For one thing, of course I would add a slot and back drawer, like my current desk ;) And I'm much more fond of wood than steel.

I'm guessing the sloping common in old standing desks [1] is a good idea. Legroom requirements are very different too and that would be interesting, I would probably continue the back drawer all the way to the front... keeping it open of course (I don't like lids or movable parts).

I also think some sort of (metal?) foot bar would be a good idea. Perhaps even have two foot bars? One for resting a leg when you're standing, one higher and further back for when you're sitting on a high stool, as if to simulate a higher floor?

The main perplexity I've been wrestling with is how to have it be both standing and sitting without moving parts. Total pipe dream... or maybe that second rest bar is part of the answer?

It also seems like displays need to be somewhat higher than on a sitting desk. But it's hard to have several levels and still keep it elegant...

Anyway, I'm getting excited already! Perhaps I'll sell this desk and make another one before the end of the year. :)
