We've got electric motor ones in the new office I moved to recently. It is quite nice to switch back and forth throughout the day. 2 or 3 days per week, I will move to standing 2-3 times for 30-45 minutes. The other days I'm seated the whole day, but those seem to be the days that I'm moving to and from meetings.

Generally, I would say that 75% of people stay sitting most of the time, 15% will stand for about an hour per week, and the last 10% (including myself), stand fairly regularly.

I particularly like to raise it when I have others visiting my desk, it is nice to have everyone on the same level (literally, then hopefully figuratively).
