Flow. The word connotes connection, agility, and forward motion. It’s how we want our bodies to move and our minds to think. No ungreased hinges, no writer’s block, no stiff and aching joints.

Imagine if you could truly flow while working, with an outpouring of ideas and completed tasks and a stream of benefits for your physical and mental well-being.

Imagine if the picture of a worker sitting stuck, hunched over a desk transforms into one of fluidity, where the desk adapts to his needs and the workday flows with action and progress.

This isn’t a dream. It’s now. Adjustable height desks are changing work-spaces for the better with benefits to physical health, mental well-being, and workplace productivity.

1. Increased Mobility While Working

Sitting for a long time feels uncomfortable. And it should. Our bodies aren’t meant to sit and stare and paperwork and screens for hours and hours; they are meant to stand and move.

In fact, there are significant risks associated with sitting too much, including obesity, increased blood pressure, and high blood sugar levels, not to mention the physical discomfort of immobile muscles and joints.

An adjustable height desk seamlessly transitions from a level for relaxed sitting to a level for comfortable standing, and everywhere in between. You don’t have to choose one position; as your body craves movement, you can sit, stand, lean, or lounge without changing your location or reorganizing your work surface.

2. Improved Sense of Well-Being

When sitting is your only option while working, it’s easy to feel like a captive in your workspace. Consider the stress and fatigue of feeling chained to one position throughout the day, and appearing unproductive if you take a break to stand or stretch.

It’s no wonder that adjustable height desks improve the well-being of their users. You no longer have to force your body and mind to fit a sitting model, or even a standing one. You can change your desk when needed.

Your office furniture becomes a tool that you can shape and utilize to keep your body and mind feeling fresh. Your desk adapts to you, and you feel less stuck, less stressed, and less fatigued.

3. Flexibility for Your Work Style

For a while, standing desks were sort of the thing. But truthfully, even though their users don’t have to sit to work anymore, they also don’t have much flexibility.

Different desk heights are beneficial for different scenarios. With an adjustable height desk, you can stand at a relatively high surface while using your computer, lean over a slightly lower desk while writing or drafting by hand, meet with clients at a comfortably seated height, and brainstorm with colleagues anywhere in between.

Office Furniture America has the flexible work surfaces you need for your changing work styles. Our standing desks offer manual or electric height adjustability to suit your productivity needs.

When you’re ready to sit, stand, or something in between, visit Office Furniture America to find a desk that will always work for your physical health, mental well-being, and productivity style.
