If your profession keeps you tied to a desk for hours – be it in tech, creative fields, finance, or any desk-bound role – it's time for a workspace upgrade.
Did you know that the secret to a healthier, more vibrant you could be as simple as changing your desk? Yes, it's true!
The Elephant in the Room Office
Before we delve into the details, let's tackle the elephant in the room. You might be wondering, "Who is Ergoasis?" Especially since finding online reviews about us might be a bit of a challenge. Here's the truth: Ergoasis is a family-run business that's relatively new, with less than a year in operation. We emerged from noticing specific gaps in the market, which we'll explore further down.
Now, about the scarcity of reviews – we understand they're crucial for you. However, gathering them is not as straightforward as one might think. Most online shoppers, perhaps including yourself, rarely leave reviews unless there's a direct incentive. Statistically, there's only a 6% chance that customers will leave a review after their purchase. Coupled with our commitment to respecting your privacy and adhering strictly to GDPR regulations, we don’t solicit reviews unless we have express permission to do so.
But please, don't let our newness or the lack of reviews lead to any doubts. We're here, we're passionate about what we do, and we're committed to your satisfaction. If you have any hesitations, we welcome you to give us a call. And should you choose to support us with a purchase, we'd be grateful if you could share your experience by leaving a review.
The Hidden Dangers of Prolonged Sitting
The NHS highlights that, unless you're a wheelchair user, sitting down too much can be a risk to your health. Prolonged sitting is thought to slow the metabolism, impacting the body's ability to regulate blood sugar, blood pressure, and break down body fat. Inactivity has been linked with obesity, type 2 diabetes, some cancers, and early death.
One study shows that the risk of cardiovascular disease mortality increases by 6% for men and 19% for women with high sitting times. While a standing desk alone can't solve these issues, it plays a crucial role in reducing sitting time.
Home Workers: The Unseen Risks
For those working from home, the challenge of sitting too much is magnified. Not only do home workers face increased risks as noted by the NHS, but studies also show they tend to sit far more than their office-going counterparts due to factors like the absence of commuting and fewer physical activities.
Our desks are specifically designed to counteract these risks, featuring a move reminder on our Alto 2 series that encourages regular standing and movement. This complements the use of smartphones or smartwatches for movement reminders, offering a comprehensive solution that boosts health and encourages activity in the home office environment.
The Problem with Fixed Height Desks
Fixed height desks, typically set at a standard office height of 72-73 cm, are designed with a one-size-fits-all approach. This standard is based on accommodating individuals who are between 5 feet 8 inches and 5 feet 10 inches tall. However, this doesn't take into account the diverse range of user heights. According to statistics from statista.com as of 2021, the average height for men in the UK is 5 feet 8 inches (175.9cm), and for women, it's significantly less at 5 feet 3 inches (162.4cm). This discrepancy highlights a clear issue: if you do not fall within this narrow height range, or if you are a woman, your desk is likely contributing to poor posture, leading to neck strain and wrist pain.
The misalignment caused by a desk not suited to your height can have detrimental effects on your health and wellbeing. For those not of average height, the consequences of using a fixed height desk include not just discomfort but potentially long-term musculoskeletal problems. Our adjustable desks address this critical oversight. By offering customisable height settings, they ensure that everyone, regardless of their height, can find their perfect ergonomic fit, eliminating the risk of strain and promoting a healthier work environment.
Ergonomics: A Game-Changer in Workspace Comfort
Our desks are designed with your health and comfort in mind, featuring:
- Height adaptability for your perfect ergonomic position.
- Improved posture and reduced back pain.
- A height range of adjustments from 55cm to 125cm (22 in to 49 in) across different models, suitable for all body types.
Sturdy, Smart, and Sophisticated
Our desks stand out, not just for their functionality but for their unmatched stability and intelligent design, significantly surpassing competitor models. Here’s how:
- Unparalleled Stability: In our comprehensive review of competitors, we identified a common issue: instability at higher adjustments. Our desks, however, are engineered to defy this problem. With an extremely heavy load capacity and twin motors, our desks ensure fast, smooth, and wobble-free adjustments, maintaining sturdiness even at their maximum height. This means your desk will support you and your work essentials without any risk of wobbling or tilting, providing a stable foundation for your productivity.
- Superior Build Quality: Unlike other desks that might use up to four split boards, leading to warping and instability, our desks feature a quality single desktop. This design choice not only enhances durability but also ensures that your workspace remains consistent and reliable, without the inconvenience of warping when leaned upon.
- Advanced Ergonomic Features: Our desks are equipped with smart features tailored for the modern professional. With three memory presets, you can easily switch between your preferred height settings. Movement reminders prompt you to stay active, reducing the health risks associated with prolonged sitting. The anti-collision technology ensures safety when adjusting the desk height. Powered by twin motors, adjustments are not only smooth but also swift, allowing for effortless transitions between sitting and standing positions.
- Design and Aesthetics: The sleek design of our desks enhances any office decor, marrying functionality with style. The clean lines and modern look of our desks elevate the aesthetic of your workspace, making it a place where you’re inspired to work.
- Peace of Mind: Reflecting our confidence in the quality of our products, we offer a 5-year warranty. This commitment serves as a testament to our faith in our desks and provides you with peace of mind, knowing that we stand behind our products and are here to support you should any issues arise.
Note: some features such as anti-collision and move reminder are only available on some models, please check the full description for more details.
Versatility for Modern Work Challenges
Our desks cater to diverse work environments, from collaborative spaces to multi-use home offices, providing the flexibility and health benefits vital in today's workplace. They are designed to seamlessly adapt to various settings, ensuring optimal performance whether you're in a dynamic office environment or a dedicated home office space. The ability to adjust the desk to the perfect height supports dynamic work styles, fostering creativity and productivity by encouraging movement and adaptability.
Interestingly, many users have reported that even if they don't primarily work from a standing position, the option to adjust their desk to the correct seated height has been pivotal for their health and productivity. Additionally, the flexibility to stand, particularly during meetings or brainstorming sessions, has been cited as a significant plus. This feedback highlights the importance of an adaptable workspace that not only caters to ergonomic health but also enhances overall work efficiency and comfort.
Why Our Desks Stand Out
Our desks are more than just furniture; they're a step towards a better work life and a healthier planet. We achieve this through our partnerships with Arrow Group and ConSet, who are not just manufacturers but pioneers in sustainable and ergonomic design.
Arrow Group has been reshaping the office furniture market since 2009. Their commitment to innovation led to the launch of the Formetiq office furniture line and Metalicon accessories, blending design with functionality, underscored by their ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certifications.
ConSet, established in Denmark 20 years ago, champions the cause of making electric height adjustable desks universally accessible. Their dedication to sustainability is evident in their adherence to RoHS, ISO14000, and BSCI compliances, highlighting their efforts in recycling, waste reduction, and ensuring ethical practices across the supply chain.
Our collaboration extends to actively contributing to global reforestation and climate action initiatives. A portion of the proceeds from every sale is donated to Ecologi, an organisation committed to combating climate change through tree planting and funding impactful environmental projects. This means choosing our desks not only upgrades your workspace but also helps the planet.
By picking our desks, you're choosing innovation, comfort, and a commitment to a sustainable future. Our partnerships ensure you get a high-quality, environmentally responsible desk.
