Are standing desks really worth the hype?

I would probably only buy 2-in-1 desks if I needed such a one, so you can sit OR stand.

I dig them but also know people that despise them.

yes they are.
But i would recomend a motorized one so that you can sit too.

Not really, in my opinion, but it is still probably good for your health to stand a bit more.

The motorized ones look cool but a cheaper and less distracting solution to the same problem is tall chairs, that way you can sit or stand without adjusting the desk.

Its better to stand, but remember to have a soft standing area or your feet will hate you.

We got adjustable desks when we moved to our new office and I have found that it helps lessen back and neck pain.

I usually stand an hour or to in the morning and another pass after lunch.

That makes for a varied posture over the day.

If you want to try it, check out uncaged ergonomics. They have some products that you can use to "simulate" a standing desk. Check out their keyboard tray for example:https://youtu.be/C_1IzyVK9go

I have one, very happy with it.

Yes, the motorized ones where you can stand a couple of hours a day and sit comfortably the rest.

I've got bad feet AND knees so I'd be done in an hour :/

Appreciate the input, everyone! I've been getting real tight lately in my lower back, so I think I'm gonna give one of these hybrid desks a try. 👍🏻

i loved the varier kneelchair in combo with the variable standing desk at my last job. Was really enjoying working there because of this.

Do you like to stand?
The answer to that question also answers your question. :-)

I have been looking for a good kneeling chair for ages. I used one a few years back and it was amazing. Thanks for sharing this, I'll check out Varier.
