What desk do you use?
A bit late to respond, but.... I have a custom standing desk that whoever outfitted our corporate office made for me (and others in our office who stand). There's no brand markings anywhere, it's just a generic white desk with buttons on the side that raise and lower it several feet.
Before this desk I used some cardboard boxes on top of a regular sitting desk.
