Working as a wedding photographer / small business owner for the past 15 years and not up keeping / prioritizing my body has really taken a toll on my lower back and spine to the point where I was suffering from spinal stenosis from L5-S1. While this desk is not exactly the answer in fully alleviating the bodily pains of working at a desk, it provides an extra layer of comfort while working due to being able to squat down to open up the hip flexors and use different muscle groups in the body while sitting at a desk in front of a computer. I HIGHLY recommend this squat to stand desk as an aid to help productivity and those who need flexibility while working at home in an office setting.
