Nostopöydät

Nostopöydät, also known as lift tables or standing desks, are pieces of office furniture designed to be adjustable in height. This adjustability allows users to transition between sitting and standing positions while working. The primary purpose of a nostopöytä is to promote a more active and ergonomic work environment, reducing the sedentary nature of prolonged sitting.

These desks typically employ a manual or electric mechanism to raise and lower the desktop. Manual versions might use a crank or lever, while electric models use a motor controlled by a button. The height range of a nostopöytä is usually sufficient to accommodate both sitting and standing postures comfortably for most individuals.

The benefits associated with using nostopöydät include potential improvements in posture, reduced back pain, and increased energy levels. By encouraging users to stand periodically, these desks can help counteract some of the negative health effects linked to excessive sitting, such as increased risk of obesity, cardiovascular disease, and type 2 diabetes. They are often found in modern office settings and home offices, catering to a growing awareness of workplace wellness.
