Built Me a Standing Desk!

I've wanted a standing desk for a long time, and i finally bought myself one!

I found one for around £130 on Amazon which is just the right depth and width for both my usage and the room it's going in, so happy days.

Why a standing desk...?

Honestly I spend so long sitting and writing and it's all too sedentary, I just wanted to give myself the option of being able to stand for X-Y amount of time every day.

I just think that sitting for too long ain't very good for you!

Turns out it's also quite handy for doing yoga and other workouts, can slide the chair all the way under when it's raised to the max creating a bit of extra room.

This one has three set-levels, and then you can micro adjust by the millimetre, it's VERY NICE!

What I didn't bargain for is having to put together four bits for the top...

It's all OK, in the end I quite like the sections, it helps me keep things in order...

• back section - monitor.
• front section - keyboard and keep clear
• right section - mouse and books
• left section - light, stationary, COFEE CUPS, other books.

It was a liquid flat back experience, everything fitting together really easily....

And not at all complicated...

And with the legs on...

Seated

Standing...

It actually goes up quite a bit higher, I honestly think you could use it comfortably standing if you were 7 foot tall, so it accommodates nearly every one on the planet!

And just what everyone with a new standing desk needs...

Obviously I also bought myself a new chair to go with it.

Maybe I haven't thought this through enough...?
