(I'll answer several above messages here.)

I'm a part-time stander; perhaps 25 hours per week. I also sit, recline, and every once in a while decadently lounge while reading super-important work email on my iPad. Still, I've been standing a lot for many months, so I can look back and observe:

* It takes a few weeks to feel right. I'm far past that, and I feel much less tired after standing most of the day, than sitting all day.

* Standing a lot is really not a big deal. Lots of people work on their feet all day. Every day. See the above comments about ancestors.

* It is probably possible to develop all manner of trouble by standing too still. I wouldn't know; I am essentially incapable of standing still. I shift around continuously as I work.

* It is indeed very helpful to have the monitor high enough to look straight at it; this has totally removed the incentive to slouch.
