#standingdesk — Public Fediverse posts

I finally have a standing desk! I was not ready to spend 480€ on a new one, but this one was acquired by my wife from her previous workplace for free. The company was closing its office and gave some furniture away to employees.
Now it's mine =)

It is old and wobbly in the top position, but I really like it so far. It is very unusual to stand while working, though.

Thank you all for this really interesting feedback!
What I'm getting so far is:

1. only sitting or only standing is not great for most people
2. taking more walking breaks & doing more exercise is the easiest, cheapest way to get the benefits of a standing desk
3. typing, reading might be difficult while in standing position, but doing online meetings is fine
4. there are cheap ways to convert a normal desk in standing desk
5. in any case, one should definitely get an adjustable standing desk
6. with the standing desk, having a soft mat or a treadmill is important

This made me less likely to get a standing desk for myself, especially because I'm mostly doing writing / reading / coding and point 3) says that I might not be able to do this while standing 😬 So here's a poll specifically about this!

While standing / walking at your (adjustable) standing desk, do you find it:
(multiple choices possible, and this is just for working on a computer, sorry)

Have you ever tried to use a #StandingDesk for work (whether working from home or in the office), if so would you recommend it?

Since I'm spending about 23/24h sitting (or sleeping) these days, I wonder if I should give it a go.. Please tell me what you think!

I started Covid working online and attending classes on a 6-foot plastic folding table. 6 years and a Master’s degree later I finally get to retire the plastic, setting up my dream #homeoffice studio. Just in time for Spring telehealth therapy, coaching, and consulting. 🙏🌈🚀 #standingdesk

I'm sorry, but if you're in the #StandingDesk industry, and your marketing tagline isn't "you can get half-pissed and dance to your favourite tunes while while you work", you've missed the point of your product.

Yet another dreaded #FullyJarvis (IIRC they got sold and no longer called that though) #StandingDesk #Error08

The controller was always on (should turn off/sleep after a couple of seconds) so that I've tried lowering to the lowest position and boom Error 08. The default reset did not work as it was still giving Error after reset (keep pressing the down button until lowest and keep pressing more to see the "Reset"). I've raised one leg while pressing Reset and then worked.

Breaking news: my chiropractor just sent me this CNET article on 'Best Standing Desks of 2025.' Coincidence? I think not.

Are standing desks *actually* saving our spines, or just giving us another way to fidget during stand-ups? Asking for a friend (my lower back).

Quite a productive day off. I built a desk and tried my hardest to cable manage it all.
I'm enjoying the extra space and look forward to standing more often.
Desk is an updown klik desk. Pheasantwood 150x75cm.
Building the desk was the easy part for sure 😅

Workstation for music

On the left, trying to manage two desktops on one, er, desktop

On the right: the new #StandingDesk for my Mac Mini and #ProTools setup

I have a 10-key w/ mechanical switches on order so I can fully use the shortcuts. No speakers in here, but considering my environment I'm mostly working in headphones anyway here.

(As a bonus, it's on ethernet so I could stream games from my main desktop in the living room.)

I have a sit/stand desk but it's hand cranked, so I'll admit I rarely raise it, but today I had to because there's a new #Kendrick album and no way I'm sitting while listening to this

Your #standingdesk isn’t making you any #healthier
A large new study found that standing for more than two hours a day doesn’t protect against the cardiovascular risks of too much #sitting. The researchers found that substituting sitting with standing time delivered no worthwhile health benefits in the >83,000 adults monitored.
Just get up and move around every 30 minutes or so, suggest scientists.

I love my standing desk, and find I move more.

Well, my IKEA Bekant sit/stand desk I've had for 15 years finally bit the dust, and is seized up in a standing position. I've fixed this before, but I'm seeing more issues the longer I have it, and I don't like the idea of dismantling everything for a slim chance to fix it again.

I have therefore placed an order for a new standing desk! I opted for a Progressive Prime Ryzer w/ MDF tabletop. Inexpensive, ships locally, and has what seems like great reviews and good support.

Working on a first standing desk setup. Anyone has any secret tips?
So far I got a raised stand for the monitor to level it out a bit and a foot math because the feet fatigue is real, nobody told me my feet will hurt like that 😵

Bought a motorized #StandingDesk for my 5th wheel trailer. It should be here next week. Just hope it holds up when I'm traveling since my work area is in the very back of the living room. Also looking forward to putting both my monitor and my graphics tablet on "monitor arms" so I can work and draw more effectively. #RVLife

Bought myself a standing desk for the home office…

Now work is like Catholic mass without the kneeling.

stand up, sit down, stand up, sit down…

It IS good for my Fitness tracker numbers
