Imagine an ordinary working day: you sit at the computer, stress and fatigue accumulate little by little, and your body suffers silently. Do you feel it every day? This begs the question: are desks with electronic height adjustment really just another marketing ploy or a really worthwhile investment in your health and productivity? Time to find out the truth.
Advantages of adjustable tables with scientific facts
According to research:
A typical office worker spends 73% of their working day sitting. Moreover, 66% of his active day is also spent on a chair. As a result, stress on the spine, reduced mobility and the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases.
According to the American Heart Association, sedentary jobs have increased by 83% since 1950. Today, 80% of occupations are sedentary or require minimal activity.
Back in 2013, only 13% of employers offered standing desks to employees. Today, that number has grown to 44%, which shows the popularity of this approach to the workplace.
Benefits for the spine
Sitting for long periods of time takes a toll on your spine. This can lead to the development of osteochondrosis, poor posture and chronic back pain. Tables with electronic height adjustment allow alternating sitting and standing positions, which reduces the load on the spine. When you stand, your muscles work harder and your spine is supported by the body's natural balance. This helps to reduce the risk of lower back and neck pain, improve your posture and overall health of your spine.
Do standing desks really help you burn calories?
Research shows that:
While sitting, a person burns about 80 calories per hour.
While standing - 88 calories. Yes, the difference is small, but in the long run these numbers become significant.
How do standing desks contribute to health?
When people start using adjustable desks, they not only stand more, they also move more. According to a University of Iowa study, employees who used adjustable desks stood 60 minutes longer and walked an additional 6 minutes each day. This allowed them to burn 87 more calories per day.
Adjustable tables help not only to maintain weight, but also have a positive effect on metabolism, lower blood sugar, improve hormonal background and general health.
Shocking facts about the negative impact of sitting
Excessive sitting may be responsible for more than 430,000 deaths annually.
A sedentary lifestyle increases the risk of premature death by 10-20%, according to a study in the American Journal of Public Health.
That is why more and more doctors, including vertebrologists, physiotherapists and other health care professionals, recommend using tables with electronic height adjustment. This is not a temporary fad, but a real step on the way to proactive health care.
Frames for tables with electronic height adjustment: options and choices
When you choose a table with electronic height adjustment, it is important to pay attention not only to the tabletop, but also to the frame - the base that ensures stability and smoothness of lifting. We offer several frame options, each of which meets different requirements and tasks. Let's consider how to choose the right frame for your table.
Number of supports: 2, 3 or 4?
Double-hinged frames are suitable for standard work tables and compact options for the home office. They are lightweight, stable and strong enough for most office tasks.
Tri-support frames are great for corner tables or large work surfaces. They provide additional stability and evenly distribute the weight over the entire area.
Four-support frames are maximum stability and support for large and heavy worktops. This option is ideal for professional workplaces where additional stability is important.
Number of engines: 1, 2, 3 or 4?
Single motor frames are an economical solution for those looking for an affordable option with basic features. They are suitable for small tables and provide a smooth lift.
Dual motor frames are popular for their stability and even lift. They are ideal for medium-sized tables.
Three-motor and four-motor frames are used for large and heavy worktops. They guarantee a smooth and fast ascent, even with a significant load.
Warranty and certification
We offer a 5-year warranty on all our frames, giving you peace of mind for years to come. All our frames have quality certificates including ROHS, CE, FCC, RCM, which guarantee the safety, environmental friendliness and reliability of the products.
How to choose the right frame?
When choosing a frame, it is important to consider the size and weight of the tabletop, the required stability and lifting speed. For most home offices, a two- or three-motor frame with two motors will do, while for professional workstations or large corner desks, a more powerful three- or four-motor frame is better.
Tabletop materials for height-adjustable tables
*Particleboard (chipboard) is an economical and practical option. Such a tabletop is resistant to scratches and wear, but requires careful care with high loads.
*MDF (fine fraction) is a denser and stronger material than chipboard. It is distinguished by good durability and high resistance to damage.
*HPL + plywood – a combination of modern technologies and natural materials. HPL (high pressure laminate) provides high resistance to mechanical influences, while plywood adds natural strength and aesthetics.
*Natural wood (ash, walnut, oak) is a premium choice for those who value natural beauty and reliability. We offer countertops with a thickness of 20 and 40 mm from various types of wood. Ash has a beautiful texture, walnut is dark and stylish, and oak is a classic of strength and durability.
Ergonomic solutions
Ergonomic cutout: Many of our worktops have a special cutout for a more comfortable position of the hands and body during work. This allows you to reduce the load on your shoulders and back, which is important for long-term work at a desk.
Table tilt: Some models are equipped with a table tilt function, which is especially convenient for creative professions or working with drawings. This contributes to better ergonomics and reduces strain on the neck and eyes.
