Also: don't get a manual standing desk with a hand crank. You won't use it since putting it up for 1min will be to much of a hassle (speaking from first hand experience 😅)
One very important thing is the minimum height of the desk surface. In many cases it is too high for short users. Same goes also with too low maximum height for tall users. Those features vary substantially between different manufacturers and models.
Absolutely! I bought an Autonomous on a friend's recommendation. Its minimum height is 29.5", which is too high to use as a standing desk for anyone under about 6'2".
@@mikelward I'm not following. I'm 6 feet, and 29 inches is halfway up my thighs - around where my hands are if let the fall to the sides while standing up. That would be much, much too low for me as a standing desk. It's even slightly too low for me sitting down.
Yeah, I’m with MP… I’m not following. These desks are made to be used for both sitting and standing. I’m having hard time believing any of these desks wouldn’t go low enough for just about anyone to stand while using it.
@@tili_ Yes, and for shorter users the minimum height of the table is too high for sitting position. So each user should know if a certain model/make has a suitable height range for his/her case.
Love your video. I have been scouring the web to find a power sit-stand frame that would support a table top 24" deep and 28" wide, as my work space is extremely limited, not allowing for a table top any wider than 28". I am very surprised that no company makes a pair of dual-power stand-alone legs that have no center cross brace, or at least a center brace that is adjustable from 24 or 26 inches wide up to say 36".
What would be the best desk between rubberwood desk vs bamboo desk ,desk laminate ,Hardwood desk ,Softwood desk? Right now my choice would be Rubberwood
Bruh you must be slaying. That combined with fitness especially 🤣 Honestly you might end up needing both a standing desk combined with a standing desk converter lol
@@AlexSuperTramp- don't think it as sitting vs standing. It's being motionless vs moving. If you are standing but you are not actually moving (which what happens when you are working) then there isn't much difference between sitting and standing. These are kinda proven with medical studies. I'm saying kinda because medical studies are still far from complete and quite contradictory regarding health benefits of sitting vs standing. What doctors agree on is that best method is to move. Walk around, strech, do yoga poses as you work. Some sort of movement in every 20 mins is the advice. I don't have a standing desk, but been searching and watching medical channels (of actual doctors) regarding the benefits. But precise height adjustment for elbow and wrists, plus moving around is easier when you are standing might make standing desks more desirable.
@SIG and it will cause other problems. Instead of trying to prove someone online. Go and read medical studies that have been done on this. You are looking at a single problem that is caused by inactivity. This is done to mitigate a medical problem and you say this has nothing to do with medicine 😂
Yes, please bring more content about standing desks, as I am very interested in purchasing one. Is one's height a factor in the type of standing desk one should purchase? I don't remember if you touched on that in this video.
Height is a factor and something you should consider when purchasing a new standing desk. This isn't something covered in the video, but we do have a calculator you can use to determine the proper standing height: bit.ly/30VVKFa. If you have any questions related to height and selection, I would be happy to help. - GK
I've recently turned down a job offer as a sales agent for Google. Very well paid. But... I can never be what I do not like seeing in others. For example this guy here, he's talking to sell. And I can hear so much bull from him that I'm outraged. I'd rather die poor than be one of these people.
Talking to sell isn't so bad, but it does have to be done the right way. I watch a channel called JetPens which imports a lot of stationary (stationery?) mostly from Japan, but they have some stuff from Korea, Hong Kong and Germany as well (and I'm sure a few other countries, though the bulk of it is Japanese). Their videos are advertisements, of course, but they show the practicality of the items, such as a heavier mechanical pencil that is good for those who get hand cramps from pressing too hard with a pencil. I indeed do get hand cramps and write too hard, so I got the pencil and it definitely is now my favorite of any I've owned. Another video talked about lead breaking with pencils and suggested a pencil that has a small cone that sheaths the lead as you write, making it harder to snap the lead. I got that one, too, and I'm quite impressed with it. I know when I watch their videos, they're selling me on something, but the hosts of the videos are genuine fans of stationery and the items the website has, but will also be honest if it's better to go with a brand of something not on their website for a certain need. They come across as friends as opposed to pushy salespeople and this has garnered them a lot of respect and trust. For you as a salesman, if you weren't in love with Google, it would've been really difficult to be a salesperson for them. It would've only been a job, but not one that you loved. The JetPens people truly love what they're selling (most of their employees were already customers, which is awesome), so that's why the community doesn't mind that they're "talking to sell" to us.
If you order directly from the desk/frame maker - they often provide an option to add casters through their order process. However, the same desk ordered through an online marketplace like Amazon rarely offer these options unless included as part of the package.

Can you please do a review on the 15 in 1 sit stand desk on kickstarter?
Also: don't get a manual standing desk with a hand crank. You won't use it since putting it up for 1min will be to much of a hassle (speaking from first hand experience 😅)
Which one do you have? Flexispot H2?
@@carlosromero5564 No, one from ikea
u just lazy bro
As soon as I noticed a crank on a desk the first time, my reaction was... "Yeah right... f. that!" 😂

What are people putting on their desk that weighs 100 pounds?
secretary

I think Herman Millet has an extended size, but not sure.

I wud love to have this much height
I will love to hear your thoughts on the Wynwood modular standing desk.
"The health benefits of using a standing desk is no longer debatable" - actually the health benefits, if any, are far from clear.
Honestly, what really matters is the ability to move around. Standing desks don't really have much more benefit if you're standing largely motionless.
I don't understand how sitting 8 hours every day would be equal to a mix of sitting and standing.
Yup. Seems like moving around, neither sitting nor standing still, is best. And really, isn't being active more fun than being still anyway?

I just got my desk today have not assembled it just yet. the only thing I wish was better was more width room
What width did you get? Has it worked out alright?
Do these desks come standard with the option to add casters or just specific makers/models?
If you order directly from the desk/frame maker - they often provide an option to add casters through their order process. However, the same desk ordered through an online marketplace like Amazon rarely offer these options unless included as part of the package.
The bigger the better
Do not forget to go to toilet before assembling the desk.
dope
Is this the same guy that does those funny Boston accent commercials?
