Investing in one of the best standing desks was long overdue for me. Not only am I an editor who spends all day at a computer, but I also have a form of immuno-arthritis which affects, among other areas, my lower back. Sitting at a traditional desk for over 6 hours a day for work, plus gaming on the weekends, was doing my back no favors whatsoever, and my doctor advised sorting out a standing arrangement post-haste.
What finally kicked me into gear, however, weren’t long term issues, but the acute pain from two slipped lumbar discs. One weekend, the pain became so bad that I decided I couldn’t face work on Monday unless I was able to stand up. And so it was that I rushed a mile down the road to my local IKEA to see and buy whatever they had on offer.
