That flexibility is the part I appreciate most. When I wish to change positions throughout the day, I may use it as a temporary standing station, wheel it next to a chair, or set it near a window. All of these options are available to me. Before using this desk, I often ended up working from whatever table was open, which was not always comfortable or organized. Because of this, I now have a surface that is solely mine and does not dominate the space. The change of the height has shown to be helpful in actual day-to-day usage. In addition to using it when sitting and standing, I have also utilized it as a side table for doing brief activities. Initially, it was necessary to engage in some trial and error in order to determine the height that was most comfortable for me, but after I had established my favorite settings, adjusting positions became rather simple. I like that I am not stuck using it only one way. On days when I am doing focused computer work, I usually sit. When I am checking emails, taking notes, or doing quick tasks, I raise it and stand for a while. The size is suitable for a configuration that is centered on a laptop. I am able to accommodate my laptop, mouse, phone, and a small notepad without experiencing a great deal of discomfort. As it is not intended to serve as a replacement for a big office desk, I would advise against trying to cram an excessive amount of things inside it. It is convenient and effective when used within the parameters of its capabilities. The surface gives me enough room for the basics, which is exactly what I wanted from a compact rolling desk.
