How do you know when the time is right to get a standing desk? What if you wait too long?

Since standing desks are a relatively new product, it can be challenging for people to determine what indicates a need for an adjustable standing desk. We thought we would pull together some of the situations or indicators that have led people to make the decision to upgrade their current static chair and desk to a sit-stand desk or standing desk.

You probably need a standing desk if…

1. You find yourself slouching or hunching over your computer desk.
