1) Flexispot standing desk & standing desk monitor arm

2) Wobble stool for the in-between standing and sitting height at my standing desk.

Between 1 & 2 my back health is so much better it is hard to believe. My old home office furniture was horrible. Best investment I made early in the 9+ months now working from home.

3) Elektron Model:Cycles FM Synth. Making happy bleep bloops.

4) Almost to the front of the line to order a Concept 2 Model D rowing machine to lose my 'covid 19' pounds I've gained whilst isolating - set to order on Dec 30.

Good to hear about the Flexispot desk. How long have you had it? Looking to get a standing desk and these look decent.

Got mine at the end of May. I use it basically every day, in both sitting and standing positions. Price was right, quality better than I expected. Their keyboard tray doesn't really fit if you get a tabletop with a curved indent like I did, I sent that part back. Not sure they sell tabletops like mine anymore.
