Physical activity—whether it’s team sports or playtime—has been linked to better success in schools and improved health.5 That’s why we’re committed to promoting active education spaces that promote movement and collaboration.
Our desks were developed based on research from leading education experts, including Dr. Mark Benden, Director of the Ergonomics Center at Texas A&M University, who said, "We are finding that with standing desks in schools, the children are more focused and more on task. This is great news for teachers."

Reviews and Testimonials
Teachers and administrators from classrooms everywhere believe Vari is making a difference in the classroom.
"When you take that chair away and you raise that desk up, a world of difference is made. Our teachers say that it has made a huge impact."
"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..."
“The products are easy to assemble, and shipping is fast. It's a great advantage when compared to other manufacturers who have an 8-week lead time."
"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!"
