It’s been almost a year since working from home became an integral part of our lives. The constraints resulting from the pandemic have forced us to convert a room or space in our homes into a work office. While some people prefer a standard work desk, others prefer standing when they work. Building a DIY standing desk is a great way to optimize your work environment and help you be sharp, productive, and focused. In light of this information, you may want to replace your standard work desk with a sit-stand desk.
