Standing Desk Experiment

by on 06/21/2010

Using a standing desk to supercharge your life.   You may not be familiar with the concept of a standing desk, but they have been around for hundreds of years.  Some of the greatest thinkers of our time have expounded their benefits.  After hearing Eben Pagan talk about his standing desk I had to give it a try.

My standing desk design is a modification of the Amazon.com door desk concept but with longer legs!  Attached is a video outlining the benefits of a standing desk and some pictures of the construction, ergonomics and the configuration of a standing desk.

We now use these exclusively at the office and they have been a huge boost to productivity and to mental clarity.

was not able to see this video – just hear it and see some slides. i’ve always loved standing up and creating at the desk…with a slanting top even better…with adjustable legs, better still! Thanks for your posts!!

Hrm… same as Anna, no video showing.

I do like the concept of the standing desks though. I use one at home, and its a godsend for my posture.

I’d love to have them in my office too, we just have standard cubes with office chairs.
