The One Thing No One Tells You About Standing Desks (Spoiler: It's Not the Price)

Published: April 01, 2026

Standing desks are great, but most people set them up wrong. First, your monitor should be at eye level—use a stack of books or a monitor riser if needed. Second, don't stand all day; alternate every 30-60 minutes to avoid fatigue. Third, wear supportive shoes or use an anti-fatigue mat to protect your joints. Fourth, keep your keyboard and mouse at elbow height to prevent shoulder strain. Finally, use a timer or app to remind you to move—your body will thank you.
