The office landscape has seen a major transformation with the rise of standing desks. No longer just a passing trend, these desks are revolutionizing how we work and think about our health. So, what's the big deal? Let’s dive into the standing desk movement and see how they compare to traditional sit-down setups.
What Are Standing Desks?
Standing desks, also known as height-adjustable desks, let you switch between sitting and standing throughout the day. Many models are highly adjustable, making it easy to move between postures and stay comfortable and productive.
