Hacky, but it works and I can't tell you the number of other startup folk I've met with that have the same kind of setup. Although theirs is usually more permanent with reams of paper or textbooks.
I used to have a Herman Miller before I moved to SF, now I'm on a $47 office max chair. It's only so comfortable for about 2 hours then I notice my posture is horrible.
- wyclif 16y agoNice hack, I like on the fly solutions like that, and best of all you didn't have to buy anything new. That's the origin of the setup I have now, which is semi-permanent. For a dedicated approach, I've heard people with a lot more money than me rave about the Steelcase Airtouch: http://www.steelcase.com/en/products/category/tables/adjustable/airtouch/pages/overview.aspx http://www.steelcase.com/en/products/category/tables/adjusta...
- PStamatiou 16y agoI think the SF SimpleGeo office has those desks (along with a bunch of $$$ HM Embody chairs). Definitely a pleasure to work on.
- wsimmons 16y agoWe actually have these: http://www.geekdesk.com/ http://www.geekdesk.com/ They are pretty awesome, but the full size ones are pretty huge.
- wyclif 16y agoHow is the quality on the motors that adjust these? I've heard about those Geekdesks, that was a good business idea IMO. I think I still like Steelcase better just because it adjusts by hand and there aren't as many moving parts or a motor to potentially burn out and replace.
- GiraffeNecktie 16y agoGee thanks. Now I've got a big red mark on my forehead where I smacked myself saying "Why didn't I think of that?" It's not hacky, it's beautiful.
