Trends in Desks

Are you an old-fashioned roll-top type of desk lover or looking for something more trendy?

Stand up desks are all the rage right now. Personally, I don’t have one, but neither do I have anything against them. I suppose I’d give one a whirl. Might be good on the back instead of sitting slouchy all day.

But recently I came across another desk trend that might be the next best thing to take the place of the stand up desk…the treadmill desk. Yep. Not even kidding. Apparently there are several reported benefits to strolling while you work on the computer:

• Stimulates focus
• Keeps you from dozing off
• Better sleep at night after walking all day

And those are just a few. However, despite all the pros related to the treadmill desk, I don’t think I’ll be rushing out to snatch one up. These might be great for athletic types but I’ve never been amongst that ilk. My great fear would be falling off and taking the whole computer rigging down with me. Good thing ol’ Santa didn’t bring me one of these bad boys.

I’ll just stick with my regular sit-down desk. You?
