I'm always tempted to get one but can't quite justify the purchase. What difference does it make to your quality of life?

Not OP but my posture is improved and I move a lot more, so don't end a day of work feeling stiff.

It's not really about what a standing desk can do for you now, it's what it does for yourself in 10 years.

Alternating standing and sitting will help a lot. It's not that any given posture is bad, it's that any posture for a long period is bad. Don't just do the desk either, eyes fingers and legs too!
