So, you got yourself a premium standing desk—great move! But if you're still dealing with dangling cables, stiff necks, or messy workspaces, your setup isn't fully optimized yet.
The right ergonomic accessories don’t just make your desk look better—they make your entire workflow smoother, healthier, and more enjoyable. Let’s dive into must-have upgrades for your OAKO standing desk and why you actually need them.
1. Say Goodbye to Messy Cables – Cable Management Solutions
Because no one wants a tangled mess of wires hanging from their desk.
When you raise or lower your standing desk, what happens to your cables? If they’re just hanging loose, they:
❌ Tangle up and look messy – destroying the clean, minimalist aesthetic.
❌ Get yanked and unplugged – potentially damaging chargers and devices.
❌ Interfere with movement – a cluttered desk = a cluttered mind.
🔹 💡 The Fix: Install an OAKO Cable Tray & Cable Grommets.
✔ Neatly routes all cables underneath the desk.
✔ Prevents cables from pulling or disconnecting when adjusting height.
✔ Keeps your setup looking sleek & professional.
🎯 Pro Tip: Pair this with a power strip mounted under the desk for ultimate cable control!
2. Fix Your Screen Height – Monitor & Laptop Stands
Stop craning your neck like a giraffe!
If your screen is too low, you’re constantly looking down, which leads to:
❌ Neck strain (hello, tight shoulders).
❌ Bad posture (slouching = back pain).
❌ Eye strain & headaches (from awkward screen angles).
🔹 💡 The Fix: Use an OAKO Monitor Stand or Mini Monitor Stand to:
✔ Raise your screen to eye level—better posture, no more pain.
✔ Improve focus—your eyes stay naturally aligned with the display.
✔ Create extra desk space—store your keyboard or notebooks underneath.
🎯 Pro Tip: If you use multiple monitors, get two stands or a laptop riser + monitor stand combo for the perfect ergonomic setup!
3. Keep Your Desk Tidy – Storage & Organizers
A clean workspace = a clear mind. Period.
Even with a spacious desk, clutter builds up fast—notebooks, chargers, pens, and that random pile of stuff you swear you’ll organize "later." (Spoiler: You won’t.)
🔹 💡 The Fix: Add an OAKO Desk Drawer or Storage Cabinet to:
✔ Keep essentials within reach, but out of sight.
✔ Eliminate distractions—a clear desk helps you stay focused.
✔ Store important documents & accessories in an organized way.
🎯 Pro Tip: The Drawer is perfect if you want a minimalist storage solution that integrates seamlessly with your OAKO desk!
4. Protect Your Desk & Hands – Desk Pads
Your desk takes a beating. So do your wrists.
If you write, type, or use a mouse for hours, your hands and arms rest against the hard wood surface all day. Over time, this can cause:
❌ Wrist fatigue – from resting on hard edges.
❌ Scratches & wear – your desk's finish can get damaged.
❌ Less comfort – an unpadded surface just doesn’t feel great.
🔹 💡 The Fix: Use an OAKO Desk Pad for:
✔ A soft, comfortable surface—perfect for long work sessions.
✔ Better mouse control—works like a premium mousepad.
✔ Protecting your desk from scratches & spills.
🎯 Pro Tip: If you spend 8+ hours at your desk, consider a wrist rest as well for extra ergonomic support.
5. Don’t Forget Seating – The Best Chair for Standing Desk Users
A standing desk is great. But let’s be real—you won’t be standing all day.
A bad chair ruins the whole setup. If you sit in a cheap, unsupportive chair, standing more won’t fix your back problems—it might even make them worse.
🔹 💡 The Fix: Get an ergonomic chair or stool that supports both sitting & standing positions:
✔ The LEO Stool – Encourages active sitting, lets you stay mobile.
✔ The KATE LUX Chair – Full ergonomic lumbar support for when you need to sit.
🎯 Pro Tip: Use a footrest or anti-fatigue mat when standing to reduce pressure on your legs and feet!
