Does anyone have one of these? I was planning on going IKEA (cheap, but horrible reviews, though their warranty is 10 years), but this sale puts them at about the same price.
- i think they're adjustable to 2/10ths of an inch. Saw them at an expo in Chicago. I liked them.imbecile
- They look pretty nice, good material options. I know the IKEA motors died (since replaced) and would hate to buy one and have it die.formed
- my guys in Chicago use Autonomous desks. I worked in the offices there on them, cheap and pretty good.Boz

nothing says "I'm a picky annoying person" more than being the only one with a standing desk in the office

Any new standing desks? I think I am ready to get up and stand.

Hey busterboy, I've been using standing desks for going on 3 years and know some hacks.
1) buy a counter-height table and a bar-stool. it's not height adjustable, but it gives you the same benefits and you can still sit down, at a higher height. If you google "Ikea Standing Desk Hacks" you'll find a lot of frankensteinian creations using ikea stuff
2) just put one of these stands on your regular-height desk. i found one at Fry's for $95.
lady here is using two, which seems a little gratuitous but w/e3) whatever your arrangement, make sure you can alternate sitting and standing. neither one is good for you to do all day every day. my chiropractor told me it's best to alternate about every hour.

My wife bought me one of these about 6 months ago... all black frame / top... my back loves her for it... I'm standing as I type this.

I have an adjustable desk that I believe can accommodate standing height.
It is glass though, so I wonder if always standing will fatigue me or make me more efficient in work or use of the computer in general.
I have a nearly identical desk in the same room so I could return to sitting in a chair if need be.
I could probably pick up a draftsman stool if standing ended up being a beneficial decision as the occasional sitting solution.
Just wondering if anyone has any experience with standing exclusively at their desk as opposed to sitting.
- Standing is tough, sitting is easier. Dont stand. And always have a bowl of fresh sour cream and onions potato chips on the desk.Bennn

I've got a Varidesk at work and overall I'm happy with it. Unfortunately, though, at it's maximum height, I still need to lift my monitors up with reams of paper (I'm 6'2" if that's any help)...
