I’ve been using a Varidesk Pro Plus from Varidesk (http://au.varidesk.com/) for a while and find myself alternating between standing and sitting every hour or so. It’s $440 plus delivery but it can be placed on most existing desks to convert it into a sit/stand desk pretty easily. I have dual 26” monitors on it and raising/lowering the desk is really easy.

I'm not convinced standing for 8-9 hours a day would be a good idea. The option I was considering (but haven't tried to implement yet) was to setup a standard sitting desk but then add an additional monitor, keyboard and mouse as a standing desk next to the sitting desk. You then have a KVM so you can switch between your standing and sitting monitors. This means switching between sitting and standing is as simple as pressing a button and standing up (or sitting down). It doesn't require a fancy or modified desk and if you happen to have a spare monitor/mouse/keyboard you only need a standard cheap standing desk and kvm. This setup would even work with multiple monitors, especially since you don't need to switch all the monitors.
