A chair. Standing desks are good and all, but you won’t want to stand every single day.
I think the point with standing desks is really you just want one that can convert to either be a standing or a sitting desk. And you switch it up from time to time.
It’s odd the people that advocate for standing only all day. Standing in one spot all day is straight up painful unless you’ve got a nice standing mat. Even then it can suck. Walking all day is different and won’t hurt as much. Long periods of immobility in any position aren’t exactly great for you, whether you’re sitting or standing. Not having the option to sit is also terrible.
A combo of standing and sitting is best, not one or the other.

I never want to go back to not having a standing desk. Next purchase was a mat bc my feet did bark a bit after a full day standing but my hips and back feel so much better.
Standing desks are for people who have never worked a physical job. Did you know that you can just stand up from a normal desk at any time? Now imagine a job where you can’t sit down.
Exercise your choice and stand up when you want to. Sit down when you want to. Don’t do one thing all day long.
I’ve worked physical jobs before, thanks. I still want to stand more now with my current mostly-at-a-desk job, thus I chose a standing desk.
Exercise your own choice and get whatever desk you want.
