Working from home during the pandemic? Get comfortable for less than $40!
Share
Many employers have offered their employees the opportunity to work from home, while we’re all trying to keep our “social distance”.
Some employers may have allowed you to take all your desk equipment home. But many of you are likely working with just your computer.
Did you have a sit-stand desk setup at the office? If you’ve got a folding table, you can recreate it at home! Even if you didn’t have one at work, you can try it out at home with your folding table.
Why do a sit/stand setup at home?
Long-time readers know we’ve explored why sitting all day is so bad for you. That doesn’t change just because you’re sitting at home in your chair, instead of sitting in your desk chair at the office! Even if your computer set-up is ergonomic, your back still benefits from periods of standing.
The modern world doesn’t love your back or your physical health, but that doesn’t mean you can’t!
Being at home is even more conducive to a sit/stand desk. You can add movement without getting any funny looks from your coworkers – or your boss!
Spending more time with your kids that are home from school? Letting them stand to do projects is great for their little bodies and minds as well.
Why folding tables are great for a sit/stand setup
I mean, you could try to order one of the standing desk setups from Amazon, but most of them cost hundreds of dollars. Your employer might reimburse you for it. But they might not. Especially if you don’t currently have one at your workplace.
Many people already own a folding table. You might have one for tailgates or picnics. Or you might have one for your crafting table, or for displays if you like to go to trade shows. Or for some other reason – they come in pretty handy for a number of uses!
Rather than buy something that’s entirely new, reuse what you’ve got.
How to convert your folding table
The problem is that the usual height of your folding table is good for sitting and eating. Your back is going to kill you at the end of the day if you spend your time standing at it without making adjustments! The usual height is too low for people to work comfortably while they’re standing.
Fortunately, we have an easy solution that’s less than $40! Our Standing Desk Kit is a set of folding table risers that will lift your folding table to working desk height. They’re easy to install, so you don’t have to spend a lot of time adjusting between standing and sitting.

I set up an area on my back porch for bleaching and dyeing shirts. Unfortunately, the tables I got didn't have adjustable heights. My back was constantly aching from bending over a table for prolonged periods. I ordered these after seeing all the reviews on Amazon. What a lifesaver! They went on so easily and the tables are super sturdy. Perfect height for working without pain!! Would recommend to anyone and everyone!
I ordered the wrong size from Amazon. When I tried to return them, Amazon directed me to the Lift Your Table company. I spoke with Bethany and she helped me figure out what size I need. She did not charge me for the additional expense of the larger size. She only charged me $15 for shipping. She told me that I didn’t need to return the original set but to gift them to someone who could use them. She was very professional and very kind. I highly recommend this “Made in America” company!
The NuChair design makes sense, so I bought one, and my staff love it! It does offload the low back when sitting and maintains tall strong sitting posture while sitting. In 40 years of practice I have never seen a chair that can deliver good ergonomics and postural support. The NuChair is the NuWay to get it done. Bravo.
These are a life-saver. I am going to get them for all of my work tables. No more hunching over! And, I can stand and work if I want to. We know that sitting is really bad for us. This was a VERY worthwhile purchase.
I am a DJ and I get tired of bending over all the time on a normal table. This thing did the trick! It puts everything at a much easier level so I can see it and reach for it so much easier.
Wow! These were the perfect solution to use at our food booth during a big event. Instead of purchasing another stainless steel prep table, we used these to elevate our normal 8′ tables and they were a lifesaver! Or should I say back-saver?
After a month, it’s really hard to complain about much regarding the chair. My shoulders, neck, and lower back all feel the difference, and as a 25 year tattooist, I feel the effects of work on my body. I train, stretch, and eat well, but also have a massive neck injury that has threatened to take me from my career, and it feels like this chair adds some years back!
My only suggestions would be for a more breathable, simple to clean material. Wearing jeans in this chair can get fairly sweaty, but I’m working around that.
Additionally, the other thought I had was to offer a shock height option for those of us that are tall. I suggested it already to the staff, and they provided me full specs on the current shock so I would be able to find a larger one utilizing the same width dimensions.
Great product, great communication, and a great company
