Standing in front of my new stand-up desk I’m experiencing an unexpected sense of freedom.<\/p>\n
I wanted to try a stand-up desk for years. Several people I know recommended them but the problem is: my desk is huge, it’s well organized, and I didn’t want to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on something I may or may not like.<\/p>\n
I spend many hours a day in front of my computer and my posture sucks, always did. I would love to do anything I can to improve my posture, but I didn’t know whether I could physically handle standing in front of a desk for so long.<\/p>\n
Need a cheap experiment! Good thing I have a workshop and some left-over MDF.<\/p>\n
Figuring out the correct height of the stand-up desk was very hard. I found some advice on the internet telling me to have the desk just under my elbows. Better lower than higher the guy said. Made sense.<\/p>\n
My huge L-shaped desk has three legs, so I built three boxes to raise each leg by 40 cm. The MDF was free and it’s not the best looking thing but glued into a box it’s strong enough. My computer and power bar had to be raised together with the desk so a couple of the boxes are wider than they would need to be for the desk alone. The boxes measure:<\/p>\n
