      I have one at the head office. I love how it’s adjustable, so I can stand up when I’ve been sitting for too long.

      Plus when I’m doing something that involves more than just keyboard and mouse (sych as plugging electronics and hardware around me) it’s very convenient to be already standing.

      Yes they are awesome; The kind that adjusts for sitting or stnading.

      We had them at a company I worked at. You sit for a while ( like and hour or two) and then feel a bit uncomfortable so pull the level and slide to standing mode. Work an hour standing, then sit. It really helps you feel less fatigue, and is better for circulation and digestion.

      it depends on the type of person, I feel like. My company has offered those adjustable desks since before COVID. If you walk through our office you’ll always see at least a few raised up. Most people prefer sitting down, but you’ll see enough people getting use out of these that they definitely have some benefit.

      When I worked at Fred Hutch I knew a guy who used his standup desk while walking on his treadmill. [I also knew a guy who sat on a big ball.]

      You can. Standing for longer periods is very bad for your veins. Get a walking pad and also sit for at least the same time you stand.
