I went for the Pro 36. I have two 24 inch Dell monitors sitting comfortably on it. If you needed to have larger monitors then go for the bigger one. The dimensions are given on the site, so you could do a test run on the plan area with cardboard cut-outs. The unit is well constructed and should

What size did you go for? Looks like quite a few options. Is the one you went for a good size? On 19 Oct 2015 19:28, "Stuart Kinnear" wrote: > I have the VariDesk Pro, purchased a couple of months ago. It is well made > and well priced. It allows you to easily change heights and utilises an > exi

I have the VariDesk Pro, purchased a couple of months ago. It is well made and well priced. It allows you to easily change heights and utilises an existing desk top surface. I change from sitting to standing every couple of hours or so. I also stand on a carpet to reduce the foot stress. (my floor

I bought myself a bar table to use as a standing desk at home, in the evenings. It's fixed height, but it's actually a perfect height for me (YMMV). Initially I found it surprisingly hard, and my feet hurt. I brought over a bar stool which I now use if I want to slack off, though I'm definitely us

I caught a glimpse of a varidesk look a like in an officeworks commercial and cost was between $100-200 so may be worth checking out. On Friday, 16 October 2015, Peter Gfader wrote: > http://eu.varidesk.com/ > > Nice. Price and functionality seems to be great. > Havent seen those. > Thanks > >

You know that was what I found initially. I can now get into a zone standing up. I did realise that I like to pace when thinking and standing assists that. I also find that standing at whiteboard when thinking makes up for the sitting with a pad and pen for doing design. However I'm the kind of per

Those mats are good. Without them a few people I know were getting knee and hip pain. I find it harder to think standing though. Not sure if there is a scientific explanation for this or I just need more time standing for my brain to switch over. On Friday, 16 October 2015, Preet Sangha wrote:

I've been standing for about 10 weeks now and it was quite hard in the first couple of weeks. I the other day a colleague mentioned that I was practically standing all day without taking good short sit down breaks. To tell you the truth it feels normal. Just like sitting and working did. I'm quite

Some high end office fitouts use the Mirra, not the Aeron (which comes in three different sizes and needs setup, whereas pretty much all you need to do is sit in a Mirra and it's right). Caveat: I'm not lucky enough to have used either outside of the showroom. http://www.hermanmiller.com/products/

Hi all, I know there was a thread on office chairs here not so long ago and I remember Greg Low and a few others recommend a particular brand which I had intended to look into. Recent spinal issues have caused me to revisit this sooner rather than later but I have since lost the email and was w
