Basics - How the Height Adjustable Desk Works & Benefits

If you listened to experts and physiotherapists , then height-adjustable desks should already be an absolute standard in every office today. Unfortunately, they don't do that, even though it has to be said that more and more height-adjustable desks have been purchased in recent years. In young companies and the offices of freelancers, these items of equipment are already much more common today.

A height-adjustable desk offers many health benefits, which usually have a direct effect on work:

• more upright posture
• Better blood circulation throughout the body
• Permanent movement keeps the circulation going
• Perfect adjustment of the table height prevents pain in the joints
• Variety in everyday work
• Natural posture relaxes the body

A good height-adjustable desk, or at least such a frame, is characterized by several things. This includes a high-quality material such as aluminum for the frame. This is durable, visually appealing and lightweight. The electric height adjustment should work at the push of a button, ideally the table has memory functions for several preset heights. This makes it possible to switch quickly between standing and sitting, even on hectic days.

All of these aspects are met by desqup's height-adjustable desks . Whether it's the desqup Corner , the desqup Pro or the desqup Duo , our tables impress with their quality and durability and are visually unobtrusive .

Choosing the table top – you should pay attention to this

If you have decided on a height-adjustable desk frame from desqup, then you can look around for a suitable tabletop . Depending on your requirements in terms of price, appearance and functionality, different models are possible, which we will take a look at here. We'll give you some basics for your new height-adjustable desk , which might help you with your decisions .

The important thing to note is that if you have a larger desk without additional support, the top needs to be a bit thicker to keep it from sagging. If an additional truss is installed, you can also use a thinner plate - but it should be 25mm in all cases so that it also has a certain resistance.

It is entirely up to you whether you decide to use a top made of real wood for your height-adjustable desk. The question of the environment and the price play a major role here. Especially in terms of value and feeling, wooden panels are of course a little more appealing. Today, however, decorative panels can hardly be distinguished visually and are available in many variations, also with a chic grain and a feeling like real wood.

Decorative panels for your height-adjustable desk have these advantages:

• Water-repellent surface
• Longevity and high resistance
• Large selection of colors and designs
• Good value for money

Even with the complete desks from desqup, only decorative panels are used - because we don't want to use any resources for this. The shipping weight is significantly lighter and further emissions are saved. You as a customer also benefit from this, the table is more durable , more resistant and also much more robust .

Does my health insurance pay for the height-adjustable desk frame?

Maybe there are no height-adjustable desks in your workplace yet - and you still have to be satisfied with old equipment . Then you're probably rightly asking yourself who actually pays for the height-adjustable desk - because it has so many advantages that you should almost not do without it.

We recommend that you simply ask your employer first. Explain the numerous benefits to your manager and maybe even provide studies or professional articles to support your desire. Many bosses can be convinced in this way, because for a well-running company it is only a comparatively small investment. In addition, the purchase also brings many advantages for the company itself, such as more productive employees or a better working atmosphere.

But can I also get my health insurance to pay for my height-adjustable desk? Yes, that is also possible, but it is always decided on a case-by-case basis and can therefore not be said in general terms. First you have to see your doctor and he/she has to justify in a certificate why you absolutely need the height-adjustable desk from a health point of view. You can then submit an application to your insurer, which will then be checked - this does not have to be approved.

Coverage: The height-adjustable desk is considered an aid at the workplace and is supported by health insurance with either 800 or 1,200 euros . If it is more expensive, you have to pay part of it yourself.
