Re: Re-request - Office chair again
I went for the Pro 36. I have two 24 inch Dell monitors sitting comfortably on it. If you needed to have larger monitors then go for the bigger one. The dimensions are given on the site, so you could do a test run on the plan area with cardboard cut-outs. The unit is well constructed and should last a long time. The packaging is something else - much more robust than a Canberra coffee table - I almost needed a chainsaw to dispose of it ! - Stuart On 19 October 2015 at 20:39, Dave Walker wrote: > What size did you go for?

Re: Re-request - Office chair again
What size did you go for? Looks like quite a few options. Is the one you went for a good size?

Re: Re-request - Office chair again
I have the VariDesk Pro, purchased a couple of months ago. It is well made and well priced. It allows you to easily change heights and utilises an existing desk top surface. I change from sitting to standing every couple of hours or so. I also stand on a carpet to reduce the foot stress. (my floor is wood). Make sure that there are no cups of tea or other objects that can come within the descent path of the desk. Also make sure that any mouse cables, network cables etc can freely move within the height range. - I have clipped the cables such that the desk and table top surface provide a fixed reference point and there are no pinch points. I watched a television documentary not so long ago which provided a catalyst to get off my butt and get one. (http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/31TVF5dHY342pN9pPgJ30rg/the-big-standing-up-experiment) . For me it is not a remarkable change, as I am fairly active. However I think it helps me deal with the sleepy periods of the afternoon. I have always moved around because of back issues, this will hopefully maintain or improve the issues. If anything I am slouching less due to a concious effort to change posture, and on the few occasions where I need to do a 12 hour day I won't suffer the next 4 days.

Re: Re-request - Office chair again
I bought myself a bar table to use as a standing desk at home, in the evenings. It's fixed height, but it's actually a perfect height for me (YMMV). Initially I found it surprisingly hard, and my feet hurt. I brought over a bar stool which I now use if I want to slack off, though I'm definitely using the stool less and less. At work I'm still sitting, but enslaved by the activity monitor on my wrist I have to get up and walk every hour. That's a great place to start I reckon. Two colleagues are now using varidesk-type setups. It's tempting.

Re: Re-request - Office chair again
You know that was what I found initially. I can now get into a zone standing up. I did realise that I like to pace when thinking and standing assists that. I also find that standing at whiteboard when thinking makes up for the sitting with a pad and pen for doing design. However I'm the kind of person who draws pictures in his head to help the thinking process so standing, pacing and moving my arms about (bit like 90s sci Fi) works for me.

Re: Re-request - Office chair again
Those mats are good. Without them a few people I know were getting knee and hip pain. I find it harder to think standing though. Not sure if there is a scientific explanation for this or I just need more time standing for my brain to switch over.

Re: Re-request - Office chair again
I've been standing for about 10 weeks now and it was quite hard in the first couple of weeks. I the other day a colleague mentioned that I was practically standing all day without taking good short sit down breaks. To tell you the truth it feels normal. Just like sitting and working did. I'm quite overweight but I have not the slightest in back pain. Absolutely none. I did get an anti fatigue mat on the recommendation of another contributer here and it made a world of difference. My standing desk is just a couple of extended monitor raising stands currently, but the company has already suggested getting me a proper standing desk. I haven't agreed to it yet as I wanted to prove to myself that I could do it and that it would be just if not more productive to stand. All in all I thoroughly recommend it to everyone.

Re: Re-request - Office chair again
Some high end office fitouts use the Mirra, not the Aeron (which comes in three different sizes and needs setup, whereas pretty much all you need to do is sit in a Mirra and it's right).
