We have designed a wide range of sit-stand desks that provide unique solutions to almost every computer desk set up. They are available in a variety of sizes, shapes and features with something to suit everyone.
This model, the DM05D14 is a 2-in-1 model, which incorporates a desk surface with a monitor bracket, both of which are independently height adjustable. The desk surface is is an ample size to accomodate either a laptop or a keyboard and mouse.
The monitor arm has a VESA bracket can hold a computer screen between 13”-27” with VESA 100/75 mounting holes. The bracket can tilt 15°, swivel 15°and rotate 360° allowing the user to view the screen vertically as well as horizontally.
The DM05D14 is a smaller-sized desk surface, almost rectangular in shape, with straight sides and curved front edge for added comfort.
The desk surface measures 65 x 51cm and has a bevelled edge for added wrist comfort when typing.
Additionally, this desktop has the added feature of a cup holder to help keep your desk tidy and clutter-free.
The footprint of this workstation is narrower than the desktop measuring approximately 50 x 40 cm, so when checking that your current desk can accommodate the DM05D14, be sure to check both the footprint size as well as the desk size.
This desk can be adjusted to any height between 7cm up to 44cm. When the desk is lifted higher or lower, the monitor will move and adjust accordingly with it.
The DM05D14 has an integrated monitor mount arm with a VESA 75/100 mounting bracket. It can hold one screen up to 13-27 inches in size, weighing no more than 8kg. The VESA bracket head can rotate 360° which enables the user to position their screen horizontally or vertically.
The whole desk can be easily adjusted by hand using the lever on the side of the desk. Simply grasp the side edge and squeeze the lever; then while holding the lever down, move the desk to your desired height and then release the lever when you have found the right height.
The monitor bracket can also be adjusted by using a small lever on the back of the bracket.
A growing problem in the workplace, and even at home, is the stark rise in inactivity over recent years. Modern conveniences contribute to this; for instance, using transport, escalators or elevators means that we walk much less than we used to. This is not to mention the facility to shop online; with a few clicks of a mouse, anything you want to buy is delivered to you, which conveniently saves you the trouble of having to walk to the shops to buy what you need. Whilst these everyday conveniences are great at making mundane tasks easier to do, they also encourage us to be lazier and move much less than ever before.
One of the most significant contributors to our increase in inactivity is how many of us are now working behind a desk of some sort. Many jobs are becoming more office-based, with employees sat behind a computer screen for hours-on-end with no incentive to get up and move.
Sitting at work more than seven hours a day can greatly affect your health. Many people struggle being sat at an office desk for this long length of time, it often leaves them feeling lethargic, achy and stiff. If you are not seated properly, with a good posture, then the effects of poor seated posture can also result in long-term health problems with the neck and spine.
It can become an issue for employers too; if employees work in a sedentary state, they can become less productive throughout the day when early tiredness kicks in, which results in loss of concentration and focus.
Using an adjustable sit-stand desk can do wonders for your health; it can increase your energy levels, burn calories, promote a better quality of sleep, improve blood circulation and even muscle tone. It can also improve glucose and insulin levels. In the workplace, a standing desk can benefit you in a lot of ways too. Studies show that employees will experience higher levels of concentration, vigilance and accuracy which can only be a good thing for their working performance. Compared to their fellow seated employees they were better at decision making, had better judgement and problem-solving skills. The advantage of an adjustable desk is that you can choose to alternate between sitting and standing, meaning you will always be able to find a comfortable position to work in no matter what mood you are in.
