Welcome back to Developer’s At Home, a blog series focused on ergonomics and the benefits of using a standing desk for web developers. In our previous blog post, we introduced the concept of standing desks and explored their benefits. In this blog post, we’ll be taking a closer look at the different types of standing desks available.
There are several types of standing desks to choose from, each with their own unique features and benefits. Here are a few of the most popular types:
- Fixed-height standing desks: These are the most basic type of standing desk and are typically the most affordable option. As the name suggests, they are fixed at one height and cannot be adjusted. While this might not be the most comfortable option for everyone, they are a good choice for those who want a simple, no-frills standing desk.
- Adjustable standing desks: These desks are designed to be adjustable, allowing you to switch between sitting and standing throughout the day. They typically have a lever or button that allows you to easily adjust the height of the desk. Adjustable standing desks are a good choice for those who want the flexibility to switch between sitting and standing.
- Desk converters: Desk converters are a great option for those who already have a desk and don’t want to replace it. They are essentially a platform that sits on top of your existing desk and can be adjusted to the desired height. Desk converters are a good choice for those who want the benefits of a standing desk without the cost of purchasing a new one.
- Treadmill desks: Treadmill desks, as the name suggests, are standing desks that are combined with a treadmill. These desks allow you to walk while you work, which can help to improve your health and productivity. Treadmill desks are a good choice for those who want to be active while they work.
In the next blog post, we’ll be comparing the pros and cons of each type of standing desk to help you choose the best one for your needs. Stay tuned!
