I haven't bought one yet, but my buddy swears by his. They seem to be the most cost-effective one out there. Thanks for posting your temporary setup -- I did something similar (you validated me :) ) when I was trying to see how I would like standing part of the day. (Love it!)

That desk is very nice in that it can transition from standing to sitting desk very easily. The price is a bit steep, but if you can afford it, I say go for it. As for the chair, the studies and thoughts on these seem to vary quite a bit. Ideally, if you could stay completely upright at all times, it may help, but it would require a little getting used to. The critics say backless chairs and exercise balls promote slouching if the back tires after an extended period, placing more strain on the vertebrae. Thanks JT, no problem!
