Ergopro professional duo Sit Stand desk frame

An ode to the Ergo Professional

Sitting. Standing. Sitting. Standing.

This way it sounds like an exercise. In a sense, it is, because working while standing burns more calories. It's also simply much healthier than sitting for hours on end. Who has already mastered the trick? The Swedes. 70% of them already work at such a desk.

Why the Ergo Professional sit/stand desk?

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

Despite its adjustable tops, the desk is incredibly strong. The aluminium frame can support more than 100 kilograms, so you never have to worry about overloaded desks. The Bosch motors in the legs produce about 55dB of sound when the desk is adjusted.

What makes a sit/stand desk so good?

We all sit for an average of about 13 hours a day. Various studies are increasingly highlighting the extensive sedentary work that many people do daily. These studies all convey the same message: prolonged sitting is a real killer. It's not an exaggeration; just look at the following facts:

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

 Sitting for longer than 2 hours consecutively increases blood sugar, reduces blood circulation, and decreases 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 burns 3.3 kcal

 Sitting for 4 hours instead of 2 already gives a 50% higher chance of premature death. Focused purely on cardiovascular diseases, that percentage is 125%

It is still thought that sufficient exercise negates the negative consequences of prolonged sitting. Various studies have shown this to be incorrect. The only solution is to stand more, and a sit/stand desk provides you with this solution.
