The thing I don't understand is why it's more popular to have motorized desks that go up and down instead of just having fixed desks at standing height and taller chairs.
Sitting on a chair that you can't put your feet on the ground is extremely uncomfortable. Even if they have a bar to put them on at the base, it's still a very awkward position
I can tell the person who asked this is short, short people seem to be used to this and don't feel uncomfortable like that. At least, according to my wife. I always feel very uncomfortable if my feet can't be on the ground.
Wait, you're not supposed to put your feet on the chair?
I worked at a standing desk with a tall chair that had a bar for your feet. I found it was downright perfect. But, every solution will have the lovers and the haters.
Well the taller chairs would be a problem with the higher center of gravity I imagine
You ever fall off a barstool at a Chili’s when you’re gonna go piss because you forgot that the high tops where the only tables available?
I don’t wanna bring that embarrassment to the office.
Because of people like me who are much taller than the average person and would have a hard time using a set position desk that's made for people between 5'4'' and 5'9''. It's also bad ergonomics to sit so high your feet don't reach the ground.
popular? I had never seen those and thought this comic made them up just for this joke? X3 what/where r they used for? I had never used a table and wished I could make it taller or shorter
You make it taller so you can work while standing, and lower when you want to sit.
ohhh right I guess that makes sense if u need to be on a desk for hours, duh X3
They are a real thing. I had one at a previous job
Ooo yeah that looks great! and expensive too >u<
