Many of us spend most of our day sitting down, and research continues to underline the link between prolonged sitting and health issues. Beyond long-term risks, the short-term effects — back pain, fatigue, sluggish concentration — are already part of our daily experience.

The rise in remote and hybrid work has prompted many of us to rethink how we use our space. In Scandinavia, 80% of office workers are reported to have access to a standing desk, compared to a mere 1% in the UK. While standing desks have been widely promoted as an antidote to sedentary lifestyles, experts are advising that movement is the real key to long-term wellbeing whether sitting or standing.

The compact standing desk meets this need head-on. It's not just a space-saver; it enables you to alternate positions, stay mobile, and build an ergonomic setup that works around you. Whether you’re looking for a manual model or the upgraded electric version with stand-up reminder, the Leitz Standing Desks and Converters range is designed to meet the needs of modern working life and strike the balance between creating a workspace that’s both comfortable and conducive to focus.

Sit. Stand. Move & FEEL GOOD with the Leitz Electric standing desk. It’s 80 x 60 cm desktop provides space for a laptop, monitor, keyboard and other accessories. 4 memory settings, stand-up reminder, USB charging ports and tested and recommended by the German Institute of Health & Ergonomics (IGR).

Finding the right spot for your desk

The compact Leitz desk (measuring at just 65 x 115 cm) is designed to fit into:

  • Underused corners of bedrooms or small offices
  • Shared coworking nooks
  • Multi-purpose rooms, like kitchens or living rooms, without dominating the space

Look for a low-traffic corner with access to power outlets. Natural light is a bonus—it can improve your mood and help reduce eye strain. Position your desk so you’re not facing a wall if possible; a view can help reduce fatigue and spark creativity. If you are not near a window, a desk lamp with adjustable warmth can create a calming ambience.

Assembly:

Once you’ve chosen the right spot, follow these steps for optimum setup:

Assemble with Ease

The desk is delivered in flat-pack form and is quick to assemble with just a few tools. The sturdy steel frame and high-quality motor are designed for long-term daily use, so take care during assembly to ensure stability. Full instructions are included, and no complex wiring is required.

Adjust the Height (65–130 cm)

Once assembled, use the easy-touch control panel to raise or lower the desk. You can save up to four height preferences, so you can effortlessly switch between seated and standing positions at the touch of a button. The four height preferences are also useful if you are likely to share this desk with a colleague or family member.

For optimal ergonomics:

  • Elbows should be at a 90° angle when typing
  • Screen top should be at or slightly below eye level
  • Feet flat on the floor or on a footrest

Enable the Stand-Up Reminder

Activate the integrated reminder function to notify you when it’s time to switch positions. You can customise the interval based on your needs — ideal for keeping good posture habits without breaking your flow.

Manage Your Cables

Use the built-in cable tray to route wires neatly under the desk. This helps reduce distractions and hazards, especially in shared rooms or open-plan spaces.

Finishing Touches – Add Ergonomic Accessories

Smart storage – think vertical, stay tidy - In small spaces, clutter adds up fast. Keep your desk clear by using vertical shelving or a pegboard system to store essentials like chargers, notebooks and stationery. Limit items on your desk to the essentials – screen, keyboard, mouse. Use the built in cable tray to route wires neatly – a tidy surface helps reduce distractions and make transitions between sitting and standing feel smoother.

Optimise for Movement – Ergonomic Accessories That Make a Big Difference

Standing doesn’t mean standing still. Standing desks are most effective when paired with accessories that support movement and comfort.

Here’s what we recommend:

 - Pegboard

This unique desk organisers is easy to mount to a compact desk and will bring your laptop screen (up to 15" laptop with a max depth of 245mm) to the perfect height to help prevent neck and back pain while working.

 - Monitor arm or stand

Your screen should be at eye level to avoid neck and shoulder strain. If you're using a laptop, pair it with a laptop stand and an external keyboard and mouse for ideal posture.

- Anti-fatigue mat

When you’re standing, your feet (and lower back) will thank you for using a supportive mat. Try the Leitz Ergo Cosy Anti-Fatigue Mat - it cushions your feet and reduces pressure whilst encouraging micro-movements.
