I recently purchased the [Ikea Sit and Stand desk][1]. It has been the solution I was looking for for a long time. You may want to give that one a shot. I got the electric one, which runs just under $500, but they also have a manual (with a lever), that pretty much does the same thing. I highly encourage anyone wanting to have the sitting and standing options on the same desk to give this desk a shot. They gave me (not sure if this is standard) a 90 day refund no questions asked guarantee, so it is worth a shot. [1]: http://iamnotaprogrammer.com/Ikeas-own-standing-desk.html
