That's surprising, to me at least. Here in Norway, desks like this are fairly ordinary. I've had one for a few years, and I've got no complaints. I'll be honest, though-- I probably only have it in the standing position once every month or two.

Unfortunately they don't supply this to all countries where they operate.

I bought this in Germany two years ago and put my own surface on it. I like the flexibility of this setup, and the stand comes with a 10-year warranty.

I know the Fog Creek office has them. http://picasaweb.google.com/spolsky/FogCreekSNewOffice#

I work here: http://mecel.se/

I'd say that most Swedish companies have them. Ergonomics is big here.
