Transform Your Workspace: Standing Desks Benefit Apple Users’ Health

As an Apple aficionado, you may already be aware of the growing trend among tech enthusiasts to incorporate standing desks into their workspace. Perhaps you’ve been toying with the idea due to a nagging backache or a numb derriere after hours of sitting. If so, you are not alone. A sit stand desk could be the perfect solution to your woes, and many Apple fans swear by them.

In a recent Reddit post titled “Finally got a standing desk!”, user NiMa revealed his minimalist MacBook Pro setup featuring an affordable sit-stand desk. His setup included a 27-inch LG 4K monitor, a Logitech Stream Cam, and popular Logitech input devices โ€” an MX mini keyboard and an MX Anywhere 3 wireless mouse. His cable management was so flawless that it left many Redditors in awe, with one asking, “How is there only one cable in sight?” NiMa’s response was simple: “Webcam connect to my monitor USB port and monitor connect to MacBook Pro through Thunderbolt USB-C. So It charges the laptop and I also can still use my webcam.”

The star of NiMa’s setup, however, was his standing desk. NiMa uses a Flexispot EB5, a brand known for its extensive range of models on Amazon. His desk is equipped with dual motors and offers three stages of standing. He described it as the “best bang for the buck,” having purchased it for 260โ‚ฌ [$281] (excluding the tabletop). While he admitted it may not be the most robust model on the market, he found it sufficiently sturdy for regular use.

The health benefits of an electric stand up desk are well-documented. Prolonged sitting has been likened to obesity and smoking in terms of its detrimental effects on health. However, incorporating regular exercise and frequent standing can mitigate these risks. This is why Apple Watch and its Fitness app encourage users to stand regularly, making it one of the three core activities (Move, Exercise, Stand).

Choosing the best standing desk for your needs requires some research. You’ll want a desk that doesn’t wobble when you type or move items around. For instance, Corsair, a gaming gear specialist, has recently unveiled its first standing desk designed for gaming and streaming. Although not yet available for sale, this model promises high customizability and a range of accessories.

For more guidance on how to choose the best standing desk, you might want to consult rating site Wirecutter. It offers top recommendations based on rigorous testing and reviews.

If you are proud of your Apple setup and want to share it with other enthusiasts, Cult of Mac is always open to featuring new setups. Just send some high-resolution pictures to info+setups@cultofmac.com along with a detailed list of your equipment. Share what you love or dislike about your setup and any unique elements or challenges you’ve faced. Plans for future additions are also welcome.

In conclusion, whether you’re grappling with back pain or simply looking to switch up your work routine, an electric height adjustable standing desk could be just what you need. Not only does it offer health benefits, but it also adds an element of versatility to your workspace. As an Apple fan, incorporating a standing desk into your setup could enhance both your productivity and your well-being.

So happy with my new sit/stand desk. The price was very competitive and the quality is excellent. It's very unusual these days to have the level of human to human customer service Guy offered, from the time of ordering all the way to installation. Guy delivered my desk on time, put it together, set up my computer and tidied away the cables. Such a nice person, and a wonderful experience. Would highly recommend.

My brother in lawโ€™s glowing recommendation of the ergomotion sit- stand desk that he has been using for a few years now, and specially the service that Guy delivers, piqued my interest. And now I am convert!

From the moment I first interacted with Guy to the day my standing desk arrived, Iโ€™ve been nothing short of impressed. The booking process was incredibly smooth and hassle-free - Guy made everything so simple and straightforward. His customer service was top-notch, with clear communication and genuine helpfulness made the overall process even more amazing. I appreciate how patiently he answered my questions and explained the care instructions for the wooden top.

For the product itself! The standing desk is a game-changer - the attention to detail, premium material used, beautiful design, smooth adjustment all transformed my home office. The craftsmanship is top-notch. What really sets this experience apart is how much I genuinely enjoy using the desk every single day. Would highly recommend!! Thank you ๐Ÿ™

Guy (the owner) delivered the desk and set it up quickly. He then gave me a lesson on how to use it and how to get the most out of it. Arrived on time and was absolutely lovely to deal with throughout the whole process. Highly recommend.

I bought an adjustable desk from Guy a couple of years ago, got great service and good price. Recently we had a tiny issue which could not be fixed over the phone. Guy was more than happy to come out and look at it 2 days later. All fixed! I really appreciated his patience with me and accommodating us so quickly. Great old fashioned service and piece of mind. I love it. I know where to get my second desk when needed. Thank you Guy. Jo Manning

Great service and really quick shipping. It is great to know that you are getting quality parts from a Scandinavian manufacturer with your standing desk purchase rather than the cheap knock off stuff you get from other major brands. Reasonably priced for the quality too!
