The Altwork Working Station Lets You Sit, Stand Or Recline

— October 29, 2015 — Lifestyle
The Altwork Station is a working station that is a response to the now-common knowledge that sitting at a desk is actually really bad for your health. Standing desks are well and good, but the Altwork Station takes things to the next level by allowing you to sit, stand or recline in order to ensure that you are physically comfortable and productive.

This working station consists of an ergonomic chair, a tiny desk and a massive monitor stand, although users can drop extra money for additional stands and attachments. The Altwork Station's different positions can be controlled electronically using a tiny desk-mounted control. The station is equipped with adjustable levers that allow you to control the finer aspects of the working station's position.

Ultimately, the Altwork Station is part of the revolution in office health, and is a welcome alternative to regular desks and chairs.
