Why does nobody talk about the cost of a proper drawing tablet stand?

I finally caved and bought a heavy-duty, adjustable stand for my Wacom Cintiq last month. It was around $180, which felt like a lot for a piece of metal. But after a week of using it, my neck and shoulder pain from hunching over the screen is almost gone. I can tilt and raise the display to exactly the right angle now. Honestly, it's made my 4-5 hour painting sessions way more comfortable. Has anyone else found a specific piece of gear that unexpectedly improved your workflow this much?

Ever try drawing on one of those cheap plastic lap desks? Mine snapped in half after a week.

Seriously, that stand is a game changer. A lot of people just prop their tablet on a stack of books and deal with the pain. It seems like a silly cost until you realize your posture is wrecked. That kind of gear is an investment in your actual health, not just a tool. I put off buying one for years and my back was a mess. Totally worth the money to not feel broken after a long session.

Ugh, my chiropractor basically said the same thing last month.
