As a teacher in South San Francisco, I live in a very small apartment. Normally this is fine, but during distance learning, I am severely in need of a work space. I was able to make it through a semester using a combination of folding trays and a stack of books to put my computer at eye level, but this is neither a stable (I have to deconstruct it every day) nor safe setup (there have been far too many near misses involving coffee and laptops). Really what I need is a desk. So world, I come to you. After scouring the available products, I have chosen this particular adjustable desk for the following reasons: 1) It's large enough to comfortably work on multiple devices and take notes at the same time. (As well as to avoid the aforementioned catastrophic combination of liquid and electronic devices.) 2) It's small enough to fit in my tiny apartment. 3) It has an adjustable height, which will allow me to put it at the proper level. Shorties of the world, I'm sure you understand the frustration of having desks either too high or too low, and sitting in front of the computer all day teaching remotely exacerbates an already uncomfortable situation. I hope that setting up a stable work station will enable me to greet my students with less stress this semester. If you, too, are in favor of less stress, then help a struggling teacher out?
