      I have wondered too about the transitional desk. Though I can't stand for extended periods due to nerve damage and now it would seem a bad ankle.

      I've used them and I love them. I REALLY want a walking desk, with a treadmill. But feel like I'd fall over.

      NOPE, could not walk and type, standing was enough of an adjustment.

      I wonder if you can walk while reading, then easily stand still while typing. That would solve it.

      I don't think I can walk and read.... I have never tried.

        So you bought a white wood desk and then sawed the legs off of that table to create this? Do you have pictures of the end result? I can't stand all day or sit all day. I feel like a transitional desk would work wonders.

        I'm 6 foot tall so I didn't have to cut the legs at all. Here is a picture of my desk. I move between the table and the regular desk. 0_1482940247881_IMG_0478.JPG

            I have debated on one of those but I already have really expensive desks so I don't want to replace anything.

              I got it because they were needing to buy a desk when they hired me on.

                When I worked as an intern for the Fed, one of the ladies had one. It took a lot of red tape for her to get it in there and a lot more red tape for her to get it out when she left for DC.

                If you're in a cube farm, it can get kind of annoying to others. Especially to helpdesk people who are on the phone with other users. If you have a big enough office, then I wouldn't see a problem with it.

                  If you have people on the phone in cubes, you've already failed.

                              I could get away with JB's desk, but I'd require a back on my chair, a foot rest on the chair, and a foot rail under the desk.. yep I'm demanding!

                                I'm probably going to add one of these to the desk I built for my office:
                                http://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=15722
                                $399 for a motorized stand that you put your desktop on.

                                  That's pretty slick! And a great price. Probably pretty easy to put into a cube situation as well. Managing cables is the concern.
