Stand up desks

I've been looking for a while. For that price ~$200 you can find a used electric adjustable desk if you look around a bit. At least you can out here.
We have a contract with Steelcase but I think it would entail getting a whole new set up and I'm not sure I can pull that off with the boss...
I got the Varidesk about a month ago, and really like it. Easy to get up (that's what she said), and down (that's also what she said), and has a number of positions (insert pun here). I stand about an hour in the am and after lunch. Was about $500 I think. I'm the first one in our office with it, and I'm sure some others will follow suit.
My wife and I each have one of these in our home offices. It was easy to put together and works great!

They're not small, but I've got plenty of other desk space (my desk area setup is the equivalent of about 3 or 4 desks). There's enough room on the Varidesk to keep a stack or two of paper, but you will definitely lose some space. If space is already an issue in your office, a Varidesk will not help the situation.

The one I got has a good amount of space. The keyboard try is large. I can push the keyboard back and have room in front of it. Plus it has a large mouse area on both the left and right sides. Plus a pretty good area in front of the monitors.
Why stand up when you can lay down....hello!
I bet a guy with 30 years experience would jump all over this!

I have a varidesk but it needs a motor and a timer feature, i.e. it's time to stand up lard butt and there's no override
I'm suing Varidesk, their stand-up desks are not handicap accessible.
Now, that's what I'm talking about!

What's the purpose, standing verse sitting. Why not just exercise. If your snacking while sitting, then you'll also be snacking while standing. Take the stairs not the elevator. Does the Locker Room all have bad backs, that's alot of sex, congrats. I thought everyone was millionaires here, lol
Hit the bricks, sonny Jim.
Ain’t no one need another LOL-ing, “a lot” misspelling, try hard around here.
Scram.

Not me but a friend of mine has got his new standing desk from the reputed store of Office Furniture Solutions after he got to know about the store through his aunt. I must say the desk he got from the store is of top quality and even have the trendy design. I am also thinking to buy one for me too.
My boss broke down and got me a steelcase 70x30 motorized job. Should be installed in my office this Friday...
I have a veridesk knock off (wish I knew the name) that my procurement group got me at work. I love it but I pivot over to it as I have an L shaped work desk. My boss got it and returned it the next day as he has two desks one against the wall and one in front of him that he takes meetings at. Wasn't ideal for him but I love it. I do find the space/ clearance for the keyboards are in adequate so I have to rest it on the top part of the desk but I make do.
Actually you could exercise hard for an hour a day and if you sit for 8 hours a day you have wasted all that exercise. Ideally you should be standing for about half the work day and walking around the office for about 10 minutes every hour or so.
I have a Varidesk. Best purchase I have made in years! Really improves my workflow day, and totally eliminated my stiffness and back pain. I love it, and I can’t say enough about how much I love it. Do eeet.
I got an adjustable one. Never use it. I am 6’4” and found out I needed to get something for the monitors to stand up on or I have to look down. Never got around to it.
No, I got enticed to rejoin the working force about 5 months ago. Made me an offer too good to refuse.
