Switching to a Standing Desk


At work I have a standard desk (4 legs, flat surface, you get the picture). For a while now I've been thinking about converting to a standing desk. What would be the best way to go about this on a limited budget? Are there some good laptop/keyboard stands I could place on my existing desk? Which ones are the best?

I'm trying to avoid requesting a whole new desk, and keeping things as simple as possible.


Solution

  • Talk to an occupational therapist and get their advice because you'll be drastically changing the way you posture yourself for hours at a time.

    Agencies that assist people with disabilities and their carers (if you're in Australia, look up the Independent Living Centre in your capital city) would be a good start. You'll be able to test out a variety of models if they have a showroom and get advice from a medical professional not a furniture salesman.
