As a former web developer, I've done the standing desk. I didn't love or hate it. I liked being able to mix it up so I had an adjustable desk. As far as chair brands go, Ergohuman by Raynor is top notch. My husband got one almost 10 years ago as a paralegal who never left the desk and it's still perfect today. He had back pain with his previous chairs and the Ergo was the solution.
