I've been standing and editing, it's awesome, no tight hamstrings, stronger abs. I'm now looking for a good standing workstation, anyone else standing?

Been doing it for a few years. Best thing is that back pain went away from not sitting all the time. I have a drafting chair that I alternate back and forth leaning on. It's pretty sweet, sometimes I do sit in the drafting chair first thing in the morning while I have coffee (and check FM and Facebook).

As for a station, I built this piece of crap from scraps in my dads shop. The only thing I paid for was the plywood top. Originally the tower was supposed to go on the left, and I had 2 displays, but I got rid of the 2nd display because I found myself using it as a TV (AKA a distraction). The biggest thing was that my elbows were at 90 degrees when typing, and the center of the display was at eye level so my neck wasn't always cranked up or down.

My wife and I are looking to a buy a home in the next few months, one I have a more permeant office, I have a design for something really great that I'll share with you guys once it's built.





Edit: Pardon the mess, that's my life.

That's brilliant, I will have to try and fashion a new space over the winter months. I stand up whilst culling sometimes because sitting down can literally be a PITA, but for everything else I just can't do it as my workspace is intended for sitting. I'll need to have a think about this!

My seat has been bothering me the last few months. I think the cushioning is getting worn down.

I am sat on a memory foam pillow.

An unfortunate circumstance for us both.

My day job has sit/stand desks. LOVE it. I alternate between sitting and standing throughout the day.

I got a Herman Miller Aeron chair last year (used....paid just over $200 for it), and it was the best investment I made all of last year. I used to hurt constantly from sitting...I was miserable. I don't think I have hurt once since then.

That's the chair I bought too. I am pretty much always in the chair.

Taking it a step further (very punny)... something like this has always intrigued me...

I have a ergotron in my main office space and a treadmill with a plank on it to mix things up. Works well for me.

Pottery Barn project table. I put the iMac on a few books and alternate between a tall chair and standing. Works great!

How's the quality of the electric motor on this table? Built well, smooth and powerful?

I use a desk from http://multitable.com and try to stand about 50% of the time. It has hand crank and it is pretty simple to switch from a sitting to a standing desk.

Elton John is still standing apparently...

Me?

I use a stand up desk for my non computery stuff like putting together tradition albums and other crafty stuff.

I really like it too.
