I am starting to have some knee problems and am thinking about copping one.

Any thoughts/suggestions from those using one?

I think I may want to go with one of those riser gadgets that would allow me to lower to sit when I want.

They are just so freakin expensive and ugly as hell lol

Was cool... Nothing special.

This one doesn't look so bad.

lol so my design snobbiness wants something functional and cute lol

usually get props when ppl stroll thru

who stands in a perfect position for a long amount of time?

exercising before/after work or moving around for a few minutes every few hours makes more sense IMO.

Exercise before or after work doesnt negate the hours sitting in the desk.

Moving around a few minutes every hour is a great solution but most people (self included) who sit--end up forgetting or just not getting up and get tied to their chairs.


When I stand I find myself stretching, moving more. If I need, I can always switch to sitting.

When I'm at work I drink water constantly. Not just to stay hydrated, but it forces me to get up and pee a lot, which requires me to get out of my chair. I go to the bathroom like 10 times each work day.

It easily adjusts flat so you can go from standing to sitting with a push of a button.

all to stand, i use that function about 3 times a week, it helps me stay focused and feels good. i stand until i get tired

not sure i want to make that investment yet

and bar height chair. you lose the comfy padded leather swivel desk chair option, but i personally don't actually sit enough to need a comfy desk chair.

>and bar height chair.

a higher chair....great solution!

a former coworker bought a portable cart that you could height adjust for like 50 bucks and that was a great solution.

An even more spartan version of this

have a higher seat to go with it
and a stand for the feet

but yes technically its standing and has been very helpful for my back
when i remember to stand more often

a typical standing activity is packing where i'm walking over to the "desk" inputting the data to print a label then walking over to my printer, getting my label, then going to my ironing board and putting the label on the mailer, putting the dress in the mailer, then rinse and repeat til my packages are all packed. i'm on my feet all day sometimes.

Fuck your fort!

My co-worker recently had back issues so he had a makeshift one using empty file boxes to jack up the monitor, mouse and such at eye level.. it's supposed to temporary but he seems to like it a lot and may even get one installed by the job..

it definitely has it's benefits

but the gem for me in the article lol

i'm about to find me a good ole $20 ikea side table lol

i may have to scrap my idea of it being adjustable....

like ndibs said above..... i will likely cop a high bar stool to replace my current chair and wallah!!!

I was starting to have back and neck problems from bad posture.

I raise my monitors all about 6-9 inches so I don't have to bend down to see them and I got rid of my chair and replaced it with a yoga ball. Haven't had a problem since.

And when I'm in the office alone at night, I totally do crunches on my ball.
