Hey James here. I’ve popped into my local furniture store here to get some wheels because I’m going through the wheels on my chair, apparently because I’m using carpet and I need to get one of those little protective mats, so that’s my first tip. Second thing, I was delighted to find this standup desk in the store here.
This little tab actually allows you to raise in all the desk, so instead of sitting down all day, you can stand and apparently, it should be about button belly high. And if you’re just getting used to it, it’s really tiring so you just lower it again and you can actually just be sitting down. So I’m buying this desk today because it allows me to be more productive with my work, I’ve lost weight and you get to live longer.
Cool standup desk feature
Store Details
Now the store that I’m at is called Kellys Office Furniture Sydney and I deal with my mate, David , the phone number here is +612 9982 1077. Ask for David, he’s got the standup desk. Actually looking around the store, I can see they got a whole bunch.
The last time I was here, they weren’t really big in Australia so, get yourself a standup desk and post your comment right near this video and tell me how it goes.

June 20, 2013 at 9:52 amBest thing ever bought. Got a timber one from ikea that sits just at belly button height, haven’t really used my sit down desk or comfy chair since.
Coffee shop or stand up desk for me now.
Find it really encourages my one things, who else can do this and my working in sprints – as no one wants to be standing for 8 hours :)

June 20, 2013 at 9:59 amJames I’ve been looking around for ages for a decent stand-up desk and was just about to improvise with some Ikea bits and pieces, does your man supply to Brisbane? I asked my local office furniture guy and he just shrugged his shoulders.

June 20, 2013 at 10:15 amJames…. you were shopping and I was missing your videos. You were on FWF4 I guess … very busy with lots of people.
I hope to see more videos shortly.
I need to find standup desk in London, UK.

July 23, 2013 at 8:16 amHey James, I converted my current desk my adding an IKEA coffee table on top. Best $30 bucks spent! Now when I’m playing music I’m breaking out into dance… There’s got to be some serious health benefits in that!
Next step will be to get one of these adjustable ones! What’s your ratio of work time spent sitting vs standing?
James Schramko says
August 17, 2013 at 1:46 am90% standing

August 16, 2013 at 4:13 pmThis is great… I was trying to find a simple way to go back and forth between sitting and standing. I’ll have to search for one in the states…
