hi Chris, i always enjoy to listen your podcast. but this is the first time i visit your blog.
and as soon as i see this post, i notice that’s exackly what i’ve always wanted and
attended to make!

i tried, by put some hand-made hard boxes on desk and put monitor and keyboards
on the box. but it’s too weak to lean on, also i didn’t want my desk looks messy or ugly ,
so i quit that a long time before

Now i see it’s not an idea just came from my own xD !
wow, i’m glad that everyone has been thought about the standing desk.
who knew? I should’ve made it good and sell it. ㅋㅋ

Thanks again, Chris.

Wow I have always thought about doing this but I never really found a way to practically do it. But this is amazing, I can finally see a set up that would work for me. Thanks for sharing Chris.

I have always-always-always been interested in a standing work station. I think the first prof. environment I’d seen with a similar set up was a photo of one of the engineer labs at Google.

I’m a pretty tall guy, and the workstations at my day job — while equipped with those fancy Herman Miller Aeron chairs — still kind of crumple me up.

The “energized” point is also really interesting, because it seems like when you are in an ergonomic ‘comfortable’ sitting position, it’s easy to get, er, too comfortable. Haha!

Thanks for this post! Really insightful. May try this at my home studio.
