I use a standing desk mainly for ~6 six years now.
I love it, my posture is better and I have an average 1000 - 2000 extra steps per day with it. It is not just that I pace around a bit but it is easier to step away from my desk to get water or just to spend a few relaxing minutes doing something else instead of using the computer in that time, even if I check something on my phone.
I had some hip and knee issues during this time and for a few weeks I changed back to sitting then standing again. All these issues came from my fault what I suggest avoid: standing too much on one leg. Put away all clutter like boxes under the desk or behind you so you avoid placing one feet somewhere so you end up standing like a stork like I did. And I still repeat this mistake.
You do not need an electric sitting-standing, a manual is good enough if you do not change multiple times a day.
