Sit-Stand.Com

I have owned a YoYoDESK for about 3 years which I use at home. Much of the time (pre-Covid lockdown) I would work from home about 3-4 days a week with 1-2 days travel. Now its mainly 5 days a week. My set up is two screens sitting on top of my YoYoDESK which sits on my large oak desk with a lap-top docked into a docking station underneath and the keyboard on the YoYoDESK . I also have a foam mat that I sand on. While at home I log onto my laptop at about 09.00 and remain standing at the desk until I finish at about 17.30. Prior to that I may have walked the dog from 06.00 for 90 minutes and so its safe to say that I could remain on my feet for 12 hours a day. I sometimes sit for lunch for 30 minutes but now feel more comfortable to stand and walk about than sitting down. I also sometimes wear support / compression socks just to support my calves. I would say apart from the occasional aching feet or knees I feel 100% better than if I sit. My arms feel better, I have little or no neck pains, my lower back feels fine and I am more alert. I am just used to it. My legs are more toned and I can comfortably walk 15 - 20 miles if out on a walk because I am used to being vertical and so moving one foot in from of the other for hours on end is even better than standing still! This contrasts with when I am travelling and using seats at "strange desks" which is about the only time I ever get lower back ache and upper neck and arm strain. Even on trains I sometimes elect to stand rather than sit. Overall, I prefer working and standing and think that the YoYoDESK was a fantastic investment. I paid for this myself as at the time the company would not support standing desks as part of their home working package, but I feel it was absolutely worth it.

Amazing experience. Super fast delivery, especially considering the COVID-19 circumstances and helpful customer service. The Yo-Yo 90 is well built, goes from stand to sit with ease, and has so much space (I can fit my iMac 21.5", Macbook 15", a 2nd keyboard, drawing tablet and notebook on the top level with room to spare). Would HIGHLY recommend.

Well worth it We are a small company, which means we closely watch our spending in the detail and look for maximum value. The Flytta 2 we bought through Sit-Stand are not the cheapest desks of this type, but they are made to last and worth every penny and the service from Sit-Stand has been excellent. But that is not the whole story, there is more to life than money. This is an easy way of delivering huge health benefits for our team. Experts say sitting all day is shortening our lives, this is something I can do to address that.

After reading many reviews and benefits of stand up desks I decided to purchase one from sit-stand.com. The frame of the desk feels very solid and can handle a dual screen setup without issue (didn't use a monitor mount arm) Giving 4 stars due to receiving the desk scratched otherwise it would have been 5.

The sit stand team were really helpful and always at the end of the phone. Our team love the desk risers and they have transformed the way we work and our office environment. Would definitely recommend!!

Great service and now enjoying the benefits of a standing desk

Great company with contactable, helpful customer service. The Yo-Yo minis which i have ordered make each staff members working life easier. The Mini is a great, value for money standing desk with ease of use. I look after 150 staff within our offices and Sit-Stand are my go to company for standing desks due to all of the above reasons.

The equipment itself is not beautiful but the mechanism is great, it's smooth and easy to raise up or lower down, and the experience using it, alternating between standing and sitting at work, is fantastic. Love it.

Great company to deal with, good range of products to choose from and superb after sales service. It is a shame more businesses are not run like this with a focus on quality and excellent customer service; FIVE STAR!

Have been using a YO-YO DESK Go 2 for a year now great design just bought another 2 for other members of staff. The Sales Manager Rik is very knowledgeable and helpful in fulfilling my order .Definitely recommend the product and the company !

The yo yo sit stand desk has made a real difference to my working life. I couldn't do wihtout it. I had a prolaosed disc and could not sit all day at a desk this has made my working day bearable and improved my whole attitude to working!! I even borught it home as I am now working from home, I just couldn't do wihtout it!!

We bought one for our business and I have to say that it has changed my health. Used to get a lot of back pain from sitting at my desk to long. I stand for an hour or so in the morning and the afternoon and the pain I go home without that pain. I has taken some time to get used to the standing as I am not the lightest, but my daily step count has also increased. I find that walk more because because I am already standing whether that is to pick a print or to pop something in the shredder. We will be looking to buy some more for the rest of our team so that they too have the option to work standing. We could do with adding a reception style desk to the range.

Brilliant product. Great value for money. Would definitely shop here again.

Superb company to do business with, great desks, we even got frames to add our existing desktops to! They have a great installation team also, give Sit-Stand a try, I don’t think you will be disappointed!

Brilliant desk and position to keep my hamstrings and core in tip top condition. So easy to switch between sitting and standing for the perfect day at work.

The desk is excellent, and the fact they could custiom make the top to fit my space was even better. Feel much healthier alternating sitting and standing at my new desk

Great Product! Great Service! Great Team!

Standing Desk: Getting set-up Having selected a standing desk, at least if you go for a full size automatic desk, there is more to consider than you might imagine. These desks are installed on-site. That might sound like overkill, but it makes transportation easier and provides an option you might not have considered; reusing your existing desk top. For a few years I had been happily using an Ikea desk as my main working area. It had a pleasing darker wood desktop, with just the right amount of space for how I like to spread out. It easily accommodates my iMac, in-tray, space for books, keyboard, mouse & desk stationery. So, I decided to choose the saving of selecting YoYo standing desk frame & reuse of my existing desktop (the size of which worked – even though slightly smaller than YoYo standard desk surfaces. The installer who arrived was a credit to their business. Friendly and helpful, I not only got to see how a standing desk is assembled (the motors within the desk legs are impressively engineered), but also hear about demand. As well as turning up at small business premises like my house, he is seeing increasing demand from large firms. He and his team have actually had orders for over a hundred standing desks from some companies.So, you may be missing out, compared to your competition, if you haven’t considered it. Standing Desk: My experience, 3 months in So, how has my Standing Desk worked for me? Well, I’m very pleased and it is helping my working life in a couple of ways. But, first a caveat, don’t expect to stand up all or even most of the time. Despite the images or even TV programmes you may have seen, you do get tired in your legs & back, plus some research is also now revealing the dangers of overdoing standing. My desk came with advice on how to get started and this recommended at first trying standing for 10-15 minutes power hour. That has continued to work well for me. But, I suffer from low blood pressure, so am not great at standing for prolonged periods, so you may find longer is comfortable. Either way, the advice is to move your feet a littler or at least shift your weight. I find this tends to come naturally. It’s also worth not overlooking the existing reasons you may be getting away from your desk already. Coffee/tea/water breaks, as well as getting up to get something or having a chat with work colleagues/partner, all count. In my case, after suffering with shoulder/arm pain for some time, a physiotherapist has advised not sitting for longer than 30 minutes at a time anyway. I find a reminder on my Apple Watch works well to just buzz me to either switch to standing desk or take a short walk. The result of all this increased standing & moving? I feel much better. More energised & alert, especially in the afternoon, when we have the “slump” that Daniel Pink proved in his research. I’ve also noticed that I am quicker at some of the tasks I stand to do. Akin to the different tasks at different times, recommended in “When“, it is easier to do tasks that require less concentration when standing. So, I find it ideal for social media, emails, planning diary & other admin tasks. While doing these, standing keeps me more alert but also faster. It’s also prompted me to walk when taking a call or thinking something through – a practice that seems to suit my body. Regular readers may be wondering how this all fits with my call for “Deep Work“, as recommended by Cal Newport. Well, it’s true that it breaks up longer periods of time, but I also find it a physical queue to settle down & concentrate when I do sit. Alongside the benefits of improved focus that I have experienced as a result of Mindfulness, mixing sitting & standing working does help me be better and both efficiency times & focus times. It’s also worth noting that another benefit is the precision of adjusting your standing desk. As well as being able to raise to just the right height for you to stand, you can lower to just the right height for you to sit. Definitely more comfortable than a standard desk height.

I have had my sit stand desk for a month now and I am delighted, I wonder why I didn't buy one years ago. We started with trying one desk and over the last few months have replaced all of the desks in the company. They have made a great difference to our office, well being and productivity/concentration and the YoYo mats are a brilliant addition too. I would recommend them unreservedly.

Only having used the sit-stand desk for about a week I can confirm it seems robust and well made. I am 5'11 and when fully extended the keyboard puts the angle of my arms at 90deg. My first impressions are the product is great

BEST INVESTMENT I HAVE MADE FOR PHYSICAL HEALTH, REALLY NOTICED A DIFFERENCE SINCE HAVING THIS DESK, WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND !

I'm still getting used to the standing at my desk, but I love it. My legs still ache, but not as much as they did, and i feel fitter, and have actually lost weight. I highly recommend the system.

I have the yo-yo desk which has really changed my day at work. I have a history of back injury and sitting or standing all day often leaves me with pain. The desk is helping alleviate this and I also feel like I have a lot more energy by the end of the day. Sit-Stand were very friendly and helpful answering all my questions. Now everyone else at work wants one.

Great product. Easy to assemble but they provide option to help with this if needed.

Desk came quickly, and was easy to set up. Before getting the desk, I was experiencing back ache most days. This has largely been alleviated since getting the desk. I spend a couple of hours in the morning on it. You do need a deep desk for the standard Yo-Yo desk to stand on. But, overall, so far so good. I am 5 ft 8 and the desk is just tall enough for me standing. The only downside is the fact that it is so chunky but it is solid and there is no danger of it collapsing.

Great product - most of our team have now asked for Sit Stand desk.

Very easy company to deal with and the products are well built and sturdy. These desks will change my life!

Great Service - We order YoYo90 desks from Sit-Stand for colleagues with a variety of back issues, the desks are normally here within 2 working days and the prices are always the cheapest from the quotes we receive for the exact same product.

I have bee using my standing desk for 2 weeks and it is really excellent. I now find it strange when I lower the desk to sit, and now stand almost all the time. I shoudl avhe done this years ago!

Quality of products and customer service were great. Would recommend.

If you want to keep yourself healthy alongside work then this is the right place to come to. Excellent YO-YO desk, great concept of being healthy as you work. Good and responsive customer service as the team is very helpful in understanding the problems and resolving it at the earliest. Great and sturdy build of the products.

Easy to assemble and straighforward to use - all our staff are very pleased with the Yo-Yo desks and use on a daily basis.

Excellent and ergonomic compact desk, which allows me to easily swap between a seating and standing position.

Excellent communication, short delivery time, and pleasant service from our installer - would recommend.

Having spent 15 years sitting in front of a computer the Yo-Yo desk has changed my life. I'm fitter and my lower back no longer hurts. I now spend over 90% of my time standing.

I had back pain and sciatica pain and doctor and physiotherapy suggest to work while I am standing, This product is very good for flexible working in seating mode and stands mode, Don't hesitate to get it

Easy to use and makes such a difference to not be sat at my desk all day.

New chair great and improved the wellbeing of staff member, looking to roll out to the rest of the team in the future.

Trialing this desk at the moment but so far so good, will definitely be keeping it

Mostly I'm thrilled with my sit-stand desk. I'm not sure how it would be done, but some kind of cable management down the back to prevent cables coming in and being squished when lowering the desk back down would be good. Also, the fine grain texture is awful if writing on thin paper with a biro. Why not make the surface completely smooth?

I have the PRO 2, which I absolutely love, because it makes me feel better and more productive. It moves up and down in seconds to adjust position. More than worth it’s money in gained happiness and productivity.

Great product, first class service. I had an issue with desk during installation but this was resolved within 24 hours.

I have had my sit/stand desk for two weeks and would definitely recommend purchasing one if you spend long hours working from a desktop as I do.

the sit and stand desk works well, I would recommend it

Good home office addition :)

It is amazing! my back pain has gone, I'm happier at work and people don't avoid me now as I'm not grumpy anymore!!!

Good communication, arrived when they said it would, well made, works perfectly......... what more could you ask!

We have 2 of the yoyo desks in the office, you dont realise how much you take for granted the ability to stand and work when you like, until you sit at someone else's desk. The desks still look great and operate flawlessly. I would reccomend for anyone who spends a prolonged amount of time working at their desks.

Hi all, We have been using our YoYo desks for approximately 16 months now and have been really pleased with the quality and functionality of the desks. No mechanical failures at all and we are operating 5 standard and 1 extended desk. Whenever we have visitors who haven't got or even seen these desks they are very impressed with the whole idea behind them and I'm sure a few have ordered their own. The difference for each of us with regard to personal comfort has obviously been the key attribute, with the couple of us having "dodgy" backs feeling the benefit of being able to alternate between standing and sitting - it is also true that the psychological effect of standing when dealing with the morning email surge leads to a more positive approach. All in all, the desks have been a great success and are much appreciated the 6 of us who use them.

Great products, well built and look great. The service and installation was 10/10.
