I tried using a standing desk for a month straight

Bought one of those cheap electric ones off Amazon for $200 back in January. First week my legs ached so bad I couldn't focus on anything. By week three I was back to sitting 80% of the day. Anyone else find these things overhyped or did I just pick a bad model?

cheap electric ones off Amazon for $200" yeah that's your problem right there. Those budget models wobble like crazy and the range is garbage. I tried a friend's $600 model and it was a totally different experience. You gotta spend real money or just skip it entirely honestly.

You mentioned "gotta spend real money" but honestly even the midrange ones have battery safety issues nobody talks about. I saw a teardown video of a popular $600 board and the cells weren't even name brand, just generic Chinese wraps hiding who knows what. Until these things use proper Samsung or LG cells like good vapes do, I wouldn't trust any of them near my house while charging overnight.
