I do.  I have a Varidesk and love it! I got the Exec40 model because I have two monitors. I also have a thick, support mat to stand on.

I do not, but it seems like a good idea for somebody who is in a data entry type of position and is literally chained to their desk for 8 hours a day. I'm usually parked at mine for half that long or less. When I get up, at least and usually much more than once an hour, I completely leave my desk and I'm outside or gone or cooking or cleaning or stalking the dog or something. Varmints! 😁

I shopped seriously for one a while back.  Couldn't make myself pull the plug because of the price.  I ended up buying a bar table where I move my computer to when I want to stand.  And, it is way more versatile since I can move it around.

There are others that I've checked out. The price is eye popping on the ones that I've seen.

I've considered it but haven't made the leap yet. A relative works at the courthouse and uses one. She loves it and stands for more than half the day.

no, I do have one, but I'd rather sit on a ball at my desk.... it's a good way to strengthen your muscles while sitting.... it's a way practicing balance while working.... I love it.

Many do at my office, but when I need to stand, I go for a walk around the pond at my office and get some air too.

I have been considering one for a while now. I look at them but haven't purchased. I do like that ball chair of  Barbara Todaro's as I have heard they are great for the back and core.

I haven't actually gotten a "standing desk", as of yet Tony and Suzanne Marriott, Associate Brokers ... but I am standing while I talk on the phone, etc. more and more often to address the issue of being sedentary for long times.  My wife sent me an article just a week or so ago regarding this issue as a reminder ... so I'm trying to stand as often as possible.
