How do you prefer to work, standing or sitting?

So I recently got an early Christmas gift in the form of a convertible standing desk. Got a great deal on it and brought it to my office. Once I got my desk configured to handle the standing desk, I started to use the desk and I love it.

I know these things are one becoming one of the "must haves" for a lot of office people so I figured we could have some fun this Friday with a simple poll.

So which do you prefer?

I had an antique railroad station ticketing desk that I used for a standing desk. Loved it...

I’m not a desk guy but if I were sitting seems more comfortable

I have a Varidesk standing desk and have for over a year. I have the dual monitor set up that hooks to the back of the unit so you get maximum work surface. I stand about 11-12 hours a day when I am in the office (I travel a lot). If that image is your work area you will want the laptop off of the surface and a monitor mount.

as a dispatcher, I have some pretty high-stress days. on those days, I like to be able to stand and work. helps to burn off that added stress

It would be nice to have the option to switch between the two. I've spent seven hours at a time standing while working at computer. I don't mind the standing, it just takes some getting use to. I've also spent hours sitting behind a desk. When I'm sitting while working I find that I frequently need to get up and walk around. I wouldn't mind being able to switch to a standing desk.

Since I work in Retail, not a whole lot of sitting there...I tend to keep moving, no matter what.
