SmartDesk 2 Home Edition - a motorized desk for work and entertainment

The adaptability of modern life has led to the automation and robotization of hard manual labor. Work now requires less movement, anticipating a sedentary lifestyle. Our body needs to move actively, otherwise health problems will inevitably arise. It is not for nothing that they say: "Movement is life". The so-called standing desk is now gaining popularity in the United States. They are motorized tables that allow you to adjust the height of the tabletop so that a person can not only sit behind them but also stand without feeling discomfort. Today we head to California (USA), where a company known for its innovative approach to furniture production, Autonomous has unveiled its new SmartDesk 2 Home Edition desk, fitted with a high-quality 135cm German-made motor powered by a power supply and weighing in. 100 kg.

Features of the novelty

The American labor productivity experts conducted a series of experiments, which proved that periodically changing the posture of employees from sitting to standing and vice versa contributes to improving performance. There is still a lot of controversy on this topic with varying success. However, many offices and private homes in the United States have been equipped with a variety of standing desks that allow them to work not only sitting but also standing.

Autonomous was founded by people of the millennial generation (the youth born between 1981 and 1996) who are most involved in modern technology. She is far from being new to the production of motorized furniture and has repeatedly attracted funds for its production through crowdfunding resources, which exceeded the required amount several times. Earlier, we talked about another product of this manufacturer - Smart Desk Mini - a small motorized table, which is placed on top of the ordinary, has height adjustment, monitor holder bracket, differs overall table top - 84.5 * 51 cm, as well as steel components (you can read more about it on the link below).

What sets Autonomous products apart is the consistently high quality that the company has maintained since its inception. All smart desks are subject to mandatory certification by an independent US inspection agency UL. They are also EMC certified, so you may not worry about the safety of your nearby devices.
