If so, any recommendations?

best thing to do: get your employer to buy it i have one. i use it about once a week, for a change of scenery. or, i used to. but i haven't been in the office in a year and a half.

Well, my desk hasn't fallen down if that helps.

Me, I like this. Never really cared about the upper level :)

A few boxes on top of an existing desk. Low cost, and you can use that to decide if it's for you. (Also, I highly recommend doing it in short segments throughout the day. Switching to just standing is a recipe for discomfort.)

As usual, wisdom from this group has been enlightening, if not helpful. I am going to review it all mixing in a 6-pack of my favorite beverage. Thanks all. :wtf:

Everyone at our work has motorised standing desks. They good even if you don’t use the standing function very often. I have set the heights so that in the standing position I can fit the chair under the desk. The big advantage for the IT support people is they can easily raise the desk for easy cabling underneath.

Thank you, some I hadn't seen. I am amazed at the price range of those things.

Thanks, good thought, current layout prevents doing that.

I can't stand using a desk ;p Seriously though, this may sound obvious, but get one that's high enough for you. I worked for a company that standardized on desks that were just too low for the majority of the (Dutch) men working there. With 1.80m (below average over here :( ) it was doable for me, but I could've used a few more cm. So pay a bit more for extra height, I guess.

With the mess of cables and UPSes and computers standing on the floor under my desk, I wouldn't see that as practical in my case. Besides...with a desk as the one pictured, I could absolutely see myself tilting the whole thing over when I'd want to get up and have it all come crashing down to the floor.

Thanks. I am 1.8m as well. I don't speak meters so had to duckduckgo it. :)
