I do want to buy a good, adjustable standing desk. Any recommendations?
You cannot adjust the height of the shelves without taking most of the desk apart. The increments are fairly course, so it may be difficult to get the height right -- I had to dig up the riser which came with my Microsoft Natural keyboard.
I use it with an IKEA bar stool and often switch between sitting and standing a few times during the day.
Closer to $500, and not as much surface area as a regular desk, but great Swedish quality and definitely a relief for my back.
