The "$22 of ikea parts" approach looks like a torture device to me.
The tiniest tweak to standing desk height can make a big difference in resulting posture and comfort. (My exact height preference even changes from day to day, perhaps due to varying shoes or recent levels of other activity.)
- peterhajas 13y agoWhat sort of activities do you change desk height for?
- gojomo 13y agoIt's not strictly modal, "when doing X use height Y" – I just find my posture preference changing slightly over time. I suppose long writing/coding is a bit more active/upright (higher), while long reading/browsing tends to involve a forward or alternating side-lean (lower). Shoes, time of day, and other recent exertion seem to be factors as well. And I alternate to seated, for hours or sometimes days at a time, for variety. I suspect I'm more likely to start a new project or do many small independent tasks while standing, and more likely to work-through a lengthier, involved task while seated... but I haven't kept careful notes.
