Foundation

The Foundation collection is made up mostly of metal filing and storage units, but it also includes a standing height island that’s perfect for use between workstations.

Eleve

Eleve is another brand new NBF Signature Series collection, and this line of teleconferencing tables brings something fresh and new to our assortment. The tapered tables are narrow on one end and wide on the other, which makes them ideal for use in video conferencing, as a monitor can be placed at the wide end of the unit. To take it a step further, these particular media tables are adjustable in height, so meeting members can choose whether they’d like to sit or stand while they gather.

Why You Should Consider a Standing Desk

Standing desks may appear to be an entirely new product, but they aren’t. They were first popular back in the 18th and 19th century in homes and offices of the wealthy. Some famed people even previously used standing desks, including Winston Churchill and Ernest Hemingway.

Statesman Standing Desks

Part of our exclusive NBF signature Series line of furniture, the Statesman Standing Height Desks have a lot to offer, and you won’t be able to find them anywhere but here. Standing desks are beneficial to your health, and these particular standing desks offer handsome good looks as well as a sturdy construction that you’re sure to appreciate. Take a more detailed look at what makes the Statesman Standing Desks such popular products here at National Business Furniture:

Different Types of Standing Desks

While research points to all standing desks offering long-term health benefits, it’s important to know that there are still many different kinds, each offering various design aspects and functions. 

Often, the first image that comes to mind when we think of a standing desk is an entirely separate unit with a preset height you cannot change. While this is certainly an option, others are available that may better suit your working needs and your office environment.

One such option is an adjustable-height standing desk. Unlike standing-height desks, the desktop can be raised or lowered to whatever level is desired. This makes sitting and standing possible with one unit without buying a counter-height stool or chair. One of the distinguishing features of adjustable standing desks is how they are lifted or operated.

Gas Lifts

Adjustable desks with a gas lift mechanism typically feature a lever control, allowing you to easily raise or lower the desk's surface. Gas lifts may also be called pneumatic lifts. Some adjustable height gas lift tables also feature rolling casters for a high level of mobility, making them ideal for the on-the-go worker.

Manual Lifts

As the name implies, these desks require manual effort when it comes to both lifting and lowering the surface of the desk or table. Many manual lifts feature a clip or screw clamp that you must fasten to hold the unit securely in place. Some may even feature a hand crank. While manual effort is required, these desks and tables are still easy to move up and down, as they feature a lightweight design.

Electronic Lifts

Adjustable desks that feature an electronic lift are perhaps the utmost in convenience, as the surface moves up and down via the touch of a button. It’s an incredibly easy-to-use feature that still allows maximum flexibility in your working environment. Due to their simple use and electrical components, this type of adjustable height desk tends to be more of an investment than the other options.
