Top 7 Standing Desk Add-Ons that Will Elevate Your Standing Experience

New to standing more in the workplace? If you have recently replaced your traditional fixed desk with a standing desk and started building the habit of alternating between sitting and standing throughout your workday, good job! Practicing a healthier lifestyle at work will positively impact your overall health and wellbeing. 

An electric standing desk will make the shift between sitting and standing easy. A memory keypad will allow you to set your desired desk height and let you seamlessly move from sitting to standing position, and back, without interruption to the work you are doing. And with more natural movement added to your day, you can expect to do away with back pain, gain more energy at work, and enjoy long-term health benefits.

Being new in the sit-stand lifestyle, you may want to consider getting some add-ons that will help ease your transition to the lifestyle and make standing more an enjoyable experience. 

Accessories to Consider Pairing with Your Standing Desk

Check out the following add-ons and see which one might be beneficial for you:

Anti-Fatigue Mat

Standing on a cushioned, anti-fatigue mat will reduce strain on your feet and legs, providing comfort as you stand and allowing you to stand longer without getting easily tired. Invest in a mat with features such as knobs and ridges for added stimulation to your feet muscles.

Monitor Arm

A monitor arm readily installs into the desk and elevates your monitor, freeing some space on your desk. It will also allow you to easily position your screen at eye level, preventing neck strain and promoting proper posture. 

Ergonomic Mouse and Mousepad

Consider an ergonomic mouse that promotes a neutral hand position, one that will keep your hand comfortable as you use it alongside the keyboard. And for enhanced comfort, get a mousepad with wrist support to help prevent wrist fatigue.

Keyboard Tray

You can get a keyboard tray, also called adjustable keyboard stand, to give your keyboard its own place and ensure that it is at the correct height and angle. This will reduce strain on your wrists and prevent conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome.

Ergonomic Chair/Stool

While standing is beneficial, you have to recognize that you cannot do it continually throughout the day—you have to take a seat at some point to rest. And when you do, it’s essential to have a supportive chair or stool, one that will give you enough back support while ensuring that you remain active on your seat.

Cable Management Solutions

Keep your desk tidy and free from clutter due to stray cables and wires. Invest in the right cable management solution for you. The good news is that you will find different options when it comes to this. Choose from simple cable clips and cable sleeves to complete cable trays and cable management boxes.

Desk Organizer

A desk organizer will help you keep your files, stationery, and other office supplies neatly arranged and in their proper places, making it easier to find what you need while keeping your desk tidy and organized.

Are you ready for a complete workspace revamp? If you are, simply go through the above add-ons and check which one or two items you need for your space to pair with your standing desk. And just in case you are still shopping for a new desk, consider the MotionGrey selection of standing desks.

Jumpstart a Healthier Work Lifestyle with a MotionGrey Standing Desk

When it comes to standing desks, there is a wide range of options you can choose from. Choose a single-motor desk for your daily basic standing needs. If you want an improved experience, a desk that can carry more weight or respond faster to you, choose a dual-motor desk. However, if you are looking for more working surface or a desk fit for a limited space, consider an L-shaped desk. 

MotionGrey also offers standing desks with customized table top made from solid wood, as well as sustainable table tops made from recycled materials such as chopsticks. Whatever desk you choose, you can expect high quality and features that will definitely help you make the shift to more standing easy and fun.
