Just to pile on further, tons of us over at Active use a standing/sitting solution and love it. Gives you a break to stretch out, and when your feet get tired you give them a break by sitting back down again.

I'm in the market for a new work chair / stool and I like to hear feedback about what people think is the most ergonomic solution. To frame the issue a bit: - I'm current sitting at a desk, however, that might change soon also. I hope to upgrade to an adjustable sitting / standing workstation eventually. - I'm only looking for something adjustable (a no-brainer right ?). Ideally something that can adjust a great deal (in case I end up with a high desk). - This is just my personal preference, but I subscribe to the less is more approach. For the past 5 years or so, my chair has been an exercise ball. I really like it, but they tend to only last 6 months to a year before springing a leak. It has become very wasteful. I'd really like to hear from people that use some kind of stool (no back or arm rests). Thanks and looking forward to hearing what you guys and gals are using! My wife is a physical therapist. She concurs with the recent research you may have heard of saying you're better off standing. I have a standing-height desk and then a rather uncomfortable hard bar stool. This encourages me to stand and move about during my work day. -- -- SD Ruby mailing list [email protected] http://groups.google.com/group/sdruby --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "SD Ruby" group.
