  • Frequently Asked Questions
    Height Adjustable Desks

    How often should I change between sitting and standing at a height adjustable desk?

    There’s no single rule that works for everyone, but many ergonomics experts recommend changing posture around every 20–30 minutes. Height adjustable desks make these changes simple, whether that’s standing for a short period, returning to a seated position, or making small height adjustments while working. The goal isn’t to follow a strict schedule, but to use your height adjustable desk as a tool to support regular movement and comfort throughout the day.

    Do sit stand desks replace the need for an ergonomic chair?

    No — sit stand desks and ergonomic chairs work best together. Even with a height adjustable desk, you’ll still spend part of your day sitting, so having proper back support, adjustability, and comfort remains important. An ergonomic chair supports healthy seated posture, while a sit stand desk gives you the freedom to vary how you work. Together, they create a more flexible workspace that supports movement, comfort, and focus across the day.

    Are standing desks suitable for shared or hot‑desking offices?

    Yes. Sit stand desks are particularly well suited to shared and hot‑desking environments because they can be easily adjusted to suit different users. Height adjustable desks allow each person to set the desk to a comfortable seated or standing height, supporting neutral posture regardless of body size. This flexibility makes sit stand desks a practical choice for workplaces with rotating staff, hybrid teams, or activity‑based working setups, helping ensure comfort without the need for permanent desk assignments.

    What is the weight rating of a standing desk, and why does it matter?

    A standing desk’s weight rating (or load capacity) is the maximum evenly distributed weight the desk can safely lift and lower, including monitors, accessories, and the desktop itself. A higher weight rating helps ensure better stability, smoother height adjustment, and longer lifespan, particularly for setups with multiple monitors or daily use.

    Most height adjustable desks range from around 70kg to 180kg+, with commercial‑grade dual‑motor desks typically sitting between 120–160kg. Buro standing desks are designed with a commercial load capacity of 140kg, supporting stable, reliable performance in professional work environments.

    I’ve been using this gaming chair for both gaming and working from home, and it’s been a great upgrade. It’s very comfortable, with solid back and shoulder support that makes longer sessions much easier. The cushioning feels supportive without being too soft, and I don’t feel sore or fatigued after sitting for extended periods. The chair feels sturdy and well made, with smooth movement and easy adjustments to get the right position. I also like that the design looks clean and modern rather than overly flashy, so it fits well in my home setup. Overall, it’s a comfortable and reliable gaming chair that offers good value and noticeable support compared to standard chairs. I've had a few gaming chairs, and this one is by far the best I've sat in. - JB HI-FI customer
