Ergopro Professional Sit-Stand Desk black 65-130 cm incl. free assembly

An ode to the Ergo Professional

Sit. Stand. Sit. Stand.

Put like that, it sounds like an exercise. In a sense it is, because working while standing burns more calories. It is also simply a good deal healthier than sitting for hours on end. Who has already got the knack of it? The Swedes. There, 70% already work at a desk like this.

Why the Ergo Professional sit/stand desk?

The Ergo Professional is the ideal desk for alternating between standing and seated work. Thanks to two electric motors in the ROL ERGO frame, the desktop can be adjusted quickly and steplessly from its lowest position (65cm) to its highest position (130cm). A simple press of the button raises or lowers the top by 4 cm/s. Thanks to its wide range, the desk meets the Dutch NPR 1813 standard.

Despite its adjustable top, the desk is remarkably strong. The aluminium base can carry more than 100 kilograms, so you never need to worry about overloading the desk. The 2 Bosch motors in the legs produce around 55dB of sound when the desk is adjusted.

You can choose a 120x80, 140x80, 160x80, 180x80 or 200x80 centimetre top. There is a wide choice of colours here: Concrete Grey, Medium Oak, Light Grey, Havana, White, Brown Oak, Natural Oak and Lindberg Oak. The frame is available in silver, black and white.

What makes a sit/stand desk so good?

On average, we all sit for around 13 hours a day. Various studies increasingly point to the large amount of seated work that many people do every day. All of the studies convey the same message: prolonged sitting is a real killer. That is not an exaggeration; just take a look at the following facts:

Sitting 3 hours less per day means you live roughly 2 years longer

Sitting for longer than 2 hours at a stretch raises your blood sugar level, reduces circulation and lowers good cholesterol by 20%

The average heart rate while sitting (79bpm) is 10 beats lower than while standing (89bpm)

Sitting burns 2.6 kcal per minute, standing 3.3 kcal

Sitting for 4 hours instead of 2 already gives a 50% higher chance of dying prematurely. Focusing purely on cardiovascular disease, that figure is 125%

There is still a belief that enough exercise cancels out the negative effects of a lot of sitting. Various studies have shown that this is incorrect. The only solution is to stand more, and a sit/stand desk gives you that solution.
