Standing desks have become increasingly popular because standing while you are working can offer you numerous health benefits. When it comes to shopping for a standing desk, there are some features that you should be on the lookout for.
Adjustability
One of the most defining features of a standing desk is the ability to adjust the height. You want to be able to change it so that it is at the right height for you. You may want to stand at your desk for a few hours, sit on a yoga ball for another couple of hours, and sit at a chair for a few hours as well. You don't have to stand for eight hours at a standing desk; you want one that allows you to sit and stand throughout the day. An adjustable desk will be more functional.
Memory Height & Syncing
When looking at which standing desk is right for you, you need to consider how you can adjust it. Some desks have hand-cranks that allow you to adjust the height manually. Other desks have an electrical component that will enable you to adjust the height with the push of a button.
With an electoral adjustable desk, you want to look for one that has memory height or buttons so that it can remember your preferred settings. You also want a desk that syncs, which means it will ensure that the height is the same on both sides of the desk, allowing for an even work surface.
Cable Support
With your desk, you are more than likely going to have devices with cords on it, such as a light or a computer and monitor. That is why you are going to want to look for a desk with a cable management system. With a cable management system, there is a simple hole in place so that you can run your cables through the hole and down to the outlet. Some desks may have a more complex cable support system via a cable tray.
Weight Support
Finally, you need to consider how much weight the desk can support. You need to ensure that it can support everything you want to put on your desk, from speakers to desktop computers and other paraphernalia.
When shopping for a standing desk, look for an adjustable one, has memory height and sync settings, offers cable support, and can handle the weight of everything you put on your desk. Contact a local furniture store, such as Amish Country Furniture Sales, to look for a stand up desk for your home.
