# Inexpensive Standing Desks The 'Oristand' is a User-Friendly Standing Desk That is Also Affordable By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2016-01-13 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oristand References: [fastcoexist](http://www.fastcoexist.com/3055422/this-25-cardboard-sit-stand-desk-means-you-no-longer-have-an-excuse-to-sit?partner=rss) & [oristand.co](http://oristand.co/) The 'Oristand' is a user-friendly standing desk that is inexpensive enough for the average consumer to purchase. While there are a number of standing desks on the market, these devices can cost upwards of several thousand dollars to install. This device offers a simple solution for consumers who like to alternate between sitting and standing as they work. The Oristand is an inexpensive [sit-stand desk](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/herman-miller-spout) designed by Steven Suchy. When not in use, the desk [folds flat for easy storage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pi-lap-desk). However, if the user prefers to stand, the desk can easily be assembled to accommodate standing. The desk itself is made from industrial-grade cardboard, which is both lightweight and durable. The advantage of using cardboard instead of other materials means that the desk is also highly affordable for the average consumer. With a price tag of just $25, the Oristand is perfect for consumers who want to try their very first standing desk. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.6/10 - Popularity: 93% | Activity: 96% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Affordable Standing Desks:** The Oristand offers an affordable solution for consumers who want to try standing desks. - **User-friendly Sit-stand Desks:** The Oristand's simple and foldable design makes it easy to switch between sitting and standing. - **Innovative Cardboard Furniture:** The use of industrial-grade cardboard in the Oristand highlights the potential of affordable and sustainable furniture solutions. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Office Furniture:** The Oristand disrupts the office furniture industry by providing an inexpensive alternative to traditional standing desks. - **Workplace Ergonomics:** The Oristand taps into the growing trend of workplace ergonomics by offering a user-friendly and adjustable sit-stand desk. - **Sustainable Materials:** The use of cardboard in the Oristand showcases the potential for sustainable materials in the furniture industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Slender Flatpack Standing Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/little-bean-standing-desk.md) - [Professional Personalization Standing Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oakywood-standing-desk.md) - [Portable Professional Standing Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-laptop-stand-desk.md) - [Portable Professional Standing Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nomad-desk.md) - [Ergonomic Standing Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ergonomic-standing-desks.md) - [Adjustable Laptop Desk Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sitstand-desk1.md) - [Adjustable Ergonomic Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/croft-sitstand.md) - [Electric Standing Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ergear-electric-standing-desk.md) - [Floor-Sit Desk Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uppeal-desk-lshaped.md)
