Need of Adjustable Height Workbenches – Different Types Available

For 7 years Tinni is working in a private organization and since then she is sitting in this same desk. But recently, she is facing some difficulties while working in sitting position. She feels severe pain on her back. Sometimes, she stands up and tries to work. But the desk is too low to her. She is quite tall. At times she takes a stroll on the floor for few minutes and comes back to her desk. But she observes one thing that her colleagues do not like this. They are working hard at the same type of workstations and only she is complaining, wandering on the floor. She takes leave often due to her back pain.  That day her boss called her and asked about her work pressure, pending works. And he also said if she is free, he can assign more work to her. Tinni cannot reply that user-friendly workstations are very much required in this office. If adjustable height workbenches were there in this office, she could work comfortably. It is a private company, Boss!
