standing desk
Vertical work surface
A standing desk is a desk designed for working while standing rather than sitting.
The height accommodates a standing user, with the work surface at roughly elbow level.
Many standing desks are adjustable, allowing users to alternate between sitting and standing: I switch my standing desk to sitting mode for video calls.
Marketed for health benefits, though evidence remains mixed.
