Why choose an electric standing desk?

Research shows that when working from home we spend more time seated than we do in an office environment, so it's important to consider all the options to try to keep active. A key component of this can be the electric standing desk, and here at Alexander Green we have a brilliant selection of Zero dual motor desks available for next day delivery across the UK. The perfect entry level desk for all who require the flexibility of a varying height work surface, they're minimalistic in design and are available in a choice of frame and top colour options. All in all they're the ideal all-encompassing sit/stand desk solution. Not only that they're easy to assemble - or you can call for a quote for us to assemble and install for you - and we can also offer a discount when you buy five or more.

Electric standing desks have a number of benefits, including:

• after a meal, blood sugar levels return to normal faster when you spend more time standing
• standing, rather than sitting, can reduce the risk of shoulder and back pain
• long periods of sitting can lead to an increased risk of obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer
• standing desks can increase productivity by helping banish sluggishness
• standing desks are also more flexible, allowing each member of staff to set their optimum height rather than having a 'one height fits all' approach

As Lee Alexander, owner of Alexander Green Office Interiors, observes, thanks to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, attention is turning to employee wellbeing. 'With more and more people working from home because of coronavirus, companies are increasingly looking at how to set their teams up to work efficiently and healthily away from the office,' says Lee. 'We're receiving lots of enquiries for work from home office furniture, and that is increasingly including electric standing desks. We're big fans of standing desks as we believe they help to keep your energy levels up and enable you to avoid that sluggish seated feeling, especially after eating. Whenever we receive a new furnituire enquiry we always float the idea of swapping the traditional desk for a standing alternative as the health benefits are overwhelming.'
