I use Varidesk. Its a ~35 pound adjustable platform you place on top of a normal desk. There are handles on the side so you can easily change the height to a few settings.
Specifically, I got the Varidesk Pro Plus 36: http://www.amazon.com/VARIDESK-Plus-Height-Adjustable-Standi...
Had to watch for a few things: is the keyboard platform the same height as their monitor (ideally, no). Would monitor/keyboard/mice cables get crushed if you keep the desk down? Can it support two 24"+ monitors?
It's incredibly durable (it'd won't tip over short of putting your entire weight on it in the elevated position). Use it for 2-3 hours/day (with a compression mat I got from costco for $20).
There are a couple models, and none are that cheap ($300-$400), but I've had back pain and poor posture all my life so I figured I'd invest what is typically 1 month of my living expenses into this.
