I talk with a lot of people about getting started with standing desks, and I usually recommend throwing a small cheap table (ikea) on top of your existing desk and getting a drafting chair (tall). This way you don't have to pay for a variable height desk, and you keep it on the cheap side to see if you actually like it. Also, be sure to start slow and stand for maybe an hour or two a day for a few weeks. Then gradually stand more and more.
I've gone into more detail here: http://reustle.io/blog/cant-stand-sitting http://reustle.io/blog/cant-stand-sitting

- benrhughes 13y agoA couple of crates and a 1800mm sheet of melamine worked well for me: https://www.flickr.com/x/t/0094009/photos/benrhughes/10828337133/ https://www.flickr.com/x/t/0094009/photos/benrhughes/1082833.... Cost all of about AU$40. Because I have a corner desk, I can sit at the other half when I want to write, and I use a stool for the rare occasions I want to sit while typing.

- the_cat_kittles 13y agoI do this too- I can't find the ikea side table I use, but this one looks like it would work, and its 10 bucks: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/90251697/#/80104268 http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/90251697/#/801042...
