In recent years, multiple studies have linked extended periods of sitting to weight gain/obesity as well as life-threatening conditions such as diabetes and heart disease. In the wake of these findings, more and more workers and employers have been singing the praises of standing desks.
For those who want to capitalize on the benefits of a standing desk while retaining the option to sit when desired or necessary, the state-of-the-art furniture company Uhuru has released the Minim Rise — an extremely comfortable and highly versatile sit/stand workstation with timeless appeal.
Uhuru begins with quality materials that have been staples of high-end workplace furniture for decades if not centuries. Minim Rise desktops are crafted from high-quality, sustainably-forested walnut or oak and protected by contract-grade laminates in four different finish options. These desktops rest upon durable steel bases in contract-grade powder coats of white, black, or smoky “Uhuru black.”
Taking these classic workstation components to the next level, Uhuru incorporates an industry leading electronic lift system into the base of the Minim Rise, allowing workers to raise and lower the desktop with the touch of a button. Whether sitting or standing, workers can rest easy knowing that all power cords and data connections are securely integrated within the Minim Rise’s innovative power/data tray.
