If you want to improve your health or just be more active, making the switch to a standing desk can be a great way to shake up your workday whether you’re working from home or have already returned to the office. This is because humans just aren’t designed to remain sitting for long periods of time. In fact, the damage done from sitting at a desk all day is even hard to reverse with regular exercise. Based in the City of Industry in southern California, ApexDesk was founded by several self-proclaimed computer geeks who spent way too much time at their desks in front of a computer. It was then that the company’s founders began looking at adjustable desks that would allow them to easily switch from a seated to a standing position. However, at the time, even manual standing desks with a crank cost over $700. By tapping into their connections and partnering with Danish designers, ApexDesk’s founders were able to create a series of affordable ergonomic desks. In this review, we’ll be t...

Remaining seated at your desk all day has been shown to have negative effects on your health whether you’re working from home or have already returned to the office. This is why many have turned to standing desks which allow them to work from a seated position and then quickly raise their desk to a standing position at a moment’s notice. Founded in 1982 by Harry Sweere, Ergotron created some of the first ergonomic tilt stands, mounting arms and desk stands. In addition to designing computer workstations based on ergonomic principles and scientific anthropometric data for more than 20 years, Sweere has also written several academic papers on ergonomics. From the company’s name alone, it’s clear that ergonomics plays a big role in all of Ergotron’s products. Today Ergotron makes a wide variety of desks from mobile desks used in classrooms and hospitals to wall desks for those with less space as well as full desks. In this review we’ll be taking a closer look at the WorkFit-D Sit-Sta...

With the release of its latest Toughbook, Panasonic has taken the difficulty out of having to choose between a rugged tablet or a rugged laptop . While the company’s Toughbook A3 rugged tablet runs Android, the Toughbook G2 is a versatile 2-in-1 that runs Windows 10 but will be upgradable to Windows 11 when the next version of Microsoft’s operating system releases this year. Although Android can be simpler to use, field workers often rely on Windows to access and run legacy software needed to do their jobs. Another upside to the Toughbook G2 is the addition of an optional keyboard dock that transforms the tablet into a laptop while adding extra USB ports. Panasonic has also designed its new keyboard dock in such a way that the tablet’s speakers and customizable buttons remain accessible. The Toughbook G2 is the predecessor to two devices: the Toughbook 20 released in 2013 and the Toughbook G1 released in 2016. Organizations that previously used either of the two devices are in l...

Working in a seated position all day long has been proven to have negative effects on your health which is why more office workers and even those working from home have decided to upgrade their workspaces with a standing desk . With an electric standing desk, you can easily move from sitting down to a standing position with just the push of a button. After working in the commercial real estate industry for years and furnishing dozens of offices, Greg Hayes set out to simplify the process of purchasing high quality office furniture by starting his own direct-to-enterprise office furniture company originally called Bureau in 2018 that was later renamed to Branch . While the original iteration of the company grew rapidly and succeeded in completing installations across the US and Canada, enterprise office furniture sales began to dry up at the beginning of the pandemic. For this reason, Branch made the shift to becoming a direct-to-consumer business and these efforts have paid off well...

We recently reviewed the Vari Standing Desk and today we’ll be looking at the company’s Electric Standing Desk.
