Development of a prototype ergonomic height adjustable desk / Ammar Hakim Aidi

Spending time sitting in front of desk to do work is common among the people in Malaysia from as early as 5 years old. But spending a lot of time on workspace can leads to a passive lifestyle which will bring many negative things into daily life. A simple action like standing up and stretching after hours of non-active activity such as sitting can help body to feel much better. So, a standing desk is one of the options that is available. The objective of this project is to design an ergonomic height adjustable desk and to fabricate an ergonomic height adjustable desk. Other than the impressive height adjuster the desk also needs to be sturdy and that is where the use of mild steel frame comes in handy to provide a sturdy and confident frame. SOLIDWORKS 2019 is used to design the product to meet all the criteria needed to achieve the objectives of the project. The final product will provide the user of the desk a good ergonomic position for a better sitting or standing position to do work for hours in front of computer and reduce muscle fatigue and pain. In conclusion, this product will benefit a lot of people if being fabricate properly.
