The DeskRite Mobile Transportable Height Adjustable Desk from Posturite offers those interested in working from a standing or leaning position a compact solution sized to fit even the smallest of home offices. A foot-activated gas spring permits height adjustment to any point between 31.1" and 46.6".
This desk is designed with mobility and transportability in mind and works best as a laptop or notebook standing/leaning workstation. The incorporated wheels and handle facilitate ease of movement between locations and the full folding capability means it can also be transported to remote work locations to serve as a temporary work station for on-the-go notebook users. The adjustable height range also allows the DeskRite Mobile Desk to serve well as temporary podium, accommodating a range of heights while also offering a much larger surface than traditional podiums.
The top is supported by a steel column containing the gas spring height adjustment mechanism. A convenient hand release just below the desk surface lets each individual choose the angle that best meets their working requirement - lockable at any point from a slight -2° tilt to folded fully vertical against the lift column. A ledge along the front edge of work surface ensures that laptops, notebooks, or papers cannot slide off of the tilted surface.
Multiple Working Postures - While this mobile desk solution functions best as a standing or leaning desk the height adjustable surface encourages individuals to change working postures, even if only for short breaks from standing. Because the minimum desk height is slightly greater than an average desk height it would not be practical to sit for extended periods unless a non-traditional elevated seating solution such as a saddle seat is being used. Transitioning between these positions encourages greater activity in the work place, bringing associated health benefits as workers are able to move away from a completely sedentary environment.
Infinitely Adjustable, Effortless Height Adjustment - The base provides infinite adjustment of height from 31.1" to 46.6", allowing individuals to quickly and precisely adjust the height of the worksurface to the most suitable height for the desired workstation configuration (sitting, standing, or anything in-between).
Accommodates Nearly All Standing Heights - The range of adjustment is sufficient to accommodate even tall individuals, leaning or standing, up to 6' 4". Note: the minimum height of 31.1" means that this product is not well-suited for use with traditional office chairs and should therefore only be used for short periods unless a suitable elevated sitting solution such as a saddle seat is available).
Height Adjustable: The top is easily adjusted to any point from 31.1" to 46.6" which means that it can serve as a temporary sitting desk or accommodate heights to well over 6 feet for use as a standing laptop desk.
Tilting Table Top: The desk surface is easily tilted to any point between -2° and -90°. The tilt can help compensate for the higher-than-average minimum desk height, making it easier to work from a seated position for short periods.
Mobile: The included transport wheels facilitate easy movement between locations, letting this desk serve well as a mobile workstation.
Compact Size: The 31" width means that the desk can be easily wheeled where needed, even through average doorways.
Convenient Height Adjustment Foot Release: The release for raising and lowering the desk is easily accessed with either foot.
Folds for Storage and Transport: To facilitate better storage the top is easily folded flat against the lifting column, leaving the legs in place to support it in an upright position. For transport or more compact storage the legs can also be folded up against the top, leaving the transport handle and wheels exposed for ease of movement. When fully folded the desk dimensions are approximately 31" wide x 37" long x 8" high, compact enough to easily fit in most vehicles.

When using this as a computer workstation adjust the height and tilt to match your height, whether sitting, leaning or standing. You want to have your elbows hanging almost directly below your shoulders, with your shoulders relaxed. Your elbows should be roughly level with, or just slightly below the front edge of the desk, depending to a degree on how steep an angle the surface is set to.
If the desk surface is appropriately positioned, you should be able to type with your forearms and back of your hands aligned almost straight.
If using this with a laptop, get an external keyboard to position at the front edge. You can then place the laptop higher up and further away on the surface. This will provide you with a better viewing distance and reduce the amount of angle that you need to bend your neck to when viewing the screen. You may also wish to deploy a laptop stand to elevate the screen even further.
Consider getting a leaning stool or saddle seat to reduce the amount of time spent in static standing. Both of these can encourage regular changes in posture because of the ease of transitioning to and from a standing position.
Consider getting an anti-fatigue mat to provide cushioning to your feet. Not only will your feet thank you but you will also find you are less fatigued at the end of the day and more able to engage in recreational activities.
