More low cost sit stand options

 Reception areas pose some difficulties for a  sit stand workstation.  At this location the monitor pedestal has an adjustable height.  It ends up being a bit low while standing but does allow the receptionist to see over the monitor to the individuals visiting the office.

A wireless keyboard and mouse could be  added to reduce the transition time from sitting to standing.

Standard reception set up

Standing option with cardboard box at standing elbow height.  - box could be 6 inches longer.

The next two workstations are options for private offices.  The second workstation has a better design for both the monitor height and the mouse. 

#3: This setup has good keyboard placement.  The mouse and monitor are too low.
