How much time should I spend standing versus sitting at a sit-stand desk?

Ergonomic guidelines suggest standing 15–30 minutes out of every hour — totaling roughly 2–4 hours of standing across an 8-hour workday. If you're new to standing at a desk, start with shorter intervals (20–30 minutes) and build up over a few weeks. Prolonged standing without movement — more than 60–90 minutes at a stretch — brings its own fatigue and lower back issues. The point is to break up static sitting, not simply replace it with static standing. FindOfficeFurniture.com includes ergonomic use guides with every purchase — call 888-719-4960.
