Desks That Kill Zoom Fatigue?
Entrepreneur
|Startups Summer 2021
Another workday at home getting you down? A new line of desks will help you up— and help you maintain focus.

Yasmeen Tadia once used an upsidedown box as a makeshift standing desk. But as her company grew—her gourmet cotton candy business, Make Your Life Sweeter, now serves the likes of Facebook, Lyft, and Laura Mercier—she felt it was time to upgrade her Make Your Life Sweeter, . So she bought a desk from the manufacturer Vari, which moves into sitting or standing positions at the touch of a button.
The cost for this new luxury: $650. “But it was totally worth it,” says Tadia. She says she feels physically better every day, and the setup looks a lot nicer than that old box.
