They were genuinely excited for a new seating option. The students walked in with huge smiles, excitedly pointing out which table with stools they wanted to try first. Many of them kept saying, \"This is so cool!\" and \"We get to use these?!\" That excitement hasn't faded; every day, they continue to treat the flexible seating options as something special.
