This is just a chair but fewer foot rest options.
It's a chair tall enough to use at the same height as a standing desk.
But doesn't it defeat the purpose of a standing desk?
No, why would you think that?
With a fancy motorized sit/stand desk that's all the rage these days, you either sit at it in a regular chair with the desk at its low setting, or you hit the button and wait for it to lift to its high setting so you can use it while standing.
With a fixed standing-height desk and a high drafting stool instead of a low normal chair, you use the desk while standing, or you sit on the stool and use the desk (again, still in that same high position) while seated.
IMO, the latter has a bunch of advantages:
It's quicker to transition between standing and sitting because you don't have to wait for the motor
It's cheaper because you don't have to buy a desk with a motor in it
There are no extra moving parts to break
You can cable-manage your computer cables without having to leave extra slack to accommodate the desk moving
You can wall-mount your monitors to reduce desk clutter, since they don't have to move, whereas with a motorized desk you'd have to use a regular monitor stand or a monitor bracket that clamps to the desk top
Ok so you're saying get a high chair and a high desk instead of an adjustable desk. Sure I suppose it depends on cost then.
However the high chair when being sat on has fewer posture changes possible than the low chair. I would still go for that.
