MrsWeasley Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Do any of you use standing desks with your kids? Especially if you have quite a height spread, I'd love some affordable ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
73349 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 DS sits at the table, but I have my computer in a built-in bookcase so I can stand to use it. Do you already have shelves at various heights? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsWeasley Posted October 21, 2015 Author Share Posted October 21, 2015 We do, but I can't visualize how to make shelves work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
73349 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 You will generally have to remove a shelf (or even two) and use the bottom one as the desk surface. You may also need to plan for lighting for non-computer work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shernandez Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Hmmm...may need to go to pinterest for some images. Standing desks might be awesome for dd. She is the kid that is constantly running laps around the house... You ladies always have great ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathnerd Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 They sell adjustable height standing desks - http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S19022530/ You can make a cheaper non-mechanical one from a buthcherblock island countertop with manually adjustable legs attached. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melmichigan Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 The ones with the bars that the kids can swing with their feet looked pretty cool in the most recent article I've seen. I'll have to try and find out more about them.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
