I have one of those corner desks at work (two wings with a curved corner section joining them. I bought a $14 shoe shelf from Target (closetmaid brand) that is long enough to "bridge the corner and is also long enough to accomidate both a keyboard and a mouse pad. THe monitor sits on a second shelf identical to the first. Works great.

At the workplace where I'm currently working as a volunteer,we made 2 wooden boxes to up my desk,once I measured it and how much it should go up.

Standing desks have dropped down in price. You can get one for about 700 bucks that goes from standing to sitting height via electric motor. The geek desk I believe its called. There are also ones that attach at the edge of the table that you can manually adjust. They are like 400. I have a dual screen setup, with keyboard mouse and wacom board. I currently just use my drafting table and a chair. I'm looking to upgrade.

We've made a treadmill desk for home use. Not counting the treadmill which I already owned, this cost under $7 - all materials from Home Depot. Bought a vinyl covered wire shoe shelf (this is important because it had a lip that other shelves might not) that we trimmed to size with hacksaw, lashed to top of treadmill with zipties, with some foam providing padding/stability. I'm about 5'6" and this is at a good height for me. Might be off for someone much shorter/taller. I've had a standing desk for 3+ years and this is a nice additional option.

I use two monitors for work (open laptop + spare), I work mostly from home, so I ended up just stacking crap until everything was high enough to use.

I took a cheap folding table, and put a very short endtable on top. I measured the distance of my elbow to the floor and it was 42", which coincidentally was the height that the endtable, on top of the folding table. Another, totally mismatched endtable with drawers was added to give me storage, and provide my 2nd monitor a boost (using some very old MCSE 2000 training books as a monitor stand). In a perfect world I'd have enough room to use the mouse beside the keyboard, but as I rarely use the NUMPAD I just use the mouse in front of the keyboard, which is at a very comfortable distance away from me and gives my wrists a place to rest when typing... and I'm a command-line commando, so I type considerably more than I "mouse".

I am now looking towards improving this design by using a sturdier table underneath (or an old vanity/chest of drawers) and using TWO matching bedside tables with a tabletop on top, or between them supported by wall-shelving mounts.

I had two of them - started approx 3 years ago with Newton 270 (now is discontinued and is sold at approx USD 250).

Recently changed it to Decart Ergo (price is USD 500).
