MEET STEPHANIE AND READ HER CLIENT REVIEW
Why did I want a standing desk?
I, Stephanie, am a 33 year old woman who has been working in the field of wellness and essential oils for many years now. I obviously spend most of my time working behind a desk, providing online training and coaching and promoting my products through social media.
But it has become quite exhausting lately, especially since the Covid pandemic started, working mostly from home, I just sit at my desk from morning to night.
The consequences were unpleasant back pain, which I couldn’t get under control despite going for walks every day and exercising regularly. Even special back training only helped for a short time, which is why I’m really desperate. Even before Corona, I tried to deal with standing while working, which was a complicated matter without a standing desk, moving from my regular desk to my high-kitchen table.
Although I found some comfort with this solution, it was clearly a short-time option, and my back pain didn’t get any better. Thus, I quickly started thinking about buying a real standing desk.
How did I find out about Standsome?
When looking for a standing desk, three things were particularly important to me: sustainability, attractive design and price. Since most electrically height-adjustable tables are not particularly sustainable and are also expensive, they fell out of the closer selection.
Luckily, I spotted an ad from Standsome on Instagram. I was immediately excited as they met all three criteria and client reviews were super positive.
Why did Standsome Convince me?
Transparency
Visually, Standsome is simply a total highlight, there’s no question about that. I still had to think about the purchase. Due to the transparent breakdown of the costs, however, the price is understandable and, in my opinion, justified by the high quality of the product.
Sustainability
Standsome also really convinced me in terms of sustainability. I think it’s great to be able to convince yourself that no Greenwashing is being done. The wood used is FSC certified, the product is sent with perfectly adapted packaging and no plastic at all, and the shipping is compensated.
In addition, the Standsomes are manufactured near home in Montreal Canada, and use high quality Canadian wood.
Practical and Stable
Surely, I still thought long and hard about whether I really needed a Standsome or whether I could build something myself. But after several failed attempts to create something myself, I had to realize that none of the ideas were stable and practical enough in the long term.
That’s why I was and still am convinced that a targeted investment in a sustainable product and above all in your own health is more sustainable than makeshift solutions and back pain.

How do I use my Standsome?
I’m glad I decided on the Standsome Free in maple wood with 2 wide shelves and have been testing it at home for two months now. It’s near my regular desk and if I want to work sitting down, I just put it next to it or move down one of the shelves. This is really easy.
From time to time I also use the Standsome as a shelf, for example when I’m working on my photoshoots or simply to display my collection of essential oils. And for the summer I move it in my terrasse so I can keep working while enjoying the beautiful Montrealer summer and my green garden.
In addition, and although I decided to purchase the larger version the company offers, the Standsome Free is still very light and I can easily move it from my home office to amy garden according to my needs.
I mainly use the Standsome to work while standing. On some working days I even stood at my Standsome from morning to evening. I had to prepare my desk a bit for this, but working with two screens also works great.
MY CUSTMER REVIEW ON STANDSOME
Working standing up means I don’t get tired as quickly because I’m always on the move. Because I can rock along to my background music and the change between sitting and standing gets my circulation going. At the beginning I sometimes thought that I was tired and that’s why I couldn’t stand, but when I worked my way up standing, I found that I actually became more alert and productive. Another positive aspect is that my back pain is gone now.
But working standing up wasn’t always that easy. Especially at the beginning I had to get used to it, partly because I first had to learn how to use the space properly. And I can say it was really worth it!
A little tip I can give here is to take your time and try out a lot. It can take time to find your new workflow with the Standsome.
CONCLUSION
Both at work on site and in the home office, I now always work standing up whenever possible. This is a great development and I’m very happy to have the opportunity to test the Standsome Free standing desk. My back pain is gone, and I generally feel much fresher and fitter during and after work.
Overall, I recommend the Standsome Free to everyone, regardless of whether they have back pain or not, it is always worth bringing a little more exercise into a sedentary everyday life.
I am now planning to complete my workstation with a Standsome Slim, which is lighter and easier to carry than the Free, so that I can have a nomad standing desk that I can bring with me to my favorite park, where I love to go and work outside whenever the sun shines.
