I've been considering getting something like that at home, because I've found I can walk at a steady pace outside for ages, and it would probably help me get a little bit of exercise as well, but I also don't have a standing desk and I feel bad about making noise when it's late since my flat has very thin walls :/

If you choose a manual or motorized standing desk with adjustable height (like the one I use), you can easily move the treadmill to the side when you're not walking and switch to working while seated.

I mean, you need to have the space to put the treadmill on the side, but other than that you'll have the flexibility to choose between walking and sitting as needed.

That might be an option tbh, I have been needing another desk for non-computer work, so I could just swap them over. Do you have any recommendations for a desk? Is this HN Comment sponsored by flexispot? :P

Just sharing my own experience :D

I have an "old" ikea model that is not sold anymore, but the equivalent would be something like this one: https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/rodulf-desk-sit-stand-gray-whit...

You can also buy the legs and use your own table (slightly cheaper) https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/rodulf-underframe-sit-stand-f-t...

Again, the advantage is the ability to adjust the height, so you can work either seated, standing or walking if you also have a treadmill.

Thanks, I'll probably look into getting that, since most of the rest of my flat is ikea
