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.

1. Each Xdesk is Made to Order
Yep, that’s right. Instead of pushing out desks quickly and carelessly, the process begins to create each Xdesk when you send your individual order. These adjustable desks come with limitless customization options, to fit each user’s wants and needs. And each desk uses only natural, sustainable materials like bamboo or recycled aluminum.

It starts with choosing your desktop surface: natural bamboo or solid aluminum. The bamboo finish comes in three shades (light, medium and dark), while the aluminum Air and Air Pro desktop is the epitome of modern style. Then you have the option to choose the finish on your aluminum frame, from Alpine White to Jet Black Gloss. The process takes about 25 to 30 days to create a sturdy, elegantly designed desk.

2. You Can Design Your Xdesk Desktop
If you want to get creative with your adjustable desk, you can decide the shape, style, color and stain with the Xdesk Custom feature. Your imagination is the limit when choosing the shape. Maybe you want a desk shaped like a guitar? Done. Or you want the color to match your existing furniture – Xdesk can make it happen. It’s a designer’s dream!

3. The Xdesk Fit Treadmill Works With All Full-Sized Models
As with most treadmill desks, the treadmill is sold separately. This works great for those who want to transition from standing to walking, or have owned a Xdesk for some time and are ready for an upgrade. But no matter which model you have, the Fit has been designed specifically to work with our full-sized adjustable desks. For now, the Fit isn’t compatible with the Solo or Solo Plus.

Each Fit is equipped with a display console to show your steps taken, walking time, calories burned and distance travelled. It also has AutoSense, a feature that stops the belt the moment your feet stop walking. And, the Fit has built-in Bluetooth to wirelessly sync your computer with your walking data.

4. We Have International Shipping
Xdesk is here to serve, and that means making the adjustable desk available to people around the world. For this reason, we’ll ship to most international destinations! To obtain an international shipping quote, click HERE.

5. Order the Desk Now, the Accessories Later
The customization options can seem overwhelming. Do you need a Vanity Cover or Power Management System? Maybe you’re having trouble deciding on the NextSpace Keyboard Platform. No matter! If you can’t wait to get your Xdesk, you can order the initial desk first and add the customization options later. All you have to do is give us a call and place your order – it’s as easy as 1, 2, 3.

6. You Can Try it Risk Free
Each of our adjustable desks comes with a 30-Day Satisfaction Guarantee. If for any reason you’re not happy with the desk, you can return it for a full refund within 30 days of purchase less shipping. Beyond that, we understand things happen over time. Each Xdesk comes with a two to three year warranty, depending on the model.

For this reason, we’ll show you a few tips on how to create a home office space, so you can tackle that mounting work load with ease, and still have time to start dinner at a decent hour.

Find an Appropriate Area
The first step to design your home office space is finding the perfect area to work. Many at-home workers make the mistake of setting up shop at the dining room table, or worse, that oh-so-comfortable couch. You’ll spend more time than you think in your home office space, so dedicate a complete area for better productivity.

A few things to consider before designing your home office space:
• Location: will you only need a corner of the living room, or a spare bedroom to spread out?
• Function: does it flow with the rest of your house, and are there plenty of available electrical outlets?
• Family: how does the space affect other members of the household, will you need greater privacy to meet with clients?

Find the Appropriate Equipment
After you’ve found the perfect plot, it’s time to plan your budget and invest in the right office equipment. Unsurprisingly, we’re big fans of adjustable height desks. You still get the same benefits from them at home as if you were in an office.

You’ll have the flexibility to sit, stand and move around with the touch of a button. This flexibility lessens the temptations that come with working in a home office space, like walking the dog or doing the laundry.

And the cable management system hides all wires and cords, so you can maintain the aesthetics of your home. More importantly, the customization option allows you to create the perfect desk for your home office space. An L-shape is ideal for at-home workers who need to utilize their home office space for a computer and for writing with pen and paper. And you’ll have plenty of room for a printer, files and organizational tools. If you have a limited work area in your home office space, that problem is quickly solved with the Xdesk Solo, a smaller version to accommodate tight spaces.

Head down to an office supply store to get everything else you need, like filing cabinets, extension cords and desk lamps. Which brings us to the next point – comfort.

Find a Level of Comfort
Your home office space is an area you’re going to spend a large amount of time, so you should create an environment that’s pleasant to be in.

We encourage standing throughout your day for better productivity and to keep the after lunch lethargy at bay, but don’t skimp on a comfortable office chair for those moments when you need to take a seat – an adjustable height desk is all about flexibility, after all.

It’s ideal to purchase an office chair for your home office space, instead of stealing a chair from the kitchen table. This keeps up the “office” feel, and today there are so many different styles of office furniture available, so you’re bound to find one that fits your home décor and your budget.

The right lighting is important for your home office space. It’s ideal to have natural or artificial lighting behind you to illuminate your work area and not cause a glare.

Try a few of these ideas for your home office space and let us know how it works!

The Xdesk has grown from small beginnings to being used throughout the nation.

In a previous post, we told you all about the history of the sit to stand desk—how it has been used throughout the centuries in offices and in schools, how some of the most famous leaders and writers have created their masterpieces at sit to stand desks, and how these desks are now starting to regain popularity in time to combat our nation’s overall health and weight problem.

Well, that’s the history in a nutshell anyway.

Today we thought we’d tell you about a different aspect of the sit to stand desk’s history: about Xdesk in particular. Over the past few years, Xdesk has played a big role in the sit to stand desk’s overarching history—it is a unique company in this niche of business, with its design, its sustainable and safe materials, and its technology. It is advancing the adjustable height desk forward. So let’s take a quick look back at where Xdesk began.

Xdesk started out in 2011 in Georgetown, Texas, just outside of the state’s capital. This quaint little city outside of Austin was named one of CNN-Money’s “Top 100 Places to Live and Launch a Business” and for good reason—after just a short time in Georgetown, the Xdesk name has spread all over the world, in businesses, schools, and personal offices alike.

Why the interest in Xdesk’s sit to stand desks in particular? Because Xdesk tailors each and every detail of their desks to overall health. Let me explain.

For your health, Xdesk has designed a desk that adjusts perfectly to your height and even your preferred keyboard position. Their sit to stand desks don’t even include harmful laminates or MDF like so much other office furniture does.

For the environment’s health, Xdesk’s sit to stand desks are all made from sustainable materials like bamboo and recycled aluminum. Bamboo is one of the fastest growing, strongest, and most easily replenished woods on the planet, while recycled aluminum can be used over and over for centuries. Setting out, Xdesk’s mission was to create easy to use, functional, and flawless “protective life stations” (AKA your sit to stand desk).

Their point was not only to improve health and wellness, but also to change the way we move, work, and ultimately engage in the world around us. And from the beginning, their focus has been on the client. That’s why about 60 percent of the sit to stand desks that Xdesk creates are custom solutions.

Xdesk has come a long way, from their humble beginnings in Georgetown, Texas to a company whose reputation has spread all over the world for their one-of-a-kind, high quality sit to stand desks. Of course there is still history to be made in the evolution of the sit to stand desk, but I really do believe that Xdesk will be there to play a role.
