A couple years ago my co-worker and I each built the $22 IKEA standing desk from iamnotaprogrammer.com[1]. We also each got a nice standing mat and stool (about $100 each), and I got a monitor mount (about $50).
It's been excellent. I'd say I spend about half my time standing and half sitting on the stool. For me, rather than losing focus when I'm standing, sometimes I'll just pace around my office a bit, which I've found helps me think a lot, and obviously helps keep the blood flowing and the muscles loose.

- drfuchs 9y agoMany folks mention standing on a mat. Anybody care to give specific advice on what to buy (brand, material, thickness, link, whatever)?
- nathcd 9y agoI don't have any real advice, but here's [1] the one I got, which has been good for me. And it looks like the price has come down a good bit since I bought it in early 2015.

- DontSueMeBro 9y agoAt work I've used an Imprint CumulusPRO mat and it was very comfortable and took a lot of abuse like using my chair on top of it half the time.
- duyhtq 9y agoi would definitely recommend an anti-fatigue mat if you're using a standing desk. our mats are sold at $39 to compliment our SmartDesk. https://www.autonomous.ai/anti-fatigue-mat-standing-desk-accessories https://www.autonomous.ai/anti-fatigue-mat-standing-desk-acc...

- justajot 9y agoI've been using the Topo by ErgoDriven. I like it, but at the same time, I'd like to try something that isn't as soft. I should add that I prefer to be barefoot whenever possible and when I'm not I'm usually wearing shoes that don't have any support or much cushioning. I can't think of a natural surface that I've been on barefoot that is remotely as spongy as the Topo.
