Sit/Stand Desk

Standing desks have become quite popular lately. But if you’re like me, I want to sit down at them sometimes, too. That’s why this wall-mounted design will give you both options. Its upper removable desk panel slides into four dadoes so you can choose the standing height that suits you best — at 44" or three optional positions down from there. A lower desk panel, situated at the more typical 30" seated height, folds up for use or down where it’s out of the way. Once installed, this desk only projects about 20" out from the wall, so it doesn’t take up a huge amount of floor space, either.
