A non-height-adjustable desk is not a dream setup.

It depends on the person. Last time I had a height adjustable desk, once the novelty wore off in the first week, it stayed in the sitting position all the time. Other people I’ve worked with have left theirs in the standing position all the time. In an office full of them, I can’t remember a single person who adjusted their desk on a regular basis. I’m sure these people exist, but they seem rare.

  • You don’t have to use a standing position for the height-adjustability to be useful. For example my sitting desk height is lower than the standard desk height.

Yeah, and those desk with metal bar under the edges are a pain. Always in obstructing my legs and movements. They are sturdy and very nice to look at.

I very much prefer adjustable height desks.

  • Indeed. I once had an office desk with an HPL top only 12 mm thick, that was the dream.
