Can you get a prescription for a standing desk? A study published in the British Medical Journal also noted that standing desks have the ability to reduce tiredness among workers and boost productivity. Research shows that incorporating standing into the working day reduces back pain caused by prolonged sitting. There are a number of benefits associated with standing as opposed to sitting at a desk, particularly when it comes to your posture. It’s recommended that we should alternate between sitting and standing regularly, with research suggesting that you should spend one hour standing for every three hours spent sitting down.

There’s plenty of room on the waterproof top plate for exercise books and organisers, thanks to its 100cm x 60cm worktop dimensions, plus the desk also comes with some kid-friendly features – like a hook from which they can hang their schoolbag so that it’s easily accessible. This is thanks to a one-touch button that easily raises the table between heights that range from 77.5cm to 87.5cm. This Flexispot table features a similar mechanism to the company’s adult desks so your child can switch from sitting down in front of their homework to standing up for a spot of crafting without any hassle.

This is an expensive desk but it’s also supremely functional and impressively engineered and, again, it’s highly customisable – we specifically liked the under-table keyboard system, where the keyboard can be hidden away in a pull-out drawer to give you even more room on the desktop and reduce clutter when the desk isn’t in use. The range offered tops out at 120cm and the desk can support 58kg, but the float was absolutely solid at the top level and never moved even when we were leaning on it. The transition is smooth, strangely satisfying to operate and, most importantly, quick. Rather than motors, the float relies on a constant force spring and counterbalance mechanism to raise and lower the top plate over 50cm of height via a paddle placed just underneath the table. If you are one of those workers who are constantly up and down throughout your working day, then this table made from recyclable steel and aluminium has one of the fastest mechanisms on test. The legs are rounded for a more attractive look and the desktop itself has a nice, natural grain finish with eleven variations available to suit your home décor. There is also an anti-collision sensor when the table is on the move that will stop the table before it whacks your household pet on the head. There are plenty of other features that can be enabled from the keypad too, from locking the height so that it can’t be tampered with to fully lowering the table with one button press when you’re all finished for the day. The transition from sit to stand was smooth and quick, thanks to a dual-motor lifting system, and there are four pre-sets that you can programme in so that different household users can quickly and easily get to work at the desk at their required height. Dimensions wise, it’s 120-200cm in width x 60-80 cm in depth. Capable of supporting 125kg, you won’t have to worry about overloading even if you’ve got a multiple monitor set-up, and the table was still rock solid when raised to its highest limit. The lowest this desk will go is 62.5cm, which is great if you’re not super tall, and it raises to 128cm, so you’ll still be able to work ergonomically, even if you’re 6-foot plus. This minimalist desk with clean lines and plenty of desktop space is clearly made with work from homers in mind, as it combines one of the most efficient motorised mechanisms we tested with straightforward assembly, which won’t take more than an hour.
