This looks to be a great solution! How hard is it to transform from sitting to standing and vice versa?

Takes less than 10 seconds. Just squeeze handles at sides and lift or lower. It's spring-assisted.

I know that SimplifiedBuilding.com Does offer Adjustable desks. It looks like Donnie just chose not to go for that option.

Not only that, but many of these setups trade an ergonomic chair for a hard floor. I'm surprised that more consideration does not go into floor mats as seen in other jobs requiring long periods of standing.

If anyone's looking for a recommendation, I've found industrial antifatigue mats (found in machine shops and the like, mcmaster-carr sells some as would most industrial suppliers) surprisingly comfortable for standing on all day.

Indeed. If they're made to be comfortable for a heavyset man holding powertools wearing steel-toed boots, it's definitely going to feel good in comfortable clothes and shoes! :-)
