Kajen Standing Bench provides a perch that keeps individuals upright, enabling them to stand, straighten up and move on their feet. Standing promotes better posture than sitting and boosts circulation, enabling the blood to flow better through the body and brain. Reflecting the trend to work at stand-up desks and eat at chest-high tables, Kajen Standing Bench makes it possible to stand more, and sit less.
