Is a standing desk worth it? I usually walk a bit after sitting for 30 or 60 minutes. I'm not sure if I need a standing desk or not. #asknostr

2nd'd, being able to fidget is key
you can do a trial run by stacking things on your desk.. at least, that's what I've done in the past. example, put a chair on the desk, put your laptop on the chair. or find stackable things to get you to the right height. then if you like it, you can buy a standing desk.

100% yes! Your hips and overall posture will thank you, from an old dude, think UNIX sysadmin old..
I just put a storage box on my desk to work standing up. Most of the time I still prefer to sit. ๐Ÿ˜„

Not unless you consider standing 'intense exercise'.
You can hack one together. Either get a modular top or get the motorized legs and add a plywood or nice wood top. (The cheap way). Peace. Iโ€™m a fan of having one.
