Bear in mind Standing Desks? Scientists Simply Discovered One thing That May Make You Need One Once more

The U.S. standing-desk market could hit $2.1 billion by 2030.

EXPERT OPINION BY BILL MURPHY JR., FOUNDER OF UNDERSTANDABLY AND CONTRIBUTING EDITOR, INC. @BILLMURPHYJR

I was planning ahead for once, getting my skis ready for the winter.

As I looked around the garage, I realized that I’ve built a small accidental “museum of business trends of the past.” Featured exhibit: an inexpensive, decade-old standing desk that I bought and used until it got a bit banged up — and I frankly moved on from that trend.

I have a feeling there might be a lot of garages like this.

Standing desks were once all the rage, and I have the articles we wrote here at Inc.com to back it up. Heck, I even wrote at the time that using a desk like this in my home office was “amazing.”

Now, I can’t remember the last time I visited an office and saw standing desks as a common feature. But a new study suggests maybe it’s a trend worth at least thinking about again.

Writing in the journal Theoretical and Applied Ergonomics, researchers from Texas A&M University examined data from 10,145 California employees.

Their company had collected information about employees’ workstations and physical comfort as part of a workplace wellness program. It also used software that recorded computer activity, including keystrokes, mouse clicks, words typed, and typing errors.
