As schools look to reopen, you are probably readying for your kids to attend school, offline or in-person. Have you considered an ergonomically designed desk?  Why do they need that? For their good health and overall well-being!

It allows muscles to relax too. Change the desk height between 29.4 to 48 inches by merely pressing a button or two.  For the junior kids at home, don’t miss the Autonomous SmartDesk Junior.
