# 84 Reddit comments on a standing desk nobody uses https://aicommentexporter.com/samples/standing-desk-reddit/ Product research from a thread of owners: why people stop standing, what fixed it for others, and what they bought next. Reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/comments/1q1ia5q/ ("I bought an expensive standing desk 6 months ago. I think I’ve stood at it exactly twice."). Read 84 comments on November 14, 2026; 1,000 points. Nothing edited. Commenters are split on standing desks: some find them helpful for back and neck pain, focus during calls, and pairing well with walking pads and anti-fatigue mats, while others find standing still uncomfortable and say the desks often go unused. Many suggest easing into standing with timers, mats, supportive shoes, and occasional sitting, and several ask about tall-friendly desks and accessories. ## Questions people ask ### Do you also use a standing pad or mat? (1 comments) > Do you also have a standing pad? I use my standing desk, in sneakers on the pad, at least 2 hours a day I’d estimate? > -- u/[deleted], 66 likes, https://www.reddit.com/r/WFH/comments/1q1ia5q/i_bought_an_expensive_standing_desk_6_months_ago/nx5szvp/ ### Any recommendations for a height-adjustable desk that suits tall people? (1 comments) > Does anyone have any tall people friendly ht adjustable desk recommendations? My desk is always in the standing position, but it’s just a few inches too short and has been killing my neck > -- u/mehoymimoyy, 1 likes, https://www.reddit.com/r/WFH/comments/1q1ia5q/i_bought_an_expensive_standing_desk_6_months_ago/nx772mi/ ## Complaints and problems ### Standing still is uncomfortable and hard on feet, legs, and joints (6 comments) > I had standing desks for ten years, but I used them rarely because I am not comfortable standing still. When I moved to full-time WFH, I bought a standing desk and walking pad, and I much prefer my station set up that way. I do have to set goals for myself to use it, though. My daily goal is to walk for at least 30 minutes in the morning and another 30 minutes after lunch. The after-lunch walk makes the biggest difference in my energy levels. I mean, I'm not telling you to buy even more expensive equipment, only you know you, but the walking pad was the difference-maker for me. > -- u/KeepOnRising19, 18 likes, https://www.reddit.com/r/WFH/comments/1q1ia5q/i_bought_an_expensive_standing_desk_6_months_ago/nx5vgt0/ > I did the same and my feet were killing me.

The absolute 100% works all the time solution is to get up and move, then sit, then get up and move, then sit for a while. But standing (mostly) still is really hard on your joints. > -- u/doyoucreditit, 2 likes, https://www.reddit.com/r/WFH/comments/1q1ia5q/i_bought_an_expensive_standing_desk_6_months_ago/nx5typl/ ### Hard to type or focus while standing (3 comments) > Have a standing desk in the office, in 5 years I've used it 4 times.

Nope. > -- u/ThisCromulentLife, 1 likes, https://www.reddit.com/r/WFH/comments/1q1ia5q/i_bought_an_expensive_standing_desk_6_months_ago/nx6c69m/ > I had a "standing desk" as a teen.

Just sit at your desk and go take a 5-minute walk every hour, or if you can, go for a walk during a call that doesn't require you to be at a monitor. > -- u/Comfortable-Phase741, 1 likes, https://www.reddit.com/r/WFH/comments/1q1ia5q/i_bought_an_expensive_standing_desk_6_months_ago/nx6k27g/ > My old office had standing desks for everyone and no one ever used them. > -- u/justbecoolguys, 1 likes, https://www.reddit.com/r/WFH/comments/1q1ia5q/i_bought_an_expensive_standing_desk_6_months_ago/nx6u1te/ ### Raising the desk moves the monitors (1 comments) > I don't like how raising the desk shefts movement to the monitors.

However, I found myself wondering off from the computer and pacing too much. Better to sit I think unless I had some kind of leash for myself. > -- u/Reason_Training, 1 likes, https://www.reddit.com/r/WFH/comments/1q1ia5q/i_bought_an_expensive_standing_desk_6_months_ago/nx5xc1g/ ## Buying signals ### Bought a standing desk and walking pad for WFH (2 comments) > I had standing desks for ten years, but I used them rarely because I am not comfortable standing still.

More with less people (everyone is nosy). Now I wfh for a new company and JUST bought a standing desk and a walking pad and I’m standing and walking 2 hours a day working up to 3. Sometimes in 30 min spurts sometimes an hour if I’m feeling it. Prior to my desk job a decade ago I worked retail and was on my feet 10-14 hours a day. So while sitting all day has been my new norm my body is embarrassing the movement it once knew. > -- u/Csei2011, 1 likes, https://www.reddit.com/r/WFH/comments/1q1ia5q/i_bought_an_expensive_standing_desk_6_months_ago/nx6ies4/ ### Bought Crocs to make standing bearable (1 comments) > I did the same and my feet were killing me.

If I want to stand up, I get up to change the laundry load or to take my dog outside.

Even if it’s for ten minutes. Eventually it’ll become habit and then you’ll move onto the next achievement in working from home which is the walking pad under your standing desk lol > -- u/[deleted], 1 likes, https://www.reddit.com/r/WFH/comments/1q1ia5q/i_bought_an_expensive_standing_desk_6_months_ago/nx6b6w8/ > i do stand daily. part of it is because i know sitting so long is bad, part of it is because the desk chair i have is horrible and not comfortable. you could try scheduling timers. i try to stand during meetings since i tend to not have to do a lot of typing during them. > -- u/jensenaackles, 1 likes, https://www.reddit.com/r/WFH/comments/1q1ia5q/i_bought_an_expensive_standing_desk_6_months_ago/nx5wxlk/ ### Advice to get a comfort mat and stand 30-60 min then sit (1 comments) > Get a comfort mat for standing. Stand for 30 minutes to an hour, then sit. Increase your standing time. Make sure your elbows are in an "L" position when you work. > -- u/PepperCat1019, 1 likes, https://www.reddit.com/r/WFH/comments/1q1ia5q/i_bought_an_expensive_standing_desk_6_months_ago/nx85sjo/ ### Advice to strengthen core and legs at the gym (2 comments) > The easiest way to fix your posture is lifting at the gym. > -- u/No_Celery5992, 3 likes, https://www.reddit.com/r/WFH/comments/1q1ia5q/i_bought_an_expensive_standing_desk_6_months_ago/nx5zbyi/ > Perhaps you have weak calf and foot muscles? Or a weak core? If you're mostly sedentary, then standing for more than 5 minutes will hurt. Maybe do exercises to strengthen your core muscles. I did this at the gym & can now stand with my home standing desk for 30 minutes. No aches, pains or sore feet. > -- u/Lilydyner34, 1 likes, https://www.reddit.com/r/WFH/comments/1q1ia5q/i_bought_an_expensive_standing_desk_6_months_ago/nx6v3fi/ ## What people like ### Standing desk helps with back and neck pain versus sitting (3 comments) > I use mine for the majority of the day. I think the key for me is that it’s not really a health/fitness thing in my mind - I just literally feel more comfortable standing than sitting most of the time. Sitting really aggravates my lower back after a while. > -- u/amydiddler, 12 likes, https://www.reddit.com/r/WFH/comments/1q1ia5q/i_bought_an_expensive_standing_desk_6_months_ago/nx5wp5f/ > I use it everyday. I work 930 to 530 and I would say I stand for 90% of the time. I also have an under the desk treadmill I use for an hour during the day. My back and neck cant take sitting very long. > -- u/elisucks24, 1 likes, https://www.reddit.com/r/WFH/comments/1q1ia5q/i_bought_an_expensive_standing_desk_6_months_ago/nx8zp7f/ > I too have a standing desk but I don't stand at it much, mostly during phone calls. It does help to at least have the option to stand.

The key for me was an anti fatigue mat to stand on > -- u/Apprehensive-Ad-80, 1 likes, https://www.reddit.com/r/WFH/comments/1q1ia5q/i_bought_an_expensive_standing_desk_6_months_ago/nx67y6l/ > I got my standing pad at Costco.

But for both of those things, I find it easier to tie it to a particular activity like "every time I have an internal call, use my walking pad". I've always used it 1-2x/wk but I'm trying to get 10,000 steps a day right now so I'm going for 1 hour a day at least right now. It doesn't have to be a long-term habit but it seemed like a nice way to switch things up. > -- u/Correct-Finding7272, 1 likes, https://www.reddit.com/r/WFH/comments/1q1ia5q/i_bought_an_expensive_standing_desk_6_months_ago/ny1q4sq/ ### Standing during calls helps engagement and focus (2 comments) > I use it for all of my zoom calls daily! I feel like it helps me be more engaged, and calls are usually more “social work” than “deep focus work” in my role, so I do all other work, including call prep work, seated, then stand for the call itself. I like that combination most days! > -- u/amelieionroses, 5 likes, https://www.reddit.com/r/WFH/comments/1q1ia5q/i_bought_an_expensive_standing_desk_6_months_ago/nx5z9ms/ > I have a non-adjustable standing desk so I stand all the time when working from home. It helps to keeps me more focused than when I’m sitting. I have found on the days I go into the office (no standing desks) that I fidget so much more. > -- u/Forsaken_Bee3717, 1 likes, https://www.reddit.com/r/WFH/comments/1q1ia5q/i_bought_an_expensive_standing_desk_6_months_ago/nx9n7qr/ ### Adjustability for sitting height is the most valuable feature (3 comments) > Weekly maybe? I use it if I’m being tricky and trying to exercise and work at the same time. I’m tall and being able to adjust it for sitting level is probably the more prominent feature. Fixed desks tends to run low for me. > -- u/Soccermom233, 1 likes, https://www.reddit.com/r/WFH/comments/1q1ia5q/i_bought_an_expensive_standing_desk_6_months_ago/nx64oru/ > You're overlooking an enormous function of your desk. Being able to set desk to a specific exact height for the optimal reduction in strain on both my wrists, back and neck was 1000% worth the price even though I havnt stood up with it in years. and to be honest the fancy ergonomic chair I also bought would have ultimately been a waste of money without this ability to optimise my body positioning in relation to my mouse, keyboard, screen, and chair. > -- u/content_aware_phill, 1 likes, https://www.reddit.com/r/WFH/comments/1q1ia5q/i_bought_an_expensive_standing_desk_6_months_ago/nx95qft/ > Don’t forget the adjustability even for sitting is nice.

The only times I don’t is when I’m feeling sick. The way I started into it was by going for walks at lunch. I keep my standing desk up high but have a chair I can sit in if I get tired. But to get work done I have to stand. I also had a stool I could sit at and work a bit from.

A standing desk gives you the opportunity to work in a different position and stretch out after a period of sitting. If you stand for 10-15 minutes every couple of hours you’ll do wonders for your overall health. > -- u/Ok-Willow-9145, 157 likes, https://www.reddit.com/r/WFH/comments/1q1ia5q/i_bought_an_expensive_standing_desk_6_months_ago/nx5v07h/ > I stand all day.

Much more comfortable with the table lowered to minimum. Also I'll adjust it a few inches up or down depending on what I'm working on, and what my posture is. Leaving forward reading? Could inches up so I'm not so low. Upright and writing emails? Couple inches down right at typing height. I also have a kneeling chair I use once in a while and I can adjust the desk height for that chair's height difference compared to my regular office chair. I'll stand occasionally, but not that often. > -- u/Jasong222, 1 likes, https://www.reddit.com/r/WFH/comments/1q1ia5q/i_bought_an_expensive_standing_desk_6_months_ago/nx6y9tz/ > I stand at every teams meeting.
