Ask HN: Do hackers use standing desks?

3 pointsby JaretManuelalmost 15 years ago
I recently read an article that mentioned "standing desks" and I am curious if any of you use them? If so, sharing your setup and tips etc would be great.

I use one, though I didn't buy an expensive stand up desk. I just had an old dresser that was about the right height, I put a thick piece of wood on the top to give it a bit more height and now it's a desk!

I do.<p>It's not so much a standing desk as a lump in my room (there's a staircase below it) that comes up to about waist height.<p>Laptop goes on a couple of boxes and a riser to get to eye height, keyboard and mouse go on a large board on some more boxes.<p>It's extremely comfortable for hours at a time and I certainly find it easier to concentrate. There's less of a temptation to recline back in a comfy chair and watch YouTube videos all day.

I've used one in the past and it would be good to return to that setup.<p>there are really expensive ones out there, but really all you need is something that gets yr monitor and keyboard up to a suitable height. i found something for &#60;$100 in the past. there are also keyboard holders you can buy and install to help get the keyboard at a good height.<p>enjoy.
