I have had a standing desk for almost 6 months now and I couldn't be happier. I have lower back herniated discs and sitting exerts way more pressure on my lower spine than standing. The added benefit is that I get to move and stretch more easily then I'd do sitting.
I do not stand the entire day though. I take short breaks by sitting on a high chair. I stand for about 2 hours and then sit for 15-30 minutes. This has worked way better than any ergonomic chair for me.
- abcd_f 13y agoI have an adjustable height table and an Aeron. This is certainly THE combination if you can get it. Because there are mornings when standing is simply not an option.
- geekam 13y agoI agree with you but after a while it became a habit for me. Although I am not perfect yet but I can avoid sitting during "those" mornings to a great extent now.
- praptak 13y agoA solution similar in spirit, sitting on an exercise ball: http://lifehacker.com/5830748/why-i-switched-my-office-chair-with-an-exercise-ball-and-what-it-feels-like http://lifehacker.com/5830748/why-i-switched-my-office-chair...
- geekam 13y agoI have tried exercise ball and still own one. The only problem is that it does not work with high table. I'd love to switch to the exercise ball when I have to sit. I also like the Kneeling chair[1] which is a similar solution although works mostly on keeping your back straight where as, exercise ball helps your core as well.
