Ergonomic Standing Platform

We could probably all stand to sit a little less at work. Why not make your standing desk more dynamic with Fluid Stance’s American-Made Level, which incorporates the subtle motion that makes swivel chairs so satisfying? It’s probably not advisable to spin in circles on this — a practice you are, of course, too mature and professional to indulge in — but you can enhance your core and balance while getting work done.
