My employer kindly got hold of one of these for me.
As it slides up and down with minimal fuss, I can alternate between sitting and standing whenever I want a change.
The downside is that the keyboard tray only supports 1.4kg - more than enough for most users, but it means the heavier keyboards in my collection just aren't suitable. The tray is a little on the narrow side too, compact and tenkeyless keyboards really come into their own on one of these.
I've splashed out on an anti-fatique mat too. Well worth the money.
Anyone else here that stands up at work?

The stand isn't cheap, but cheaper than a monitor arm and a keyboard tray with less travel.
To be honest, I love using the thing, after a few days it becomes natural and you don't notice if you are sitting or standing for most of the time. When you do notice - it's time to swap.
The big problem is that it really just steals your desk. Your desk just becomes some large shelf at the wrong height and a little bit of a stretch away. The desks in their images really aren't all that suitable for the device. I think I might be better off if I mount it on a shelf unit to the side instead...

Looks more ergonomic then my work setup.
