I am going to be straight from the start: pricing is one of the points we look for when considering a range. But quality and sturdiness take priority. We are not a budget shop by any means but you definitely get what you pay for.
Even more so when it comes to a childs adjustable desk. For sure you can buy cheaper desks that your child could sit at and it might serve then for a few years. But I’m a fan of the mantra “Buy cheap, buy twice”.
So here are 6 reasons why you would consider an adjustable desk for your child.
1. It grows with them.
It is a fact of nature that your children will grow. A lot. In my son’s case, he hit 6 foot when he left high school. So rather than fork out 2-3 times for a desk throughout their childhood, a standing desk can simply be adjusted with crank. The crank is detachable and can be kept nearby when not in use.
2. It corrects posture
Posture is very key for any growing child. Proper posture helps children keep their body functioning well.
According to UCLA, poor posture in children can lead to a chronically misaligned spine, leading to more problems. A height adjustable desk helps children keep a neutral spine alignment, reducing back pain and musculoskeletal problems.
Also having the option to stand, engages core muscles which helps to maintain a natural posture.
3 Helps with Neurodivergence.
According to NHS England, around 1 in 7 children in the UK are estimated to be Neurodivergent. A height adjustable/standing desk provides flexibility to accommodate their unique needs.
A flexible desk gives your child the control over their own workspace by sitting or standing. This can minimise their sensory stress, increase comfort and overall improve their attention and engagement. Way better than sitting for hours on end!
4. Brings many health benefits
We have touched on the key benefit of posture, but an adjustable desk encourages movement and physical activity.
This improves muscle strength, circulation and reduces the risk of obesity and chronic diseases.
5. Better academic performance.
An adjustable desk can make your child more brainy.
Standing and moving throughout the day can boost cognitive function, attention span and memory performance. This all helps with academic performance and better concentration.
6. The Top can be Replaced.
Maybe you opted for a bright desktop when they’re a child. Fast forward a few years and junior changes their taste in colour completely? Not a problem! Desktops can be replaced with a new colour/material desktop.
We include all the dimensions and maximum weight capacity for all our models. As long as they are adhered to, this should not be an issue.
Conclusion
Investing in a childs adjustable desk early on can benefit your children for years to come. They can reap the benefits of better health, better academic performance and reduce their risk of obesity and other nasties in the long term.
