Most of us are used to working at a standard office desk with a fixed height and position, but if you want more flexibility and comfort, it’s worth investing in a standing desk. After testing several different models, the biggest benefit quickly became clear: being able to switch between sitting and standing throughout the day has done wonders for my posture.
That’s been backed up by the research, with several studies suggesting it can reduce time spent sitting and even slightly increase calorie burn. But what surprised me most was the effect standing had on my concentration. Because I was already upright, I found I was less likely to drift away from my desk or interrupt my workflow, and felt more energised while working. Of course, standing all day isn’t realistic, which is why every desk in this guide can quickly move between sitting and standing heights.
