I can't imagine actually being productive in a standing position.

With the mess of cables and UPSes and computers standing on the floor under my desk, I wouldn't see that as practical in my case.
Besides...with a desk as the one pictured, I could absolutely see myself tilting the whole thing over when I'd want to get up and have it all come crashing down to the floor.

A few boxes on top of an existing desk. Low cost, and you can use that to decide if it's for you.
(Also, I highly recommend doing it in short segments throughout the day. Switching to just standing is a recipe for discomfort.)

Thanks, good thought, current layout prevents doing that.

They have desks that can switch between standing and sitting in size. Get one of those if you get one at all.
Standing all day is just as hard on the body as sitting all day. Just ask anyone that works on their feet all day (servers, stockers, etc.).

As usual, wisdom from this group has been enlightening, if not helpful. I am going to review it all mixing in a 6-pack of my favorite beverage. Thanks all.

I have to stand for awhile, 2-3 hrs due to multiple spinal fusions, at least one day a week. I'm a freelancer so no employer to buy something fancy. I bought an inexpensive, $30, item on Amazon to see how I would like working standing up and if it helped, before investing in an expensive model. It is actually a wooden sofa or bed desk that is adjustable height wise and the top tilts at several angles. My 27" monitor is also height adjustable. I raise it, set the tray on top of my desk for my keyboard & mouse, and it is comfortable for me. I sure couldn't stand all day but it is a nice break from sitting, and works so well for me that I don't plan to get anything else. The item is called "SONGMICS Large Laptop Stand Bed Tray with Folding Legs...". It is very sturdy and stable with plenty of room on top for a large notebook and/or several devices.

Everyone at our work has motorised standing desks. They good even if you don’t use the standing function very often. I have set the heights so that in the standing position I can fit the chair under the desk. The big advantage for the IT support people is they can easily raise the desk for easy cabling underneath.

Thank you, some I hadn't seen. I am amazed at the price range of those things.

Make sure to have comfy shoes or a foam / rubber mat to stand on.

Thanks, looked at some mats yesterday. Good suggestion.

And having a box or chair or something to put an alternating foot up on helps too. . .kinda stretches the back.
All this sounds like a pain in the you know what, but I do recommend working from a standing position. .it really is good for you and your body and you might be amazed at the extra calories burned. I know I was hungrier (key is to not overcompensate) for lunch consistently, when I started working from a standing position.

I can't stand using a desk
Seriously though, this may sound obvious, but get one that's high enough for you.
I worked for a company that standardized on desks that were just too low for the majority of the (Dutch) men working there.
With 1.80m (below average over here ) it was doable for me, but I could've used a few more cm.
So pay a bit more for extra height, I guess.

Thanks. I am 1.8m as well.
I don't speak meters so had to duckduckgo it.
