First of all, let's look at some reports about standing desk.
Now, more and more workplaces are adopting standing desks. While it’s nothing new — Charles Dickens, Thomas Jefferson, Winston Churchill, and Ernest Hemingway all reportedly wrote while standing up — there’s been a rise in standing desks over the past decade. As workplaces have become more focused on employee wellness, and the dangers of sitting for long periods — even if you exercise — have become more widely recognized, companies like Microsoft MSFT, +3.33%, Facebook US: FB and Alphabet’s GOOGL, +3.78% GOOG, +3.84% Google have provided adjustable desks for workers to sit or stand at. In fact, Apple’s AAPL, -0.19% Tim Cook announced last year that all 12,000 employees at the iPhone maker’s new Apple Park headquarters would be given standing desks.
About 44% of the companies surveyed by the Society for Human Resource Management now either provide or subsidize standing desks for their employees, which is a three-fold increase since 2013. And the global standing-desk market is expected to reach $2.8 billion by 2025, according to Acute Market Reports, which notes that it’s not rising faster because the desks’ “additional cost hampers market growth.”
Indeed, Steve Robertson, the CEO of the small software company Eventective, Inc. in Maine, spent about $24,000 to replace his 20 employees’ traditional desks with standing LifeDesks, which ran about $1,100 a piece. They also required adding specialized standing mats ($20 apiece) at each station to make being on their feet more comfortable.
The standing desk is not a new thing. Let's see what it is?
At present, the standing desks in the market are mainly divided into manual standing desks and electric standing desks. As the name implies, the manual standing desk needs to adjust the height of the office desk by yourself, while the electric desk is more intelligent. You can adjust the height of the desk to your desired height by pressing the key beside the table.
