Ikea Standing Desks
While I was at Onoko I did a standing desk for a while. While it was really good, I found doing it 100% gave be cramps in my legs. Now that I work at home a smaller desk (in additional to sit down desk) that would take up less room and also allow me to move it around the house or even to the garden to work! I had some GERTON legs so I got a £1 piece of wood from the bargain bin and built my own. There are lots of fancy options at Ikea Hackers, but here are the other ideas I looked at:
 |
At a height of 105cm the BILSTA Bar table would make a perfect standing desk. Its also available as just the base so you can add your own top from a piece of wood the bargain bin or any of: TROFAST / INREDA / ALGOT / KOMPLEMENT / BILLY / BILLY / FJÄLKINGE / IVAR / EKBY LAIVA or even the top off a LACK coffee table |
 |
Another bar table that works is BJÖRKUDDEN. Its quite deep so do can fit too people with laptops facing each other. |
 |
Get the GERTON legs extendable up to 107cm: http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/60261626/ Get any of the compatible desks, or a piece of wood from the bargain bin or one of the tops mentioned above. There are also the BILLSTA desk legs, but they’re more expensive and less flexible in terms of tops. |
 |
Use one of the wall mounted leaf desks: |
 |
Select an item from the various wall shelves available. If you want something bigger, buy the sturdiest brackets and again get a piece of wood from the bargain bin or one of the tops mentioned above. |
I hope that’s helpful. Sorry the links are to the UK store if you live somewhere else. I’m still wondering if I should eventually get a Cycle Desk!
