Some background: I had chronic lower back pain that led me to investigate standing desks. I set this up about a year ago and have been a believer ever since. Standing while gaming took some getting used to, but I love it now and feel weird sitting at other peoples computers. Also yes, I like me some Star Trek. And yeah, I'm no carpenter, I had to use cardboard to level the legs :(
I like it! I'd like to do something similar, but I don't think I could go full standing desk all the time...
