Xdesk has done everything in our power to deliver a beautiful, modern and, most importantly, ergonomic workstation. We weren’t happy with traditional desks, and were appalled at the growing health effects of “sitting disease.” If you’ve followed our blog, you’re well aware how terrible sitting is for your health.

Investing in a standing desk is the first step toward a healthier, more productive you. But there’s more to just standing than you think! Standing for hours on end isn’t ideal for your health, so Xdesk is equipped with features that let you move around however and how much you like.

Xdesk is designed with features that help you achieve perfect ergonomic placement. With more than 260 positions, you can find the best height to fit your needs. And the NextSpace Keyboard Platform finds the ideal wrist placement—so no more wrist strain or discomfort.

Xdesk is for the individual, which is why we offer even more customization options for the person who needs an added touch.

You’ve browsed the features of the Xdesk Terra or seen the modern sophistication of the Air. You’ve compared both to their Pro equivalents, for powerful lifting performance and stability. You’ve discovered the Solo for small spaces and considered the Xdesk Fit to really amp up your daily workout.

But what if you still think something is missing? That’s where Xdesk Custom comes in. We can design your desk any way you’d like, the only limitation is your imagination.

If you’ve recently finished your new home office, but one of our bamboo finishes won’t work, we offer custom staining to match your existing furniture. Maybe the Terra is too large and the Solo is too small, or your desk needs to be kidney-shaped to fit a unique space. We can do that too.

The only thing that remains uniform with each Xdesk Custom is one thing: Quality. We never sacrifice on only using natural, environmentally friendly materials. And your completely Custom Xdesk comes with a 3-year warranty. A tailor-made desk with the security of a warranty—it doesn’t get better than that.

If you’ve started drooling over your imagined Xdesk Custom, make it a reality and click HERE to request a quote.

Facts You Need to Know About Using A Standup Desk https://www.xdesk.com/blog/using-xdesk-standup-desks/ https://www.xdesk.com/blog/using-xdesk-standup-desks/#respond Wed, 19 Mar 2014 17:10:04 +0000 http://www.nextdesks.com/blog/?p=1146 By now you’re well aware of the negative health effects of sitting in a chair

By now you’re well aware of the negative health effects of sitting in a chair all day. You’ve taken action and invested in one of our adjustable or fixed height standup desks. Whether you’re a newbie to the standing desk scene or a veteran, we’ve put together a short list of “need-to-knows” about the Xdesk and the benefits you’ll experience.

It’s High-Tech
This isn’t your average standup desk. A state-of-the-art lift system is all controlled by an advanced microprocessor. The controller has a digital LED display with three programmable memory settings so you can customize your standing and sitting heights. The Xdesk uses a chain drive system with dual (or quad – depending on the model) 18 volt DC motors that seamlessly transition. And it’s all completely hidden inside the lift columns, so you’ll never see an exposed gear, motor or wire.

It Has Options
Our standup desks feature choices that fit multiple users. The main thing to remember about the Xdesk is its drive to encourage clean lines, perfect ergonomics, and practically zero clutter. The available options fit those criteria. A Vanity Cover hides all computer cables and wires, while a Power Management System protects your precious equipment. The NextSpace Keyboard Platforms helps you find the best ergonomic position for your wrists and arms, and the Ergonomic Monitor Arms allow you to freely adjust your computer screen(s).

It Benefits the Planet
These standup desks never use laminates or MDF in their materials. Instead, Xdesk has chosen to use only sustainable materials like natural bamboo and recycled aluminum. The desk never has solvent-based paints or additives that can harm you and the environment. And it’s made right here in the U.S.

You’ll Be More Productive
While you stand, you can move from side to side, fidget, and bend your knees. Movement is a powerful thing, not only for health but also for concentration. Studies show that the ability to move freely actually leads to better focus. Focus ultimately leads to productivity—and that’s something we can all understand. What’s more, you’ll discover a totally new energy boost in the afternoon, when most workers are tired and hunched over their computers.

You Need the Right Footwear
Leave the uncomfortable dress shoes or heels at the door, and switch to something that’s more comfortable (but not necessarily less attractive). Standing long hours can be hard on your joints and back, so you’ll need the proper support to fully reap the benefits of our stand up desk.

You Don’t Have to Stand All Day
A shocking point, but it’s true! You don’t have to stand all day behind your Xdesk. Instead, Xdesk gives you the flexibility to sit and stand as you please. Stand for 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or sit for 45. However you choose to move throughout the day, Xdesk gives you the freedom to do it. And with more than 200 positions, chances are you’re going to find the right height for you.

The Celebrity Café recently tried out our Xdesk Terra and we couldn’t be happier with the results. They reported that after using the Xdesk desk, the way they viewed the traditional work space had completely changed. The user-friendly features and sustainable materials of the Xdesk Terra were given a five star rating!

After using the Xdesk Terra, Celebrity Cafe felt healthier, more productive and more energetic during the workday. What set the Terra apart from other adjustable height desks was its ability to transition quickly and smoothly, at 1.7 inches per second, from sitting to standing.

The movement was so smooth they didn’t even have to worry about spilling their morning cup of coffee or removing fragile items from the desktop. Celebrity Café also enjoyed the easy to use control panel and elegant bamboo finish.

They praised the user-friendly control system. It was extremely easy to set their preferred height for sitting and standing with the touch of a button. “With the press of a button the desk automatically rose to a preset desired height and there wasn’t any fussing around to get it just right.”

Celebrity Café also enjoyed the natural, sustainable materials used in the Xdesk desk, like solid bamboo and durable recycled aluminum frame. And the three year warranty was an added incentive.

Thanks to Celebrity Café for a solid review filled with positive comments and five stars. We hope they continue to enjoy the Xdesk Terra.

Christmas is fast approaching, but there’s still time to do some last minute shopping! Unfortunately, since each Xdesk is handcrafted, it won’t be ready in time for December 25. But that doesn’t mean we can’t drool over Xdesk’s adjustable height desks and all of the great things it comes with.

To top things off, we’re proud to say that the Xdesk Terra has been named the best standing desk by numerous reviews, and was featured in several new publications including:

Wired Magazine: Working Tall: The Ultimate Standing Desk Setup

The WireCutter: The Best Standing Desks

Cult of Mac: The Xdesk Terra Standing Desk is Perfect for Health Conscious Apple Fans

If you are one of the millions with a desk job, you’re probably spending more time in a sedentary position than moving. With the growing research that sitting causes numerous health problems (so much so that sitting is now labeled as the “tobacco of our generation”), it’s time to start thinking about changing how you work and live.

Thankfully, there’s an adjustable height desk that gives you the freedom of movement, so you can switch from sitting to standing with the single touch of a button.

After several reviews and comparisons, Xdesk has proudly taken on the title as the best standing desk on the market. Xdesk uses sustainable materials combined with advanced technology to produce a desk that is as elegant as it is efficient.

But you don’t have to take our word for it.

Wirecutter, the technology blog responsible for reviewing amazing gadgets, compared heavy hitters in the adjustable height desk world, and deemed the Xdesk Terra as the best standing desk.

There was a constant appreciation for not only the adjustable height desk’s efficiency, but also its design. “In a nutshell, it’s beautiful. And when you see what other desks are like, you really appreciate the beauty,” the Wirecutter said.

Beyond the beauty, the bamboo used in select adjustable height desk models stood out as an exceptional desk surface, just another reason of the best standing desk title. Natural bamboo looks elegant compared to desks of lesser quality, and it is strong and sturdy – to hold up against even the toughest user.

Of all praises the reviewers mentioned, there was the constant recognition of Xdesk’s beauty and modern exterior. And the aesthetics go beyond the sustainable materials, since the advanced design radiates an undertone of a clutter-free workspace.

The Wirecutter praises Xdesk’s wire management as the best standing desk system they’ve seen. Since grommets on either side of the Xdesk and aluminum cable raceway hide any unsightly cables, creating a sleek and modern work area.

Cult of Mac, a news site that reviews Apple products, named Xdesk the best standing desk for health-conscious Apple fans. The review praises Xdesk’s simplistic design that makes it more than office furniture, but an art piece that you can proudly display in your living room, rather than hide away in a corner of your home.

The reviews say it all: if you want an adjustable height desk that is efficient, and maintains an element of design, the Xdesk the best standing desk for you.

In case you missed it, Wirecutter researched and tested a number of standing desks and our Terra model was named number one!

They named the benefits of using a standing desk, what to look for when investing in one and how they came to the conclusion that Terra was the best. But one claim stood out beyond the others:

Terra desks are beautiful.

Wirecutter said other desks were practical, but beyond that they provided little else.  Some were made from quality materials, but the overall appeal paled in comparison to Terra.

“Last year I recommended this as the best desk to daydream about,” Wirecutter said. “And even though it costs more, it is actually a great value.”

And there you have it – quality,  beauty and value all in one. We were flattered that Terra was dreamed about.

Workers generally spend a great amount of time at their desks, which is why the appeal factor stood out the most. It’s important to maintain pleasant aesthetics in a work space, and you see businesses all over creating a homier environment for their employees.

The “work hard, play hard” mentality is spreading, and employees are reaping the benefits if the work space feels more enjoyable.

If workers are more comfortable, it leads to greater satisfaction when a job is done, increased interaction to form a stronger team, and workers want to be there. And at the end of the day, that’s better for business.

We appreciate Wirecutter’s praise and thorough research they took to come to their conclusion of naming the Terra desk the best standing desk out there.

What do you love about the Terra desk?
