They can choose a space that is comfortable and allows them to work in a space that best suits their individual needs. The stools are wonderful for small group activities at our tables. The yoga donuts are hit for working on the floor while they get their wiggles out. \r\n The digital clock is awesome, it shows them the time, date, weather and more.
