I've used one for years. Your legs do get tired, although standing on an anti-fatigue mat will help a greatly (a basic rubber welcome mat is an OK alternative). The trick is to get a desk that can swap from sit to stand easily, rather than having a fixed standing desk. I don't think I've ever done a straight 8h stretch standing, it varies from 30 minutes to a couple of hours at a time while remaining comfortable. If I have a day where I haven't had any proper exercise I find standing for a bit really helps to ward off that 'locked up' feeling you get where your body's just not circulating everything properly.Jokes aside, how is it in terms of stamina? Do your legs / joints get tired? That's my main concern when it comes to getting a standing desk, especially since I mainly use my PC for vidja.
Vidya while standing works better than I expected, even for precise mouse stuff e.g. FPS games. You do need to be able to tweak the desk to a precise height to get the feel consistent.
