Stand up desks

[brahmanknight]

I don't understand the appeal of these, but they seem to be all the rage. Standing while at a desk is the opposite of what I would want. Hell, when I figure out how to do my job while laying in bed wearing a Occulus and a Leap Motion controller, I will never leave my bed.

Agreed. Besides, my sexy ankles and legs just wouldn't be the same with varicose veins.

Where would George take a nap?

It's the new hot must have item at my office except the company won't buy them so only the 1%'ers have them.

I prefer the one with a small treadmill to walk on while working.

I have one that adjusts up and down. Honestly it feels good to be on your feet for a little while than just slumped at your keyboard all day. The key is to vary it though and not just stand. That would cause other issues like added stress on your knees over time and whatnot.

But standing for a couple hours honestly has been good for energy in the afternoons and throughout the day. Just have to balance it out.

And having a mat under your feet is a mandatory.

Agree w ice just wish i could vary throughout the day but we've got low cube wall environment so there'd be even more people staring at the 6'4 goof w a standing desk

For me it is simple. Back pain.

Never had back pain until I started working in an office environment. Lurching over a keyboard all day contributed to poor posture, which lead to back pain. Standing forces you to have good posture and keeps you more in line.

Yeah, there are things you can sit on the accomplish the same things but you can still slouch. Standing is what works for me.

I'm about to order one, but my whole desk won't raise. Just my laptop and monitors.

I've had one for 18 months now. I have an exercise bike that I use with it part of the day and a standing mat for the other part of the day. My back has never felt better.

I took my original sitting desk and raised it up to the required height using cinder blocks and bed risers.

That's pretty sweet.

Cinder blocks... And people say I'm white trash...

It is called the Bill Clinton special edition. keep Intern busy while you are busy. You win, Boss wins, Intern well... may or may not win.

 

[crambone]

Well played, good sir.

It's complete trash. Cost me $40 to elevate it and the bike was $100 from Amazon.

Desk people! Sounds horrible! I have a desk but I maybe sit in it 2/8 hours of the day.
