Fucking finally! No more sitting!

Is this convenient? Don't your legs hurt after a while?

I still don't understand the standing desk fad. I like my desk because i can sit at it. In my comfy chair no less.

It does take a little getting used to, but it's better than sitting all day. The problem is I sit at school and half-crouch-half-sit at home in a very uncomfortable position, which can't be good for health and posture.

Sitting too much in general can make you fat, misalign your spine, give you varicose veins as well as all kinds of other problems. Standing too much can hurt your legs and make you sore, but that can be avoided if you stand straight, change postures, stretch, and occasionally move your leg muscles for blood circulation.

I totally get you, although the reason I still got mine was because I sit every day, 24/7.

@Shully I sit a lot too so I might try it out some day. I have some benches I can put my laptop on.

Had a standing desk for 2+ years. Solved my neck and shoulder stiffness after a few months of using.

@virus200 Not a fad. Has some serious health benefits. We all sit WAY too much.

This would kill my feet so quickly...

Those edges will hurt

I use a stability ball occasionally. Helps strengthen the muscles and keeps me also concentrated.

Such a table is next on my list.

I also considered a ergo wall mount workstation like this https://amazon.com/gp/aw/...

@justsomeguy I work 12 hour days on my feet walking around. I'll take my sitting desk.

@virus200 It's for office workers who sit 7-10 hours a day. You obviously don't fit within that demographic.

@Ashkin good point. @Shully invest in (something like) an ergotron mat - it really does help.

@justwellbrock that's exactly what I got! Great choice as you have the option to sit too (which you'll probably want to do during the first few weeks occasionally).

Oh Great! So you're gonna lie on the couch now?

Sitting more than 6 hours in day is not good for your body. Working in standing position is really great solution

You still can sit on the couch
