IKEA BEKANT Sit/Stand Desk

What is it? Scientists on the internet tell us that sitting down to work your whole life is not 100% great for the state of your posture. Standing desks are great for your overall health, but it is nice to sit down sometimes, isn’t it? Motorised desks that let you raise or lower their height so you can use them with a chair (or not) are nothing new, but they’re rarely as cheap as this one from IKEA is. Which is sort of IKEA’s raison d’être, thinking about it, so maybe is no surprise. When’s it due? Soon, but was delayed at the time of writing. Why are we excited? Standing desks really do have major long-term health benefits, so the more affordable they are, the happier we’ll be in a few years time. Just press a button on the side of the BEKANT and the built-in motor raises and lowers the height for your convenience. Please do check the weight limits before using it as a lift to reach your attic, though…
