While you're not on your feet the whole time, you're not completely seated either, taking away the negative effects of sitting in one position for long stretches.

Why are standing desk chairs and stools gaining popularity by the day?
Health benefits: While the traditional way of working while sitting the whole time has been the norm for hundreds of years, it has not come with zero consequences. The long-term effects of excessive sitting include obesity, high blood pressure, increased blood sugar levels, and high cholesterol levels. As we gain more knowledge about the issues surrounding sitting for extended periods, we try to shift further towards better alternatives.
Better work experience and increased activity: Standing desk chairs and stools reduce one's sitting time and are a much more fun way of getting work done. Having the possibility of changing one's sitting heights and positions while working induces higher activity levels and burns more calories than simply sitting in one spot.

What is a standing desk chair/stool?
A standing desk chair/stool is a piece of furniture that allows you to lean against it while working so you're not sitting still in one position for long periods. They are usually used with standing desks and are not suitable for traditional seated desks that you cannot adjust into a standing position; for those, go for an ergonomic chair.
