Our Story

At EFFYDESK, our story began with a real-life need for better work solutions. Our founder, once a dedicated chef and later a corporate professional, faced ongoing pain from a spinal injury. Whether standing for long shifts in the kitchen or sitting behind a desk in the office, discomfort was a constant companion—until his workplace introduced standing desks. The ability to switch between sitting and standing brought immediate relief, inspiring a deeper dive into the benefits of ergonomic design.

Since then, we’ve dedicated ourselves to creating ergonomic office solutions that adapt to you. At EFFYDESK, we design with a purpose: to make your workspace work for you. From adjustable sit-stand desks to ergonomic chairs and stylish accessories, every product is thoughtfully crafted to blend style with the ultimate comfort.

Whether you’re setting up a home office, upgrading your corporate space, or anything in between, EFFYDESK is here to help you build a workspace where productivity, comfort, and inspiration thrive. Our products are designed to support your well-being—because we believe that when your workspace fits your needs, you can truly work with wonder.

Our Purpose

Our Promise

To help make productivity more positive. We offer products to help eliminate discomfort, tackle unhealthy habits, spark creativity, and to inspire your best work-life.

Meet our founder


Dickson Lam is the founder and CEO of EFFYDESK, which he launched in 2019. Recognizing the challenge of working from home with inadequate office furniture, he set out to provide solutions for preventing back, head, and knee discomfort from long hours at the desk. And the rest, as they say, is history.

Building a Sustainable Future

At the heart of EFFYDESK’s mission is a deep commitment to improving our planet. As one of Canada’s leading suppliers of sit-stand desks, we recognize our role in fostering a sustainable future. Partnering with innovative allies like ChopValue, we’re dedicated to a zero-waste, circular economy, crafting eco-friendly furniture for desk job workers across North America.

A shining example of our efforts is the sustainable Terra Desk, proudly showcased at the David Suzuki Foundation’s downtown Vancouver office. There, it not only enhances the workspace but also stands as a symbol of our dedication to environmental stewardship. With every desk we create, we’re building a better workspace and nurturing a healthier planet for generations to come.
