I've tried standing desks a few times and what I've found is that if your going to work more than regular hours it's a bad idea. That is you should not stand more than 8 hours a day for 5 days a week. And even then that should be punctuated by breaks such as lunch, meetings, etc.

The main difference I found say compared toa cashier is that you barely move. You don't twist side to side and so on. This might seem small but it's important.

The biggest issue though is that if you're doing a startup with long hours you need to be very careful. Like everything else overdoing anything is bad.

The recommendation I've seen from others before building my standing desk, and certainly the pattern I follow, is to alternative sitting and standing. My desk is set up for a standing situation, but I can undock my laptop and sit at any time. Some days I stand 65% of the time, some days I stand 10% of the time.

Mix it up, feel better.
