  I'll go against the grain here.

  I think moving is better than just standing. I'd get a treadmill desk.

  Lifespan Fitness makes a treadmill that goes under a desk, and then you can use whatever desk you want.

  In my configuration, I have a desk I bought from a local vendor. It has a motor that raises and lowers the desk, and I mount a VESA arm to the middle of the desk. On the right side, I have the treadmill. On the left side, I have a chair. I alternate between the two positions.

  Here's a picture: https://www.dropbox.com/s/089qqvaa7j5ob77/office_setup.jpg?d...

  I make use of the Pomodoro Technique while I'm working... so I'm typically walking for 25 minute cycles, then 5 minute breaks between. A long break every 4 cycles, and I sit down for all the breaks.

  I bought a Jarvis Standing Desk[1] when I transition to a 100% remote job. I love my desk and I love the motorized feature. You can select from various widths with various adding. It's not cheap but it has been worth every penny to me.

  I have an Autonomous.ai motorized sit/stand desk. It is much more sturdier and stable than similar desks from IKEA.
