Standing Desk Accessories

Accessories are a perfect way to complement and style your sit stand desk. Don't settle for the basic! There are lots of options out there to choose from including a variety of desktop screens, controllers and cable management, transforming a basic sit stand desk into something executive that all your pals will envy! Here's a list of standing desk accessories we think are worthy of a mention:

Premium Controllers

Store your personal height settings with ease and reach them at the click of a button with a premium controller. Basic controllers only provide a simple up and down function, but for a small additional cost a premium controller not only provides memory pre-sets but a digital display to show the height.

 

Desk Control Software

This intelligent software is easy to install and provides important reminders its time to stand, based on your personal goals and targets. Simply input how often you'd like to stand and the amount of calories you'd like to burn and let the desktop software do the rest! This software isn't available for all sit stand desk ranges, so if you like the idea of this clever little gadget, the Premium Gravity desk is the one to choose.

 

Bluetooth Dongle

Another nifty little gadget for your stand up desk is the Bluetooth dongle. Allowing you to control the height of your desk via an app on your mobile phone, allowing instant access to personal height settings without a fuss. Perfect for hot desking environment's!

 

Cable Management Accessories

Hide away unsightly wires with a floor to cable tray slinky or wire snake, a simple sit stand desk attachment providing the wow factor at any moment. Impress with the aesthetics of your sleek standing desk.

 

Privacy Screens

We all need a little bit of privacy from time to time and desktop screens do just the job. A single central dividing screen is an effective way to separate a bank of double desks and add a splash of your corporate colour(s). Or why not opt for a toolbar screen, individual movement with each desk, rising and falling as the user demands. The toolbar system provides a place for stationery trays and somewhere to hang your monitor(s) freeing up that much needed desk space. Complement the frame work of your desk with a co-ordinating dividing screen.

 

Standing desk accessories don't have to be boring. There's so many options to choose from and they complement your desk perfectly. Here at Hawk Furniture, as a UK Office Furniture Manufacture we offer a range of options to suit your needs.

Sit Stand Workstation – What to remember when ordering yours

So you've decided on the right sit stand workstation for you. What's next?

There are a large number of accessories available for standing desks, from toolbar screens to desk control software and premium controllers, all additions to the purchase of your desk. To ensure you get the most out of your brand new sit stand workstation, here are a few tips on what to remember when ordering.

Screen Dividers

With standing desk suppliers offering the choice of either a shared central dividing screen or individual toolbar screens, its easy to forget that 2 screens may be required upon the purchase of a double configuration. Individual toolbar screens move independently with each desk, as well as providing extra storage and freeing up desk space.

Premium Controllers

Included in the price of your sit stand workstation is a standard controller. This provides up and down functions only and does not include memory pre-sets. If you would like to store your personal height settings and reach them at a click of a button, premium controllers are a great additional purchase.

Wire Management

To ensure your desk looks picture perfect, cable management accessories such as wire snakes and slinkys are a perfect addition to hide wires and provide a sleek, professional finish.

As a UK office furniture manufacture, here at Hawk Furniture we can supply all your standing desk needs.

Standing Desks Improve Productivity In Meeting Rooms

Abandon your meeting chair in aid of a standing desk!

With detrimental links to bad health, sitting has been labelled as the new smoking, but standing at work and during meetings has been proven to boost creativity and teamwork. A study conducted by Washington University in St Louis found that standing during meetings not only improves productivity and quality, but also reduces any tendencies employees may have to be territorial about their ideas. Members of the study among the standing groups were found to be less protective, leading to improved team engagement and work quality.

Its easy to sit back and relax during meetings, but do you ever find that your mind easily wanders? Many of us can't resist the urge to doodle and day dream, but removing chairs from meeting rooms and replacing them with a standing desk keeps employees engaged as well as promoting a healthier more active lifestyle.

Switching from sitting to standing is a simple cost effective way of re-designing an office and incorporating new collaborative work areas.
