It works great. I mentioned wanting a standing desk to my boss when I started a month ago, a couple of other people expressed interest, and he bought four of them, including one to use himself. It sits on the desk that's built into my cubicle, my laptop sits on the shelf, and the monitor sits on top. The boss had to send someone to IKEA to get another four.
We might need to get higher cubicle walls, though.
I've decided not to do it after all. The cat couldn't sit on my lap, and I love it when she does that.
