A Smarter Solution for Home-Based Learning
Physical activity—whether it’s team sports or playtime—has been linked to improved learning and health1. Yet, many children today remain sedentary while learning. As a result, children are missing the physical and mental benefits associated with moving more and sitting less. This is why sit-stand desks are a great option for increasing movement while learning. In fact, standing desks typically increase student engagement up to 15%.
Dr. Mark Benden, the director at the Center for Ergonomics at Texas A&M University, added that
“We are finding that with standing desks in schools, the children are more focused and more on task.”
To help combat sedentary behavior, Vari® has created high-quality, affordable, and research-based standing desk solutions to create healthier and happier learning environments. With fast and free shipping, it's easier than ever to improve your child’s learning experience.

Reviews and Testimonials
Teachers and administrators from classrooms everywhere believe Vari is making a difference in the classroom.
"I feel that the frequent change of positions helps the students to better regulate themselves, which allows for a sharper focus on classroom learning."
"More focus + better behavior = happier teachers and students!"
"Finally, an answer to technology-induced inactivity! No more debating whether to have more physical activity or more instruction time—how about more physical activity during instruction time!"
"They are wonderful for my kids who have attention and focus problems, because they are trying to control their legs at the same time they do their work, so this has really been beneficial..."
