My employer does offer support in furniture for home office e.g. desk and chair, but after careful consideration I think it would be better if I build one by myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m used to focusing on my screen for quite a long time, say 2 hours. This is definitely not a good practice and may cause HIVD (herniation of intervertebral disc). One of the precautions is &#8211; work on your feet! Just stand up and you can continue your work on screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is to say, having a height adjustable desk could be one of the best options. I started from pre-assembled standing desk at first, however, they are pricey and their desktop are usually made from cheap materials including pine, plastic or even particle boards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then I decided to make it my own. Obviously I need two stuff &#8211; desk frame and desktop. Very fortunately I have found quite a few desk frame products on Amazon.co.uk and the brands include Flexispot, MAIDeSITe and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/MAIDeSITe-Adjustable-Electric-Two-Stage-Automatic\/dp\/B08CNB7H23?crid=MFJNHG8SFUTC&amp;keywords=b08cnb7h23&amp;qid=1679698602&amp;s=kitchen&amp;sprefix=b08cnb7h23%2Ckitchen%2C70&amp;sr=1-1&amp;linkCode=li2&amp;tag=amazon0d2b2-21&amp;linkId=f60ea9dfe7fa7e6e8f6513bb7a2bbd67&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_il\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img border=\"0\" src=\"\/\/ws-eu.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?_encoding=UTF8&amp;ASIN=B08CNB7H23&amp;Format=_SL160_&amp;ID=AsinImage&amp;MarketPlace=GB&amp;ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;WS=1&amp;tag=amazon0d2b2-21\"><\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/ir-uk.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/ir?t=amazon0d2b2-21&amp;l=li2&amp;o=2&amp;a=B08CNB7H23\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" style=\"border:none !important; margin:0px !important;\">\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/MAIDeSITe-Adjustable-Electric-Two-Stage-Automatic\/dp\/B08CNB7H23?&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=amazon0d2b2-21&amp;linkId=9a4705f039cf956f2c030a06db604f46&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">(AD) Height Adjustable Electric Standing Desk Frame on Amazon.co.uk<\/a>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the sake of my wallet I added this MAIDeSITe T1 Basic to my cart.
