Understanding Height Adjustable Desks

What Are They?

Height adjustable desks—also known as sit-stand desks—allow users to alternate between sitting and standing throughout the day. With the push of a button or a quick manual adjustment, these desks help create a dynamic and adaptable workspace that supports healthier work habits.

Manual vs Electric Options

workfurniture offers both manual and electric height adjustable desks. Electric models provide smoother transitions with programmable settings, while manual versions offer affordability and reliability without compromising on flexibility.

Why More Kiwis Are Switching to Sit-Stand Desks

Work-from-Home Trends

The pandemic shifted many New Zealanders into home-based work setups, revealing just how crucial comfortable, ergonomic furniture can be. Height adjustable desks have become a staple in home offices across the country.

Corporate Wellbeing Initiatives

Progressive NZ businesses are investing in employee health. Introducing sit-stand desks into office environments has proven to reduce absenteeism and improve morale—making them an integral part of wellbeing strategies.

Health Benefits of Height Adjustable Desks

Reduced Back and Neck Strain

One of the main reasons people seek alternatives to traditional desks is physical discomfort. Switching between sitting and standing alleviates pressure on the spine, reducing chronic back and neck issues caused by prolonged sitting.

Improved Posture and Circulation

Standing periodically throughout the day encourages better posture and improved blood flow. It also reduces the risk of conditions associated with sedentary lifestyles, such as varicose veins and circulation-related fatigue.

Combatting the Risks of Prolonged Sitting

Sitting for hours on end has been linked to increased risk of obesity, heart disease, and diabetes. Height adjustable desks empower users to incorporate movement into their day, counteracting these health risks naturally.

Boosting Focus and Energy at Work

Better Concentration

Standing can increase mental alertness and reduce the mid-afternoon slump that often hits desk workers. It encourages subtle body movements that promote oxygen flow to the brain, helping keep thoughts crisp and focus sharp.

Reduced Fatigue Levels

Alternating between positions prevents stiffness and fatigue. Employees report feeling more energised and productive when they can move freely throughout the day.
