What product do you use? For good posture, I want the monitor(s) to be much higher than the surface the keyboard lies on, but most standing desks I've seen have just one surface.
If you're not picky about aesthetics, it's almost trivially easy to build a platform for the monitor to go on -- textbooks, sturdy boxes, locker shelves, even small side tables can be stacked atop a keyboard-height platform.
ETA: Obviously, this goes for improving the viewing angles of one's seated workstation too (though it seems like a side table might be a little much.)
I'm not at all picky about aesthetics, just curious about what people use in case I want to make a more expensive purchase in the future. My own setup is this, with which I'm reasonably happy (though I need to get a larger and slightly taller table/dresser/keyboard surface).
headdesk I could also just answer your question I suppose:
I briefly had access to a Fredrik desk from Ikea; it was the right height for me so I didn't examine closely but I'm fairly sure it was adjustable. (But it was only briefly. Hence my box experiments.)
