Does anyone know where I can get a height adjustable desk?
I have a back problem that causes me to need to stand, sit, stand, etc a lot throughout the day, and need to find a desk I can raise and lower. I've only found ones for people who are disabled and those seem to be too big (so they can fit a wheelchair, which I don't need) and to be very expensive. I just need one wide enough for a laptop and whatever papers I'm working with. I'm in the London area, so somewhere near there or via the internet is preferable. Thank you!
Thanks for the quick answers. Stevie t, couldn't find any adjustable desks on that site. Chancer, what's a poofie? And rykker, I tried Ikea's only adjustable desk and it wouldn't hold my laptop steady. Thanks for the help, anyway!
Thanks for the info regarding the chairs. I won't go into details, but I don't need a chair, I need a desk that can be altered. No wall for the shelves, but a brilliant idea. Thanks, everyone.

Get a height-adjustable chair for when you want to sit.
Try using a counter top or breakfast bar in the kitchen for when you want to stand. If these are the wrong height then consider fixing a deep shelf to a wall at a convenient height. If you are short of space you could make the shelf so it folds down when not in use.

I have back problems too due to upper and lower back injuries. I have never had an adjustable desk. But, I do have an adjustable chair with arms, lumbar support. The chair was special measured to my height so the lumbar support would be in the perfect spot. And, I had a foot rest under my desk. Now, I'm sorry to say, I don't know where to order this fabulous chair. The office I worked for ordered it for my desk and had it ready for me the last time I was hospitalized with my back problems. They had gotten my measurements from the hospital therapist! Boy, was I surprised. I do know for a fact that they ordered it, so you could most likely find one in any office furniture catalog. Good luck.
