FluidStance Plane Standing Desk Balance Board - 360 Degree Rocker for Fatigue and Exercise - Sustainably Made, Anti-Slip Wobble Board - Premium Desk Accessories

Day #1 and already in love with this thing! I've been searching, and searching (and searching some more!) for a board to use at my desk.I had been wanting to stand more, but my back wasn't having it. While searching for an anti-fatigue mat, I stumbled upon the world of balance boards.The first one I tried was round (Aquiva wooden wobble board), and didn't allow for a very wide stance without worrying about falling off the edge and embarassing myself in front of my office mates. Returned.The second one was longer in shape, like a skateboard (Simply Fit board). This shape is perfect, but the ends curved upward, causing my ankles to get sore after about 20 minutes because they were bent funny. I kept this one, because it's a good workout for myself and the kids....just not for use for long periods of time at a standing desk.My 3rd was an amazing board from a very cool company in Wisconsin, Whirly Board. It totally looks like a skateboard, and is even made from wood. Very nice, sturdy construction. It's for skateboard or snowboard training, with a total of 3 pivot points. Advanced users could use at a standing desk. But not this chick! This board was way too challenging for me and my current fitness level (which is at about a -3 right now, if I'm being honest). I returned this, but plan on repurchasing down the road once I meet my fitness goals. And their customer service is phenomenal.And now I have THIS board....The Plane by FluidStance. I immediately whooped with joy while trying it out for the first time. It's solidly constructed, and has the perfect amount of movement, in all directions. You don't feel like you're going to fall off, but you don't feel completely stable either. I wonder what will happen if I sneeze while standing on this..... I'll include that in an update at a later time!For the price I paid for this thing, I hope the construction lasts. I'm a bit worried about the edge coming loose after some use, but I will be back to update if anything like that happens.I am so happy that I finally have the perfect board for work! Plus, there was a nice little handwritten note included. Awesome company. Thank you! :)

Honestly... my first reaction to seeing an ad for this was that it was a silly idea. I bought it as an impulse purchase and out of curiosity. But is a cool product. And more practical than I imagined. I work about 50/50 standing and sitting and I really recommend standing some of the day if you have a desk job. I like the mobility the board offers while standing. I have hip pain and moving around stretches my hip and it seems to help. Also... it’s pretty awesome to be skating or surfing while you work. It’s not as distracting as you would think. I also like the board for sitting down. I often use it to rest my feet on and play around moving my ankles and legs. For me... I think it’s worth the price tag. It’s a fun tool that I use throughout the day. And when I don’t want to use it I just slide it to the side.I’m a big dude (around 260 lbs) I dont know which board I ordered for weight class but it holds up really well. It does elevate you a little... but not enough to mess up my standing setup.

The FluidStance The Plane is a decent option for those looking to add some movement to their standing desk routine. It provides a slight wobble that helps with balance and engagement, but it's definitely on the easier side.Pros:Easy to use: The Plane is very accessible, even for beginners. The wobble is gentle, allowing for a gradual adjustment period.Sturdy and stable: Despite the wobble, the board feels solidly built and provides ample support.Improves balance: The gentle movement helps to engage core muscles and improve balance over time.Cons:Limited movement: The wobble is very mild, making it feel more like a subtle rocking than a true balance challenge.Core engagement: While it does engage the core, it's not as intense as I expected. It feels more like an "easy mode" for core activation.Overall:While The Plane is not the most challenging balance board, it's a good choice for those seeking a gentle introduction to active standing. It's well-made, easy to use, and provides some benefits for balance and core engagement. However, if you're looking for a more intense workout, you might want to consider other options.

This is the third board by FluidStance that I have worked into the classrooms as a special education teacher at the high school level. My students love it and are getting more opportunities to move around and be active, which helps the students with attention difficulties.This board is the first that I have that has the recyclable parts and composite top and it is the sleekest of the three so far. Students were excited to try it out and I even find myself using it at my standup desk to help me get my work done. I have never felt in danger or worried about someone falling and students and other staff all use it respectfully.The range of motion actually makes my body feel better when I come home after work as I am less sedentary. I have noticed a difference in my energy levels and the ability to focus for several of the students who no longer see it as a toy but as a tool to help them focus. Grades haven't been better in a long time (I swear it!).Try it out with a stand up desk. You won't be disappointed.
