Has anyone successfully done this in an office environment? I love my standing desk (actually just a bookshelf) at home, but have a hard time picturing how it would work with surrounding coworkers sitting down.
- beagledude 15y agoI've gone to the treadmill desk http://bit.ly/nHuCRr http://bit.ly/nHuCRr at the office and it's been working out great, no complaints so far :)
- darklajid 15y agoStill the broken link (you fixed it in another thread) here. I wonder how loud that treadmill is though? I see no problems with people standing instead of sitting (might something you need to get accustomed to if it's rare/if you're the first, but it shouldn't be disturbing), but I'm not sure if I'd be happy with a constant 'whirr' coming from beneath a coworker's table..
- jcrites 15y agoI've done this for about a year in an office environment. A few other coworkers subsequently switched as well. I'm in an office, so there's no big difference for me, but one of my coworkers was the only standing person in a cube area. No problem for him. My company supports this by custom building desks of the appropriate height.
- bmj 15y agoOne of the VPs at my employer only has a standing desk in his office. Several other folks have them as well, and I occasionally move to a location where I can stand while I work.
- eru 15y agoI did. Co-workers starring wasn't a problem.
- nosequel 15y agoI did. I was even in a shared cube environment so I couldn't even raise the desk surface. So instead I got some boxes and put a piece of plywood on top, then put my monitor/keyboard/mouse on top of the platform. It looked pretty weird, but after about 3 days two other guys on my floor copied my bit. Now I'm at home so I have a better setup, but I'll never go back to sitting no matter where I work.
