Coworking with Standing Desks Across the US
Standing desks are the amenity you notice only when they are missing, usually around hour four of a sitting marathon. LANS lists 12 spaces nationwide with standing desks, spread across 12 cities, and every one of them takes a same-day day pass at $14. Some are convertible desks in an open floor. Some are auto-adjustable. At least one tops out low enough that tall folks improvise. Here is what each space actually has, so you can pick the one that fits your height and your day.

How standing desks differ across these spaces
The setups are not interchangeable. Continental Gin Building has Vari auto standing desks, so you adjust with a button. Fellow has convertible standing desks in a large open floor. Temescal Works confirms standing desk options for day pass workers, and LionShare has them in at least some pods, which matters if you want to stand inside a soundproofed room rather than on an open floor. Apt CoWork at Cottonwood Ridgeview pairs standing desks with well-spaced desks. Firmspace Atlanta puts them in private offices. The one caveat to plan around is Apt CoWork Sugarmont, where desks top out around a 5 foot 6 equivalent height and taller users often stack items underneath. If you are tall, that is the one to think twice about.
Top cities for standing desk coworking
The 12 spaces with standing desks sit in 12 different cities, one each. Plano, Salt Lake City, Dallas, Spokane and Atlanta all have a single option, as do Burlington, Jacksonville and Oakland. Missoula, Ventura, Evansville and Quincy round out the list. That spread means you are rarely choosing between two standing desk spaces in the same city, you are choosing whether the one nearby fits your day. In Oakland, Temescal Works has standing desk options for day pass workers and closes at 18:00. In Dallas, Continental Gin Building closes at 17:00. In Spokane, Fellow opens earliest at 08:00 and throws in a free private room hour with drop-in passes.
Weekend and late-day standing desk options
Most standing desk spaces here run Monday to Friday only. Temescal Works, LionShare, Hula, Continental Gin Building, Fellow and Firmspace Atlanta all close on weekends. Two do not: Apt CoWork at Cottonwood Ridgeview is open all seven days from 08:00 to 19:00, and Apt CoWork Sugarmont is open every day from 09:00 to 19:00. Those two also run latest, which helps if you want to stand through an evening sprint. On weekdays, Fellow opens at 08:00, Firmspace Atlanta opens at 08:00, and Hula, LionShare, Continental Gin Building and Temescal Works open at 09:00. Every space listed here is a $14 day pass.
