Yes. Love it. Depending on my schedule, I'll switch between standing and sitting several times during the day.

Yes. It’s been really helpful to have these days. I alternate between standing, using a high stool and sitting at the dining room table or on the couch. I deeply appreciate that I’m not sitting all day.

My husband does. He loves it.

Yup!

Yeppppp, it's awesome

Yup, I love mine.

Yes, it’s amazing.

Yup! My husband and I both got risers and it’s awesome. Especially when the workday actually ends up being 10+ hours even from home!

Just landed a full time gig, looking to get some furniture so I’m not working on my parents’ kitchen table during this remote period. Any recommendations for desks and chairs?

I know everyone has a different kind of setup that works for them. I currently have a laptop, drawing pad, second monitor, and a desk riser.
