What Makes Stand Desk Different?

Stand Desk is in a class of its own

01

Best In Class Frames

Fast, Quiet & Strong

The Stand Desk PRO frame moves at a lightning fast 80mm per second (33% faster than the next best competing product) to get you between sitting and standing positions in no time at all. The Stand Desk Essential model is still faster than all but one other standing desk in the Australian market at 50mm per second. With powerful dual motors, 3 stage legs, built in anti-collision technology, under 45 decibels and soft start/stops the Stand Desk frames provide ‘best in class’ performance. The height range of 64 – 128cm will suit users from 5’0 to 6’8. 

The Stand Desk frames are engineered to be rock solid and wobble free at all heights.

02

Intelligent Desk App

Program your sit-stand schedule

Your sit stand desk from Stand Desk is controllable through the Stand Desk app which connects to your desk through Bluetooth. You can use the app to create customised sit/stand schedules to remind you when to stand and when to sit. The Stand Desk app also provides easy voice commands through Siri and Google Assistant to move between your sitting and standing positions.

Integrated Wireless Charging

Easy on desk device charging

The Stand Desk PRO comes standard with an integrated 10W wireless charger. This means you can place your wireless charging compatible device on a set position of the desk top and your phone charges so you can get rid of annoying cables.

During a typical day, Australians spend as much as 95% of the day sitting. But our bodies aren’t designed to be sitting for hours on end. We are meant to be in motion.

What benefits can you expect from using a height adjustable standing desk?

  • Reduce risk of disease

  • Reduce back pain

AWESOME DESK - Bamboo Standing Desk (entry)

Great product, straightforward to install and really pleased with the finish.
Feels sturdy and is great to use!

Awesome desk, and super happy 🙂

Better than I’d envisaged . . .

Can’t complain about anything . . . great service. I managed to put the desk together myself following the tutorial online . . . (just got help to lift and turn it over). Great quality product . . . and the return options and warranty offered also give peace of mind. I would wholeheartedly recommend. And, I suspect there are other household members that are rather envious of the latest addition to my home office!

Great Desk

Really good desk, easy to setup, sturdy when at standing height.

I was under the impression that the app would schedule the desk to change, but it just seems to set a reminder, not a big deal. I'm also a little bit concerned about the cut out for the wireless charger (which I didn't opt for) it seems a bit thin and worried it might crack if I put too much pressure on it

Hi Hamish - thanks for your review. The app just provides scheduled reminders of when to stand and when to sit. For safety reasons we can't program it to auto raise and lower but with your 1 and 2 buttons it is only a once touch change. The wireless charger cut out is still 8mm thick and rest assured if it ever cracked we would fully replace the desk top for you (we haven't had to yet in 6 years)...

Frequently Asked Standing Desk Questions

How are standing desks good for you?

Standing desks offer several potential benefits for your health and productivity:

  1. Reduced Sedentary Behavior: Using a height adjustable desk encourages you to stand and move more throughout the day, reducing prolonged periods of sitting, which is associated with various health risks such as obesity, heart disease, and diabetes.

  2. Improved Posture: Standing desks can help improve your posture by reducing the likelihood of slouching or hunching over a desk, which can alleviate strain on your neck, shoulders, and back.

  3. Increased Energy and Alertness: Standing can help increase blood flow and circulation, leading to improved energy levels and increased alertness, which can enhance productivity and focus.

  4. Potential Calorie Burn: While standing burns more calories than sitting, the difference might not be significant. However, every bit of movement counts towards maintaining a healthier weight and lifestyle.

  5. Reduced Risk of Certain Health Conditions: Some studies suggest that using a sit stand desk may lower your risk of certain health conditions, including obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and even certain types of cancer.

  6. Improved Mood and Well-being: Standing desks may contribute to improved mood and overall well-being. Some users report feeling more engaged and positive when they have the option to stand while working.

  7. Customizable Ergonomics: Many height adjustable desks are adjustable in height, allowing you to find the optimal position for your body. Proper ergonomics can help reduce discomfort and prevent musculoskeletal issues associated with prolonged sitting or standing.

It’s important to note that standing all day isn’t necessarily the solution either; moderation is key. Alternating between sitting and standing, taking short breaks to stretch or walk, and maintaining good posture are essential for reaping the benefits of a sit stand desk while avoiding potential drawbacks like fatigue or discomfort. Which leads us to our next question and answer…

How much standing time should I have at my desk?

When using a sit stand desk, it’s generally recommended to alternate between standing and sitting throughout the day to avoid discomfort and fatigue. There isn’t a strict rule on how much time you should spend standing versus sitting, as it can vary depending on individual preferences, comfort levels, and physical condition. However, a common guideline is to aim for a 50/50 balance between standing and sitting.

Here are some general tips:

  1. Listen to your body: Pay attention to how your body feels when standing or sitting for extended periods. If you start to feel discomfort or fatigue, it’s a sign that you may need to switch positions.

  2. Alternate frequently: Try to switch between standing and sitting every 30 minutes to an hour. Set reminders or use a timer (our app can assist you with this) to help you remember to change positions regularly.

  3. Gradually increase standing time: If you’re new to using a standing desk, start by gradually increasing the amount of time you spend standing each day. Begin with shorter intervals and gradually work your way up to longer periods of standing as your body adjusts.

  4. Incorporate movement: Remember that standing doesn’t mean staying completely still. Incorporate gentle movements such as shifting your weight, stretching, or taking short walks to help reduce stiffness and improve circulation.

Ultimately, finding the right balance between standing and sitting at your height adjustable desk is a personal preference. Experiment with different durations and listen to your body to determine what works best for you.

Are there any downsides to height adjustable desks?

While height adjustable desks offer numerous benefits, including potential improvements in posture, energy levels, and overall health, there are also some downsides to consider:

  1. Discomfort: Standing for prolonged periods can lead to discomfort, fatigue, and even musculoskeletal issues if proper ergonomics are not maintained. This can include issues like foot pain, swollen ankles, and lower back discomfort.

  2. Initial Adjustment Period: Switching from a seated desk to a sit stand desk can take time for your body to adjust. Some people may experience fatigue or discomfort during the initial transition period.

  3. Risk of Varicose Veins: Although very rare, prolonged standing can increase the risk of developing varicose veins, especially if proper posture and movement are not maintained. Varicose veins occur when blood pools in the legs due to poor circulation, which can be exacerbated by prolonged standing.

  4. Not Suitable for Everyone: Standing desks may not be suitable for individuals with certain health conditions or mobility issues. It’s essential to consider individual needs and consult with a healthcare professional before transitioning to a standing desk full-time.

To mitigate these downsides, it’s important to use a sit stand desk in conjunction with regular movement breaks, proper ergonomic positioning, supportive footwear, and a balance between sitting and standing throughout the day. Additionally, incorporating anti-fatigue mats, footrests, or supportive footwear can help alleviate discomfort associated with prolonged standing.
