Getting started
Do I need a standing desk to use a deck?
Nope. Our purpose at FluidStance® is to help set the world in motion. A deck at a standing desk is a great way to bring more movement into your workspace — but you can enjoy the benefits anywhere: at home, in the classroom, even in front of the TV.
How much height does a deck add?
2.5–3"
Added height, depending on the model. Plan your desk height with this in mind.
If you have a standing workstation, we recommend an adjustable desk to account for the added height. Adding raisers is another great way to keep your setup at an ergonomically optimal height.
Don't have a standing desk? No problem. The decks are designed to add movement to any space — work, home, classroom. Just step on and start flowing.
Can I stand on my deck all day?
It's all about balance — building strength in those small, newly activated muscles while respecting the healthy fatigue your body feels when it does something new.

Decks & specs
What are the dimensions of FluidStance decks?
| Model | L × W × H | Weight |
|---|---|---|
| The Original | 26.5" × 12.2" × 2.5" | 7 lbs 12 oz |
| Level® | 26.5" × 12.2" × 2.5" | 7 lbs 12 oz |

How do the various models of FluidStance decks differ?
Every deck delivers the same subtle, 360-degree motion — the functional geometry is identical across models. The difference in price comes down to materials and manufacturing.
The Original ($ 389) was our first board to market and remains our most premium: a sustainable bamboo top deck on a sturdy, military-grade aluminum base with a custom-color powder-coat. Tested to hold up to 350 lbs.
The Level® (from $ 289) has a premium wood top deck in natural or Walnut finish, on a die-cast aluminum base. Tested to hold up to 300 lbs.
The Plane® Cloud (from $ 169) shares the same carefully engineered geometry, made from recycled plastic with a slightly smaller footprint. Its textured foam top is naturally non-microbial to prevent odor — and 100% recyclable. Comfortably holds up to 250 lbs.

Floors & setup
Do FluidStance decks work on carpet?
Yes. For the best ride, we recommend one of our Base Mats or a small chair mat — a firmer surface optimizes your flow.
Will the FluidStance deck damage my hardwood floors?
Decks work on most floors — carpet, wood and concrete. Depending on how much you ride, the powder-coated finish may show wear over time. Like a rolling chair, constant motion can mark a floor, so we recommend a protective mat between your deck and the floor.

Care & maintenance
Standard maintenance for Levels and Originals
In some climates, the spot where wood meets metal benefits from a little polish a couple of times a year to eliminate creaking. You may rarely — if ever — need to do this. Spray a natural wood polish (we like beeswax) around the perimeter of the bottom of the wood, only where wood and metal meet, then wipe off any excess.
Never polish the top of the wood — it needs its natural traction to keep you steady.
How do I care for my FluidStance deck or Springboard?
Wipe it down with warm water and mild soap, then dry completely before riding. Don't use chemical cleaners or wood polish. Or reach for Shine, our all-purpose cleaner — non-toxic, biodegradable, fume-free and made from 99% natural, plant-derived ingredients. Safe for any work or home environment.

How do I clean my FluidStance whiteboard?
Use a soft, damp cloth with a little mild soap, then wipe dry with a soft towel. Shine, our natural all-purpose cleaner, works beautifully on whiteboards too.
How do I clean the provided whiteboard dry eraser?
Toss it in the washing machine inside a mesh laundry bag (skip the fabric softener), then let it air dry.
07
Discounts & gift cards
Why won't my discount code work?
The most common reasons:
- New-subscriber codes expire on the eighth day after you receive them.
- Codes can't be combined or used on Bundles.
- Codes only apply to items that aren't already on sale.
- Codes don't work on already reduced-price Secondhand items.

- 1Enter your own email at purchase.
- 2Look for a receipt and gift card from flow@fluidstance.com (check junk, just in case).
