IKEA has introduced a convertible sitting/standing desk called the Bekant, for around $500 (there’s actually a whole product family of desks with this name, at different prices). It has an electric motor that raises the desk for a standing position, or lowers it for sitting. I’m a huge believer in the benefits of using a standing desk at work, though even I still take sitting breaks during the day. I love the convertible desk idea and it’s great seeing this trend start to go mainstream. Watch the video below if you want to watch a desk be lowered and raised, or if you’d rather not waste that 1:14 of your life, just go buy one next time you’re at IKEA. The transition to a standing desk is not too difficult, and totally worth it (and the transition is much easier with a convertible desk like this that makes it easy to take breaks!).
