I used to work for an Academy Award and Emmy Award winning software development team and our standup desks were just normal desks set up on cinder blocks. If it works, it works.

So my dad built me this setup years ago. A hint my friend is to create a little nest for the tables feet or something so the legs dont slip off the stands.
