Standing Workstation

So, I have been studying up on standing workstations and have come to the conclusion that they would benefit me.  Why?  Here are a few reasons:

1.  Better caloric burn throughout the day since I am on my feet and moving.
2.  Improved posture and less back pain.
3.  Improved work flow due to ease of movement.  Before, my chair was driving me nuts due to the space confinements of my desk, especially when having to reach over to the printer or for a catalog.
4.  I feel more confident on my feet.  Sounds crazy, but it is true.  I stand tall and look people in they eye.  This even has the same effect while talking on the telephone.  Try it!

Here is an interesting set of op pieces regarding standing at work and a quick guide to calories burned sitting vs. standing.

Notice the roll around stand for the netbook we use for inventory.  Very handy!

My desk is already fairly tall, so I simply flipped some plastic storage bins over to act as monitor stands.

The rubber mat does help with absorbing shock from the concrete floor.
