Take a Stand For Better Ergonomics

"For the past few months I have had incredible back pain that has led to many trips to the chiropractor. Even after adjustments the pain would return by the end of the next day as I slowly hunched closer to my computer. The pain lessened when I stood and worked at a countertop so I decided to create a standup desk with materials we had lying around the office."
We had a little debate going in the Thoughts Media back offices with regards to how prevalent standing at ones desk is. Personally, I've got a bar-height counter at work that I'll periodically stand at to work. Standing for a bit does wonders for the back as well as for my alertness. So, lets hear from the rest of you. Any other fans of the stand-up desk?
