You have probably seen such desks which height can be adjusted by a push of a button. A simple move and a desk goes up. One more push and the item lowers until the needed height. It looks so cool and the convenience is of the top-level indeed.
Those are height-adjustable desks. They are absolutely beneficial for the health of office workers and those who have to spend a lot of time at their desks. While more info is available in different sources, we will check here how to make an adjustable desk if you cannot buy it.

Remake Your Old Office Desk

The most optimal solution is to install the desk top of your favorite desk on an actuator lift system. For that, you shall do the following:
� Remove the top of the desk;
� Prepare the lift system;
� Fix the desk top on the lift system;
� Test it. If everything works smoothly, you can tighten the screws. That�s it, your new desk is ready to use.

Choose Actuators Properly

To make use of your old desk, ensure that you have chosen a proper lift system. It shall comply with the following requirements:
� Choose an item that can lift the needed weight. It is not only the weight of the desk top. Consider all the equipment such as your computer, printer, all the documents, accessories, and so on. You shall also understand that we are talking now not about the static but about the dynamic weight. The system shall be able to handle all those things in movement.
� The stroke length of your actuators is important. The lowest position shall be convenient for you to sit. The desk top shall have a height comfortable for you to work in a standing position.
� Noise level matters. You don�t want to end your working day with a heavy headache because your actuator system is too noisy.
� Design is also important if you aren�t buying a ready product. The system shall look nice both with the desk top as well as with the entire interior.
Even if you buy a single actuator lift system, it is still a costly item. That�s why we recommend avoiding any risks. If you aren�t experienced in choosing actuators, consult with a specialist. There is always somebody online if you order from a trusted supplier. A company representative will willingly explain to your whatever you need. They will ask the needed questions to suggest the best option.

Benefits You Get with Your Adjustable Desk

Now, if you have done everything correctly, you have a nice furniture piece that will take care of your health. A height-adjustable desk helps to reduce and further, to eliminate pains in the back and neck, eliminate headaches that an office worker usually gets at the end of the working day. Such a desk helps to control weight and sugar level in the blood. If you use it correctly, for example, do exercises, you can become physically fit and improve your health significantly. It boosts your productivity and helps to work more efficiently.
