I got mine a couple of years back as I find that sitting down I hardly move, I just stare at the screen like a motionless zombie. Standing at a desk I pretty much dance about and find myself doing much more. My main issue was height/weight as I am 2metres tall and 110KG, I found most desks do not go high enough. https://www.flickr.com/photos/catcameron/albums/721576482809... The setup has slightly evolved since then and the cable management is much better. Anyway, a last year I finally became a father and in the past few months I have found that little arms are talented at pulling any cable in sight...being able to keep the desk up has 'baby-proofed' my working area. I think making sure you are not looking down when standing, even by a few degrees, is key to being comfortable, that and standing on something squishy like sneakers or a floor mat/carpet. At work I have one of these https://varidesk.co.nz/ it is surprisingly quick to use but I find myself sitting more at work.
