      @scottalanmiller Honestly I wasn't involved when we were looking at them; looks like Amazon has them for $275 on the small one.

      Note: Called the Vari-Desk.

        As long as you can switch between standing and sitting, it seems like a good idea to me. It's being in the same position for an entire workday, whether it be on your feet or on your bum, that causes problems.

          At least on your feet you can shift around more.

            We're going to have convertible sit/stand desks at our new facility; I'll post some pictures once we get settled in next month! 😄

            That will be cool.

              I'm actually really pumped, I'll post some pictures of our new facility as well... I don't think they'd get the same appreciation on my Facebook haha.

                  Haha I don't want to ruin the surprise but I'm very excited. We're working with ~40k sq feet and a small office right now. The new facility is much bigger with a lot more bells and whistles. It's great to see us come this far.

                      I am going to rearrange my current desk to be a standing desk tomorrow.
                      we'll see how it goes, now:

                        New layout. It is not quite tall enough, but I need to get work done this afternoon.

                            @minion-queen my Back hurts already from being straighter. At least I know that will go away.

                            Found the old bed frame for my Sleep number bed, took the feet off of it and it is pretty good now. Will need cables to make things cleaner on the backside. and I can use my MacBook Pro on the wood desk to the right when I need to sit.

                              for when I need to sit.

                                Looks like a pretty nice workspace!

                                  The perfect combination (to me) would be a workbench (that's the term for the "standing desk" that's been in use for hundreds of years) and a drafting chair. You can stand and use it, or you can sit at a comfortable height and use it. Or, you can slide the computers to the side and use it for actual work. 🙂 Go ahead and hate me; I can take it.

                                    During a project in a standing-height workspace, I stood. Over those 3 weeks, I noticed that I had more energy and my trunk and legs had toned up a bit. If you do consider going standing, get an ergonomic industrial floor mat and a comfortable pair of shoes (sneakers?). The cushioning will help tremendously. Doing this in a traditional pair of dress shoes and hard flooring will get old quite quickly.

                                      I believe that I will get a drafting chair for this setup actually. I'll see after I've used the current design for a few weeks.

                                          I want the desk that you raise and lower so it only takes up the space of a normal desk but gives you multiple options.

                                            Would be nice, but just working with what I have at the moment.
