What is a sit-stand desk?
A sit-stand desk (also called a stand-up desk) is a desk which can be either manually or electronically adjusted to sitting or standing height to prevent problems associated with prolonged sitting.
We offer a number of stand-up desk shapes to suit different activities, including:
- ‘Writing shape’ – a straight-edged desk that supports the arms while typing at a computer
- ‘Stance shape’ – an angled section that allows you to move easily from computer work to paper work.
- ' Wave’, ‘Corner’ and ‘Cockpit’ shape – corner desks excellent for creating more space
Why buy a sit-stand desk?
Many studies show that sitting for more than 6 hours a day is linked to being overweight, obese, having type 2 diabetes, some types of cancer and even premature death
With technology such as computers, television and video consoles changing our work and leisure habits, it seems we’re spending increasing amounts of our lives sitting down.

- 112% increase in risk of diabetes
- 147% increase in cardiovascular events
- 90% increase in death caused by cardiovascular events
- 49% increase in death from any cause
