The whole setup is IKEA, and ran us about $400 for everything.
2x Expedit shelving units
3 packages Capita Legs
4 packages Capita Brackets
2 Vika Amon 60" tabletops
1 Antifoni work lamp
1 Dioder multi-color LED lighting set (currently set to purple)
1 Franklin stool.
All of it is awesome! But I especially approve of the tapestry and the Tardis/Delorian art. I am envious of your beautiful setup.
Looks great except for the choice of seating lol.
They're standing desks, so the seating is "backup", really.
I've had my setup for 13 months, and I'm feeling a whole lot better than I used to.
I used to come home from work, plop my ass in a chair and game for 5-6 hours.
I still game a lot (4-5 hours some nights), but probably 70% of that is done standing now…
Call it an extra 15 hours a week standing vs. sitting.
Yep, I have played Starcraft more than a few hours standing. Helps to do some squats/stretches every little while. Standing 100% can be quite bad for you too.
That's what our setup looks like cept our right comp is on a L desk
Beautiful! Now it won't look like Audrey's sitting on the floor every time you guys look over at each other 😛
You're kidding, right?
I'm actually 9 feet tall.
The last time I met someone in person that I first met online, they greatly exceeded my expectations in the height department. So… I wouldn't be surprised if that's true.
If you don't mind me asking, how much was the standing desk? I've been on the fence for getting one.
For one, with a height of 42".

HOWEVER:
If you already have a good sized desk and/or table, and you want to give it a try, I recommend the LACK Table Route
http://iamnotaprogrammer.com/Ikea-Standing-desk-for-22-dollars.html
I have two of them at work that I just set on my regular desk. I set the monitors on them, and I took out the "middle front" legs (so each table has three legs. I have a wireless mouse and keyboard that I can set either on, or under, the tables and stand or sit as needed. When you lean on the tables, they press together tighter, and the missing legs aren't really a factor, unless you're pressing REALLY hard.
Wow, thanks for the detail!
looks great!
Thanks!
