I think the most ideal would be a desk which can be moved up or down via a mechanical handle bar. I have seen them in practice. That way if you get too tired you can lower it and sit.
I agree. Fewer moving parts and nothing to replace. Sounds like good engineering to me. I have looked around a lot at various options and nobody is really making what I want: a large, simple, workbench-like standing desk with lever hand adjustment (no electrical motors or power needed) with an additional fine adjustment so you can elevate the surface of the desk precisely.
