I have a desk from the Human Solution made with reclaimed wood. It wasn't cheap, but it's solid and it looks great. Friends are always complementing me on it. It's been working well for about two years now.

Oh nice. Do you adjust the monitor height when you lift/lower the desk.

I was thinking of making something similar to the gaze desk. I just need to find the right hardware for it. http://www.gazedesk.com/en/product/sample-product/gaze-desk-...

No. I use Ergotron arms (http://www.ergotron.com/en-us/) for my MacBook and external monitor. Everything is always at the right height regardless of whether I'm sitting or standing.

Here's a picture of my setup:

I've taken a look at that same desk. Are the surface and edges smooth, or are there rough patches that could snag/splinter? Can you write on paper on the desk surface smoothly?

Good question. Yes, there are rough patches. You couldn't write on paper without something like a book underneath.
