i voted moderately... not just for the winsted desk but moderately interested in standing desks in general... for me if i am sitting for long periods of time i feel like i become less effective in my work so i have to get up and do some quick exercises, it seems to help... i have seen offices that have treadmills in the break room for employees to walk on during different times of the day...

I have worked from standing desks for over 15 years--in multiple offices and from a home office. I don't do it for health benefits or due to back issues.
Spending a great deal of time on the phone with a wireless headset, I like to walk while I talk--even if it is just a few paces this way or that way--and be able to stop back to the standing desk and make a few notes or look things up during a call. Standing helps me be more conversational on the phone--as odd as that may sound.
In short, I feel more "engaged" when standing. In many ways, I could see it having a similar effect on surveillance operators.

There are Dispatch Console manufacturers that offer similar products with seemingly more features and options. I will not mention a name because I do not want to detract from Winsted and the good products that they offer. These other manufacturers cost significantly more, though.

Americon in the high end and lift the whole desk. They can custom form the entire console. They use a process that makes the edges resistant to damage....with a 5LB hammer.

We looked at their desks but they were too costly for us. We ended up going with VersaTables sit to stand electric tables... 2 Two 30"x72" tables each with quad-monitor mounts and dual CPU holders ran about $3000. Still in the box but looking forward to setting them up.

The trend I see in business is moving to sit/stand. I am part of a project team for a Fortune 200 size company and they are moving completely to S/S including in their security monitoring location. One study that I've seen referenced several times is:

This has been an interesting discussion, and now I feel like I need a standing desk.
