I have a nice 4 post one. The alarm was annoying and I eventually turned it off to remind me to stand. I didn’t always hear it with headphones on anyways. I would and still may get a multi position setting controller as I use about 3 modes. Sitting properly, standing, and higher than normal sitting to change things up. Get a foot rest and don’t use the metal bar because your legs or feet will hurt from it.

The stand part, I have thick slippers and use a square of exercise floor matting to stand on.

After a month, I started drinking more water and walking around the house using pomodoro timers rather than standing.

Now several months later I sit less and less because my chair isn’t terribly comfortable over long periods of time especially in summer.

I spoke to a physical therapist with 30 years experience who said posture doesn’t matter and you will always adjust or get comfortable anyways.

Being able to push my entire chair under the desk is nice.
