What is your Return Policy?
Please click here go to view Return Center policy and submit a return.
If you are new to standing while you work, we recommend beginning with standing for only 1 hour on your first day. Once you DeskStand™ ships you will receive an electronic guide to get your standing while you work. Download this guide, The Two Week StandWorking™ Challenge, and follow it over a 2 week period to slowly strengthens your bodies core muscles and stand for up to 4 hours per day. Ideally we recommend standing for no longer than half of your work day which is 4 hours. The DeskStand™ offers the balance the body needs, one can't stand all day but you can't sit all day either.
If you are a standing veteran and find yourself standing for over 4 hours per day we recommend using an Anti Fatigue Foam Mat which takes the strain off the legs and heels. The 25mm foam works very well at adding extra standing hours to your day.
Can I demo the DeskStand™ before I decide to purchase one?
If you’re interested in getting your company or school on board, please send us a message to arrange for a demo. We unfortunately do not do trials at this point; however, we welcome visitors to come view our products at our showrooms.
If you are still not sure whether to purchase a DeskStand product, we do offer a 100% return policy when you order (As described above). This means that you may return your units for whatever reason, even if you feel that the DeskStand just is not working for you.
Do I need an ergonomic desk setup by law in South Africa?
YES! Ergonomics Regulations, which form part of the Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Act (85 of 1993) were published in December 2019, thereby legislating ergonomics in South Africa. This means that, by law, every South African company is required to comply with these Regulations. Read more here.
Will the DeskStand™ damage my desk surface?
The base feet of a DeskStand™ are very small and therefore does not take up much surface area. Eco-friendly, water based, paint sealer is used to seal the birch plywood. This sealer is of the highest, top quality standards and has nonslip and protective properties. Overall we have had no bad feedback on this topic.

My screen is too close to me, how can I push it further back?
The DeskStand™ has been developed and designed to support many variations of large computer screens, however, not all are made equal. If you feel your screen is positioned too close to your eyes and you've tried to move it as far back as possible there is an alternative option. You may simply request a swap out of your JUMBO Shelf for our Deeper 400mm x 900mm Shelf, which is highly recommend! You may request a free swap out, depending on your location, or you may purchase the shelf separately with FREE delivery. Simply contact us here.
