ERGONOMICS AND
QUICK ADJUSTMENT

What is the best desk height for my height?

Quick adjustment
... it makes changing position as easy
as getting up from a chair

Ergonomics has long been central to the LEUWICO philosophy, with our motto ʻEvery person is uniqueʼ guiding our quest to provide our customers with a workspace that suits them perfectly. Humans arenʼt designed to sit at a desk all day but thatʼs the reality for many office workers. The result is often muscle pain and fatigue which leads to reduced concentration and efficiency. Being able to move from sitting to standing while working can make the difference. As can having a desk that you can adjust to your height.

An adjustable sit-stand desk is the answer, and as we know from experience – the easier and faster the adjustment, the more the user will change positions.

No one wants to spend ages turning a crank by hand to raise their desk to a standing position. Thatʼs why we developed the H2 manual rapid adjustment mechanism which makes shifting position as easy and standing up from your chair. Just as you would adjust an office chair, you can adjust your desk in an instant. No motor means no need for an electric outlet and no maintenance.

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO CONSIDER WHEN PLANNING YOUR ERGONOMIC OFFICE SPACE?

Before you start, let’s take a look at what you need to know when buying office furniture.  

  1. How much space do you have for your office?
  2. Do you have a separate room for your office, or will it be integrated into a bedroom, living room, or kitchen?
  3. Do you have a simple sketch of the room to help plan your office?
  4. What existing office furniture do you want to incorporate?
  5. Which new furniture will you need?
  6. Where will you put devices such as printers, scanners, etc.?
  7. Can you quickly go from desk to printer?
  8. How will you integrate technical equipment, and do you need storage space?
  9. What is your budget for a sit-stand desk and other furniture?

WHAT’S THE RIGHT WAY TO USE A SIT-STAND DESK?

Some people think that if they have a height-adjustable desk, they should stand all day.

Wrong!

It’s better to change your working position regularly than to stay in one position for hours. An ideal workday would be 60% sitting, 30% standing, and 10% moving around the office. Using Bluetooth headphones for phone calls, for example, enables you to stroll around the office when on a call.
