Trendy office furniture: the standing desk

Your body will thank you and your productivity will increase

Most people sit at a desk all day. Then they get in their cars and maybe spend some more time at the computer or in front of the TV in the evening. Most of the things we do, we do sitting down! So it's no wonder that back pain is a widespread ailment. Think about how many hours you actually spend in a position other than sitting Once you think about it, it sends a shiver down your spine. Exercise is, of course, the number one remedy. But it's not always possible to fit exercise into our daily routine, and even if we manage to squeeze in a workout, we still spend most of the day sitting down. Maybe we should just rethink things and not spend our working hours sitting down, but standing up for part of the time! Working while standing is good for the body and at the same time promotes creativity and gives you new energy. A height-adjustable desk is exactly the right alternative. It may feel a little strange at first, and your colleague next door may look at you skeptically, but the standing desk is simply a great invention that belongs in every office.
