They consider it a bar table, but it works perfectly as a standing desk.
- MartinCron 15y agoAt my height, bar tables are perfect standing desks, and bar stools are perfect if you want to sit down without having to think about changing desk height.
- chaostheory 15y agoWouldn't it be awkward over long hours though? Specifically wouldn't you want the keyboard near your waist and the monitor closer to your head, as opposed to bending to look at the screen; or having to raise your arms closer to your shoulders?
- jarcoal 15y agoThe keyboard is ~6 inches above my waistline, which feels perfect to me. The screens are the same distance from my head whether I'm standing or sitting. I keep a barstool by the desk for any periods when I am tired, although interestingly enough, I find that I sit when I'm learning, and stand when I'm producing (I'm a web dev). So exhaustion isn't the primary dictator of whether I'm standing or sitting.
- chaostheory 15y agoIs it ideal to be bending down (ever so slightly) to look at your monitor from an ergonomics point of view?
- jarcoal 15y agoNot sure honestly. I can't imagine looking up or down for long periods of time is good.
