Companies adopt height-adjustable desks because they let employees switch regularly between sitting and standing, which reduces physical strain, improves focus and supports a culture of wellbeing. For larger organisations the decision is mainly strategic: a single system of adjustable desks standardises workstations, simplifies maintenance and creates a modern, ergonomic image that employees, partners and clients notice.
Heka Interior is the office-furniture brand of Hit Preless d.o.o. from Slovenia, a company that has produced furniture since 1986 and employs more than 80 people, with its own production, logistics and installation. Heka's ergonomic solutions have equipped more than 1,200 workstations at NLB, and its references also include Triglav and Volvo. This experience with large projects is exactly why companies should approach the rollout of height-adjustable desks as a planned project rather than an ad-hoc purchase.
Why do companies decide to introduce height-adjustable desks?
Companies introduce height-adjustable desks because prolonged sitting causes back pain, fatigue and reduced concentration. A height-adjustable desk lets an employee work standing for part of the day, which relieves the spine and preserves energy across the whole workday. Beyond health there is a clear business case: an ergonomically equipped workstation improves efficiency, reduces absence and strengthens the company's professional image.
How does a height-adjustable desk affect employee productivity?
A height-adjustable desk affects productivity by letting employees choose the posture that best suits the task at hand. People who alternate between sitting and standing often report sharper focus and steadier energy through the day. The ability to move while working reduces the afternoon dip in concentration, which is a direct advantage for an employer in any office-based environment.
Are height-adjustable desks healthy and what do ergonomists recommend?
Ergonomists recommend that employees avoid staying in one position for too long and instead alternate sitting and standing, getting up and moving regularly. A height-adjustable desk makes this behaviour easy, because changing the height takes only a few seconds. The desk itself is not a cure, but it is a tool that encourages movement; it delivers the most benefit combined with an ergonomic chair and a correctly set-up workstation.

Is a height-adjustable desk actually worth it for a company?
A height-adjustable desk is worth it for a company when you treat it as a long-term investment in health and efficiency rather than a one-off cost. Fewer aches and sharper focus translate into less lost time. Whether the investment makes sense in a specific case depends on the nature of the work and the number of workstations; we break this down in more detail in our guide is a height-adjustable desk worth it.
How does a company standardise workstations with height-adjustable desks?
A company standardises workstations by choosing one unified system of height-adjustable desks for all offices, with consistent height settings, cable management and accessories. A single system lowers maintenance costs, simplifies ordering spare parts and makes moves or expansions easier. At Heka we recommend defining the standard at the start of the project, because aligning different models later creates unnecessary complications.
How many desks makes a larger project, and when is standardisation worth it?
Standardisation generally already pays off on projects above roughly ten desks. At that scale, unified height settings, cable management and accessories noticeably simplify use and maintenance. For larger clients Heka prepares a single fit-out concept that ties desks, ergonomic chairs and accessories into a coherent whole. We used the same approach on large projects such as equipping the workstations for NLB.
Can height-adjustable desks be matched to a company's colours and furniture?
Yes, height-adjustable desks can be matched to a company's corporate look, because Heka offers a choice of colours and materials for the tabletop and frame. Personalisation ranges from colours and fabrics to accessories and, to a degree, the company logo, so the desks align with the ergonomic chairs and the rest of the office furniture. The result is a workspace that looks unified and finished rather than assembled from random pieces.
Frequently asked questions
How much does the CoreLift height-adjustable desk cost?
The price of the CoreLift height-adjustable desk depends on the configuration, that is the tabletop size, choice of materials, accessories and order volume, so we prepare it on request. For larger projects it makes sense to quote the entire set of workstations at once. To get a calculation, contact us via the contact page and describe the number of desks and the specifications you want.
How quickly can a height-adjustable desk be delivered?
Delivery time depends on the chosen configuration and the scope of the project. Because Hit Preless has its own production, logistics and installation, we coordinate delivery and setup directly with the client, without intermediaries. On larger projects we arrange phased delivery that follows the pace of a move or office opening, so work continues without disruption.
Do you also offer ergonomic chairs alongside the desks?
Yes, alongside height-adjustable desks Heka offers a full range of ergonomic office chairs, from active and conference models to executive ones. Desks and chairs together form an ergonomic workstation, so when fitting out offices we usually advise considering both at once. For help choosing a chair, see our guide on how to choose an ergonomic office chair.
Can we try a desk or chair before buying?
Yes, Heka offers a free trial of an office chair at your own workplace, which is the best way for a company to assess comfort and suitability before a larger order. The trial lasts seven days and takes place in your environment, not in a showroom. You can find the conditions on the free trial page.
