I can make this in my shop rather easily, but I thought you guys might want to check it out
 


It's too fucking small. That other standup on Kickstarter looked much better.
 
heh, that thing is supposed to be a desk? Thought it was an adjustable chair of some sort when I first looked at it.
 
It's an interesting design. The wood construction turns me off. But if the creators get sufficient backing, they'll probably manufacture alloy-based models down the road.

I've been looking at Varidesk. It's sturdy, portable, and reasonably priced. Besides, I like my current desk.

Here's a short video...

Just another hipster trend, and with it's own set of health problems. I want to see anyone stand in one spot for hours and not feel discomfort.

Personally, I alternate. I sit for a couple hours, stand for a couple of hours, etc.

I've experimented with 10-hour sessions on my feet. My legs and back start to hurt after 8 hours. At the point, my productivity plummets.

I'm still experimenting, but alternating between sitting and standing sessions - 1 to 2 hours per session - seems to improve my focus during long working days.

I'd love to know how others approach it. :)
 
I should make a kickstarter campaign to redesign my body so that it can tolerate the desk I already have.

Actually, this is the recommended mode for quite a while now.

"Variable seating" I.e. alternate between chair, standing, giant sitting ball, whatever have you to vary the load on the spine and back muscles.

I just built myself a standing desk. I recently found out I've completely ruptured one of my lower discs and I've never had any major injuries or trauma to my body. It's sitting down all day ever since I was about 13 that did it I think.

Yeah standing has its own problems but fuck bros what are we supposed to do? Holding any posture the human form allows for more than 5 minutes is now the Worst Thing You Could Do. Apparently nature intended for us to be cartwheeling across the jungle all day.

I'll try the treadmill thing too eventually. Fad schmad, tell it to my sore back.

Unless constant pain is something you're after, don't purchase this. For any sort of regular or long-term use you need your arms supported past the elbow.

Can you elaborate? The only guidelines I've seen are stuff like this:

The challenge with this position is that while the ergonomics are correct, the upper body will inevitably tire and begin to sag, causing either a forward lean (giving that "Gameboy back" feeling in the shoulder blades) or sagging elbows, which can lead to carpal tunnel issues. A better setup that could effectively last for many more hours would be a standing version of this:

As you can see with the guy standing here (and your woman above) the forearm should be at about a 90 degree angle to the upper arm. Having your arm supported from elbow through forearm eliminates angle changes due to fatigue.

If your desk isn't set up like this I would encourage you to try it sometime.
 
I'm ruined to stationary workdays. Depending on how many stims I've pumped into my system I'm all over the place throughout the day. Being mobile and working where you want to be rather than always in an office/desk setting is the only way to fly.

Been using this forever, one at the office one at home. Too easy, comfortable and versatile to change.

It's fucking euphoric, just like this cheese dick looks
