Does anyone have the LIFT from iSketer ( http://iskelter.com/products/desks/lift-upgrade-desk-standin... )? It seems like a nice balance between a standing and sitting desk -- especially with a laptop plus external keyboard/mouse/monitor when standing. I generally prefer to use a laptop on a recliner with their SlateGo lapdesk which keeps the laptop at a comfortable angle without straining the neck or wrists.
I too will use a recliner at home sometimes, to rest the back. I use a Corbusier knockoff (something like this: http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0278/9057/products/black_le...), slid under a work desk, with the laptop and mouse on a board on my lap, and a monitor on the desk.
