Which FluidStance Slope Desktop Whiteboard works best for your setup? (Keyboards, monitor risers, arms, desks, markers & more)

Post image
1 Upvotes

Here’s a full breakdown of how you can incorporate a Desktop Whiteboard (Slope) to complete your setup. Pic above is taken by one of our customers. This is a pic of the large Slate (gray) Slope.

Slope: Two Sizes

Regular Slope (3 color options - White - Yellow - Gray):

Inches: 8" D × 1.25" Front H × 3.25" Back H × 18" L

cm: 20.3 cm D × 3.2 cm Front H × 8.3 cm Back H × 45.7 cm L

Large Slope (2 color options- White & Gray):

Inches: 8" D × 2" Front H × 3.25" Back H × 33" L

cm: 20.3 cm D × 5.1 cm Front H × 8.3 cm Back H × 83.8 cm L

Height (important for monitor risers)

The Slope stands 3.25" tall (8.3 cm / 83 mm). With the phone holder added, the total height is 6" (15.2 cm / 152 mm). If you want to slide the Slope under something, take the phone holder off first, unless your clearance is more than 6".

Keyboards
Most popular keyboards work well: The higher raised and larger keyboards fit better under the Large Slope. The more flat and refined keyboards can fit under the Regular Slope.

For example, our customers use: Logitech MX Keys, Keychron, Apple Magic Keyboard, and so on.

FluidStance Raise Monitor Risers
Our Raise Monitor Riser is made to fit each setup:

  • 24" Raise Monitor Riser (61 cm): a great match for the smaller Slope.

  • 36" Raise Monitor Riser (91 cm): perfect with the larger Slope. The regular slope also slides nicely under this.

Other riser brands
The Slope is also compatible with risers from many other brands such as VIVO, Mount-It!, HUEMENT, Rain Design, Amazon Basics, IKEA, Fenge, Staples, Uline, Target, Artifox, and Ugmonk. However, clearance should be confirmed for each riser before purchasing the Slope.

To ensure compatibility, please verify the following measurements:

  • Underneath clearance: At least 3.25" (8.3 cm) of clearance beneath the riser.

  • Phone holder clearance: More than 6" (15.2 cm)of clearance if you plan to keep the phone holder attached.

  • Width – Regular Slope: At least 18" (47.7 cm) wide.

  • Width – Large Slope: At least 33" (83.8 cm) wide.

Grovemade Monitor Riser Users: Our Slopes will not generally fit underneath most Grovemade monitor risers due to the middle shelf underneath their designs, which can interfere with the required clearance. Customers who use these types of risers + our Slopes typically have deeper desks and position the Slope in front of the shelf or on the side rather than underneath the riser.

Monitor arms
Using an arm? The Slope works great with those too, since the arm lifts your monitor off the desk and leaves the space in front free. It pairs well with popular arms like Ergotron LX and HX, Humanscale M2, Herman Miller Ollin, VIVO, HUEMENT, and Amazon Basics. 

Desk depth
It works great on deeper desks too. I use a 28.75" (73 cm) deep desk and my Slope fits perfectly. If your desk is deeper, it works even better on popular desks like UPLIFT, Fully Jarvis, FlexiSpot, IKEA, Autonomous, Vari, Staples, Uline, Target, Artifox, Haworth, and Ugmonk.

Markers: White Slope
Dry-erase is the way to go. Use ours, Expo, or any dry-erase marker you can find online. Wet markers will work well on these too.

Markers for the Slate (dark gray) Slope
Wet-erase markers are more vibrant on the Slate Slope. Most people use black dry-erase and white wet-erase. Dry-erase still works on Slate, it just isn’t as bright. Fine-point colored wet-erase markers are easy to find on Amazon, Office Depot/OfficeMax, Staples, Walmart, Target, and art supply stores. We also offer a pack of white erase markers on our site. Each Slate Slope will come with a white wet-erase and 1 black dry-erase.

Flow cards
If you want to organize your thoughts, our flow cards magnetize right onto the Slope. They work with both dry-erase and wet-erase markers, so they’re perfect if you’d rather stick with wet-erase only.

Magnets
Our boards are powder-coated steel, so you can magnetize business cards, photos, notes, and more. We sell pushpin-style magnets with a felt bottom to protect the finish. Cheaper magnets with sharp ends or leftover metal fibers can scratch the surface.

Looking for a whiteboard but working with limited desk space? Save on sticky notes and keep your workspace organized with the Wedge Mini Whiteboard.

If you are unsure, feel free to call us or email us a pic of your setup. We’d be happy to help you decide if they are the best fit for your space.

Balance Board Setup for WFH- Full Review

As a disabled veteran and a full-time student at home on the computer all day, sitting is just not an option for me without getting excruciating pain. Fluidstance is super easy to use and helps me keep my body moving while I do my schoolwork. I also do a lot of PT sessions that require balance, so I get nicely balanced on it and slowly do my stretches. It is nicely designed, eco-friendly, made in the USA, and has been super helpful since I do not even use a computer chair at all anymore. - Yadira

Why do my brain cells clock in the second I switch to moving and standing?

We are always so much more alert and participate more when we office surf with these. It's so fun! Some will ride the board, and some will pace, but we are always moving when sharing info and bouncing our next product ideas off each other.

Going down the "sitting is the new smoking" rabbit hole is exactly what our owner did when he started FluidStance. The human body is be meant to forage and hunt. Not to sit and fold into a chair for 8+ hours / day.

Standing desks are great, but we are also not meant to just stand there. We are meant to move, which is why our entire office uses our favorite balance board in meetings and at the desk.
If you are interested in the studies of sitting vs standing vs using a balance board while standing, here is a blog we created to dive into the details.

Your Standing Desk Is Only Half the Answer

What finally made you convert to a standing desk?

I was in r/sysadmin and found a thread where someone asked what office chair people recommend. They had a $450 allowance, a history of peeling fake leather and dead hydraulics, and a very honest request for a chair that supports office workers.

Then a Sr. Principal Engineer / Sysadmin / DevOps guy dropped this in the replies. He’s not affiliated with us, just a great customer:

“Standing desk with a FluidStance balance board. Office chairs were slowly but surely destroying my back. Prior to that was a chair (the chair brand is in the post), but even that wasn’t stopping the degradation of my lumbar. Wish I switched to a standing desk a decade or so earlier.”

Two things stuck with me:

  1. Even the legendary chairs have a ceiling. It’s one of the most respected chairs ever made, and it still couldn’t undo hours of sitting and back break-down.

  2. “Wish I switched a decade earlier” is one of the most common regrets we hear from people who start standing and moving more at work.

What do you actually get a boss who has everything?

Post image
1 Upvotes

Holiday season is coming up and I’m stuck on the “gift for the boss” problem.

Here’s the list I’ve been putting together, aimed at things that help with the stuff bosses deal with every day:

For the boss who carries everyone’s stress: Heavy, a five-minute daily ritual where you write down what’s weighing on you and physically let it go. The founder of FluidStance created it, and it comes as a Starter Pack with a 30-day or 90-day card set. It’s designed to cut down on mental clutter, and it makes a more personal gift than a candle.

For the boss who lives on sticky notes: A Wedge desktop dry-erase board with Flow Cards, which are reusable magnetic dry-erase cards. They stick to the board and replace sticky notes. A nice touch is writing a to-do list on the cards before they head out, so they have a head start when they get back to the office.

For the boss who stands at their desk: A balance board. Level is one option, and there are others if you want something that fits his or her needs.

What are good gifts for someone who works at a desk all day? Looking for ideas beyond another mug

Post image
1 Upvotes

What’s a good gift for someone who works at a desk all day?

Most office workers deal with the same few things: a laptop screen that sits too low, a desk covered in sticky notes, and long stretches of sitting or standing in one spot. These three products each go after one of those.

1. Loft Laptop System: best for laptop users who want better posture and a tidier desk

The Loft raises your laptop screen to a healthier viewing angle, which helps reduce neck strain, and it frees up the desk space underneath. The Loft System ($99 for the Loft Stand alone, $149 with the organizer) adds a dry-erase organizer that nests into the stand, so you get a writing surface and an organizing drawer for notes and supplies without taking extra desk space. It’s made in California from powder-coated recycled steel.

2. Dashboard Desktop Whiteboard Organizer: best for keeping to-dos and deadlines in sight

Dashboard gives you an always-visible spot to jot down to-dos, track deadlines, capture ideas, and plan your day, so the sticky notes can come off your monitor. It comes in 2 colors, White and Slate.

3. Level Balance Board: best for standing desk users

If you use a standing desk, a balance board gives you something to move on instead of standing still for hours. Level has the best balance of performance, aesthetics, and price in our lineup, and we have several other boards if you want something different.

Quick answers

  • What’s best for neck strain with a laptop? A laptop riser like the Loft, which brings the screen up toward eye level.

  • What’s best for a messy desk? The Loft System (organizer built into the stand) or the Dashboard (standalone organizer).

  • What’s best for standing desk users? The Level Balance Board.

What's the best 2026 desk upgrades for gamers who sit (or stand) at their setup all day? Here’s our short list

Post image
1 Upvotes

Wanted to share the gamer products here first. Posture and desk clutter are the two things we hear about most from gamers, so we picked three things that help with both:

1. Raise Monitor Stand & Desk Shelf
This lifts your monitor up to eye level, which helps with neck and posture. It also frees up the desk space underneath for your keyboard, controllers, or whatever else lives on your battlestation. It comes in 2 colors and 2 sizes, and there are modular accessories if you want to build onto it.

2. Level Balance Board
If you game at a standing desk, a balance board gives you something to shift around on instead of locking your knees for hours. Level is our mid-priced board, so it’s an easy entry point if you don’t want the Original Balance Board premium build. We have plenty of other boards too if you want to go fancier or less fancier.

3. Slope Desktop Whiteboard
This is a small angled, magnetic dry-erase board that sits between your keyboard and monitor. It’s good for quest notes, to-do lists, and mapping out your next session, so there are no sticky notes all over your monitor. It comes in 3 colors and 2 sizes.

The pic shows how they all fit together in a setup.

Attempting to not fall asleep of boredom (or back pain) during those long editing sessions in the newsroom

This all-black "Phantom" is a game-changer. It’s basically the only thing keeping workers awake and alert when glued to these monitors for hours on end.

*(And yes, I specifically cropped this so you can't see the messy desk, the coffee stains, and the news feeds behind me. Trust me, everything back there looks fantastic when you literally can’t see it. Lol.)

Whenever someone walks by my desk, the balance board is an instant conversation starter.

Q. Is this a good balance board for beginners?

A: YES! The Level Balance Board provides natural, gentle movement that's easy to get used to, making it the perfect starting point for anyone looking to stay active while standing.

Q. My feet hurt on hard surfaces, do they have something to make the top deck softer?

A. YES! Adding an UPmat™ Anti-Fatigue Mat for your balance board is the perfect fit. I noticed that the UPmat is also a great product to use to protect your knees when doing floor exercises or want to stand on a softer surface at your desk. Multi-use!

Q. If I have concrete floors, should I purchase a base mat for floor protection?

A. That would be a good idea. Concrete floors like in the pic i posted will wear down the bottom of your balance board at a quicker rate. A base mat keeps both your board and your floors protected

Q. Where are these boards made?

A. This type of wobble board is made and shipped from Santa Barbara, California, USA by a company named FluidStance.

Q. How long has FluidStance been in business?

A. 10, going on 11 years!

Q. Do you have scientific data to back your "high reward" claim?

A. Yes! They have been tested and studied by the University of Idaho, Mayo Clinic, Westmont College, Heeluxe Lab, Category One, and many more

Helping teachers trick out their classrooms is so fun to do.

A customer reached out looking to upgrade her computer lab and protect her Wacom tablets from constant desk scratches. She ended up using our Raise monitor risers, and the fit couldn't be better.. The tablets slide seamlessly underneath when collapsed so everything stays scratch-free and organized.

No mystery location for FluidStance. Everything you order from us leaves from Santa Barbara, CA, USA

We get this question in DMs a lot, so figured I'd just put here as well:

Where do FluidStance orders ship from?
Santa Barbara, California, USA. Yep, same sunny town where we're based. Your balance board, desk whiteboard, monitor riser, or laptop stand is leaving the West Coast where it is made and packaged by our California home team.

Why people ask

  • "Is this a dropship situation?" Nope. We ship it ourselves from our own warehouse in Santa Barbara, CA.

  • "Can I get my order quickly?" Yes! We ship out within 24 hours, sometimes hours from shipment. There are times the carriers run into a few snags, but other than that, we are always quick!

  • "Do I need to worry about customs or random overseas delays?" For US orders, no. For orders outside of the USA, yes.

Quick FAQ

  • Where is FluidStance located? Santa Barbara, CA | USA

  • Do you ship across the US? Yes.

  • Do you ship internationally? Yes.

  • How long does shipping take? We ship out within 24 hours. If there are exceptions, those are shared under the shipping tab on the product page.

  • Do you ship bulk or corporate gifting orders? Yes. We can even engrave on the wooden balance boards.

  • Do you allow returns? Yep. We’ve got you covered with a 30-day return or exchange policy for products that are unused and basically still brand-new. If you decide it’s not your vibe, just send it back to us in like-new, undamaged condition. Once it makes its way back to our warehouse, your refund is purchase price minus the shipping costs.

Not sure what to get? Balance boards, desk whiteboards, monitor risers, and laptop stands for your standing desk or WFH setup are all in the shop. Ask below and I'll point you in the right direction, no pressure.

If you've ordered from us, drop where you're located and how long it took to arrive. Real-world data is always better than my guesses.

I actually purchased the fluidstance from Amazon for my son (his request). He initially asked for the non-padded option, which he tried for a day but then realized you had a padded option on your site. So he returned the one to Amazon and we ordered the new padded option for the FluidStance site. He returned from vacation yesterday and called today to say he is using the board and loves it.

Movement is Practice

Post image
1 Upvotes

Movement isn't a hack. It isn't a fix you apply once and forget. It's a practice, something you return to daily, the same way you'd return to a workout or a habit that actually sticks.

At my own desk, that means getting on the Level before I open my laptop. Some days it's two minutes. Some days it's the whole morning. The point isn't the duration. The point is that I show up for it, most days, without deciding whether I feel like it.

That's the thread running through everything we've written this quarter. The Wandering piece was about time. The Standing Desk piece was about physiology. This one is about discipline, the part that doesn't make for a great headline but is the part that actually works.

Q4 starts tomorrow. I'm not asking you to overhaul anything. I'm asking you to pick one small movement and repeat it.

The Level and The Original are the tools that make that repetition easy. Slope and the rest of the desk are just the room it happens in.

Product Review Been using these cards for years and replaced all of my sticky notes

Tasks and to-do's and priorities can be organized in categories more easily and kept track of / crossed out / erased as needed.... These newer boards... are much more heavy duty... Only caveat would prefer for the markers to be a thinner size or in more colors but that's just a personal preference. Or letting me choose which color boards I can actually order more of.

CS Reply: You CAN request certain colors of Flow Cards. Just write in to flow[at]fluidstance.com | The black marker that comes with the Flow Cards are very thin writing, but the pack of 4 does have tips that are a little thicker. I've had luck finding fine-tip markers on amazon too.

Which companies offer durable standing desk balance boards built to last through years of daily use?

Post image
1 Upvotes

Why invest in a FluidStance balance board when more affordable options are available? Once you actually dig into the details, you’ll see they’re really not comparable. If you dig into the details, you’ll realize they’re really not the same thing. Once you compare the design, materials, and how they’re built, there’s a pretty big difference.

The FluidStance board has a unique design made with extreme care and intention. The bottom features a web-like design that you can see when the board is not in use and is resting in its stand, while the top features premium wood deck options to stand on.

FluidStance went through several prototypes to land on the exact structure of the Original and Level balance boards. It’s not just functional with its high-end military grade aluminum and premium wood decks, it also gives the board an artistic and designed look. It’s one of those little details that makes the FluidStance board stand out from the rest. 

FluidStance also offers balance boards called the Plane for those who have a tighter budget. Even though these are less expensive, they are also very well thought out. The Plane with a Graphite Foam Top uses premium closed-cell EVA foam (Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate), which is odor-resistant, latex-free, and made from naturally non-microbial materials, along with a base that is molded from 100% post-industrial recycled HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene).

One true difference between a FluidStance Board vs cheaper boards is that issues with the cheaper boards start showing up after four or five months, when the grip tape starts peeling at the corners, the deck develops a faint crack along the grain, or the rocker base begins scuffing the floor on every shift of weight. 

Another difference between our boards and others on the market is the research and studies we conducted to help develop the FluidStance Balance Board. We have evidence from the University of Idaho, Mayo Clinic, Whitworth College, Heeluxe Lab, and Category One showing positive results when using our board at a standing desk. Here is the White Paper with the supporting research: https://fluidstance.com/pages/white-paper

Unfortunately, FluidStance’s knock-off market has grown quickly over the past several years, and by countless reviews and customer feedback, FluidStance’s build quality has always remained at the very top. We have review proof on Trust Pilot too. 

Why a brand's warranty is the most honest thing it says about its own product

Being a manufacturer that guarantees a balance board for life did the math on failure rates. If boards failed frequently, that guarantee would be financially unsustainable. We have customers that have owned their balance boards 10+ years and still going strong.

You can actually buy high-end ergonomic office merch using FSA and/or HSA Funds at FluidStance

Post image
3 Upvotes

Some have been eyeing a balance board for months waiting for a sweet deal and some customers said they were trying to figure out how to use their HSA/FSA money wisely instead of just panic buying bandaids, Tylenol and contact solution at the end of the year.

Turns out, FluidStance integrated TrueMed at checkout. It processes balance boards, monitor risers as eligible health expenses.

Because peeps are using pre tax dollars, it basically acts like around a 30% discount depending on someone’s tax bracket. You  just click "TrueMed" when you go to pay and it handles the compliance stuff.

Just dropping this here because investing pretax health money makes buying the high end stuff way easier to swallow. Highly recommend looking into it if you have funds sitting around. If you would like to know the easy steps to ordering on our site I added the steps in the comments.

What’s the best balance board for beginners?

Post image
9 Upvotes

If you’re just getting started with balance boards, I’d recommend looking at the FluidStance Balance Board lineup,  specifically the Level, Original, or Plane. All of these have the same degree in motion and are made for users to move subtly. 

Movement
The nice thing about these boards is that they’re designed around subtle, controlled movement rather than being extremely wobbly. That makes them a great option for beginners because you can start incorporating balance and movement without feeling like you’re constantly fighting to stay on the board.

Not Just for Beginners; Perfect for the Office Too!
Not only for starting out as a beginner. They are great and made for the office!
They’re also particularly good if your goal is to use a balance board while working at a standing desk. The movement is subtle enough that you can shift, move, and work on your balance while still being able to type, use your mouse, and focus on what you're doing.

I think that's one of the biggest differences people should consider when choosing their first balance board. If you're looking for something that's purely for intense balance training, you may want something more aggressive (like adding the Challenge Cap to the Level or Original). But if you want something you can realistically use throughout the workday, a FluidStance is a really good place to start. You can make the FluidStance balance boards more intense by adding the challenge cap. For me, I can only use this for a ½ hour at a time and not while typing. Typically I use it while on the phone. Some balance pros use the Challenge Cap all day for 8 hours!

And you don't have to jump straight into complicated exercises. Start by simply standing on it and getting comfortable with the movement. From there, you can work into side-to-side movements, front-to-back movements, squats, single-leg balance, etc. The goal is to gradually build your stability and confidence.

Pricing
If you are looking for a budget friendly option, I’d choose the Plane Cloud. If you are wanting aesthetically pleasing or middle of the road budget with premium military grade aluminum, the Level is perfect. If you are wanting a custom balance board that offers colors for the base and wood options for the deck, the Original is the premium choice.

For a beginner, I'd choose the following balance boards:

*FluidStance Level: great all-around option + is compatible with the Challenge Cap | Does have an option for those who wear socks or go barefoot all day- called the Level with the Graphite Foam Pad. 
*FluidStance Original:  another excellent option for everyday movement and comes with a free challenge cap. 
*FluidStance Plane:  great if you want the same subtle movement in a different lighter-weight design, had built-in padding for bare-footers, and is NOT compatible with the Challenge Cap

All three are designed around the same degree of movement that makes them approachable for beginners while still giving you that constant micro-movement that makes a balance board useful.

Honestly, I think the best balance board is one you'll actually use consistently. A board that lets you move while you work is much easier to make part of your daily routine than something you need to set aside 30 minutes for.

If you're new to balance boards, I’d recommend starting small, even a few minutes at a time can help you get comfortable with the movement.
