- Guys, guess what?
Today's the day.
I finally got myself a standing desk.
For the past few years,
I've been talking to you guys and asking for suggestions
on which desks to get,
and the problem was I really like the desks
that I already have.
So this is super exciting.
VARIDESK reached out and said hey,
we have a solution for you.
This allows me to use the desks that I already have
so I can basically turn this into a standing desk
or I can still sit down if I choose to.
So huge thank you to VARIDESK for sponsoring this video.
I can't wait to unbox this.
This is the VARIDESK ProPlus 36.
And what's great about this one
is it's made for dual monitors.
They also have the ProPlus 30 model
which is good for single monitors,
but as you guys can tell, this monitor is massive.
I also sometimes do have duel monitors
and I thought that this is probably the best option for me.
I'm so excited about this.
I'm so excited that I was actually
looking up standing facts.
Did you guys know that each hour of sitting
erases eight percent from the health benefits
of an hour of running.
(sighs)
Yeah, I know.
So let's stop wasting time and unbox this.
Matty look at this, look at this.
Are you excited about the VARIDESK?
This is so mommy can stand up.
K bye.
One thing I did notice is this is way heavier
than I thought.
Oh okay.
I'm completely doing this totally wrong.
I was definitely doing it wrong
because all I have to do is lift this up.
I was expecting that I was gonna have to
go get a tool kit and put stuff together.
But this looks like it's already put together.
I wish everything shipped like this.
Active workspace essentials.
Oh what's this?
Is this like a coaster to put my drink on?
What a surprise, I think it might be.
Oh my gosh is it?
No way.
Oh!
I love cable wraps.
I'm not very good with cable management
as many of you know.
These are great.
Okay, he looks happy.
He looks healthy.
He looks like he's really enjoying his work.
This is what I like to see, no tools required.
Holds up to 35 pounds.
With another person's assistance.
Oh, I might need your assistance Tyler.
The thing is, this one is actually made for a straight desk.
They have another version too that's made for curved desks,
but because this curved desk I have is really deep,
this should work with no problem.
But I was really surprised how many accessories
they do have on the website,
so if you guys wanna check it out
for more information on this or any of their other products,
check out VARIDESK.com.
They have LED lights, they have stool that's over there
that I'm gonna unbox in a second.
They have so many things.
Alright.
Let me free you little friend.
This looks really well made too,
which is good because if you're putting your computer
or your monitor or something on this,
you don't want it to feel like it's not sturdy.
And this already feels like super,
like industrial.
That actually fits perfect.
So there's little handles right here
and you just lift it up.
Oh my gosh, the whole thing goes!
No way!
I thought this whole thing stayed down.
Okay I'm gonna put it back down.
Oh wow.
Just snaps right in place.
Okay I'm gonna put my monitor up there.
Oh my gosh, this looks perfect.
The one thing that I was just thinking right now
is if I do turn this into the standing option,
this cable is gonna be too short.
But guess what?
There's also a solution for that.
This is the VARIDESK power hub.
So I was a little bit concerned
because when this is in the standing mode,
the cables that I have are plugged in
pretty low to the ground.
But this I can plug in my Mac Mini
which is what I'm editing off of right now for this desk.
I can plug the monitor in,
and this has just like this little clamp
so I can clamp it to whatever I need.
Like it can clamp to the desk,
it can clamp to the actual desk itself.
Yeah, so it has three plugs here.
It also has two USB ports, which is great as well.
Just clamp this to the desk.
I am so glad I got this
because it makes so much sense.
Like I can put my little Mac Mini right here.
I have to work on my cable management back here, but.
It's looking good so far.
This is a professional work place.
Okay, I'm gonna clean up a little
and finish the set up process.
It's almost set up
and look at this little loaf that I found.
This is Matty.
Matty, take a look at this desk.
See what you think.
What do you think?
Do you like it?
The tail's wagging, that means yes.
What do you think?
Oh my heart.
It is all set up, I love how easy this is
to adjust the different heights,
so if you are taller
you can make it whatever height you need it to be.
I'm a little on the shorter side,
so I'm gonna move it down just a little.
But this is the height when it's all the way up.
And for my height, I'm thinking.
Right there, this is nice.
Look at me typing.
Now watch me type, now watch me nae nae.
Let's watch a YouTube video, shall we.
Let's see what Jenna's been up to.
- What's going on guys, so right now
I'm actually in Yosemite National Park.
- She's in Yosemite.
Oh she changed her little header.
Little adventure girl.
Okay so now if I wanna sit.
Look at me sit.
Now watch me stand.
Oh man, I'm loving this so much.
I never thought that a standing desk
would be something that I needed.
And now I feel like I can't live without it,
and it's only been an hour.
Standing is cool, but I've also seen people in offices,
they have like little chairs
and sometimes you can lean.
So they have a VARIDESK chair which is just over here,
so I'm gonna just squeeze through here.
Also got a little mat for my little feet.
This is so great.
Yeah that's nice.
Let's test out the chair.
This is already put together too.
What kind of incredible luck is this?
I don't have to do anything.
This the best unboxing I've ever experienced.
I'm gonna be so cool now, watch this.
I feel healthier already.
So if I decide I wanna sit, pop that down.
Oh, like my posture.
It feels, I feel good.
So I know I've only been using this for about
45 minutes, but already I can tell that I just feel
more comfortable, like everything just feels like it should.
Like when I'm sitting in other chairs,
I just don't feel comfortable.
I like the mat too.
Like my little toes just feel super comfy,
it's like a nice little squish.
Oh another thing that's good,
is if I have my Macbook.
Yeah this is really great.
I gotta lean.
This is just really awesome and I'm so excited about this
as an addition to my office.
But also as an addition to my health,
because I feel like I sit down so much.
Like I am at my computer way too long
sitting down and just not really moving around.
So this I already feel like I'm already gonna be kinda like
chilling, lounging, I'll be standing up,
I'll be walking around.
I also promised you guys some more facts.
Let me get you guys some facts before I let you go.
It is believed.
Should I put glasses on?
I need glasses for this.
It is believed that Leonardo DaVinci painted the Mona Lisa
at a standing desk as far back as the 1400s.
Thomas Jefferson had a tall desk
designed so that he could stand to work on his blueprints.
That's not it.
Charles Dickens, oh, Benjamin Franklin,
and Winston Churchill are also reported to have preferred
to work at a standing desk.
You guys, I have been looking up so many standing desk facts
and that's what I like to do in my free time.
So if you guys wanna share any standing desk facts
with me below, or any health benefits
that you guys have found,
I would love to read those in the comments below.
And now I'm gonna go because clearly I've got a new toy
that needs to be tended to.
A huge thank you to VARIDESK again
for sponsoring this video, you guys are amazing.

I'll put a link in the description.
Okay, this is actually the end of the video.
