I sit half-standing at a really tall desk on a stool I made out of a big sheave, a 3" steel pipe, and a piece of rough-cut 3/8" plate. so I get to stand up and work and sit down and work without a big fuss. it tilts forward and back just because of the way the casters sit under the sheave. it sounds really uncomfortable, but anything else makes me feel all cramped up.

Any chance you've got pictures? It sounds like a few of us here are happier without the padding, and I've been passively looking out for a sit/stand solution for my in-office days.
just left, but I'll take one when I get in tomorrow - so check back. padding aside i think having a tall work surface and a stool is really alot more natural and convenient than a desk with motorized screws.
