  I have a standing desk....I like having the option, but in reality I don't use it a whole lot. I have leftover back issues from pregnancy, though, and standing too long exacerbates them. I use mine with a PC and two monitors.

  We have standing desks (on power lifts). You can choose to sit or stand. I like the option. I have used the standing desk occasionally. However, I prefer to sit and then get up every hour or so and walk around our building to get some exercise/movement and also reset my brain a bit. I will often walk while taking/making work phone calls as well since my work phone is a cell phone. 

  
  

  This year I have made a resolution to make every effort to walk at least 3 miles a day while at work. I've been able to do it all but one day where I had a full day workshop/meeting.

  Thanks guys! I have an office right now with a regular big sitting desk so I'm trying to figure out if I'd be able to add to that or whether I have to completely replace it with something else (which may be a problem since our office building is weird about uniformity of furniture for "aesthetic" reasons).
  I've always had bad posture and 3 close pregnancies have worsened it, when I stand I'm much better about it so trying to figure out my options.
