The sit to stand revolution is in full swing. This year, height adjustable office furniture from brands like Mayline, OFM, and Systematix have changed the way we work. Today on 'Furniture Fashion' we'll take a look at the hottest sit to stand products of the year. These innovative workplace solutions promote continuous movement in the workplace, reduce energy dips, and improve posture.

First up, the collaborative sit to stand workstations from Mayline and their hot new ML collection. This line of push button tables make it incredibly easy to change operating positions throughout even the most task filled days. Mayline ML workstations can be enhanced with the integration of modesty panels, monitor arms, and so much more to create interactive multi-user configurations.
