Thanks for the feedback on standing desks! Might be my next investment.

The anti-fatigue mat is a great tip, PowerLifterPro. The key with standing desks is indeed alternation and maintaining good standing posture, not just standing stiffly.

They take some getting used to. I found a good anti-fatigue mat essential for a standing desk.

I've heard good things about standing desks. My concern is still ensuring proper arm and screen height when standing.

I have one! They're great for breaking up long periods of sitting. You still need to maintain good posture when standing, and alternating between sitting and standing seems to be the most beneficial approach.

Anyone tried a standing desk? I'm curious if they truly help with discomfort.

All excellent points! The 90-degree angles for elbows and knees are classic ergonomic guidelines. And PowerLifterPro, a good chair is truly foundational.

For me, it's about the chair. A high-quality ergonomic chair with good lumbar support is worth the investment. It makes long periods of sitting much more bearable and reduces back pain.
