The Harmoni Standing Desk
Why should I stand to work?
Depression: Studies have found that sitting for more than 7 hours daily increases the risk of depression by almost 50%. The decrease in blood circulation makes it harder for happiness hormones like endorphins, dopamine, and serotonin to reach receptors in the brain
Musculoskeletal disorders and pain: Sitting hunched over a desk can cause shoulder, neck and back problems as it puts pressure on the discs in your spine. Sitting can also lead to problems with your wrists and hands, including repetitive strain injury, as poor posture strains the muscles and tendons in your wrist
Metabolic problems: When sitting, sugars and fats are less well absorbed by your body than when you move, this can lead to serious health problems such as metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes
Shortens life expectancy: A study by Columbia University found that people who sat in 30-minute stretches had a 55% lower death risk compared to those that sat for longer periods at a time. At the same time, people that often sit for more than 90 minutes at a time have a nearly two-fold greater risk of death. Even more alarmingly, the study found that this increase in mortality is independent of physical activity level. This means that even active people who sit for long periods at work are still at a high risk of premature death despite regular exercise
How to use Harmoni?
To assemble:
1. Place the base of the stand into the bottom slot of the structure
2. Place the bottom shelf into the structure at a height that is comfortable for you, keep in mind that your elbows are best at an angle of about 90 degrees. Positioning the shelf at this level will help you to minimise any hand, wrist and arm discomfort that you may have experienced using a regular desk
3. Set the top shelf at a height such that you work with your head inclined at a slight angle, approximately 30 degrees or less. Matching the shelf closely to your eye level in this way will help you to minimise eye strain and prevent back problems
