Top 9 FAQs about Standing Desks
Here is a list of some commonly asked questions that can help you make an informed decision and invest in a standing desk that will make your work more enjoyable.
What is a standing desk?
"Standing Desk" is an umbrella term that includes any kind of desk that you can stand up at while working. It could be a simple fixed-height desk designed for standing, a height-adjustable desk with basic features, or smart standing desks with advanced features. However, electric motor-powered height-adjustable desks, such as Seiffen Laminated Standing Desk (Eco & Pro), are typically considered to be the best option for home and office settings due to their advanced features, user-friendliness, and ease of use.
How do I know I need a standing desk?
If you are experiencing chronic back pain, neck pain, stiff shoulders, and muscle strain, you may need a standing desk. Poor posture is another common sign you may require a standing desk in your workspace. Similarly, depleted energy levels and excessive fatigue are also common signs you need a standing desk. Furthermore, your mood and behavior can also indicate the need for a standing desk. For example, if you have been feeling down, stressed, frustrated, or moody at work, a high-quality standing desk may be the solution to all your problems.
How to choose the right standing desk?
The right kind of desk for you depends on your individual needs and preferences. Therefore, the first thing you should do is determine why you need a standing desk, how you intend to use it, and where you want to place it. Answers to these questions will help you single out the features you do or don't want in your standing desk.
For example, if you require a standing desk for daily use, Seiffen Laminated Standing Desk ECO may be a good choice. However, if you plan on setting up a hefty, hardcore gaming station with loads of accessories and gadgets, you may want to invest in Seiffen Laminated Standing Desk PRO.
Other factors that help you to buy the best standing desk include the motor, tabletop options, safety features, keypad design, and leg section. Finally, let's not forget about the cost. You want to invest in a high-quality standing table that is built for durability and offers high value for your money in the long run.
What is the right height adjustment range for me?
The right height adjustment range is the one that allows your body to remain in a natural position and does not cause physical stress whether you are sitting or standing at the desk. Naturally, the ideal range varies from person to person.
Therefore, premium standing desks are generally available with different height adjustment ranges. For example, Seiffen Laminated Standing Desk (Eco & Pro) comes in the following three height ranges.
Eco (2 Stage): 28 to 47 inches
Pro (2 Stage): 27.2 to 46.5 inches
Pro (3 Stage): 22.8 to 48.4 inches
You can choose the right height range based on your height and body shape. However, if you are investing in a table that will be used by multiple users, including children, it is best to opt for a desk with a wide height adjustment range, such as Seiffen Laminated Standing Desk Pro (3 Stage).
How much should I spend on a standing desk?
When setting the budget for buying a standing desk, make sure you never compromise on quality to save a few bucks. You don't want to end up with a desk that is relatively easy on the pocket but not sturdy enough to last for years. It's best to buy a standing desk where you can save yourself from having to buy a new one in the future.
Also, keep in mind that a lot of factors go into determining the cost of a standing desk, including the quality, make, material, durability, and features. Look for a standing desk that offers the complete package for a cost-effective range. FlexiSpot offers the best products at highly market-competitive rates.

Are standing desks safe?
When investing in any product, safety should always be one of your primary concerns. The good news is that standing desks are generally perfectly safe for use, even by children, if used as intended. Pet owners can also purchase standing desks without any safety concerns for their furry friends. However, if you are especially concerned about safety, you can always invest in an advanced standing desk with added safety features, including Safety Keypad Lock and Anti-Collision Function. Adjustable Standing Desk Pro Series by FlexiSpot is a great option in this regard.
What are the different lifting mechanisms used in standing desks?
The lifting mechanism of a standing desk can make all the difference in performance, stability, lifting speed, and even the weight capacity of a standing desk. Therefore, make sure you explore your options to invest in the right standing desk. Here are the three lifting mechanisms that are generally employed in standing desks.
Manual Desks: Manual desks rely on a handle or crank that you can manipulate by hand to raise or lower the tabletop. These desks do not feature a motor.
Single Motor Desks: This lifting mechanism relies on a single motor to power both legs of the table. Single-motor standing desks are more suitable for lightweight use. Seiffen Laminated Standing Desk Eco (2-Stage) is a single motor with a weight capacity of 154 lbs and a lifting speed of 1 inch per second.
Dual Motor Desks: Dual motor desks use a separate motor to power each leg of the desk. Standing desks using this lifting mechanism are more suitable for setting hefty workstations. Seiffen Laminated Standing Desk Pro (3-Stage) features a dual motor with a weight capacity of 275lbs and a lifting speed of 1.50 inches per second.
Do standing desks make a lot of noise?
As long as you purchase from reputable vendors, you have nothing to worry about noise. Designed for convenience, FlexiSpot Seiffen Laminated Standing Desk operates at the minimal sound.
Whether you place your desk at home or in a shared office space with Seiffen Laminated, you can transition between the sitting and standing positions without losing concentration or worrying about disturbing those around you.
Are there any environmentally-friendly options available?
Seiffen Laminated Standing Desk offers high-quality, environmentally-friendly desktop options. You can opt for our eco-friendly CHIPBOARD desktop available in a variety of colors and wood grains. It has passed the product safety testing and UL certification.
Another environmentally-friendly option is MDF desktops that are designed with smooth and round edges. It meets the FPA and CARB standards, which means you can invest in our tabletops without worrying about a thing!
