I turned my broken office chair into a standing desk for free

Last month I was at my desk in my tiny apartment in Austin when my chair just gave out. The gas cylinder snapped and I hit the floor hard, coffee everywhere. Instead of buying a new chair I couldn't afford I just grabbed my old milk crates from the alley. Stacked two of them up and now I have a standing desk situation that actually works. My back feels better honestly and I don't miss the chair at all. The only downside is my cat keeps trying to knock the crates over while I'm typing. Has anyone else turned a furniture fail into something useful like this?

Nothing like a broken chair to finally fix your posture, right?

Ha yeah I heard somewhere that a lot of people actually sit way too far forward in their chairs and it messes up their back. Maybe that chair was trying to tell you something lol.
