      “Remember, everyone is different and should be able to adjust their workspace to their own needs.\u00a0<\/strong>Some of us have longer arms, or shorter legs. Some of us have weaker knees, or flatter foot arches. No matter what your specific needs are, the advantage of height-adjustable desks is their versatile nature – they can be customized to suit everyone.”<\/span><\/p>\n
