One of my favourite actresses who’s a gamer, writer, director, and producer, said she’d just bought a treadmill desk and that it’s the best thing she’s ever bought.
I wasn’t familiar with them, so naturally I did a good bit of research to see whether they are worth the expense, and how well they function in the workplace.
I learned a lot. I discovered that just because a desk might have a good rating and costs a lot, doesn’t mean it’s a good desk. It might be wobbly or bend when you attach multiple monitors. The expensive model might make it impossible to access the monitor on your treadmill.
Regardless of the little oddities, corporate businesses are buying them for their employees to use! Dairy Queen has hopped on the bandwagon for the sake of their employees. They also hope it might be a “recruitment tool.”
