I read, I heeded, I bought an Ergo-Stand to put atop my existing desk—and I could not be more pleased. I added an adjustable pull-out keyboard/mouse tray, and the whole rig is stable, adjustable, and relatively inexpensive compared with an adjustable stand-up desk. I can feel the effects from glutes to calves.

The type of work I do has me back and forth between a workstation and a few tables with all manner of projects laid out. I’m thankful to be moving around a little bit but the ability to stand and keep working would really help to keep those creative juices flowing!

While at work I’ve always thought that standing was better than sitting. One of my favorite pictures is that of Winston Churchill standing at his writing desk.

Retired, but find that time at the desk has increased. Knee problems often require leaving the desk for stretching. This adjustable desk sounds like the way to increase comfort and get more done.

I’m 6’8″ tall and most desks simply don’t fit (along with airline seats, hotel showers and rental cars) I have rigged a desk from a “gathering table” designed for casual kitchens and dining rooms – but it’s not quite the same. A stand up desk enables me to write as I am a stand up guy.

Thank you for the offer. I stand more and more to alleviate a little back pain.
Writing poetry would be easier due to the elevated desk.
Have a wonderful New Year.

Good article! I have been giving a lot of thought to implementing a standing desk in my work environment. This project manager standing up to the world! The only thing holding me back is the type of desk to employ.
