The only advice I haven't seen yet that you might consider if standing is to wear shoes or some good house slippers. Standing in one place barefoot on a hard surface can really wear out the feet and knees of some people (probably depending on your arches).
A standing mat is good, but gets in the way of the chair if you're trying to sit.
The best solution I have found is simply wear something with padding and support, even if you're a no-shoes-in-the-house kind of person.
Although in my experience, a pair of slippers under the desk will quickly become the favorite sleeping spot for whatever pet you may have.
- Contexti 3y agoI wish I had known this. I tried a standing desk for six months some years ago. Standing on a hard surface damaged my heels. They still get sore sometimes. As others have said, the benefit of a standing desk is that you are not in the same position for too long. This can also be achieved via other ways. Nowadays I sit on an exercise ball or get up and stretch every 30 minutes.
