yes. i got rid of my desk chair at a clinic job in the 70's. and over the years as my spinal disease worsened i found it easier to do everything standing. i sew standing, if i have the space, i stand at countermto read the newspaper, i often even stand at count to read my ipad. standing is better i think than a chair for many reasons, especially because it helps with balance, you're moving even when your not.
