As I mentioned in my this morning’s post, I used my standing desk today. My original goal was to see what it was like for an hour or two, but I wound up using it all day, with a couple of exceptions when I had to look at someone else’s system.

The heights of my monitors and keyboard were just right – I’d definitely advise anyone/everyone to make sure that the heights you choose are correct for your body – and there was plenty of room for my mouse to scroll across both screens. As the shelf that’s used for the keyboard and mouse tray is rather rigid and unforgiving, I highly recommend a wrist pad.

If I had to identify a down side, it would be this: I spent the day standing on the hard plastic chair mat at my desk. It was my only source of discomfort, but it’s nothing that a floor mat – possibly memory foam – couldn’t fix.

On the whole, I’d say that the maiden voyage of the desk was a success.

If you’re considering a standing desk option that’s relatively inexpensive, this setup works and is worth it.

Namaste.
