient on their own, prioritizing physical activity over prolonged sitting or standing is crucial for overall health and well-being.
See our Blog "The Science Behind Height-Adjustable Desks" for more details.
What height should a desk be set at?
A great way to see if you are using the correct height for your standing desk is to ensure that your keyboard and desk surface are both at your sitting elbow height when you are standing at your stand-up desk. When you use your desk in an ideal way, your seat height should make sure that your shoulders are relaxed, and your forearms are bent at an estimated right angle
What is the difference between a standing desk and a converter desk?
A standing desk converter, also known as Desk Risers, is a device placed on top of a desk, allowing users to adjust its height for both sitting and standing positions. They are popular for saving money and space compared to buying a full standing desk. They can hold up to 50 kg in addition to the weight capacity of the existing desk. Users should consider both the weight limit of their desk and the converter when purchasing one. Converters are designed to accommodate a monitor and keyboard, freeing up desk space for personal items.
What factors to consider when selecting a standing desk for your office?
1. Build quality of the frame.
2. Desktop options: Consider aesthetics and material choices. UpDown Desk offers a variety, including environmentally friendly bamboo and Australian native hardwoods.
3. Warranties & returns: Check return policies and warranties. UpDown Desk offers a 100-day return policy.
4. Cost of delivery: Hidden delivery costs can significantly impact the overall price.
5. Assembly: Consider ease of assembly and clarity of instructions. UpDown Desk provides a clear manual and video tutorial, with most desktops incorporating threaded inserts for tool-free assembly.
6. Cable management: Look for solutions to maintain a clean setup. UpDown brand desks come with a cable management tray and set as standard.
7. Price and value: Compare prices and consider the quality of the product. Cheaper options may lack durability and functionality.
