There's actually a current model at Ikea that works awesomely as a stand up desk: The Fredrik. http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/00115992

I own one and enjoy it greatly.

Totally agree. This desk is the one I'm currently using and couldn't ask for more.

I'm exactly 6ft and this it works great for me in this configuration: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/77657/Photo%20Apr%2013%2C%2011%2037%...

I got the Vika Amon <http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S79831622>; with Vika Kaj adjustable legs. <http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/60105301>;

Turns out 34" is too low -- I'm 6", and it seems 41" would be about right -- so I'm using books to raise my monitor, keyboard, and mouse. A lot of books in the case of the monitor.

I have these at work and home. They work well, but I wish they were built a little more solidly.

What can you say, though? Ikea.
