That looks pretty cool, I also built my own adjustable stand-up/sit-down desk, albeit a more minimalist version.

I'll have to draw out the plans like you did before I go touting the benefits of it, but I had quite a fun time designing and building it, as it seems you did.

The basic idea of mine:

The difference between a comfortable standing-desk height and sitting-desk height for me was 15 inches, so the desk surface is 15 inches deep, and can either fold up-and-out to be "Stand-up mode" or down-and-out to be "sit-down mode".

That sounds excellent. I spent a long time thinking about techniques for expedient adjustment, and ended up deciding that I didn't trust my engineering skills (or lack thereof) enough to warrant the additional cost.

I'm excited to see some more about your build, hope you can post details soon.
