If you are new to standing while you work, we recommend beginning with standing for only 1 hour on your first day. Once you DeskStand™ ships you will receive an electronic guide to get your standing while you work. Download this guide, The Two Week StandWorking™ Challenge, and follow it over a 2 week period to slowly strengthens your bodies core muscles and stand for up to 4 hours per day. Ideally we recommend standing for no longer than half of your work day which is 4 hours. The DeskStand™ offers the balance the body needs, one can't stand all day but you can't sit all day either.
If you are a standing veteran and find yourself standing for over 4 hours per day we recommend using an Anti Fatigue Foam Mat which takes the strain off the legs and heels. The 25mm foam works very well at adding extra standing hours to your day.
Can I demo the DeskStand™ before I decide to purchase one?
We unfortunately do not do trials at this point.
Do I need an ergonomic desk setup by law in the USA?
YES! Ergonomics Regulations, which form part of the Ergonomics Regulation, which forms part of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and was published in January 9th 2010, thereby legislating ergonomics in the USA. This means that, by law, every USA company is required to comply with these Regulations. Read more here.
Will the DeskStand™ damage my desk surface?
The base feet of a DeskStand™ are very small and therefore does not take up much surface area. Eco-friendly, water based, paint sealer is used to seal the birch plywood. This sealer is of the highest, top quality standards and has nonslip and protective properties. Overall we have had no bad feedback on this topic.

My screen is too close to me, how can I push it further back?
The DeskStand™ has been developed and designed to support many variations of large computer screens, however, not all are made equal. If you feel your screen is positioned too close to your eyes and you've tried to move it as far back as possible there is an alternative option. You may simply request a swap out of your JUMBO Shelf for our Deeper 400mm x 900mm Shelf, which is highly recommend! You may request a free swap out, depending on your location, or you may purchase the shelf separately with delivery. Simply contact us here.
What if my DeskStand™ wobbles after I order it?
The JUMBO DeskStand™ is designed to hold 2 x 23" Screens side by side. Larger, heavier screens may need extra support. We do have a solution for your wobbly DeskStand™, it's called the Stabilizer which gives you up to 5 x times more stability and less wobble. You may also use it for the Original DeskStand.
