WOODYS was established by Peter Fawcett, (Mechanical Engineer)
in May 1970 to manufacture seating furniture for household and office
purposes. With the advent of computers, a research wing was established
in Sydney under the supervision of Dennis Ryder (Biomedical Engineer)
in Jan 1975.
Our
Mission is to eradicate the causes of All Computer Environment Injuries.

What is
a Stress Free, Posture Friendly Computer Desk?
As the name implies, the World's First Stress Free, Posture Friendly Computer
Desk is a series of computer desks, designed and developed by WOODYS Stress
Free, which allow for the placement of the computer monitor below the
desktop surface. The desks are virtually identical to existing desks with
one major exception: The shelf on which the monitor rests is adjustable
and can be lowered as much as twelve inches below the surface top of the
desk. This feature, the ability to adjust the monitor shelf up, down and
tilt, allows the monitor screen to be adjusted to an ideal level more
suitable to the user's line of vision, thus reducing eyestrain and associated
work stress. And for those of us who wear bifocals and trifocals, the
discomfort of craning our necks to view a monitor screen is at an end.
The following
are just a few of the benefits of our Stress Free, Posture Friendly Computer
Desks:
Reduced
Eyestrain

helps alleviate discomfort and fatigue.
Less Stress

computer hour after hour relieves the tendency for stress on the neck,
back and other parts of the upper body
Better

in your work and your work habits. Fewer Lost Man Hours The need for fewer
sick leaves and time off from work due to eyestrain and awkward posture
at a computer desk for long periods of time.
