I've got some leg/knee issues that come and go. I like to stand, but I often can only do it for an hour or so.

I've got the Skarsta at home, but I rarely crank it up because it's a lot of effort and I'll just have to crank it down again in an hour.

At work I have an electrically controlled sit/stand desk. It's great.

You may want to consider getting a tall stool for the hour or so you stand and then just swap chairs. I did that for a bit because I didn't like adjusting the desk constantly, and it was nice because I could have someone sit next to me without needing to find another chair or stand. The stool didn't take up too much space either, so it was nice.
