I am a big proponent of standing desks and get excited about posts like the one on Unplggd. I’ve been a “stander” for over a year and would recommend everyone trying it out. You can always grab a bar stool, if you want to sit. I like my converted bookcase/bookshelf method because it’s:
- easy to raise and lower the shelf for the monitor and keyboard (ergonomics are a must)
- leaves plenty of room for a cashier’s mat (highly recommended, to ease strain on heels)
- it’s cheap and easy to do
- plenty of places for books and book covers that we’re working on
I joined the standing revolution myself a while back. I was using a desk that was built up with books though. I couldn't take the fact I had to stand all the time so I ended up moving the books back and forth. You should look into one that moves up and down. I got one from a company I found online. The electric version is the route I went. http://www.beyondtheofficedoor…
