Standing Desks

A standing desk — also called a height-adjustable or sit-stand desk — allows you to raise or lower the desk surface so you can work comfortably while standing or sitting. Electric models adjust at the touch of a button, while manual models use a hand crank or lever mechanism.

Standing desks help reduce the health risks associated with prolonged sitting, including back pain, poor posture, and fatigue. Alternating between sitting and standing throughout the day can improve energy levels, focus, and overall wellbeing — making them popular for home offices and remote workers.

When standing, your desk should be at elbow height — typically between 95cm and 115cm depending on your height. When sitting, the desk should allow your elbows to rest at a 90-degree angle with your feet flat on the floor. Most electric standing desks allow you to save preset heights for quick adjustment.

We stock both electric and manual standing desks. Electric models adjust smoothly at the touch of a button and are ideal for frequent height changes throughout the day. Manual models are more affordable and suit those who adjust their desk height less often.

For a single monitor setup, a standing desk of 120cm wide is generally sufficient. For dual monitors or a larger workstation, look for a desk of 140cm or wider. Always check the product dimensions and weight capacity to ensure it suits your equipment and available space.
