The only site I'll ever need...

Any of you cool people get with the times and try a standing desk? Opinions, if so? I'll welcome opinions of those who haven't tried them as well

Half my office uses one. 

I don't, because I'm lazy.

What I gather from people who use them - they seem to use them a lot in the morning and then as the day passes, they convert them back to sitting desks. 
But, as long as you have that option, they seem pretty positive about them for 4 hours/day or so.

I'm in a cube, which means I couldn't easily convert from one to the other. It could maybe be done, but it would be tough. That's my worry: I wouldn't want to just go from sitting my fat ass in a chair then to 9 hours a day standing

From what I've heard, it's good to do both (like the folks in Pen's office do). Standing for 9 hours a day just swaps a different set of problems.

I think it's still fairly easy to convert even in a cube. I've seen people rig these things in a lot of different ways. 

You just have to have some ingenuity.

INTREPID READER YETI, TWO WEEKS FROM NOW:
Anyone want to buy a used, slightly dented standing desk?

Yeah, you'll definitely want one that can convert between the two modes. If you go directly from sitting 9 hours a day right to standing 9 hours a day, you're going to have a really bad time.

I built a standing desk in to my home office, but have a drafting stool I sit on when I need to give my legs a rest.

True story: I once had the opportunity to buy a standing desk from Mark McKinney (I believe it was an ikea kitchen table that he'd converted some years ago).

I converted the full cubicle to a standing desk, and I'm looking at the route of a drafting stool. Best part of this project is that it didn't cost $600 for the desk like the 6 that our director's office purchased in the last year. Most of those are people new to the state and will be gone within 4 year because that's the nature of their jobs. So, fuck the notion that state workers are wasteful.
