I often get a bad back from sitting at a computer all day, so I thought I’d try a standing desk. After 3 weeks of standing, I think I’d find it hard to go back to sitting down all day – I really enjoy working standing up.
Here what I’m using now:
4 x Vika Kaj legs
4 x Capita legs (the 21cm ones)
2 x Vika Amon table tops
It works pretty well, but with the main legs at about 85 cm, it needs to be braced against the wall to make it a bit more solid when typing.
Here are some other test versions I tried while figuring out what would work.

Hello,
Looks great! How did you attach the capita legs? It looks like they only screw in on the one side.
Let me know,

The capita legs were just screwed to the underside of the upper desktop, but not attached to the lower desk top. It seemed to be fairly secure just resting on the top.
Since then, I’ve actually bought a desk frame that can be raised or lowered : https://heightadjustabledesks.com/prod/105/zenith–winding-height-adjustable-desk-frames
It still has the same desktop on it, which works well.
