According to the Stand Up to Work study: 65% of people with height adjustable desks reported increased productivity after one year and also reported better concentration ability. In addition, they said they were more active, refreshed, awake, limber and energetic.

The caliber of materials utilized in the construction of standing desks is one of the main causes of their high cost. Solid wood, steel, or reinforced polymers are examples of high-quality, long-lasting materials that are frequently utilized to make desks that can resist daily use.

A pneumatic standing desk will last for up to 30 years or more. They are known for being able to do 50 000 lift cycles during their lifespan. This is double the amount that is required by BIFMA (Business and Institutional Furniture Manufacturers Association) standards.
