Any desk recommendations?

Getting a standing desk.
Should I get a backless stool or a real chair for when I sit? I've never had a backless stool, so worried that I'll have nothing to lean against. Money & space only allow for one or the other, so please help me decide.
I do need to work on better posture either way and I'm hoping standing during 6 hours of meetings will fix that. I do tend to sit when I'm in the flow and cranking out deliverables tho. Leaning slightly towards chair. But the stool is so cute! Thoughts?

Work from home: Any recommendations for a standing desk? I will be placing two large monitors & two laptops on it so I need lots of space. I hear they can get a bit wobbly the higher you raise them, but I’m all of 5’2 so... Also need recs for a supportive office chair too.

Can anyone share their WFH setup so I can get some inspiration on what I can/should do? Any tips are helpful. Our department will likely be moving to WFH permanently in the coming weeks/months.

Best WFH desk to purchase?

With the WFH grind looking permanent for the foreseeable future, I think it’s time to (somewhat) splurge on a nice desk for my office. Right now My setup is a laptop, and two 32 inch monitors. I don’t absolutely need standing desk capabilities, as I have adjustable platforms for my computer and monitors, but a nice hybrid desk would still be convenient.

Any recommendations from my fellow accountants?
