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.
