Spending long hours sitting in your home office can take a toll on your body.

According to Healthline, over half of us spend six hours sitting every day, and continuing to do so can have long-term health repercussions, such as weakened glutes, a bad back, tight hips, weight gain and the risk of getting cardiovascular disease. Sitting down for too long can also increase your chances of getting cancer and diabetes.

Fortunately, the VariDesk Pro Plus can transform your sedentary lifestyle into a more productive one. The standing desk converter comes with a two-tier design: an upper deck for your computer monitor and a lower deck for your keyboard and mouse. A spring-assisted lift allows you to adjust the VariDesk Pro Plus at 11 different height settings. The best part? Your monitor and accessories can move with you.

There’s no assembly required, as the VariDesk Pro Plus comes ready-to-use once it’s taken out of the box. All you have to do is set it on an existing desk, place your monitor and get to work.
