Laura Miller
I write a lot and read a lot, which can be ergonomically dicey. For whatever reason, it’s easiest on my shoulders for me to write with my laptop on my lap, sitting in this chair in a corner of my apartment. JUST as important is the rolling Levo Book Stand, shown in this photo. This thing has changed my life! When you need to read for 4 or 5 hours a day, holding a hardcover up and open at eye level can be very hard on your arms, neck, shoulders. The holder is also great for transcribing. (The lion mask you can see part of on the wall above is a souvenir of Venice, a city I love, and that’s a footrest holding up my MacBookPro.)
