So you’ve finally decided to make the leap and invest in an ergonomically-promotive future for your office or home office? Congratulations! You’re joining millions of people worldwide who are improving their posture, health and productivity with the help of sit-stand height-adjustable furniture.
While we’re sure you’ll be convinced of the benefits of Yaasa’s precision-engineered range of modern office equipment, there is still an important question to be answered: do you need the Yaasa Desk Basic or the Yaasa Desk Pro II? In this post, we aim to find out.
A World of Possibilities
Before we look at the differences between the two tables, it is worth mentioning that both products have a lot in common. Whenever you buy a height-adjustable desk from Yaasa, you can be sure that you’ll always get the following as standard:
Ergonomic excellence. Every height-adjustable desk by Yaasa allows you to change effortlessly between sitting and standing positions throughout the workday. Say goodbye to back pain, lethargy and the potential for chronic illness through continued sitting and welcome in a healthier new world.
Peace of mind. Both tables are built using high-quality metals that contribute greatly to a smooth, stable, and above all safe adjustable product. Movement is swift, smooth and quiet: everything you’d need from your height-adjustable workspace and more.
Superb technology. Finally, both the Yaasa Desk Basic and the Yaasa Desk Pro II feature intelligent electronic and mechanical components that ensure that whenever you’re ready to work, your desk is too.
Looking Good
While the Yaasa Desk Basic and the Yaasa Desk Pro II are clearly closely related — two thoroughbred pieces of ergonomic, height-adjustable furniture developed with a strong focus on style and performance — they are not identical twins.
The differences start with the visual. The first thing you’ll notice when you see our tables side by side is that the two are very different animals indeed. On the one hand is the Yaasa Desk Basic, which demands attention with its avant-garde design, featuring clean and linear shaping of the tabletop, legs and feet. On the other side is the Yaasa Desk Pro II, which lures you in with smooth, seductive curves in all the right areas.
However, it’s not just the frames: the question of handsets is another important distinction between these two excellent contenders. The Yaasa Desk Pro II features the “classic” Yaasa handset placement, set into the tabletop so that it lies flush and discreetly inline. With the Yaasa Desk Basic, we decided to try something new: the desk is the first Yaasa table ever to incorporate its handswitch below the line of the tabletop, which allows for easy access, an installation option for left-handed users, and contributes to the more angled visual effect.
These contrasts are further accentuated by the customization options for the two tables. As the Yaasa Desk Basic’s harder exterior would suggest, it takes an uncompromising stance to tabletop design: 135×70 cm, take it or leave it. However, the Yassa Desk Pro II is altogether more accommodating, providing three different options for tabletop sizes (139 x 75 cm, 160 x 80 cm, and 180 x 80 cm) that make possibilities for office spaces of all sizes.
Did you know? Regardless of which height-adjustable desk you choose, you can always enhance it with intuitive extras. Yaasa Cable Management keeps your cables safe, neat and tidy in sitting and standing positions and can be mounted onto both the Yaasa Desk Basic and Yaasa Desk Pro II with minimum extra effort.
Features
Of course, furniture — and especially height-adjustable office furniture — is not just for looking at. Your sit-stand desk will form an important part of your daily working routine, which is why the range of functionality you want and need should form an important part of your buying decision.
The main reason that people buy height-adjustable desks is largely consistent: to gain the ability to switch between sitting and standing positions at ease. If you are focusing solely on the basics of ergonomics, the Yaasa Desk Basic has everything you need. It moves up and down to whatever position is the most comfortable for you (between 71 and 120 cm) and it does this quietly, smoothly, and reliably. Better still, you gain an attractive item of height-adjustable furniture that shares many of the same technical characteristics with the more expansive Yaasa Desk Pro II, at a more affordable price.
However, sometimes a table isn’t just a table. With its wide range of functionality, the Yaasa Desk Pro II takes the concept of a height-adjustable office desk and transforms it into an all-encompassing ergonomic experience. While you do your work on the table, you can be sure the table is working for you. Here are just a handful of intelligent features that can enhance your new, ergonomic lifestyle.
Collision Detection. Reduce the risk of costly system damage with Intelligent System Protection. By stopping the table before collisions become too severe, the Yaasa Desk Pro II ensures a more relaxing journey from sitting to standing and back again.
Memory Positions. Save up to two predefined memory positions in order to adjust to the perfect height effortlessly.
Height Display. Always know where you are with the Yaasa Desk Pro II’s at-a-glance LED display.
Key Lock. Simple stroke the keypad to lock it and ensure that you don’t move the table accidentally.
Sitting Pretty
To complete your new ergonomic workspace, you’ll definitely want to consider adding an ergonomic office chair to your desk setup. For this, look no further than the Yaasa Chair. This beautifully-designed and expertly-upholstered seat is the perfect complement to both the Yaasa Desk Basic and the Yassa Desk Pro II, or indeed any other office desk you are using.
With its adjustable seat height, seat depth, and 3D armrests, you have all the tools you need to find that perfect position. Better still, the chair’s adjustable backrest angle and resistance control, in addition to superb lumbar support, means we’ve always got your back.
Choosing a Winner
It’s decision time! Will you choose the sharp, dynamic Yaasa Desk Basic or give the award to the more rounded Yaasa Desk Pro II?
In the end, the choice is subjective: the perfect height-adjustable desk for you is the one that is best suited to your needs.
However, whichever Yaasa table you choose, you can be sure you are investing in an excellently made product that will help you become healthier and more productive at work.
