Standing desks

Just got this bad boy set up in my office.  I can say it is better than I expected.

Well all those chairs you have in there for guests seem pretty much useless since they won't be able to see you behind that desk setup.

That's kind of the point.

On the verge of getting one of these Varidesks. Anyone else had one for a while?

Had one over a year....still very sturdy and loving it.

I have had one for quite awhile as well.  It is nice to have the flexibility to lower it if you want to depending on what you are working on.  Very sturdy.

I still have my desk up.  2.5 yrs now, iirc.  Get a bar stool.  Gives you the ability to sit if you have to, but not so comfy that you will stay on it.  Gets you back up shortly.

Also, get a fatigue mat for the feet.  They are great.

Our new office building is complete with standing desks for everyone, hopefully my building gets them soon...

What in the world is it that you guys hate so much about sitting?  Might as well get a job in retail if you're going to stand all day

Exactly. Need to start a thread about how luxurious your office chair is.

I do a full lean back when I'm doing computer stuff. It's like laying down all day

I fall asleep when I sit down long.  Before standing, my afternoons were like an enhanced interrogation including sleep deprivation.

More attentive and productive when I stand... And generally more comfortable... I mean not like all day... But probably 25-50% depending on last night's pak level.

Would hate, I'm kind of a pacer, wouldn't be able to stay put

Same.  I have a phone headset.  It all works great.  Phil is correct about thinking better on feet, imo.

I see it as breaking up the time sitting down, like an hour or so morning and afternoon. Sitting ofr hours is terrible for you anyways, and I always find exbruces to get up and walk, having something to do that where I can stay at the desk and be productive, while not sitting would be pretty amazing.

I usually just get up like once an hour and call that good

[8manpick]

I run out of coffee frequently so I have to get up for refills and bathroom breaks a lot

Way more efficient when standing to accomplish both of these things! Join us.

This thread already has some good advice so I didn't want to start a new one. 

My back has been hurting and it's probably because I have poor posture when I sit.  I don't really want a standing desk though.  I've been thinking about getting a balance ball to use instead of my chair. 

What have you guys used or have now that you like?  I've looked at just the ball and they have some that have the ball in like a stand with a back.  Don't really know which one I would like.  Any advice would be great!

I'm 6'4" so that complicates things from the little research I have done so far.  Anything over like 5'11" is a little harder to get right I've read.

every desk in our massive company is going to sit/stand. millions of dollars to do this. I'm like, just get me a million dollar desks and let everyone else sit like they're going to anyway and save the rest of that green.

Every time I go over to our new building with standing desks there are a legit 50% of people standing. It is a lot of $$ for sure, but people use the crap out of it.

Show them the pic of my desk ITT and tell then I will convert all the desks in your company for like 20% less than that other type of desk will cost them.
