Do you use it or not?

Currently 3 screens, looking at 4.

Fwiw, not porn related.

Previous office was two 30+ inch Dell monitors.

Current office is two small shitty ones.

My gun room/office in the new house is going to have wallmounts everywhere.

I just got an adjustable desk and love it. It would be hard to go back to only having the option of sitting. Also, if you’re trying to show someone else something that you have pulled up on your screen, it’s much easier/better if the desk is elevated and you’re both standing. There’re not above you, leaning over to see what you’re trying to show them. Elevate it if you’re showing a guy. Keep it lowered if it’s the office chick.

Our grade/middle school's superintendent takes this idea to the extreme. Not only does he have a standing desk but its over a freaking treadmill. When I was working in Florida nobody had them but when we were flown out to Silicon Valley to prevent any disruption (during the crazy 2004 hurricane season) half the offices had them. If you've got the means I'd go for adjustable. If you want to be on your feet all day go work in a warehouse... that's how I saw it.

Have an Ergotron roughly fitted like this (use my laptop in the middle as the third screen). Been using it for over three years. Absolutely love it.

Same one I have and I have 2 30-inch monitors on it. Made the mistake one day if not paying attention and as I was lifting it up the monitors fell off. Luckily they didn’t break.

It’s been about 3 months since I’ve sat down at work, I’m always standing. I tried to sit down a few days ago and it feels weird to sit down at my desk now.

I sprung for two Dell adjustable arms so I have never had anything like that happen. But I have crushed items when I lowered the desk on them

To avoid the sedentary lifestyle of office work. Helped me tremendously.

Do you just have these attached to the adjustable desk? If so, does it not put too much weight on the back of it where they are attached?

Works like a charm. No issues whatsoever.

I had an adjustable desk for about 3-4 years. Got sick of it.

I like these and was think about trying to find one on ebay. Have you had any issues and do you use multiple monitors? Any feedback would be appreciated.

Bought a Varidesk two years ago. Game changer for me. Love being able to stand during the day. Has
Made a huge difference for my back and other health aspects.
Not sure if “sitting is the new smoking”, but I feel incredibly better not sitting all day long and having the option to stand whenever I feel like it.

I have one on my desk. Holds my second monitor and has a spot for my laptop. I love it. I try to stand and work for at least 10-15 minutes every hour. Ha shelled my back tremendously.

Had a Varidesk and moved to a Flexispot corner desk. I have the dual screen mounts for my monitors. Varidesk left no room for note pads, paperwork, etc. Flexispot with mounts leaves all desk surface open for anything I need. Motorized with 3 separate position height memory. Wouldn’t go to another desk. This one is perfect
