Standing Desk recommendations

[KentState]

I'm wanting to purchase a motorized standing desk for home. Has anyone purchased a desk online and been happy with the seller? Specifically, I would want something in the 72-80" range, motorized with preset heights.

I saw this one advertised, but not familiar with the company. https://www.upliftdesk.com/uplift-v2-standing-desk-v2-or-v2-commercial/

I have a couple of questions for you:

1) Do you primarily work from home or are at your desk at home for more than 4 hours a day?
2) Have you actually used one before?
3) Are you used to standing at a desk for long periods of time?

The reason I ask is that I have one for work, but I find that I rarely use it standing up. I find that standing for long periods of time is just as hard on my back as it is to sit for the same length of time. So if I were to buy one for my home, it would be a waste of money unless I worked a lot from home.

people around here use Varidesks, which are nice, I guess, because you just plop it onto what you currently have and don't require a complete replacement.

I've also observed that the novelty wears off rather quickly and most users go back to 100% sitting within a few months.

I have two. it cost about US$300-400is so, because I am in China. All these standing desks are pretty much made in china.

they are more or less the same, you can set the height you want.

The most important thing about standing desk is you definitely need to get a standing mat. When I first started with standing desk, my feet hurt a lot, then I got a standing mat and could stand on it all the time.

Our entire organization went to standing desks about 3 years ago. Something like 100k desks across all of the buildings where put in and I see many folks still standing for parts of the day. Personally, I stand 50-75% of the day depending on how I feel.
