In Scandinavia it they have been around for a long time, NO not snow & ice....though we had our fair share of that this year!
.....But electrically height adjustable desks.
They have found that having a sit/stand option encourages the user away from the sedentary life of the office worker slouched in their chair, bent over a desk, to a more dynamic position which minimises any potential damage to the spine.
However these have always represented a significant capital outlay to a company or organisation-there is no way that everybody would be supplied with one of these in the office.
NEW for 2011 this ' crank handle operated' height adjustable desk is now on the market.
The desk conforms to all necessary British & European Standards for Strength, Durability asnd Stability as well as being compliant with the Disability Discrimination Act.
The rectangular straight desk comes in two sizes 1600x800mm and 1200x800mm and in Beech MFC finish.
(There is also a radial shape available but this is to Special Order only)
The desk height is easily adjustable from 660-960mm at any time during the working day by means of the simple hand crank mechanism.
The price is £560.00 for the 1600mm desk and £540.00 for the smaller 1200mm.
Not every task during a working day requires you to be seated- the more we move the better we feel!!
