@scottalanmiller Yes, in Dubai
Any plans to visit Dubai some time soon? Let me know!
I really should. I have many friends there.
-
Awesome! You should. Please let me know in case you plan, i would be more than happy to be your host!
-
Thanks. I'll be in Europe with @dominica later this year but not Dubai on this trip. Someday though.

I had a standing desk for about 3 months and I really thought it great for a while. When I moved offices I went back to a regular desk. I would like to try an adjustable desk,
-
@technobabble If its cheaper there, I would suggest to get the hydraulic/automatic adjusted desk. And second day of use, feels very good. I might get one for my office too!
-
@ambarishrh I think I would really like automatic adjustable desk.

I know that I would. I'm sitting right now and wish that I was standing.
-
I decided that I needed to stand more and am sick of sitting down. So I took a table in the living room, put a packing bin on top of it, put a laptop on it and am now very happy having a standing height machine to use right in the middle of the house where the wife and kids are. This is really nice. I'm able to easily walk up, work, walk away do whatever and feel great already. I like this a lot.

Well, I just might have to rethink some things...Drafting chairs and tall workbench might be what this home office needs. Drafting chairs does sound like something a Nascar fan would have in his living vRooom!

I just found out from a Hulu ad that Varidesk is not just made in Texas, but super local to us right by the airport. They have an office tour there that you can take now to check out all of their stuff. Right in Coppell, that's their HQ.

I actually have a varidesk and love it. The only thing to be concerned about is depth of the desk. If your desk is not deep enough, some of the varidesk will hang off and could compromise the stability of the varidesk. I've had mine rocking a few times. Other than that, they are great products.
I find that I usually use mine in the standing position, but there are times where I will lower it down.

Don't go a-dockin'
Your laptop, that is.

Hasn't it been proven that standing desks provide virtually no health benefits like people thought?

Wouldn't that also disprove that sitting all day is an issue?
I think for most people, it's not a health thing but a comfort thing. I like to stand a bit of the day.
-
If there are health benefits, it probably would come from switching positions regularly, rather than choosing any single one.
