I had a standing desk for several months - and it was a mixture of good and bad. When I had a delayed flight though Dubai and ended up stuck in a queue for 4 hours waiting to rebook tickets, it meant I didn't feel too much more fatigue than a normal day at work. :-) I think it was helping me not slouch so much - so probably good for my back. But then, with our newborn (colic, etc.), I was just so exhausted in general, that I found I'd arrive at work and not have the energy to stand upright for more than an hour or so, and sometimes just walking upstairs to my desk would make me feel out of breath and floppy. So when I had to move offices, I simply couldn't be bothered to re-set up all the stuff I'd need for a standing desk, and resorted to a chair. I've only been back in the chair for a month or so, so I don't know if my posture will end up as awful as before. Maybe the thing to do is to use a standing desk half the year, and a sitting desk the other half... An adjustable desk would be best, but either expensive, or complicated.
