For what it's worth, most generic budget cube work surfaces are essentially adjustable shelves. With a little effort, you can unscrew the surface, move the shelf brackets up a few notches, and screw the desk surface back on. I've done that at my work place. We're a little 'loose' on that sort of thing, so permission wasn't required. I just went and did it one evening. It was more about social acceptance than actual policy.

You get them at Facebook if you're a full-time employee — and possibly only after a few months or so.
I was an intern there so I didn't have one, but a colleague and my manager used standing desks, probably as per the advice of Facebook's ergo(nomics) team. Those desks could also be lowered to regular desks at the touch of a button.
