      The point is, if you do ever want to have a sit down, it makes sense to move up to the desk height, not have the desk move down to the chair height. I often stand at the local bar. If I'm tired I'll grab a stool - I don't grab a chair and ask for the entire bar to be lowered.

      Ah, I see. Not many tall seats good for actual work though.

        Well, I guess you don't want to make sitting down tooo comfortable.

              It was surprising to see only one vendor in Dubai has a standing desk, an automatic adjusted desk, and cost approximately $1400!

              After 2 days of searching almost all furniture and computer desk shops, finally ended up getting a bar table from ikea for now. Will try to assemble one if possible sometime soon, but for now, this looks good enough as a start! 🙂 Lets see how it goes!

                    This is what they have in Dubai, pretty expensive though. I've passed this to my management as they were also looking at some standing desks for users and in conference rooms as well!

                          Thanks. I'll be in Europe with @dominica later this year but not Dubai on this trip. Someday though.

                            I had a standing desk for about 3 months and I really thought it great for a while. When I moved offices I went back to a regular desk. I would like to try an adjustable desk,

                              @technobabble If its cheaper there, I would suggest to get the hydraulic/automatic adjusted desk. And second day of use, feels very good. I might get one for my office too! 🙂

                                  I know that I would. I'm sitting right now and wish that I was standing.

                                    I decided that I needed to stand more and am sick of sitting down. So I took a table in the living room, put a packing bin on top of it, put a laptop on it and am now very happy having a standing height machine to use right in the middle of the house where the wife and kids are. This is really nice. I'm able to easily walk up, work, walk away do whatever and feel great already. I like this a lot.

                                      Well, I just might have to rethink some things...Drafting chairs and tall workbench might be what this home office needs. Drafting chairs does sound like something a Nascar fan would have in his living vRooom!

                                            I just found out from a Hulu ad that Varidesk is not just made in Texas, but super local to us right by the airport. They have an office tour there that you can take now to check out all of their stuff. Right in Coppell, that's their HQ.
