ergonomic desks
Studies have proven that alternating between sitting and standing throughout the day can help increase productivity, boost your mood, improve health, and reduce back pain. That’s why ergonomic, height-adjustable desks are a more popular office feature than ever, backed by a growing body of endorsements from medical professionals.
With many of us spending one third (or more!) of each regular day at our desks, it’s important to create the most ergonomic and comfortable work environment possible. Our ergonomic office chairs offer you complete adjustability and good lumbar support. However, health professionals suggest that sitting too much, no matter how ergonomic your chair, is also seriously bad for your health. Fortunately, a height-adjustable desk or standing desk converter can help negate the harmful effects of sitting for too long, and has a number of impressive health and productivity benefits.

What Makes an ergonomic office desk
When considering your new office desk, pay careful attention to the following :
Easy Adjustment
Like your office chair, you want complete adjustability in dynamically changing your desk height throughout the day, something not immediately possible with a traditional office desk. The way in which you raise your computer equipment (monitors, keyboard, mouse, etc.) needs to be as ergonomically efficient as possible, and not place any extra strain on your back.
Stability
Ensure that the construction of the desk is robust and will not rock when working on it. This is especially important when desks are raised to accommodate a standing posture. We prefer the sturdy T-style legs seen on Vari® desks, which provide total working stability at any height.
Ergonomic interface
At whatever heights you use your desk, you want to ensure that the angle between forearm and upper arm is maintained at 90 to 110 degrees, and that your upper arms remain in line with your torso.
