There are a lot of shaky ergonomic concepts that have successfully marketed their way into our brains because they are associated with an expensive solution. Some of them are worthwhile, but it's hard to tell. When you want a bandaid, you're inclined to try anything with a reputation.

Every time someone shops for standing desks, I mention my floor desk setup. A floor desk with height and tilt action(plus some peripherals) is a fraction of the cost of a regular desk and chair, and lets me change posture frequently. If I need more surfaces or a mix of angled and flat, I can fit in a second desk. Unless ceremonial reasons or a dirty floor require you to be in a more elevated pose, it is the superior.

Yet every time, they invent a reason to not want it. After all, they aren't there to solve their aching back, they are buying a standing desk.
