I'm thinking something relatively austere and uncomfortable, like a plain round swivel stool, is the way to go, so as not to settle in and get mushy. Would that be right minded thinking?
Something like this perhaps?

Standing Desk: Barstool suggestions?
Anyone use standing desk much? I used to but have been lazy lately. Just re-arrange today for standing use again. In the past my lower back would ache after extended standing, especially in the beginning before the muscles set. This time I'd like to have a tall stool to lean my lazy butt upon from time to time.

I have used a standing desk for years and have never used a chair.
I say go all in. You'll be tired at first, but without a stool or chair, you'll be less likely to backslide.

I do something similar and use a wire shelving unit and an old fashioned 4-legged stool I got at Target w/an added pad on it. Stool is comfortable enough to sit on a bit and uncomfortable enough to make me stand up much of the time.Thud wrote:Anyone use standing desk much? I used to but have been lazy lately.

I have a tall stool with my standing desk, but rarely use it. If I sit when I work, I tend to sit on the stability ball and not at the standing desk, of course.

My training partner is an engineer who does a lot of circuit board work on the microscope and had a really hard transition for like 2 weeks but then a ton of little niggling injuries just disappeared and his throws went way up.

If you want to sling in, fine. Just don't attach it to the floor and over complicate things.nafod wrote:And probably more comfortable with a single point sling.Batboy2/75 wrote:I have used a standing desk for years and have never used a chair.

he was fully juiced beforehand. i think the standing helped with some back issues not addressed by GH.

Well it's a table; plenty of support. Go all in with a .50 cal Barrett. If you got he money and live the right state, go for the Ma Deuce, m-60, or Mg42. Mounted on a tripod with a nice T&E. Sand bag bunker fighting position is a must. Fire off an e-mail and then kill the mail man a thousand meters down the road. Get the family involved doing farmer carry's running resupply runs to your stand up desk/ bunker you with .50 cal or 7.62 or 8mm ammo cans.nafod wrote:What size round should the table be able to stop?

I use a stool from IKEA at home. I don't know how "comfortable" is it but it looks fine and does the job. I toss stuff on it when I get home, something you couldn't do with a swivel stool.Thud wrote:Anyone use standing desk much? I used to but have been lazy lately.

Barstool!
My old man uses a standing desk and has for years AKA as a drafting table. He has a bar stool and goes between standing and sitting and always paces while on the phone.
