This is a decidedly low-tech post, but I’m sure you’ve been hearing a lot about standing desks<\/strong> as well as the virtual death sentence sitting is for us humans.\u00a0 Who knew?\u00a0 Well, Mr. L has been concerned about how much sitting I do at the computer (he’s jealous of the attention it gets).\u00a0 I’ve been bothered by how much trouble my knees give me when I stand up after sitting for some period of time (usually twenty minutes or more). That prompted me to follow through on an order for a lap desk I’d had sitting in my Amazon cart for several months.\"standing<\/p>\n

This desk is very adjustable, so I could configure it to fit my needs. It’s $30 plus $12 shipping.<\/p>\n

When you’re going to stand for extended periods of time, you’ll want cushioning — popularly known as anti-fatigue matting.<\/p>\n

For now, I’m using a beat up inexpensive mat from Harbor Freight (around $16 on sale for four pieces) that I stole from the cats, who use it to sharpen their claws:\"mat\"<\/p>\n

I’ve placed one of these in my cart, but I’m also looking into one of these. The technology is a littler different between the two, but the first one is $34 and the second one is $106.<\/p>\n

This desk could be used on a table or any other flat surface.\u00a0 Standing desks are all the rage these days, and if you go shopping for one, you’ll quickly see you could spend a small fortune.\u00a0 But you don’t have to.\u00a0 For less than $50, you can have a very serviceable standing desk.\u00a0 I ordered mine the day before the Independence Day holiday, and it was in my mailbox on Monday morning.\u00a0 That’s fast.<\/p>\n
