Standing desk

Several writers and statesmen wrote standing up: Thomas Jefferson, Charles Dickens, Winston Churchill, Ernest Hemingway,[2] Henry Wadsworth Longfellow[3] and Vladimir Nabokov.

[6] Some antique standing desks have an open frame with drawers, and a foot rail (similar to those seen at a bar) to reduce back pain.

A hinged desktop could be lifted in order to access a small cabinet underneath it so that the user could store or retrieve papers and writing implements without needing to bend over or stand back from the desk.

Low-quality evidence indicates that providing employees with a standing desk option may reduce the length of time some people sit in the first year.

[6] It is not clear how standing desks compare to other work-place interventions to reduce the length of time employees are sitting during the work day.
