Appreciation post: the $3 plastic footstool from a Decatur garage sale that fixed 6 years of desk misery
For years I sat with my chair cranked all the way up so my elbows hit the desk right, and my feet just dangled in the air. My knees ached every night and I kept blaming my chair, even priced out a $300 replacement last winter. Then a buddy sat at my setup in Decatur and asked why the desk was 2 inches higher than everything I owned, and it hit me I had the whole setup backwards. I dropped the legs to 27 inches, threw a $3 footstool from a garage sale under my feet, and the aches quit in about a week. Anyone else running a desk height that matches their feet instead of their chair?
