I've been loving my adjustable desk. I spent the majority of my time standing, but sometimes it's great to sit down. I purchased a (relatively) inexpensive hand-cranked base from http://www.kitchensource.com/table-bases/gb-1000-1001.htm http://www.kitchensource.com/table-bases/gb-1000-1001.htm. I also got a cheap ($30) 48" x 24" x 2" wooden tabletop which I was able to sand, finish, and easily mount to the base. I added a desk-mounted monitor arm (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001IWOBGI http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001IWOBGI). The price for all of this compares extremely favorably to most other adjustable desks I've found. This setup has been a huge help for my back issues. If I were to try to quantify the cost of having a sore back that renders me unable to be active, it'd be vastly higher than what I payed for this setup. If I am offered a position where I need to go into an office, I would make offering me a similar setup a precondition of me accepting the offer.
