The essentials

Are standing desks worth it for working from home?

Yes. Alternating between sitting and standing reduces lower back pain, increases energy, and improves focus — especially during afternoon slumps.

How long should I stand at a standing desk?

Alternate every 30–60 minutes. Standing all day is as bad as sitting all day. The key is movement and variation.

What size standing desk do I need for a UK home office?

120 × 60cm fits most home offices and holds two monitors comfortably. Go for 140cm or wider if you need extra workspace.
