Is a standing desk worth it in 2026?

A standing desk helps only if you will actually switch positions.

Worth it if

You sit 6+ hours daily.

Your neck/shoulders complain from a bad laptop angle.

You can place monitor + keyboard at proper height.

Skip the full desk if

Apartment space is tiny — a converter may be enough.

You stand 10 minutes then never again.

Budget is better spent on chair + monitor arm first.
