If you can make it past the first 1-3 days, you'll love it, but I almost gave up at first because your body is going to be screaming, "SIT DOWN!" Just stick it out through that first hump, and your body will adjust and thank you later! You can test it out any number of ways, like using something as simple as cardboard boxes as show in the video here: http://www.fitbuff.com/i-can-stand-my-stand-up-desk/ If you do decide to take the plunge (or the stance), I'll be interested to hear your thoughts.

But after the initial adjustment, I actually prefer standing to sitting down now. It was well worth it in my opinion, and I'm not looking back (or back down). As for the knee safety, it's important not to lock your knees (this rule applies any time you're standing).

There's no way I'd convert to a standing desk. Sounds like knee problems to me. I love sitting on my rear end all day @ work. There's no way I'd convert to a standing desk.
