HAVE NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION GOALS FOR HEALTHIER LIVING? A STANDING DESK CAN HELP!

Even with the majority of Americans vowing to start the New Year off with healthier goals, the workplace can be one of the most challenging environments to adopt healthy habits. given that on average, workers sit nearly 6 hours a day, burning only 1 calorie per minute. More importantly, prolonged sitting has been known to lead to other health issues such as increased blood pressure, excess body fat and high cholesterol.

This is where a sit+stand desk, such as the Sola Lift, can make a difference. “There are many mental and physical benefits to standing desks – both in home and office environments,” said Bill Becker, BDI’s Design Director and CEO. “The Sola desk combines beauty with functionality that also serves a greater purpose. The new Sola design joins BDI’s line of sit+stand desks that support consumer demand for furniture that promotes a healthier lifestyle.

Designed by Matthew Weatherly, Sola is designed to raise or lower to any height between 24.5” and 49.5”, and offers an ample work surface that is 59.5” W x 28” D. The smooth lift mechanism located in the sturdy leg assembly is controlled by a digital keypad that allows up to four pre-programmed user settings, helping consumers reach their ideal sitting and standing height with the touch of a button

Sola’s distinguishing smooth and rounded edges are even carried over to the contoured flip-down, pull-out drawer. Other thoughtful design elements include a rear modesty panel for discretion while sitting, and a wire management channel and tray to keeps cords organized and out of sight. A power strip fits into a dedicated space under the desk, offering one convenient location for plugging in equipment, while the pull-out drawer is lined with non-slip material to keep office essentials in place.
