I tried a standing desk for about a year, with mixed feelings about it.
But guys - using a laptop at a standing desk is ergonomically still awful! If you look at the dude's neck angle in the photos, that is not a healthy way to be working all day.
Just because you're standing up doesn't mean you're exempt from regular 'keep monitors at eye level, head balanced nicely, arms and shoulders relaxed, etc' advice.
- loco5niner 11y agoThe problem is the laptop, not the desk. Without external monitors or keyboard, either your neck or hands (or both) will be in bad positions
- JoeAltmaier 11y agoI don't know any ergonomic way to look at a laptop. I put my monitors up on a stand so I can look straight at them. Laptop -either the monitor is in the wrong place, or the keyboard is.
- scotu 11y agoHow I see it, the standing desk is not about neck health per se. Even if you are sitting you should lift the monitor to the right position to make it more ergonomic (aka have external keyboard and mouse). From this lifted monitor position you can start taking the desk as a whole even higher and do standing. This is for your main computer stations. If you find yourself on a couch or in a cafe with a laptop you can afford a couple of hours of bad posture what's in the link is pretty bad for your neck, agreed
