I've always sat but now I'm thinking about trying to find a desk I can stand at....
I'm hesitant to change my entire area though if 'm not going to like it! eek! I suppose I could always get a high stool to balance it out if I need to sit too..... | |

I even prefer to stand to prep food, cut, etc.

I sit down and scrap. I tend to get up a lot and leave my project and come back and start again though. It's like I can't sit still lol | |

stander. An island (a portable kitchen island) is great to stand at, love mine. I have a cabinet underneath, can add baskets to the side, so works very well. | |

I like to stand. I had my husband's friend build me a high table perfect for standing at. I am going to buy a stool with a back on it for occasions when I may want to sit.
When I go to my friend's 4 day crop weekends we all sit. It's ok but I like the freedom to move around. | |

I sit while actually putting pages together, but I get up a lot otherwise. It's hard for me to sit still for a long time, so I get up every half hour or so. Then, I'll come back to my work. Occasionally, I will stand, but it's usually only if in stamping. | |

Oh, I stand. My awesome hubby built me a table out of two unfinished cabinets and some plywood. I can stand and create comfortably. But I also have a chair that is taller so I can sit too if I feel like it. But standing is great! | |

For most of the process I sit. However, I do stand when I need to get a border on really straight or something similar that needs fine tuning! | |

I'm a shorty so often I kneel on the chair. I get tired standing and while ideally I'd sit but I need to see my work area from above to get things straight...and ideally my feet would touch the floor so I can drag the wheelie chair to get various supplies! | |

I'm always up for this and that so I stand. I even moved my chair to the other side of the desk.
Today I was sitting because of back pain and I fell out of the chair reaching for something!  | |

Both. Desk height by my computer for sitting, bar height at family dining table for standing. It depends on what is happening at the moment (reading, internetting, spraying, sticking, cricut-cutting, printing, etc). | |

I've always stood to scrapbook.
I have a counter height table, in the middle of my scrapbook room. I love to walk up to it from all sides & work on projects. | |

A few years ago, my DH gave me a counter height table for my birthday. I LOVE it! I still have a computer desk I can sit at, but do most of my scrapping at my big table. Much better for my back to stand and move around as needed. I rarely scrap for hours at a time, though. I had a stool because I thought I'd like to be able to sit, but it just got in my way. | |

A bit of both. I have a stool for when I get tired of standing. Usually I have to be all over the place for materials, so standing is my most natural state. | |
