Joyce Contract Interiors – Modern Adjustable Height Desks

What Are the Ergonomic Benefits of a Height-Adjustable Desk?

A sedentary workstyle is an unhealthy one. A study from the American Cancer Society has shown a direct correlation between the amount of time people spend sitting and mortality rates.

Scientists, physicians, and health researchers agree: height-adjustable desks are good for your body. There are many advantages to combining sitting and standing postures during the work day, including:

• Increased energy, productivity, and stamina
• Decreased back and neck pain
• Elimination of carpal tunnel issues
• Weight-gain prevention – standing burns 2 to 3 times as many calories as sitting
• Reduction in heart disease and cancer risks
• Improved blood circulation

Height-Adjustable Bases

There are a number of different height-adjustable bases that are available. Most come with a keypad that is programmable with memory for 3-4 customized heights. Some come with a reminder function to help you stay on track with your standing goals.

Single Base

A single height-adjustable base is a perfect solution for any office with a small footprint. They can be used in a small area or in the corner of a room. They can also be used with a round, square, or curved corner worksurface.

2-stage Straight Base

These 2-stage straight height-adjustable bases are available with either a T-leg or a C-leg base. They can accommodate a straight worksurface from 24-36” deep by 42-84” wide. Base height ranges from 27.2” to 46.5”.

3-stage Straight Base

The 3-stage straight height-adjustable base is the same as the 2-stage straight height-adjustable base, except that its height has a wider range, from 23.6” to 49.2”

This type of height-adjustable base is used for a large workstation with an L-shape worksurface. The entire worksurface goes up at the same time.
