Researchers have found that standing for as little as 90-minutes, for five days, on a concrete floor can cause serious discomfort to the feet, legs and back, as well as causing stiffness to the neck and shoulders. Standing for periods longer than 90 minutes can result in even more serious conditions such as circulatory problems. ( Loughborough University, 2012)
Statistically significant benefits have been found when subjects stand on "anti-fatigue" mats. These mats are designed to reduce stresses on the feet and leg when standing for long periods, which can help prevent many of these health concerns.

XAt Keeble Outlets™ we work hard to provide our customers with high quality products that are both functional and durable. Chris Keef, Director of Corporate Branding says "I started using a standing desk a little over two years ago. After a herniated disk (L4-L5 vertebrae) in my back three years ago, sitting in an office chair for eight or nine hours a day proved to be extremely uncomfortable. I needed a better solution, so a standing desk made a lot of sense. Research has proven that a standing desk has enormous health benefits. Most products on the market were just too soft and really didn't provide much support. So, we sourced a product that fit the needs of those with a standing desk as well as those that just want a more comfortable place to stand when doing laundry, at the kitchen sink, or working in garage.
