Basics – Functionality & Advantages of the Height-Adjustable Desk

If you were to listen to experts and physiotherapists, height-adjustable desks should already be standard in every office today. Unfortunately, they are not, although it must be said that more and more height-adjustable desks have been purchased in recent years. In young companies and freelancer offices, these equipment items are already much more widespread today.

A height-adjustable desk offers many health benefits, which usually also directly affect work:

• More upright posture
• Better blood circulation throughout the body
• Constant movement keeps the circulation going
• Perfect table height adjustment prevents joint pain
• Variety in the daily work routine
• Natural posture relaxes the body

A good height-adjustable desk or at least such a frame is characterized by various things. This includes 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 desk has memory functions for several preset heights. This allows for quick switching between standing and sitting, even on hectic days.

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

Selecting the Tabletop – What You Should Pay Attention To

If you have opted for a height-adjustable desk frame from Deskspace, then you can look for a suitable tabletop. Depending on your requirements for price, appearance, and functionality, different models come into consideration, which we will look at here. We will give you some basics for your new height-adjustable desk, which may help you with your decisions.

It is important to note that for a larger desk without additional support, the top must be slightly thicker so that it does not sag. If an additional crossbar is installed, you can also use a thinner top – however, it should be 25mm in all cases so that it also has a certain resistance.

Whether you choose a solid wood top for your height-adjustable desk is entirely up to you. The environmental and price factors play a major role here. Especially in terms of quality and feel, wooden tops are naturally more appealing. However, decorative tops are hardly distinguishable visually today and are available in many variations, even with stylish grain and a feel like real wood.

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

• Water-repellent surface
• Durability and high resistance
• Wide selection of colors and designs
• Good price-performance ratio

Even for the complete desks from Deskspace, only decorative tops are used – because we do not want to use resources for this. This makes the shipping weight significantly lighter and saves further emissions. You, as a customer, also benefit from this; the table is more durable, more resistant, and also significantly more robust. Feel free to visit our website.

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

Perhaps there are no height-adjustable desks at your workplace yet – and you still have to make do with old equipment. Then you are probably justifiably asking yourself who actually pays for the height-adjustable desk – because it has so many advantages that you should almost not do without it.

Here, we recommend that you first simply ask your employer. Explain the numerous advantages to your supervisor and perhaps even present studies or specialist articles to reinforce your request. Many bosses can be convinced this way, as it is a comparatively small investment for a well-running company. 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 therefore cannot be generalized. First, you must see your doctor, and he must justify in a medical certificate why you absolutely need the height-adjustable desk from a health perspective. After that, you can submit an application to your insurer, which will then be reviewed – this does not have to be approved.

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

Installation of a Height-Adjustable Desk Frame

When installing your height-adjustable Deskspace desk, you do not need to consult an expert – all our products are designed to be assembled in under 30 minutes and are immediately ready for use. You will find the holes for the screws on the bottom of the frame, where you can easily attach your own tabletop.
