Yes. Get a motorized one than can go from a low lap height to standing height. Not all the desks have a large enough range so make sure you measure. Your elbows should be at about a 90 deg angle while sitting and standing. Get yourself a cushioned standing mat as well. Get a stand for your monitor too.
There are 2 main benefits. The most important one is that your chair and desk can be at the perfect ergonomic height while sitting. Most chairs and desks do not have the ideal height. Even an inch to high or low can cause issues over time.
The other benefit is being able to stand. It's good to allow your body to spend time in a different position. And standing is a bit more active and lets your move your muscles and shift your weight around more. I try to stand for an hour or 2 a day, but your feet and hips will get tired if you overdo it. Best to just set yourself an alarm and hit the stand button when it rings, then sit when you get tired. I find it's mostly just habit.
It's not a cure for a sedentary lifestyle, but good ergonomics and a little more variety in your work hours is better than nothing.
