Declare Independence From Your Desk; Celebrate Productivity Like Colonial Times at StandUpDesks.com

AKRON, Ohio, June 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- For some office workers, sitting at a desk all day makes concentration difficult, and creativity nearly impossible. Until now, a worker's best escape included ducking out of the office whenever possible. A better option from Ohio's Amish Country Furniture Sales brings back a productivity tool from colonial times in America.

"Back in 1770 Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence at a stand up desk he himself made," explains Akron, Ohio businessman Jim Gattuso. "I became interested in stand up desks because of my chronic back pain, and I thought who better to help me bring back this great productivity tool than Amish woodworkers whose furniture-making craftsmanship dates back to colonial times."

According to leading authorities on ergonomics and back pain, most people can work better and longer in a standing position. It helps them to be able to shift their hips or move from side to side.
