I have been thinking about this very seriously of late. My wife and I are expecting a child in February. He will take the room that my office is currently in. I have a music studio in my basement. Trust me, it sounds much more glamorous than it is. Really it is just some drums, some guitars and a bit of recording year. However, it does take a good bit of space. I'm in the process of trying to reconfigure that studio so I can fit in my work office as well. There is a large workbench down there and it is at standing level. I was thinking of not having a chair at all. The first time I realized that a standing desk was even an option was when I read an article about Donald Rumsfeld. Apparently he has a standing desk. While I am no Donald Rumsfeld fan, the idea intrigued me. Thanks for posting this, it's more affirmation that I should follow through with this.
