I think the point with standing desks is really you just want one that can convert to either be a standing or a sitting desk. And you switch it up from time to time.
It’s odd the people that advocate for standing only all day. Standing in one spot all day is straight up painful unless you’ve got a nice standing mat. Even then it can suck. Walking all day is different and won’t hurt as much. Long periods of immobility in any position aren’t exactly great for you, whether you’re sitting or standing. Not having the option to sit is also terrible.
A combo of standing and sitting is best, not one or the other.
A chair. Standing desks are good and all, but you won’t want to stand every single day.
