Warning: That drafting table at the Austin trade show nearly ruined my back for a week

I spend 2 hours hunched over some fancy adjustable table at the 2023 AEC Expo and couldn't stand straight for days. Anyone else find that those slick new tables just don't work for actual long hours of tracing?

Oh man, I dunno if it was the table or just your back needing a break. I've used those adjustable ones and they're fine, but nothing beats just getting up and stretching every hour. You sure it wasn't just a bad angle or you being locked in one spot too long?

People get sold on gear fixes when it's really just the bad habits we all develop. I've seen friends blow money on ergonomic chairs, fancy keyboards, and wrist rests, but they still sit the same way for six hours straight. It's like buying a better vacuum cleaner but never actually moving it around the room. We want a device to solve what our bodies are telling us to just get up and do.
