We are housed in a new building at a university. Everyone had the option of a sit/stand desk at move in. Most all who opted for them love them and I rarely see them sitting down. I would definitely go for it. What is the downside?

I alternate between sitting, standing, and (gasp) sitting on a gaming chair at the coffee table. And hey, it's a Herman Miller, so I'd go for it.

Given the chance for a sit/stand desk, I'd take it in a second! The smaller workspace wouldn't be too much of an issue for me as long as I had some storage below and ability to add a small table or such for odds and ends behind or off to the side. Of course if you have more than one monitor or computer on your desktop that could make a big difference. (I have 3 monitors because of separate systems for one, but there is that.)

Outside- With my main computer I do use two monitors but I think that will be fine. I keep a second computer going too which I use less and I would be OK if that one was on a separate station/tabletop, not on the sit/stand.

How easy is it to adjust the work surface up and down? I would try it yourself before making a decision. We installed several sit/stand desks at my previous employer and they weren't terribly convenient to adjust.

Its electric. Just push a button. Yes I will go in person to check out

I have an electric sit/stand desk at work. Go for it, you'll love it!

Localeater,

I have a sit stand desk that is customized. When I was looking into the desk, I referred to the following article from wirecutter which was really great. I ended up buying electronic adjustable legs and adding them to my desk. If I did not do that, the Ergo depot product would have been my choice. I have a dual monitor configuration with multiple laptops and switches and way too much stuff. My current desk is 28" x 84". The desk moves very smoothly and is quiet. I adjust my position 4 times a day (in a 10 hour work day). I would skip the Herman miller piece if it is not the right piece for you. Having a large desk surface is important to me also.

Good luck!

DH works from home and is a programmer. He has an Updesk with a motor and loves it. I think it's 72" long and is slightly curved in the center.

He has a metal stand that is clamped to the other side of thr desk which holds up two big monitors. He also usually has two big laptops on the desk and a couple of big notepads. He has had it for a couple of years and hates when he has to go into the office because it's a regular sit down desk.

This monitor stand is similar to what DH has https://sewelldirect.com/dual-lcd-monitor-mount-?stm_type=ppc&stm_source=adwords&product_id=SW-29681&campaignid=201733323&adgroupid=15064097043&creative=43430156643&gclid=CjwKEAjw1qHABRDU9qaXs4rtiS0SJADNzJis642hIcWhMdXTVLYbGZq_-pfZvyrR7pLJ4JIL6R1_GhoCZ2Pw_wcB
