I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on a geekdesk v3.  Anyone have any experience with this desk?

I have the v2 small frame and it's very nice. I went frame only and bought a solid maple butchers block counter top for my desk top. My total end cost was cheaper as a result, and the surface is better than the ones they ship. This is an improvement over a ghettofied keyboard stand + wood + blah setup that was not adjustable at all. I will never not have a Sit/Stand desk if I can help it.

I raise and lower the desk about 2-3 times a day, and have been doing so for maybe 7 months now with no problems (not only problem free, but joy-full)

To be completely functional, I think you need a monitor arm and keyboard tray. My setup has the ergotron with 27" apple display and humanscale 4G (holding my Kinesis / Filco TKL, and the Evoluent / Slimblade Trackball). I do about 50/50 sit stand  (for a  variety of reasons, i'm willing to discuss, but will leave this reply short and sweet!).

I'm "tall-ish" just over 6'3", and can achieve ideal conditions with this setup. The desk and components easily adjust for my 5'4" wife as well.

lol my ikea mikael (not sit stand) is starting to flex and crack and will break completely if i continue to lean on it lol

so...... i'm thinking of getting a Geek Desk, I work mostly from home unless i'm traveling to company offices, i sit like 12+ hours a day usually 6 days a week if you count also video games and other non-work stuff is done at the same desk. I think standing part of my work day would benefit me.
