Here at GEEX we are always looking out for interesting products that can make a real difference to our customers. But one recent customer enquiry has really opened our eyes to a potential problem and we really like the solution.
A customer approached us stating that they had a serious neck and back issue, that meant working at their computer was causing them so much pain that they were unable to work effectively. The medical advice that they had been given was to raise their work station, ideally to a standing position.
Now trying to find effective solutions to raise your computer is not as easy as you might think. However, when we discovered Varidesk we knew that we had found a great product. Varidesk is an adjustable height desk, which sits on top of your existing desk, allowing you to switch from a seated to a stand position in just 3 seconds.
Our customer loved the solution but what really opened our eyes was when we spoke to Varidesk. Most of us are now desk jockeys and when you consider the working day is 8 hours long that is a long time sat down.
Studies have shown that if you sit down for five hours or more a day, you have a 34% increased risk of heart failure than compared to chair avoiding counterparts, no matter how much you exercise. Diabetes risk is doubled and you have a greater chance of depression and cancer.
Now switching to a stand up desk increases your metabolic rate and 3 hours of daily upright time will burn an extra 30,000 calories a year!
We are able to sell 4 models of the Varidesk range. The Single and Pro models provide space for single or dual monitor capability. We can also sell the Single + and Pro + which include a keyboard lift. Prices start from £229 + VAT and we can also include these on our lease deals.
