Ergonomic tips from over-full-time programmer

Currently I have two computer workstations – one at my standing desk, and one at a table for sitting. This is not ideal, but works for now since I have plenty of space. Many people use adjustable desks that have a motor in them. One other option that I saw at one of my customer’s office is to have fixed standing desk but have a stool height chair to sit in. Steelcase makes a Leap stool:

So wondering if that would work to sit at a standing desk …

Good point about monitor wobble – most adjustable desks probably have some of that unless you get something really heavy and expensive. But, a Leap Stool is not cheap either. My standing desk (a bit of mess right now) quite solid having a top of laminated 2x4’s on a heavy base.

Stools that allow some motion is also an interesting idea:
