Back-to-School the Better Way

In this blog post, we look at getting an electric standing desk for students going back to school. Why is an electric standing desk a great choice to start the new school or college year? What are the benefits for students and how do you choose the right desk for them?

As the new school year starts, it’s important for students to quickly re-establish a good study routine so they can then progress well throughout the whole year. School & college students spend a lot of hours studying at home, and should have a desk to study comfortably and effectively. An electric standing desk is the optimum kind of desk for students. It’s a great first desk for serious study or a major desk upgrade to replace a standard desk.



Why Electric Standing Desks are Good for Students

An electric sit and stand desk is all about flexibility and freedom. Switching from sitting to standing while studying can boost focus and productivity. An electric sit & stand desk can adjust exactly to a child or young adult’s height, and adapt as they continue to grow taller. Although children generally reach their final adult height around their mid-teens (by about 15 for girls and 18 for boys) some people still continue growing slightly taller into their 20s.

It’s important to establish ergonomic comfort for growing children and maintain it for young people in their prime. Youth is a time of growth and realizing potential in every aspect of life, from physical achievements to mental & emotional development. The physical & mental stresses of bad setups and sub-optimal routines should be avoided at all costs. A desk with electric height adjustment promotes optimum posture for all heights, positions, and personal needs. This reduces strain on neck, shoulders, and back for all-day comfort. Having a comfortable and flexible setup encourages more focused and effective study. It can even be the foundation for professional working practices in adult working life.

Another important benefit of electric height adjustable desks is they are awesome!... Or any other equivalent word that young people might prefer to use like phat, lit, hua, or nuo. The last two may not be legit synonyms for ‘awesome,’ but they are cool when you combine them. Anyway, the first time someone uses an electric raisable desk, there’s usually a noticeable hint of excitement. It’s A DESK… that MOVES… up AND down! A good electric desk does this so smoothly and quietly that it seems a bit like magic! Then there’s the realization that you can use it sitting OR standing OR anywhere inbetween! Then there are the custom height presets that bring the desk to the right sitting or standing height with the press of a button. It looks like magic and mindreading (it’s also really convenient). The cool factor of getting and using an electric adjustable desk is something special, and a good way to encourage serious study.



Tips for Choosing the Right Desk for Students

Before getting into the details, I want you to visualize the electric standing desk being used in the place you plan to put it. If it’s in a bedroom or other personal space, it’s likely that only the person in that room is using it. However, if it’s in a living room, home office, or other shared space, it’s likely that the standing desk will be used by more than one person and for a wider range of uses. This really affects your choice of desk (to meet the needs of the user or users), so keep this in mind when deciding. The adjustability & flexibility of a desk with electric height adjustment makes it ideal for multiple users and uses. It can be used by adults & children for work, study, or leisure.

Size: There are usually three or four size options. It’s important to get a desk with plenty of space while still ensuring it fits the specific location well. Be careful not to limit freedom and flexibility by getting a desk that’s only just big enough. You need space for devices like a monitor, laptop, tablet, phone, keyboard & mouse. Then there are the personal items like pictures and plants. Students likely need more space for books, papers, and stationery.

Shape: Desks come in different shapes like standard, corner, or L-shaped. L-shaped desks effectively put another desk on one side, while corner versions have a more modest corner extension. The extra space gives more flexibility to expand the setup and still keep things in easy reach. The extension could have an alternative setup ready for a different user or use without the need to shuffle stuff around.

Color: Options may include light brown, dark brown, black, and white. These kinds of simple colors are generally the best. Elementary black or white are very plain and professional, which makes them ideal for focused study or work. If black and white seem too stark and souless, light and dark brown wood patterns offer more life and style without overwhelming the senses and affecting focus. Beyond these kinds of colors & patterns, proceed with caution... Bolder color choices risk clashing with home decor, alienating people, and falling out of fashion & favor! Even so, if you’re choosing a desk for one person and their own space, getting a desk in the color they love could just be the best thing ever! Judge carefully, including checking customer images for a better idea of actual color tone in different lights and locations.

Height Adjustment Range & Settings: An electric height adjustable desk is ideal for multiple users. Electric adjustable desks with a wider height adjustment range like HUANUO’s can cover sitting and standing positions for children about 11 or 12 years old up to adults about 6ʹ3″ tall. Custom height settings really make switching simple & seamless. There may be two, three, or four buttons to set to favorite heights. Two is enough for simple switching between sitting and standing heights. Three means more flexibility for different positions. Four is ideal for regular use by two different users; great if it will be shared for work and for study.

Storage Features: A messy & cluttered desk seriously affects focus & efficiency. Ultimately, it could become unmanageable! It’s important to keep the desk and surrounding area reasonably tidy. Desk storage features make a big difference to desk organization and functionality. Desks with storage hooks, keyboard trays, and monitor stands & drawers have more space for stuff and stay clear of clutter.

It could change the way they study or even transform their life!
