One things I love in Sweden is the office desks. All of the offices I seen have adjustable hight desks. With the push of a button the hydraulics spring into action and you can set the preferred height of your desk.

I have terrible posture when I sit, so I find it much more comfortable to work standing up most of the day.

I have been working on my thesis from home most days for the past couple of week. Unfortunately we haven’t made the same level of investment in our home work environment. After one week my back was in pain, so I took inspiration from the countless blog posts that have repurposed IKEA furnature to make a standing desks.

After some experimentation, I found the best height for me was a bench on the dining table. The bonus is I can use the candelabra if I wish to feel like a more classical scholar. I found I needed the cushion to stand on working barefoot.
