You don't really need a "standing desk" to try this out. Here's where I work from during most of the day now: http://i.imgur.com/oQTGQ.jpg http://i.imgur.com/

I'm using a laptop stand (from rain design) under some textbooks to lift my laptop up to normal working height. When I get tired or my feet start hurting I can quickly unplug my laptop and move the stand over to my desk and continue right where I left off.
I have really gotten to like it. Once I got used to being on my feet everything about my posture, well-being, and productivity have improved. I can't recommend it enough.
- wahnfrieden 15y agoThat's a nice temp solution, but it'd be much better ergonomically if you have the monitor separated from the keyboard and raised closer to eye level (or if it already is at a nice height for viewing, the keyboard is too high).
- dstein 15y agoThis setup is more ergonomic than I thought it would be. A monitor does not have to be at eye level -- that's just what you're used to with a sitting desk. I look downward at about 45 degrees to the monitor and my hands are at a slight incline. It's basically the way you would read a book while standing.
