Kirkor Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Converted my desk at work this past Friday. I'm not at the desk all day so I figured it would be good to try it out before doing my one at home where I spend most of my internet time. Don't have a mat or anything yet but we'll see how it goes over the next few weeks.kstar has a good video on using a standing desk:http://www.mobilitywod.com/2011/06/episode-274-the-standing-athlete.html Quote Link to comment
knifeboots Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 I converted my desk a few weeks ago, but I still need to get an anti-fatigue mat. I have a server room chair that I use when I have to do a lot of typing but I try to stand as much as possible. My problem is that standing makes me fidgety, and I find it harder to concentrate, particularly when I am trying to read/write. Maybe I just need to get used to it.

Kirkor Posted August 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 What height do you put your monitor at when standing? Quote Link to comment
surana16 Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 Ooh, always been intrigued by a standing desk, but like Jaradel I tend to fidget when I stand for a while xD Quote Human Ranger 2.5 STR | 2 DEX | 1.5 STA | 1.5 CON | 4 WIS | 3.5 CHA Link to comment
Cinda Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 I wasn't even aware this was a thing! Would you be able to post a photo up when it's done JaysFreaky? I stand all day at work making sushi (highest bench in the shop, better for my height), cooking, or doing dishes. I find cooking and dishes are worst on my posture and back because they are quite low down. Is there a recommended working bench height? I'm 6 foot >.o Makes me giggle a little that I would give almost anything to be able to sit down once every couple of hours at work whereas it is a goal for you to do the opposite hehe Good on you!

prime Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 I'd like to try a stand up desk at work, I wonder if my office would accomodate if I requested it.. the required monitor height may be an issue, I assume the monitors are supposed to be at eye level. The original post here is pretty old, I'd like to hear if JaysFreaky is still using it! Quote lvl 1 human warrior STR 3, STA 3, CON 3, DEX 1, WIS 2, CHA 3 Link to comment
