Standing arrangements

Over twelve years ago, I made a shitty standing desk at work. Based on a template that delightfully, is still hanging around on the internet, the Standesk 2200 was very tiring. I would queue up anything I could possibly find the justification to read on my iPad, and then sit down to get my energy back for another big bout of standing and working.

Since that day, I had intermittent access to standing desks at Deloitte, if I could get in early enough to snag one. But finally, I’ve got one at home for the first time, because twelve years is about average for my project lead-time.

My setup is now:

  • A FlexiSpot E7 Pro. Yes, I’m a professional. Review: seems good, goes up and down when asked. However, if you attach the cable management without thinking about how your monitor arms attach... you may have to re-do everything. Hypothetically.
  • A SilverStone ARM25. Ripped off; it actually only has two arms. I couldn’t find any reviews of this online, so once I’ve had them for a while, I’ll write one.
  • A UGREEN dual slot laptop stand, to handle the work and home laptops. It... does what it says on the tin. It's a bit smaller and less snug than some, so I haven't been able to get the laptops to stand up perfectly straight. This annoys me, just slightly.
