Standing Desks
-
I would like to try it. Not sure whee it would fit into my collection of workspaces though.
-
I've been wanting to try it. There's a filing cabinet in my office that is the perfect height to use as a standing desk. I've persuaded my boss to go standing, which he's been doing for about a month now. The biggest thing that puts me off is that my co-workers would think I'm nuts. Either that, or they'd think I'm just copying my boss to suck up to him. Or probably both.
I'm really looking for a setup that allows me to spend half my time sitting and half standing, but that's difficult with two monitors.
-
Fog Creek was famous for having convertible desks so that people could switch back and forth all day.
-
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!
-
I am getting a new mount for my monitors that I can raise and lower easily so I might thing about a small stand for my keyboard mouse so I can change back and forth. Might be worth it.

We were on the verge of getting the Versa-Desks for that; a little chunky but might be worth looking into!
-
@MattKing nice. Look forward to feedback on those.
What kind of price are they?
-
@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.

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.
-
What is the new facility?
-
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.
-
Very cool.
-
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.
-
Nice let me know how you end up liking it.
-
@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.
