Standing Desks

Q: Do standing desks need to be plugged in?

Most motorised stand up desks require an outlet for electricity to raise and lower the work surface.

Q: How long can you stand at a standing desk?

Most health professionals in Australia recommend people should be standing for at least 30 minutes per hour. This means you can essentially stand upright for as long as you want, be it at the office or working from home.

The unnatural position our bodies are in when sitting at a desk or a chair inspired furniture designers to create standing desks. These desks keep our neck and shoulders in a natural position while forcing us to keep our legs working, providing great posture and health benefits over time. ArchiPro features only the best standing desks from trusted suppliers in Australia.

Featuring the best standing desks in Australia

ArchiPro has meticulously picked some of the best standing desks in Australia from leading suppliers. Whether it’s a sleek, contemporary desk you’re after or more of a statement piece, there’s something for everyone. Growing in popularity, there are many different types to choose from including fixed or static desks to portable stand up desks. They are an important part of a wider collection of high quality office furniture available on ArchiPro.

Types of standing desks

Fixed or static desks

This type of desk is fixed at a specific height. They are typically the most affordable types in Australia and are good for those that are fine with the fixed height.

Manual sit-stand desks

These are height-adjustable standing desks that can switch between sitting and standing positions, manually operated by the individual.

Electric standing desks

Electric models are an excellent option with the convenience of operating your height-adjustable desk at the touch of a button. An electric motor provides height adjustment quickly and easily.

Standing desk converters

Converters turn conventional desks into office standing desks by sitting on the tabletop of the desk with an adjustable platform that can be raised or lowered.

Portable stand up desks

These small standing desks can be easily moved around the office or home for those who need to quickly move from one place to another.

The advantages of high-quality standing desks

The aforementioned negative side effects of sitting down for long periods of time make these a great alternative to traditional office desks if posture is a concern for you. Sitting while simultaneously looking down at a screen puts major stress on the soft tissue around our spines which may lead to pain over time. The option to stand ensures our spines are elongated throughout our workday, greatly reducing the pressure that is placed on our sensitive necks and backs. High quality options are rigorously tested to maximise all the benefits that they’re designed for. They also tend to feature more aesthetically pleasing designs, seamlessly fitting into the modern office environment in Australia.

How to choose a standing desk that’s right for you

It’s important to consider how much space you need and whether you want the flexibility to adjust your desk height at will. If you’re someone who would like a computer desk that can easily transition between sitting and standing heights—an electric option would be an excellent choice for you. If this easy transition isn’t a concern, and you primarily want to be standing, a permanent stand up desk would be the ideal. If your office is one that is regularly mobile, regularly changing configurations or locations, than portable standing desks make the most sense.

What is a 3 stage standing desk?

3-stage models have a wider range of lifting space (by around 30%). This wider range allows people of different heights to easily adjust the height of the desk to suit.
