The facilities team at our office would previously build a C-shaped box out of MDF or plywood to sit a regular, fixed-height desk on top of.
To be fair they did a nice job, they were sturdy and would have recesses for the desk’s legs to sit in to prevent sideways movement. But the problem then became “what about when those people wanted to sit”, so tall office chairs - that didn’t match the rest of the chairs in the office - had to be bought, undoubtedly at considerable expense.
The new, all-standing-desks use-it-if-you-want-or-don’t-it-doesn’t-matter-to-us regime seems to just avoid a lot of unnecessary shifting of furniture.
