They were puzzled at first not understanding what they were or meant for, which is understandable because the desks do not look like desks until you sit on one to hold it up. Once they figured out how to use them, they were so excited. We recently just used them around the room to work in groups to peer review each other's essays. I am getting daily requests now to work on the floor just so they can use these desks. \r\n\r\nWe are very happy for the donations! My students are loving the flexible seating.
