I don’t get how this is better than a standing desk. People will make the same positions as they are here naturally when using a standing desk, and it costs $500 instead of $2000, and it doesn’t look silly.

The standing desk is a part of it, but a majority of standing desks are not used for the intended purpose- to switch form sitting to standing more frequently. The problem is a combination of the time and distraction, and also just forgetting to do so. The problem we feel is to solve is how to enable more movement, without interrupting work, in way that is easy to adopt.
i have a desk set at standing height and a stool. its not my only workspace...but i find it really convenient to be able to wander up and use the machine for a little while without sitting down, and doing so if I feel like it.

total cost - basically zero
