Anyone get any experience of extended working at a standing desk?
I like the idea of it as I find myself choosing the higher seats in coffee shops or meeting areas in the office. You can vary your setup, stand or sit on a higher chair etc. You also can't slouch as much if you are sat on a higher chair compared to a normal office chair.
I have also started to suffer a little with lower back pain so it helps me change position and manage it. Research into health impacts of sitting all day is pretty mature and the more vertical position helps me maintain a better posture.
Good reading on it here....

“It doesn’t matter if you go running every morning, or you’re a regular at the gym. If you spend most of the rest of the day sitting — in your car, your office chair, on your sofa at home — you are putting yourself at increased risk of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, a variety of cancers and an early death. In other words, irrespective of whether you exercise vigorously, sitting for long periods is bad for you.”
