Not to belittle your desk, or derail this thread by any means, but what does your diet look like? I know many people that swear by the standing desks, and have thought about one myself for over a year now. I don't have any issues with productivity, nor do I have any energy issues. I do attribute the majority of this to a few factors:
1) I don't have, nor will I ever have any children sucking the life out of me.
2) We eat super clean (Paleo) 70% of the time, pretty clean (no dairy, soy, gluten) 20%, whatever the fuck we want the last 10% of the time. I actually find that when I havev a cheat meal, I regret it.
3) I exercise an hour a day 6 days a week. Incorporating everything from interval training, light weight circuit training, stretching, and core work.
Couple years ago I was having some major back pain start to creep up on me too. I adjusted my desk and that helped a ton, but gettting a Teeter Hangup was an amazing investment as well. 5 minutes a day 3-4 days a week on that thing has done wonders.
