Comment on The $40 Standup Deskparent

Comments

The keyboard is ~6 inches above my waistline, which feels perfect to me. The screens are the same distance from my head whether I'm standing or sitting.

I keep a barstool by the desk for any periods when I am tired, although interestingly enough, I find that I sit when I'm learning, and stand when I'm producing (I'm a web dev). So exhaustion isn't the primary dictator of whether I'm standing or sitting.

Is it ideal to be bending down (ever so slightly) to look at your monitor from an ergonomics point of view?

Not sure honestly. I can't imagine looking up or down for long periods of time is good.
