There is a strong rise in the sales of different solutions to allow you working stand. They are basically divided in two categories: standing desks and sit/stand devices, like the Humanscale Quickstand. They have both advantages and disadvantages.
Standing Desks
Advantages
- They give you a large surface to work with, either stand or sit.
- Depending of the model, you can lift it gently with a digital control
- While keep it stand there is a lot of activities you can do without sitting (check your mail, google something)
Disadvantages
- Good quality models tend to be expensive
- You have to get rid of your own desk, if you have one already
- Manual lift models are heavy to elevate and discourages the user to alternate the sit/stand cycles
Sit/Stand Devices (Humanscale Quickstand)
Advantages
- You can keep your own desk to keep working with it. It doesn’t matter the model.
- Its really simple and soft to lift and down (just hold the base gently with both hands)
- You have enough space to work with your keyboard, mouse pad, and hang some notebooks.
- Its more affordable than a whole desk.
Disadvantages
- Its total surface is smaller than a whole desk
- It can be expensive than a low-quality desk
As you can see, there are good advantages to keep Humanscale Quickstand over a Standing Desk. If you are in love with your desk, you won’t have to get rid of it, and for a more affordable price, you can get a very high-quality solution, with good space for work and with some extra, convenient tools to your reach.
