This simple if slightly ironing-board-looking desk is designed to allow you to adjust the height of the table from a sitting to standing desk just by cranking the handle. There has been lots of press about the advantages of changing your position throughout the day, this would be a good option to make that easy without having a desk that look like a medical instrument.

Interesting! My desk is counter height and on days I’m working at it for long periods, I find myself alternating between sitting on my stool and standing. (And of course walking to the kitchen for a snack…)
