I ordered a standing desk and I got it with assembly. I feel so incredibly bad sitting here while someone builds my new desk for me.
I am however excited to finally have a standing desk.

@kestral Ooh nice!!

@welshpixie I mean, it's no Doggy Time
but it's close. -

@Talen_Lee Excellent point well made. I feel slightly less guilty after my cat came down to help the guy. And help he did - turns out the person building the desk is nuts about cats but can't have one at home, so really enjoyed having a fluff ball crawl all over him whilst assembling.

@kestral @Talen_Lee It was impossible for one person to assemble my standing desk. I had to get help because I just could not have flipped the thing over onto its legs.
What did you wind up ordering?

@nomad @Talen_Lee I did not get a fancy model but I found a great one from Claiks UK that was reasonably priced and fits perfectly, I've got a CRT and I'm leaning on it and it's very sturdy, and it goes up and down like a dream.

@elsemusic what’ve you enjoyed most about it? Noticed many benefits?

@kestral The first day I had trouble standing more than an hour, but by the end of the first week I could stand all day without problems, so there's that. I added a wobble board about four years ago, and that had a similar adoption curve; I don't have to think about it now, which means my balance has improved significantly as well as those leg muscles involved in standing upright.
Making music is easier standing too. I don't have to scoot around on a chair, stand up / sit down all the time.

@elsemusic amazing! I was thinking of getting a walking treadmill conveyor thing too.
