Why Expensive Standing Desks Are Often A Waste Of Money

(Ferenstein Wire)  – The White House reportedly wants to shell out a whopping $700,000 for standing desks. While it’s true that sitting all day long has debilitating health effects, and it’s smart business to keep employees healthy, it’s an extraordinary amount of money to pay for something that can be recreated with a free cardboard box. Additionally, the research on standing desks (as opposed to treadmill walking desks) is far less clear about the actual impacts on health.
