  1. Re: Need to be adjustable on Ask Slashdot: Have You Tried a Standing Desk? · · Score: 1, Redundant

    My company also sells sit/stand adjustable desks. They run around 1k, but we only pay around $250 for the cheapest models. The markup on office furniture is insane, especially at the contract level. That being said, I have one at home. I also own a Steelcase Leap ergo chair. While I do occasionally use the desk in standing position, I find myself shifting my constantly. It feels better for me to have my desk adjusted to the proper height while sitting in my ergo chair than standing. Also note that my monitors are on fully adjustable monitor arms so they are at the perfect height for my neck. In my opinion an adjustable height desk is good, but not necessarily for use whole standing. Before dropping 1k+ I would suggest seeing if a local office furniture company would give you a loaner to try for a few weeks before purchasing.
