Refold Standing Desk

 

Standing desks are all the rage these days. There are a number of purported health benefits to working while standing up, although they come with several risks and warnings too. At the end of the day, it all boils down to preference. If portability and cost are high up on your list, then you might want to get Refold.

It’s a foldable standing desk made from cardboard components, which makes it light enough to be assembled, disassembled, and transported by a single person. And since it’s made from cardboard, it’s 100% recyclable. Just don’t get it wet, and you should be fine.

Refold is currently up for funding on Kickstarter, where a minimum pledge of $115 will get you one of your very own.

Standing Task Chair Lets You Sit While You’re Using Your Standing Desk

Posted on by

Many people believe that standing is better than sitting, especially for those who have desk jobs or work long hours on their computers. Standing for hours on end in front of a standing desk isn’t the most comfortable thing to do, but it could give you the added benefits promised for those who stand up more.

Adding some comfort to this, though, is the StandRight Standing Task Chair.

Standing Task Chair

It basically lets you cheat a little while you do your work at your standing desk. The Standing Task Chair is designed to support you while you stand, distributing the weight between your butt and knees. It also has supports for your knees and an inclined footrest so it’ll make you feel like you’re sitting on air. That’s definitely a whole lot more comfortable than just standing up.
